ICal - How do I create a Last Day of the Month event?

The old trick to change .ics file with RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=1;BYMONTHDAY=-1 does not work in iCal 4.0.4.
How would I do it now?

Thank you so much, captfred, for your quick reply!
You are absolutely right that this option is now available in iCal. I am ashamed that I was not aware of it.
Also, I had misunderstood the instructions on https://discussions.apple.com/message/9044726?messageID=9044726. In fact, if I follow the instructions correctly, the old trick still works. Of course, it is a moot point now because, as you pointed out, it can be done in the usual GUI.
Thanks again!

ICal 3.0: Last day of the month repeating event

I am migrating back to iCal after a few years using Entourage. I am trying to set up calendar events and reminders for the last day of every month, but I can't figure out how to do it. In Entourage this was easy. Any advice? Thank you.

I would like this to be an easy feature included in iCal as I get paid on the 16 and second to last day of the month. I want iCal to show the event in the calendar, not for me to set the event and have an alarm for 24 hours before. I tried the trick found at http://www.macworld.com/article/47872/2005/11/trickical.html but that does not work with iCal 3.0.
Any help would be appreciated or maybe Apple adding this in the repeating section of the ical event seeing it is apart of the icalendar specification.

BIP eBusiness Suite Dates - How to include the last day of the month?

How can I get my report to include the last day of the month 'without' forcing my users to enter the non-intuitive first of the next month as a parm?
I have a report that will generally be run for a month but can be run for any pair of dates representing the first and last date to be included in the report.
When we pass the dates from Oracle Apps to the report it is truncating the date to midnight. This results in the last date entered 'NOT' being included in the report as the second date is marked as "midnight". When I attempt to simply add "=1" to the end date it fails due to formatting issues in apps (only). I have gotten this to work on our Enterprise edition server that we use for testing (only) but it fails in our apps environment.
In APPs we input the date in the format "01-AUG-2007", and this is how it shows in the parm line before the report is submitted as well as in the "View Details" after the report is executed: http://home.swbell.net/grog1//work/req_details_5607586.jpg
However it is odd in that we in the "View Log" entry it shows the date formatted as "2007/08/01 00:00:00": http://home.swbell.net/grog1/work/view_log_5607586.jpg
Even odder is that under diagnostics, "View XML" the date is formatted third way as: "2007/08/01 00:00:00.0" (note it now includes tenths of a second): http://home.swbell.net/grog1/work/view_xml_5607586.jpg
This of course makes it difficult to perform conversions and calculations on the date in the SQL.
Is APPs doing some sort of 'timestamp' conversion?
How can I get my report to include the last day of the month 'without' forcing my users to enter the non-intuitive first of the next month as a parm?
Any feedback is appreciated,
Scott

No. The problem/error occurs long before the data is formatted into xml for presentation to the format template.
The error occurs in the SQL in the 'data' template when I attempt to add a day to the date. It either does not like the implicit conversion with the "+1" and then the use of the "between" with another date or if I attempt to manually convert it has problems with the format mask.

Object date - how to get the last day of the month?

hi all,
I have a date object in which I would like to get the last day of the month. any idea?
eg AUG=31
Feb = 28 (depends if a leap year)
thanks

Use java.util.Calendar
Add 1 month to the day.
Set the day of month to be 1.
Subtract 1 day.
Now you are on the last day of the month you wanted.

Display a metric differently only on last day of the month.

Have a Daily transaction fact where unit cost of product is stored at a day/part num /business unit level.
When we drag and drop date column and unit cost in the report like below we will have
Date      cost
Sep29     $10
sep30     $12
Oct1       $12
Oct2       $14
..........ans so on
The source sustem program runs on last day of the month around 8pm for setting up cost to reflect on 1st of every month
But the nighly OBI load ( Runs at 2am every day) when incrementally updating Sep30 data picks up $12 from the erp and populates in OBI.
But actually speaking, on Sep30 the cost was $10.
There is no way of running the ERP program to run afer OBI load. Hence we need an expression in the RPD (not answers) saying
when last day of the month (any month) the standard cost must be a previous day value.All other days the same value should be returned.
Is this possible without impacting report performance ?
So, when we drag and drop date and cost value the above report should change as
Date        Cost
sep29     $10
sep30     $10
Oct1       $12
Oct2       $14
Oct30     $12.5
Oct31     $12.5
Nov1      $13.5

You can achieve the above requirement for current month alone with below steps:
The solution requires to have a union report
First part of the report will have Date and Cost fields with a report level date filter, Date NOT IN (TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , -(1), TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_MONTH , 1, TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , DAYOFMONTH( CURRENT_DATE) * -(1) + 1, CURRENT_DATE))))
Second part of the report will have Date and Cost fields with a report level date filter Date IN (TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , -(1), TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_MONTH , 1, TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , DAYOFMONTH( CURRENT_DATE) * -(1) + 1, CURRENT_DATE))))In the second part of the report,
Change the column formula for Date to display only Current_Date
Change the column formula for Cost field with FILTER(Cost USING Date = Current_Date-1)
Pls mark if correct/helpful.

SQL select Statement -first day and last day of the month - 1 year from now

Hi,
I need to write a SQL to get the dates in between first day and last day of the month one year from now.
SELECT last_day(add_months(sysdate,12)) as lastday from dual
What could be the Query to get the first day of the month one year from now..
ie ..Sysdate - 3-DEC-2009
Result - 1-DEC-2010
thank you

Hi,
You can use TRUNC with 2 arguments to get the first DATE in a month, year, quarter, week, hour, minute, ISO year, ...
SELECT TRUNC ( ADD_MONTHS ( SYSDATE
 , 12
 , 'MONTH'
 ) AS first_of_month
FROM dual
;The DATE returned will be in the same month, year, quearter, ... as the first argument.
\We convered the last day of the month in [your previous question|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3942939#3942939].
At that time, I warded about using LAST_DAY as a cutoff point; TRUNC is a much better way.
For example, to find all appointment_dates in the current month next year:
SELECT *
FROM appointments
WHERE appointment_date >= TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, 12), 'MONTH')
AND appointment_date < TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, 13), 'MONTH')Note that
the first part of the WHERE clause calls for dates on or equal to the beginning of the 12th month in the future, but
the second part of the WHERE clause calls for dates before, not equal to , the beginning of the 13th month in the future.

The last day of the month when the report is run

How do I set a recurring event for the last day of the month on iphone 4s calendar?

I want to set a recurring event for the last day of every month - regardless of the date/number of days in the month. I'd prefer not to have to use an app to do this.

Hi,
You can do this using the custom repeat in iCal. You'll need two events to cover the second and fourth Mondays.
Create the event on the second Monday of the month. In Repeat select Custom... > Frequency: Monthly > On the: second Monday.
Do the same for the Fourth Monday.
Best wishes

How to find first and last day of previous month?.

Based on current month, I want to find start and end day of
previous month.
For example,
For august, Start date is July 1st and End date July 31st.
How can i get first of previous month as start date and last
day of the previous month as end date?.
Same way,
i want to find start date of current month and end date of
next month.
Example:
For august,
i want to get start date, august 1st and end date : september
30.
How can i do this from current date or now().
I am looking for best and easy way to find start and end
dates..
Thanks

<cfset today = now()>
<cfset firstOfThisMonth = createDate(year(today),
month(today), 1)>
<cfset lastOfNextMonth = dateAdd("d", -1, dateAdd("m", 2,
firstOfThisMonth))>
<cfoutput>
today = #today# 
firstOfThisMonth = #firstOfThisMonth# 
lastOfNextMonth = #lastOfNextMonth# 
</cfoutput>
Edit - To find the start and end day of previous month, get
the first of THIS month. Use Subtract 1 month ("m") to get the
start date. Subtract 1 day ("d") to get the end date.

Month end accrual posting date- Last day of the month

Hi Experts,
I have set up month end accruals for PY US by configuring posting dates, LDCD, WageType accrual processing class, Schema changes. I have also set the closing dates as the end of the month.
Now after I do the posting , there are three documents getting generated.
1. Accrual posting document with first day of the current month
2. Normal Payroll posting document with payroll period posting date
3. Accrual reversal document with first day of the following month.
My Question is: As per standard SAP configuration, the month end accrual will have first day of the month. Can we customize this to end of the month for doc#1 - accrual document?
Please do let me know your suggestion and ideas.
Thanks,
Amosha

Hello,
I have a similar question and I hope to have more details on how to change the posting date.
The point is that I have an amount of 1200 and I have to post 100 for each month.
Key Date for Accruals: 31.01.2011
I posted 100 with Document date: 31.01.2011 and Posting date 31.01.2011
Key Date for Accruals: 28.01.2011
I posted 200 with Document date: 28.02.2011 and Posting date 28.02.2011
Also I reversed the amount posted in the previous month (100) with Document date: 31.01.2011 Posting date 28.02.2011
And so on...
The problem are the dates because I need to post the amount at the end of each month (28/02) and to reverse the previous amount at the beginning of the next month (01/02).
How can I change these dates?
Thanks a lot in advance
Kind Regards,
E.

Day must be between 1 and last day of the month

Hi
I have a master detail form .
Master Block contain emp_no,name,month etc.
Detail block contain a date field(format mask 'dd'),a day field(the day on that day)
and working hours detail of each day.
when i enter the date in detail block it defaults the month from system date and i can not enter 31 for the month of march if system date is April.
The form is going to reside on server so i cant go for changing system date for that.What i am looking for is the detail block should get the month from the month field present in master block.For eg if i enter 3 in month field on master block the detail block date field should allow me to enter 1 to 31. if i enter 2 in month field on master block the detail block date field should allow me to enter 1 to 28.and so on. can any body help in this regard.

The effective_date only effects the $$ variables such as $$DBDATE$$ but the form uses a different date to complete the partial entry. You can see this if you reset the system time:
ALTER SYSTEM SET fixed_date = '2007-01-01-00:00:00';
and set a date item's initial value to $$DBDATE$$ (and use a full format mask).
With this setting your method still uses the current month.
I don't know what forms uses to populate the date from a partial entry but you could solve your problem by creating a new item for the entry of the day, hide the existing item and populate it in the when-validate trigger of the new item, eg
:block.proper_date_field := to_date(:block.dummy_date_field||:master_block.month||<year>,'DDMMYYYY');
Then you just need to trap the exception if an invalid date is entered.
(and populate the dummy date field in post-query of course).
For forms 10g, and 6i too I think, the post-change trigger is deprecated. Use when-validate-item for this.

How to create appointment occurs last day of each month

Hi Preston,
I am trying to create a monthly recurring appointment occurs on last day of every month in .Net. E.g. start at May 31, 2010 end at May 31 2011 every month.
I specified the frequency as monthly, byMonthDay[0] = (sbyte)31. But this only generates the instances on those months contain the 31th day. My question is how to also create instances on 30th day for those months don't contain the 31th day.
Thanks,
John

The recurrence rule logic is patterned after the recurrence
logic in iCalendar (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt)
If you have questions, first look there. Then look at the
schema itself.
In the schema the definition of DayOfMonth will handle
negative numbers:
<xs:simpleType name="DayOfMonth">
<xs:restriction base="xs:byte">
<xs:minInclusive value="-31"/>
<xs:maxInclusive value="31"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:complexType name="DayOfMonthList">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="day" type="tns:DayOfMonth" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
So, the last day of the month would be -1. The second
to last day would be -2 and so on.

How to create a recurrent event on the first or last work day of the month

The lightning calendar allows selection of the first and last day of the month for recurrent events but for business I need to use the first and last WORK day of the month (Monday - Friday) to schedule particular tasks. In the calendar preferences under 'View' I can select the days that make up the work week but this does not transfer to an option in recurrent events. Is there another way to do this or is it just not available?

Hi there,
do know for the UlltimateBootCD4Win? This from CD bootable WinXP-BartPEedition with additional tools gives you the ability to make such things like partitioning, backup or formatting your HDD.
It has many more applications which help you to maintain your system without booting your original OS.
So I think that this CD will solve your partitioning issues.
Heres a link: www.ubcd4win.com/
Just try it and tell me your opinion.
Nice weekend and greetings from the sunny south ;)
