I want to accumulate rain for the day, month and year; What formula can I use?

I want to accumulate rain for the day, month and year; What formula or expression can I use.
I am using a Rain Wise product that converts pulses to an analog value. The Rain Wise device can be
set to measure up to 1", 5", or 10". I will be setting the unit to 10 inches in increments of 0.01 inches.
What I would like to do is everytime the signal increments I would like to count it as 0.01 then after reaching
a period of time whether it be a day or a month reset back to zero.
Need some advise on this problem.
Solved!

Hello Ryan,
Lookout gets a Modbus over Ethernet signal which originates as a 4-20mA input to a Moxa Ethernet I/O Module (E1240) in the field. In Lookout I created a ModbusEthernet Driver and a tag which scales 0 - 65534 RAW to 0-10 Eng. [0 - 10 is inches of rain] Also, another piece of information is that after the rain gauge maxes out at 10 inches it will zero out and start over.
I though the accumulator was time based and took a sample over a specific time period, for instance, one sample every 30 seconds then accumulate. If this is so then if I have 5 inches of rain and then it stopped raining, then 30 seconds latter it would sample, it would see 5 inches and add that to be 10 inches when actually it had only rained 5 inches.
I really need some help with this process,

Find the difference between two dates for the specific month and year

Hi,
I have two dates, start date is 30/12/2012 and end date is 04/01/2013. Using datediff I found the difference of days between two dates. But I find the no of days in January 2013. ie output is 4 instead of 6. I input month and year to find the no of days
for that date. In this case I input Jan 2013. How can I sql this ?

I don't understand how most of the answers provided here not analytically solving the problem with many cases possible.
First let me understand you:
You have 2 dates range and you want to calculate day range for specific month and year between the original date range.
declare @for_month int = 1 --January
declare @for_year int = 2013
declare @StartDate date = '2012-12-20'
declare @EndDate date = '2013-01-04'
SELECT
CASE
WHEN (DATEPART(MONTH, @StartDate) = @for_month and DATEPART(MONTH, @EndDate) = @for_month) and ((DATEPART(YEAR, @StartDate) = @for_year or DATEPART(YEAR, @EndDate) = @for_year)) THEN
DATEDIFF(DAY, @StartDate,@EndDate)
WHEN (@StartDate < cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) and (@EndDate between (cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) and (cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date))) THEN
DATEDIFF(DAY, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, -1, @EndDate)-1, 0),@EndDate)
WHEN (@EndDate > cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date)) and (@StartDate between (cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) and (cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date))) THEN
DATEDIFF(DAY, @StartDate,DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, @StartDate) + 1, 0))) + 1
WHEN ((DATEDIFF(DAY, @StartDate, cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date)) >= 0) and (DATEDIFF(DAY, cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date), @EndDate) >= 0)) THEN
DATEDIFF(DAY, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as datetime), DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as datetime)) + 1, 0))) + 1
ELSE
0
END as [DD]
I don't know how you calculate day range between 01/01/2013 and 04/01/2013
is 4, it is actually is 3 but if that is the case, you can add 1 from the condition.

TO GET WEEKS for a given MONTH AND YEAR

Is there any FM to get the no of weeks for a given month, say 01 2005.
Can i get the week numbers say 1 2 3 4 5 for the given month and year.
Please let me know.
Happy Holidays.
Regards,
Manohar E

Hi Manohar,
Use FM DATE_GET_WEEK twice; first time pass first day of the month and again pass the last day of the month as a parameter. So u will be having week number(yyyyxx) for the first week of the month and week number for the last week of the month. From these two, in between week numbers u can easily fetch. I hope this will help u out.

Creation of a Query to show the values for the current month and the last 12 months data.

Dear All,
Good day!
I have to create a Query with the below requirement.
I have to create a Query to show the values for the current month and the last 12 months data.
Can you please guide me how to achieve this ??
thank you,
Regards,
Hema

Hema
explain the exact problem..? as you mentioned you want to create query to show values for current month and last 12 months.. so I think you want to show values for 12 months from current data.. you can achive this by multiple way..
you can have selection screen and field with date .. and restrict based on system current date and 12 months before or you can handle this at your target.. .. I mean there are multiple ways to restrict data by date range..
for some more hints..

Is there a way to change the date format so that delegates have to choose a day, month and year from a drop down menu as my delegates keep forgetting to change the year of their information

When my delegates are filling in a event form i have put together, a large number of them forget to change either the month or year on the date field. Is there a way to have a date field that has drop down boxes for day, month and year so they have to choose rather than a date been already on the screen??
Thanks

Hi Christopher,
The WEEKDAY function allows specifying either Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week:
WEEKDAY
The WEEKDAY function returns a number that is the day of the week for a given date. WEEKDAY(date, first-day)
Â date: The date the function should use. date is a date/time value. The time portion is ignored by this function.
Â first-day: An optional value that specifies how days are numbered.
Sunday is 1 (1 or omitted): Sunday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Saturday is day 7.
Monday is 1 (2): Monday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Sunday is day 7. Monday is 0 (3): Monday is the first day (day 0) of the week and Sunday is day 6.
But I think you are referring to the first day of the 'workweek', for which I do not see a means of defining a custom value.
Since you want to 'insert categories', though, you could easily define your own, using WEEKDAY(date) or WEEKDAY(date,1), plus an IF statement to return the category label appropriate to the day. Here's one for a Sunday to Thursday work week. Dates are in column A, the formula is in whichever column you want as the Category column. For the example, I've placed it in column B.
B2, and filled down: =IF(WEEKDAY(A)<6,"Work","Off")
The top table shows the weekday numbers returned for each day of the week for each of the three permitted values for the optional second argument. The bottom table shows the results from the formula above, used to define a category label for each date:
A10 was left blank intentionally, to determine if the lack of data resulted in an error. The Warning message, flagged by the blue 'warning' triangle, is "The formula uses a number in place of a date." The 'date' assigned to this numerical value of zero was a Friday, but I'm not certain when. Probably best to avoid extra rows with no date shown.

If all you are trying to do is buy music, you can easily buy MP3s at any online music download store (e.g. amazon.com) and add them to your iTunes library.

DRQ: Isolate the Daily, Monthly and Yearly CheckBoxes in Selection Criteria

Module: Financials => Financial Reports => Accounting => General Ledger
Request to Isolate the Daily, Monthly and Yearly Check Boxes in the General Ledger - Selection Criteria screen, instead of an option in the report window.
Problem: If there is BP/General Ledger having long transaction list, then once user un-check any of the check boxes system takes long time to remove/hide those rows which contains Totals. Which is effecting the performance of the report also. Also those checkboxes appeared with check marked by default.
If user has an option in the selection criteria screen, then they can choose which Total they want before previewing the report and mark accordingly.

Hi OVlad,
Actually this forum is to discuss VS IDE, so I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum.
In addition, the specific language development forum are discuss the issues when you develop apps, so if you want to develop an app or you want to get the whole demo, I’m afraid that it is out support the language development forum, but if you get any code
issues when you create the app, you could post this issue to these forums like the C# forum here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=csharpgeneral
Anyway, since it is not the VS IDE issue, I will move this thread to the off-topic forum. Thanks for your cooperation.
Best Regards,
We are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time. Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.
