Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to default the value of a parameter to current year. i see a sysdate() for current date i am looking for something similar.
Thanks
Vijay

Yes, you can; please look at this example
You can play around with these functions to add/subtract date/month/year
To extract day or month or year- use Date format string dd for day, MM for month and yyyy for year

Parameter for current year and previous year

Hi all,
I currently have 2 reports where the query is the same except in the where clause I have it filtered to current year and previous year based on the List_Date. I would like to make this one report with a parameter of Current or Previous year.
Would I create 2 more datasets one for current and another for previous? I would think there is a easier way. Any help or direction would be great.

If you define a parameter in SSRS, you can use it's value in your query. Just make sure the parameter name, and CASE (SSRS is case sensitive when it comes to parameters) are the same in SSRS and your query. There's a parameter tab on the dataset properties.
It SHOULD auto fill, but it never hurts to check, just in case.
Don't forget to mark helpful posts, and answers. It helps others to find relevant posts to the same question.
Yes it did auto fill the parameter tab in the dataset and I get a parameter to enter the year when I preview the report. Still a little confused on how I do current or previous year. Are the next steps what I need to do?
@yearParam parameter:
1) Create Available or Default values
2) Current and Previous year as label
3) For Value do I need to use a expression for current year =Year(now()) and previous Year?
4) Add a filter on the tablix for list_date?

Default Date parameter to current date

Using Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.1.0.892
I have a Stored Procedure for the report that among others requires a StartDate and EndDate parameter.
It appears that I can not easily/simply set the default for this parameters to the current date.
In the properties dialog for the parameter the Default value appears to be just a text field. I can type in a value, but I can not make it always have the current date selected.
This report also has an End Date that we would like to have default to the current date(no time) plus one day.
We can do this using Reporting services, but I can not find a way to do this as easily in crystal reports. What am I missing?
Thanks

Well here's a little quick tip for reports have to be scheduled and require date parameters. I've used this on lots of reports...
For the bulk of our scheduled reports, the user typically wants to see data for either the current month or the previous month. For example management may want a production report scheduled to run at the end of every week for the current month so that they can track month to date progress. They will also want the same report run on the 1st of the month for the previous month so that they have a final monthly total.
Here's how I do it with just one report...
1) Create a text parameter called {?DateRange}
2) Give it 2 static LOVs... Current Month & Previous Month
3) Build out the SQL Command (I use a lot of them... Most of our vendors aren't nutty about clients adding SPs to their DBs)
4) Drop in the following block of code at the top of the SQL Command...
DECLARE @DateRange CHAR(15)
DECLARE @BEG DateTime, @END DateTime
SET @DateRange = '{?DateRange}';
IF @DateRange = 'Current Month' SET @BEG = DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE()),0)
ELSE SET @BEG = DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE())-1,0);
IF @DateRange = 'Current Month' SET @END = DATEADD(ms,-5,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE())+1, 0))
ELSE SET @END = DATEADD(ms,-5,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE()), 0));
5) Modify the WHERE clause of the SQL to pull dates between @BEG AND @END
6) Add the DateRange parameter in the Parameter List of the Command.
At this point the user has just 2 date range options... Current Month & Previous Month.
From there you can upload to the CR Server and schedule it.

Getting Start and End Date of Current Year?

Hi Folks,
How do I get the start of the year and end of the year in Java ?
If I say :
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
int day = cal.get(Calendar.DATE);
int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
System.out.println("Day: " + day);
System.out.println("Month: " + month);
System.out.println("Year: " + year);
I get the current day and time.What I need is the start of the current Year (Jan 2010) and the End of the Current Year (Dec 2010).
How can get the above 2 dates if I the current date is March 24th 2010 ?
Thanks

What am I missing? The start date of 2010 is 1/1/2010 and the end data is 31/12/2010 . So, as I see it, at any time the only information you need is the current year which you currently get from int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
Well, with the GregorianCalendar, anyway. ;-)

How to set as default current year & period in variant

Hi SAP Guru,
Can anyone help me on how to set as default the current year and period in variant. I want to do a background job for our program using save variants. But I need the period and year to always be assigned what ever is the current year and period.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Daboi

- Create variables for variants: use transaction STVARV. You should create one variable for fiscal year with type 'parameter', one for period with type 'parameter', one for fiscal year 'select option' and one for period 'select option'.
- when saving your variants for the different programs, fill the checkbox 'Selection variables' in the attributes for fiscal year and period; use the button 'selection variables' for choosing the variables created in STVARV.
- When closing the period, you should use STVARV for changing the variables. All the variant using the variant variables will then automaticaly use the new value.

Dynamic default for parameter

Hi
Is it possible to have a default for report parameter that depending on the date.
For instance our customers need now to enter a Begin and Start date to display their data for a particular range.
Wish: When the parameter screen pops up the Start date and the End date are already filled in by default. In the start parameter i want the monday of 1st week of the year. In the end parameter i want the friday of the current week.
Is this possible? Need the date range parameter be of type date, or is String also allowed?
Thanks in advance
Auke Quist.

Hi Auke,
To give parameter default values, we will have two methods, this is either enter values directly or pickup the values from a database field. As per your requirement, we can't define default values to start and end paramenters.
If you are using CR2008 then you have an optional parameter option, using this option we can check with Hasvalue() function whether the user entered values or not.
In your case we can write a formula if Hasvalues(ParameterValues) is empty then assign first week of the year to start and last week friday to end parameters in recored selection and filter the data.
Please note that att any point of time you can't assign formula results to your parameter default values.
Thanks,
Sastry

Do I need to check "READONLY" parameter in BBP_SC_AUTO_RETRANSFER report?

Hi Gurús,
I applied SAP Note 1499352 - SRM Transfer: Redesign, bug fixes (and all its correction notes).
The new BBP_SC_AUTO_RETRANSFER report is needed to scheduled with a job.
The report has three parameters:
ADD_TIME (Hours since last "changed at") - default value 48
ADDTIME2 (Timeout hours) - default value 24
READONLY (Read only, no Updates) - checked by default
But I don't know if READONLY must be checked in job scheduled.
My system is:
Component software: SRM_SERVER
Release: 700
Level: 8
Support package: SAPKIBKV08
I'm using extended classic scenario.

The parameter was unchecked to save changes in database.

FSG - Need to find beginning balance value from current year

Hi,
Could any one help me please,
i designed FSG report and the issue is we need to find the beginning balance form the current year
and i do not know which amount type i should use in column set.
maybe there is any way or workaround for this issue?
example :
when i run the report with parameter JUN-12, the XXX (beginning balance current year) = 5000
and when i run the report with parameter SEP-12, the XXX (beginning balance current year) is still 5000
thanks

This is some of the worst SQL I have seen. The data element names change from table to table, and they violate ISO-11179 rules. We seldom use OUTER JOINs in a properly designed schema, we seldom need to worry about NULLs; we use COALESCE(), not ISNULL();
we use CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, not getdate(), etc.
Did you know that nesting scalar subqueries will screw any hope of optimization? The changes in the formatting of program text implies that many different, inexperienced younger programmers who wrote in many different non-SQL languages. You even posted in colors,
like grade school!
My guess is that everyone wrote a query without any planning, and then threw them together in one pile.
It seems that this nightmare has three tables and we have no DDL or other specs:
Stock
Stock_Lead_Times
Traces
Want to follow Netiquette and post DDL with some specs?

SSRS Matrix report. Variance expression by Month. Need to compare month from prior year to current month of current year VS2010

Please help. I have a matrix report. In the report I have row group PO Type. One the Column groups I have a parent group by Fiscal Year, and then a child group by Month. When I run the report, I get two years of data back broken
out by month. Please see below.
Now here is where I am getting stuck. I need to take the variance between the current month of the current year, from the same month of the prior year. So I need to show the difference between Oct , 2014 from Oct, 2013. November, 2014 from November
2013... etc. etc.
In the example below, how do I create a column or row showing the variance for Contracts for October 2014. I need to take the contracts for October 2014 which is 3 and subtract that from October 2013 which is 8. Any suggestions? How do I do that
for each month? Then I need to do it for the quarter... then the year? But I'll be happy if I can just get the month working first.
Any help will be appreciated.
here is what my rdl file looks like.
Here is what my report looks like when I render it.

Hi Adrian_s2012,
According to your description, you want to compare values for the month of current year with the month of prior year and get the variance. Right?
In Reporting Services, we don't have any function to get this "Year to Year" Growth. In this scenario, if you data source is a cube, we suggest you use Analysis Services to achieve your requirement. If this data source is just from database, it will be hardly
to calculate the variance because we need to compare the values within every two different column group and matrix generate adjacent columns one by one. Even we make it by using custom, every time executing the long code when generating result
in a cell will reduce a lot of performance, we really don't suggest to do that in SSRS. Here is a thread with much easier requirement, please take a reference of that:

Parameter for Current Month and Previous Month

I'm trying to create a parameter for current month and previous month based on the ex_date, but not sure what i'm doing wrong.
where ex_date = @SelectDate
I created a second dataset below for the values in the parameters.
SELECT Month(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) AS 'Month', 'Current Month' as 'Current Month'
union all
SELECT Month(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)-1 AS Month, 'Previous Month' as 'Previous Month'
Results
Month Current Month
3 Current Month
2 Previous Month
Once I preview it I get "Conversion failed when converting date and/ or time from character string" I changed the data type to "date/Time" but that did not make a difference. The date is convert (varchar(10), ex_date, 101) so looks like
11/12/2014.
I've also tried expressions like =month(now()) to pull current month with same error so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Any ideas?

i tired this real simple report
in the first dataset - my main report query - select name from sysdatabases where month(crdate())=@month
in the second dataset - select month(getdate()) as Month1
in the parameters - choose int data type and available values - select the second data set
in the first data set- add this parameter..( i am assumming you know this, since you have done)
in the preview you should get the drop down with current month number - 3
and if you run the report, it will display the database names that were created in march. remember we are no checking year, so will get all that were created in march across the years.
Hope it Helps!!
I'm looking to have the dropdown say "Previous Month" and "Current Month" as a option. I know how to get the information in SQL, but not sure how this translates or put into a parameter.
Current Month
list_date BETWEEN
DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
AND
DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()) + 1, 0)
Previous Month
list_date between
CONVERT(varchar,dateadd(d,-(day(dateadd(m,-1,getdate()-2))),dateadd(m,-1,getdate()-1)),106) /* Last Month */
and
CONVERT(varchar,dateadd(d,-(day(getdate())),getdate()),106)
