How to show current date in a column of dimension table in ssas

Hi,
I have 2 dimension tables (ALLWORK and YOURWORK) and 1 measure table (STATS). In ALLWORK dim table, I have 4 columns, one of them is END_DATE. Based on END_DATE and current date I want to create a named calculation field. To achieve this, I
want to show the current date in 5th column (of ALLWORK dim table) as calculated member (as named calculation wont show me correct date).
Problem is, I am not able to create the column in the dimension table. While creating the calculated member, I am not able to select the ALLWORK dimension table, it always selects MEASURE by default. Please help.
thanks
Tarique
thanks and regards Tarique Aslam

Hi Tarique,
According to your description, you want to add a column to your dimension to show the current date, right?
In data source view, we can add named calculation to your table. A named calculation is a SQL expression represented as a calculated column. This expression appears and behaves as a column in the table. A named calculation lets you extend the relational
schema of existing tables or views in a data source view without modifying the tables or views in the underlying data source.

How can I take data from specific column in a table using VBA

Hi
I do not know how to take the values from the last column in a table, I know how to look over each row but I cannot take the last column values for each row I pass by.
This is the table for example:
| Date | Account1 | Account2 | Description | Amount |
|12/03/2008 | 123-32 | 325-78 | None | $50 |
|12/03/2008 | 123-32 | 325-78 | None | $20 |
|12/03/2008 | 123-32 | 325-78 | None | $10 |
|12/03/2008 | 123-32 | 325-78 | None | $40 |
I am using this code as a reference that User FiveNines gave me to loop through all the rows in the table, so What I need is to take the values of the column Amount for each row I go through.
Private Sub RSWVBAPage_afterPlay()
Dim tbl As HTMLTable
Dim tblRow As HTMLTableRow
Dim tblCell As HTMLTableCell
Dim strValue As String
Dim rButton As HTMLInputElement
' ******** This would be your global variable. I put this so that values are seperated by a semicolin you can use what ever format works for you.
strValue = "03/22/2008;03/22/2008;*************1977;*************1977;$25.25;Jan, Jun, Jul, Dec"
' Strip out the ; for inner text comparison
strValue = Replace(strValue, ";", "")
' This will get the table but can be modifoed to be more specific
Set tbl = RSWApp.om.FindElement(, "TABLE")
' This loops through all the rows in the table until a match to the strValue is found
For Each tblRow In tbl.rows
If tblRow.innerText = strValue Then
RSWApp.WriteToLog "Tables", "Passed", "Row is Present", True
End If
Next
End Sub

Hi Lippix.
This is code that will loop the rows then loop the cells and check for "$" which will return dollar values. I also attached a script.
Private Sub RSWVBAPage_afterPlay()
Dim tbl As HTMLTable
Dim tblRow As HTMLTableRow
Dim tblCell As HTMLTableCell
Dim strValue As String
' This will get the table but can be modifoed to be more specific
Set tbl = RSWApp.om.FindElement(, "TABLE")
' This loops through all the rows in the table until a match to the strValue is found
For Each tblRow In tbl.rows
  For Each tblCell In tblRow.cells
' cycle through the cells and only report those with a dollar value by searching for $
    If InStr(1, tblCell.innerText, "$") <> 0 Then
   RSWApp.WriteToLog tblCell.innerText
   End If
Next
Next
End Sub

Show Current Date in Year Format (and now - 1, etc.)

Our form has some column headers that need to change each year, the headings are current year (2010) + previous 3 years. Am trying to programatically add the titles to eliminate modifying the form just to change the year, but not finding how to accomplish, and was checking out some date samples found, but no success yet. My question is 2 part - how/where do I put code, I don't need the user to enter anything, just want a column header. This example below is where I copied the idea from a sample and tried to adjust, it's on the calculate event of a date/time field, and I get an error message that says 'the display pattern "date-{MM/DD]" is incompatible with the object's data format. Define a compatible Display pattern. This display pattern error is the 2nd part of the question. How do I display only the 4 digit year?
year1.rawValue
= num2date(date(), "YYYY")
How do I accomplish this - am newbie on this! Thank you very much!

A: Show Current Date in Year Format (and now - 1, etc.)

1) I typically use a hidden field to capture the current date on the layout:ready event.
2) If year1 is a date object your script is valid but you are probably missing the display pattern date{YYYY} on year1.
If year1 is a text field you could could capture current year in a hidden field as
// form1.page1.currentYear::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)
$.rawValue = Num2Date(Date(), "YYYY")
where currentYear has the display pattern date{YYYY} and add
this.rawValue = form1.page1.currentYear.rawValue;
to the calculate event of year1.

How can I Move data from one column to another in my access table?

I have two columns, one that stores current month’s data and one that stores last month’s data. Every month data from column 2 (this month’s data) needs to be moved to column 1 that holds last month’s data. I then null out column 2 so I can accumulates this month’s data.
I understand how to drop a column or add a column, how do I transfer data from one column to another.
Here is my trial code:
<cfquery name="qQueryChangeColumnName" datasource="#dsn#">
ALTER TABLE leaderboard
UPDATE leaderboard SET points2 = points3
</cfquery>
Unfortunately, I get the following error:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in ALTER TABLE statement.
How can I transfer my data with the alter table method?

I looked up the Access SQL reference (which is probably a
good place to start when having issues with Access SQL), and
it suggests you probably need a WHERE clause in there.
I agree the documentation is a good place to start. But you should not need a WHERE clause here.
Too few parameters. Expected 1.
If you run the SQL directly in Access, what are the results? At the very least, it should provide a more informative error message..

How to show current year and last year sales in a WEBI Report

Hi Guys
How can show current YEar Sales in one column and Last YEar Sales in the other column based on a user prompt for the Current YEar Column.
For Example is user enter 2010 for Year how can i show a Column for Sales-2010 and Sales 2009.
Thanks

If you can modify your Universe add an object named New Object Last Year whose SQL is:( yourTableName.Year + 1)
Then in WebI create two distinct queries in your query Pane. In the first one you could do this:
Query 1:
objects: Year, Sales ... etc.
filters:   Year Equal to '1. Prompt Year'
Query 2:
objects: Year, Sales ... etc.
filters:    New Object Last Year Equal to '1.Prompt Year'
Then in your report you can drag each object on their respective columns.
If you don't want to use two distinct queries, use one like this:
Query 1:
objects: Year, Sales ... etc.
filters:        Year Equal to '1. Prompt Year'
             Or
                  New Object Last Year Equal to '1.Prompt Year'

How to show only date in BO webi 3.1 text box

how to show only date in BO webi 3.1 text box for e.g:-
01/01/2005 (no time only date)

hi,
just check by which format your date is coming
just create a one variable and check =UserResponse("Transaction Date From (mm/dd/yy)")
if your output is in format of("mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a")
then some format we have to write in todate syntax
then your final formula for date would be
=FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Transaction Date From (mm/dd/yy)");"mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss A");"dd/mm/yyyy")

APEX CSS - How do I get data in report columns to wrap?

I found information here http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/APEX_FAQ
About How do I get data in report columns to wrap?
This works and another way to do it is by adding the CSS directly into the
Home>Application Builder>Application 137>Page 1>Report Attributes>Column Attributes page
in the Column Formatting area. I added 'white-space:normal' and this works in FF but in
IE it has a different behavior.
In FireFox
testasdgadhad
gadfadgadgadg
adgafhsrgjsgnsfg
nsdfbadfafhafha
dfhadfh
In Internet Explorer
testasdgadhad gadfadgadgadg adgafhsrgjsgnsfg nsdfbadfafhafha dfhadfh
Is there a way to force it so it display in IE the same way that it displays in FF?
The correct display format is FF.
Thanks,
Nestor :)

I have try this because I found it during a search and it makes no difference in IE.
This is what I am using now 'display: block; width: 100px;max-width:100px;white-space:normal'
I also tried 'display:block; width:500px'
If I use the values 'normal' or 'pre' for white-space' it works in FireFox but not in IE, The display block
does not seem to make a difference. It seems that all I need is 'white-space:normal' but again
it does not works on IE.
Thanks,
Nestor :-)

How to display current date in query header?

Hi,
How to display current date in query header?
I use Query Designer for development.
Thanks,
Arun KK

Hi Arun,
You can define fixed header lines and footer lines so that when you generate the query list, they can receive current values of certain fields. When you define a header line or a footer line, you must specify a character string of the type &field, where field is the short name of a field.
This function allows you (for example) to place a sort criterion in the header line.
You can include the following fields as variables in the headers directly:
%NAME
Name of the user processing the query
%DATE
Current date
%TIME
Current time
%PAGE
Current page number (6 characters)
%P
Current page number (3 characters)
These fields can be used in the short forms N,D,T and P. If you want to use these letters as short names for query fields, the field values from the query are used.
You can also see the link

Is it a bug?

Sorry for the huge chunk of code.
Mm, yes, I'm far too lazy to read all that.
But you should be overriding paintComponent(), not paint().

Display of data on as columns in a table

Hi All,
I have an application where the data from R/3 server is displayed on the table.
The different columns are:
1. Date 2. Volume 3. Price
the Volume is corresponding to the date mentioned. which is in past/or future.
I have to read the difference between current date and the column date in days. and multiply that with a price factor( to be read from the server ) and add it up with price on current day( to be read from server) and display it under the column "price".
there can be many rows with many different dates and different corresponding price factors.
Can some one tell me how to go about this.
Thanks in advance

Get frequent data for each column of a table

What is the best way to get the most frequent data in each column of a table.
we have around 25 tables and each table has around 20 columns , so rather than writing group by for each column of table , is there any easy way to find this?
example we have table
Column A       Column B         Column C
Apple             Monday             Red
orange            Tuesday            Green
Apple              Monday            Red
Lemon            Wednesday       Green
Apple               Thursday         Red
in this table, column A's frequnt data is Apple , column B's frequent data is Monday , Column C's frequnt data is Red
Apple 3          Monday 2                  Red 3
Orange 2        Tuesday 1                 Green 2
Lemon 1          Wednesday 1
                      Thursday 1
Group by kind of query will give this result, but with 20 tables each having 20 - 30 columns if we need similar kind of result .. is there any way to get this data.

Hi,
GROUP BY (using aggregate functions) is the best way to do what you described.
PIVOT and UNPIVOT are probably what you'd want in this case. The phrase "GROUP BY" may not actually appear in your code, but you'll essentially be doing a GROUP BY.
Analytic functions (rather than aggregate functions) can do the job, too, but they'll be less efficient. Analytic functions get you results about the groups, without losing each row's identify, but in this case, losing each row's identity is eactly what you want to do. You only want 'Apple' to appear 1 time, not 3 times.
The fact that you need to do the same query on 20 different tables suggests that there's something wrong with your table design. Wouldn't it be better to have 1 big table, with a new column that has 20 unique values instead?
I hope this answers your question.
If not, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved, so that the people who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
Simplify the problem as much as possible. For example, instead of posting a problem with 20 tables, each having 25 columns, post a similar problem involving, say, 2 tables, each with 3 columns.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).
