How to get max date field in the query

Hi,
We uploads the data into the cube every week.
Basically we are planning to put some ticker on the query. This ticker will show the user, upto which date the data is available in the cube.
I want the query, which will show me only the maximum date (maximum 0calday) from the infocube in the report.
This in turn, I will use in the ticker and make use of it.
Can anyone please help in making this query.
Thanks
Ramesh Ganji

if 0CALDAY is used as a characteristic then you have to convert that as a key figure using a replacement path variable.
Please see the below link for changing 0CALDAY as a key figure using Replacement path
http://www.sd-solutions.com/documents/SDS_BW_Replacement%20Path%20Variables.html
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001963972003E/HowToCalcWithAttr.pdf
Now you have to create an exception "Top N Rows" based on the replacement path variable created above.
This will solve your problem.

by using above data i want to get max data

Hi Hari3109,
According to your description, you want to get the max date for the employees, right?
In your scenario, do you want to get the max date for all the employees or for each employee? In MDX, we have the Max function to achieve your requirement. You can refer to Naveen's link or the link below to see the details.

If this is not what you want, please provide us more information about the structure of you cube, so that we can make further analysis.

How to get values/data stored in the database into a list-item.

how to get values/data stored in the database into a list-item.
i tried to make a list item without any values assigned to it...but i got the below error.
FRM-30191: No list items defined for required poplist.
or
FRM-32082: Invalid value for given item type.
List EMPNO
Item: EMPNO
Block: EMP
Form: MODULE5
FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output.
then according to some docs, i tried the the following for the trigger
when-new-form-instance
declare
     rg_name varchar2(40) := 'emp_rec';
     status number;
     groupid recordgroup;
     it_id item;
begin
     it_id := Find_Item('empno');
     groupid := create_group_from_query(rg_name, 'select empno from emp');
     status := populate_group(groupid);
     populate_list(it_id, groupid);
end;
but yet didnt work... :(
so how the heck do i get values fetched from the database table into the list item?

for list items you need to values in the record group, one is the shown value and one is the returned value.
Check out the online help for the populate_list built-in.
You'll need something like select ename,ename from emp as the record group query.

How to get max date in variable using dynamic query

Hi,
the following code gets all dates from sourcetable i want only max date , so i thought max function can be added and it will work
but still i have to create a table for one value(scalar) can get it in any other effeciant way.
declare
TYPE date_string IS TABLE OF VARCHAR(1000);
date_obj date_string;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT to_char('''||day1||'-'||month1||'-'||year1||''') FROM '||source_schema||'.'|| sourcetable ||'' bulk collect INTO date_obj;
FOR indx IN date_obj.FIRST..date_obj.LAST loop
dbms_output.put_line(
date_obj(indx));
END loop;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Sample output');
END;
yours sincerely

the following code gets all dates from sourcetableNo it doesn't. What is the datatype of day1, month1 and year1? They cannot be DATE datatypes otherwise your TO_CHAR would fail with all that concatenation going on. And your TO_CHAR is returning a VARCHAR2 datatype... so you cannot say that it is getting all dates... because there are no DATE datatypes returned. It's getting a lot of strings, but certainly not DATE's.
i want only max date , so i thought max function can be added and it will work You can use the MAX function on a DATE datatype, but not on strings (at least not in the way you intend it to work).
Converting it to a DATE before doing the MAX will allow you to get the maximum date (assuming the date format is correct)
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT max(to_date(to_char('''||day1||'-'||month1||'-'||year1||'''),''DD-MM-YYYY'')) FROM '||source_schema||'.'|| sourcetable ||'' bulk collect INTO date_obj;Then you will find have the other issues...
a) you are then going to be fetching your DATEs in to a collection of VARCHAR strings. (Not even VARCHAR2, very poor). This should be DATE datatype
b) you are bulk collecting into a collection, when you are using MAX which will return a single value in your example
And you really should address the design issues:
c) why are day, month and year, not being stored in the database as a single DATE datatype in the first place
d) why does your code not know the name of the table it's querying requiring the use of very poor dynamic SQL techniques.
e) why are you loading data in a collection in expensive PGA memory... what can't you do in SQL that requires you to collect the data into memory first?

How to get max(date) with BI Answers?

Hi,
I have a fact table with costs of projects and several dimension tables. The data in the fact table is stored day-based and is related to a time dimension. Additionally there is a relation between the fact table and the project dimension. A project has several dimension attributes like "current"
Now I want to create the following query in BI Answers:
Get the costs to a project where the "current" attribute was set to Y and show the related date.
My thoughts were, that I'm looking in the project dimension where the "current" attribute is set to Y and do a join on the fact table. Therefore I get several dates, because there are more than one day where the project status was set to Y. How can I get the last, highest date?
Greetings

Hi,
Maybe you could order by date descending and show the Top N (=1).
Good Luck,

Keyfigure value by comparing 2 date fields, in the query designer.

Hi all,
Could any one please intimate, how to display the key figure result with the comparison of 2 date fields.
We are having "Completed Date" say(CDATE) and "Deadline Date"(DDATE) values in the report as time characteristics, dervied from the CRM system.
Now we need to compare the values as:
CDATE <= DDATE, then only consider this under "Meeting Planned Date"(Key Figure).
Could you please intimate, how to display the key figure value, by using the code at the query designer level.
Thanks & Regards,
A.V.N.Rao

Hi Rao,
Simple create two formula variables with replacement path from these two date fileds,then create a formula then do the comparison
Eg:
ZVAR_CDATE WITH REPLACEMENT PATH PROCESSING TYPE REPLACED WITH OBJ CDATE
ZVAR_DDATE WITH REPLACEMENT PATH PROCESSING TYPE REPLACED WITH OBJ DDATE
CREATE A FORMULA FORMULA1: IN THE FORMULA BUILDER AREA DO THE COMPARISON.
Thanks & Regards

How to get max date in child table

I have tow tables Departments as the master table and Employees as the child table
The employees table (the child) has employee_hiring_date Field .
I want to get the maximum hiring date in the employee table for every department to make validation over it.
How to make this.

It's more or less described in the doc I gave you.
OK, lets do it with your sample.
I assume you have accessors defined to navigate between the master and the detail (in both directions). The accessors on entity level are named
"Employees1" to get the employees of a department
"Departments1" to get the department of an employee
1. In the Departments entity you add a transient attribute "MaxSalary" as type Number, select 'Expression' as 'Value Type' and type "Employees1.max("Salary")" in the value field. Make sure to uncheck the 'Persistent' attribute in the dialog. This will mark the attribute as transient.
2. in the entity Employees open the 'Business Rules' and select the 'Saraly' attribute. Add a rule by clicking the green plus. 'Rule Type' is 'Compare', 'Operator' is 'LessOrEqualTo' and in the 'Compare With' drop down select 'Expression'. In the Dialog enter "Departments1.MaxSalary". Switchto the 'FailureHandling' tab and type in a message you like to see (e.g. 'The Salary is too high!") and save your work. The magic is done in the expression "Departments1.MaxSalary" which selects the department of the employee and gets the value of the attribute 'MaxSalary' which is an other Groovy expression which gets the max salary of all employees in the department.
3. To get the 'MaxSalary' attribute from the entity to the view object, you can open the VO editor and select the 'Attributes' section. Click the arrow down right of green plus and select 'Add Attribute from Entity, shuffle the MaxSalary attribute you see in the Department entity to the right and save your work.
If you now test the app in the Tester try changing the salary of an employee to a value higher then max of the department and you should see your error message.

Tricky SQL query... how to get all data in a single query?

create table employee_definition (def_id number, def_name varchar(50));
insert into employee_definition values (100, 'EMAIL');
insert into employee_definition values (200, 'MOBILE_PHONE');
insert into employee_definition values (300, 'HOME_PHONE');
SQL> select * from employee_definition;
    DEF_ID DEF_NAME
       100 EMAIL
       200 MOBILE_PHONE
       300 HOME_PHONE
create table employee_data (def_id number, def_value varchar(20), emp_id number);
insert into employee_data values (100, '[email protected]', 123);
insert into employee_data values (200, '01232222', 123);

insert into employee_data values (300, '999', 666);
insert into employee_data values (300, '444', 777);
SQL> select * from employee_data;
    DEF_ID DEF_VALUE                EMP_ID
       100 [email protected]              123

       300 5555                        123
       100 [email protected]              666
       200 888                         666
       300 999                         666
       300 999                         777
7 rows selected.I'm supposed to create a SQL that will return me the email, mobile_phone, and home_phone for a set of employees. The result will be something like this:
EMPLOYEE ID | HOME_PHONE | MOBILE_PHONE | EMAIL
123         | 5555 |    01232222      | [email protected]
666         | 999 |    888      | [email protected]
777         | 444 |    null     | nullThe thing I'm finding difficulty here is that the same column is used to store different values, based on the value in employee_definition table (something like a key/value pair). If I do:
SQL> select emp_id, def_value as email from employee_data, employee_definition
2 where employee_data.def_id = employee_definition.def_id
3 and employee_definition.def_name = 'EMAIL';
    EMP_ID EMAIL
       123 [email protected]
       666 [email protected]'s partially ok.. I'm just getting the definition for 'EMAIL'. But how can I get all the values in a single query, knowing that the column stores different values based on def_name?

Oh no, not again.
Entity attribute models always seem like a great idea to people who have been in the profession for five minutes and lack any kind of fundamental knowledge.
It staggers me that someone with 2,345 posts still believes "you need a 'detail table' for [storing multiple telephone numbers]"
"A person can have multiple telephone numbers" is not an excuse to build a tired person_attribute table. Niether is the bizarre proposal by someone with over 4k posts who should know better in an earlier post that EAV models are necessary to support temporal fidelity.
Taken to it's logical conclusion, EAV modelling leads to just two application tables. THINGS and THING_ATTRIBUTES. And when you consider that a THING_ATTRIBUTE is also a THING, why not roll those two tables up into one also? Hmmm, what does THINGS and THING_ATTRIBUTES look like? I know, TABLES and COLUMNS. Who would've guessed? SQL already provides the completely flexible extensible attribute model the advocates of EAV proscribe. But it also has data types, physical data independence, constraints and an efficient query language which EAV does not.
EAV modelling errodes the semantics of the attributes which are bundled into the "attribute" table.
There is no point in storing 12 different phone numbers with implied functional dependency to unconstrained and often repeating notional attributes like "MOBILE", "LANDLINE", "WORK", err, "WORK2", err, "MOBILE2", err, ... when this phone type attribute has no semantic value. When you want to call someone, you invariably want to retrive the prefered_phone_number which may depend on a time of day, or a call context.
These things need to be modelled properly (i.e normalised to BCNF) within the context of the database.

How i can change date format in the query

I have made a query and Document date format is DD/MM/YYYY but i want Document date Format as YYYYMMDD. Please help me out as soon as posible.
Thanks is advance.

Hi Harman,
By default query shows same date setting what is maitianed in SU01 (user maintenance). User can set the dates as they want. Ask user to log in BI system and go to system> User Profile> Own Data. They can select the date format and save the changes.
If you want to display same setting for all user, please select the format whenever you create any users and change for existing users.

How to replace a dates on a SQL query on Visual Studio (and get the query to work in there in the first place)?

Morning all,
I've just been assigned a report-related project but I have not created much of anything in C# or .Net before!
I was wondering if someone could help me get started. Here are the specifications:
Basically, I am to create an automated report application. I have the query and I will include it further down
in this post. The page is to have a couple blanks to specify the Start Date and End Date and replace those dates in the query, and generate the report. What I need some help on is how to make the SQL query work in the application which I will connect to the
intended database to generate the report (basic I know, but I'm new at this) on Visual Studio 2010. I also need some help on programming the Start Date blank and End Date blank so that what the user types in for those blanks will replace the date fields in
the SQL query, then generate the report with the new dates.
I appreciate the help!
The SQL query and what the dates are replacing:

Could you elaborate more on what this code does in general?
Does it generate a table with the data between specified dates? If so, where is the table shown?
Where does one enter in the specified start and end dates on the Web Application? Do I have to create start and end date blanks and link them to the code for it to work?
Sorry for the inconvenience - I'm just really new at this. Thanks!

How to get a minus sign with the cost field in ALV.

Hi ,
How to get a minus sign with the cost field in ALV.
The Ouput will be displayed like Rs -1500 instead of 1500-
I can't use concatenate also as i may have to use the sum functionality of ALV .
Cheers
Sunny

Hi sunny,
1. The OTHER FIELD
has to be character field of say length 15.
2. Write the original numeric value to
this character field (in a loop)
3. But simply writing won't help.
4. use this kind of logic.
5.
REPORT abc.
DATA : m TYPE i.
DATA : chr(15) TYPE c.
m = -100.
WRITE m TO chr.
IF m < 0.
SHIFT chr RIGHT BY 1 PLACES.
CONDENSE chr.
CONCATENATE '-' chr INTO chr.
ENDIF.
WRITE chr.

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.
