Limit a range of date in a prompt filter

Hi,
I'm trying to built a prompt filter which permit my users to prompt a range of date (ex starting date - ending date).
But I would like to limit the range to a maximum of 50 days (from the starting date to the ending date)
Is it possibile to do it (in WI or BO 6.5 Designer) and how?
Thank you in advance
Riccardo

Hi Riccardo,
There is an easy way to do that in universes.
You have to create an firstobject based on your date:
mytable.mydate
Then create a secondobject with the same definition and a where clause like this:
mytable.mydate BETWEEN @Prompt('1-Start Date','D','MyClass\MyObject',mono,constrained) AND @Prompt('2-End Date','D','MyClass\MyObject',mono,constrained)
The List of Values used in the prompt is based on the first objects you created.
Last, edit the list of values of the second object and in the query panel editor, click on the "Options" button and change the number of rows option to limit the returned result.
In attachment, you will find a universe based on Club database.
See the object "Invoice Date (50 rows max)" in "Sales" class that illustrates the purpose.
Regards,
Didier

How to set a date range for date field ?

Dear Experts,
Scenario:
I have a query in validating the date field in my BSP application. My application is for maintain infotype 0023 Other/Previous Employers online by employees in the company.
As per our design we are maintaining the all employment details of the employee both ( with in the current company / previous employment outside the company) in the same infotype.
Every employee will have a hiring date within the SAP HR system. We consider this date as the cutoff date between current and previous employment in our application. When the employee updating the details wia BSP page I need to check the following.
Record inside current company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) greater than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE(ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA).
Record outside current Company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) less than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE (ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA) and less than HIRING DATE.

Date Constant Dashboard Prompt

Hi,
I would like to know how would you go about creating a Date Constant prompt in Dashboard.
For example : User should be able to select 'LastMonth' or 'LastYear' or 'LastWeek' constant time frame and run a report.
Report query should translate those contant to dates in the prompt.
Example: if user selects 'LastMonth' teh date range shoudl be translating to query ( where DATE between '01/11/2008' and '31/11/2008' )
Thanks,
Kopii

Hi...
To select last month use repository variable Add_months(sysdate, -1) and give variable name. in the same way to.. other last week or last year also...
Now use this variable in writing logical SQL in dashboard prompt...
For second prompt use Logical SQL like,
select date from SA where month = (selected month in prev prompt)
Hope help you...
Try in this way..
Thanks & Regards

Passing date parameter from prompt

Hi experts
I am getting some problem while passing date from a dashboard prompt.
In RPD i have changed the date column properties as DATE only so that i will get the DATE part of the data not the time stamp.
Now in the dashboard prompt i added a prompt for the date column.
I initialized the date prompt with a server variable of sysdate
when i am running the dashboard i am getting default value in the prompt(04/15/2011)
when i am changing the date it is selected as(04/15/2011)
but when i am clicking the 'Go' button the date is converting to 2011-04-15 00:00:00 due to which my report is not running and i am getting error as
View Display Error
A date value was expected (received "2011-04-15 00:00:00").
Error Details
Error Codes: QABPH2PO
can anyone help me to pass only date part
thanks in advance
regards
Gourisankar

Hi J / Srikanth
Sorry to restart the thread again.
As we discussed i have downloaded the patch and applied to my windows 32 bit machine.
But now when i run the report the report is running only for the default value(Server Variable) which is specified to the prompt. when i change the date there is no effect to the report.
When i drill down to the report i found that the date column(is prompted) is changed to teh server variable name which is might be the cause.
any input on this???
regards

How to find a specific day in a range of dates

Hi !
Can someone help me with this
I would like to find if there is a Saturday in a range of dates:
ex: OpenDate:2012-01-19 to CurrentDate, should return 2012-01-21
      OpenDate 2012-01-23 to CurrentDate, should return null field
Thank you

Hi Diane,
You can use this formula to find a Saturday in a date range:
numbervar days := datediff("d",{Date_Field}, currentdate)+1;
numbervar x;
datevar array dates;
redim dates[days];
datevar sat;
for x := 1 to days do
    dates[x] := {Date_Field}+(x-1);
    if weekday(dates[x]) = 7 then
    datevar sat := dates[x];
sat;
Hope this helps!

Shared Data Source with prompted credentials - errors out.

Using Data Tools (VS 2010) to build report.
Have built a simple report while trying to diagnose this issue. This report is created in a project that was originally built in BIDS2008 and migrated to Data Tools 2010. This project contains an original shared dataset that does NOT
error out.
Report contains
     1) shared data source with properties set to prompted credentials.
     2) shared dataset using data source above
     3) 2 parameters (month and year)
     4) Report uses shared dataset
     5) 2 text boxes in the report body to display the parameters values.
When I try to preview this report I get the error:
     The execution failed for the shared data set "xxx"
     Cannot create a connection to data source 'Data source for shared dataset'
     Security processing failed with reason "3" ("password missing")
Now, if I changed that same shared dataset to use a static login and password; the report renders fine.
What is going on???

Hi RoseNeedsAVacation,
When you use shared data source with "Prompt for credential" option, please use SQL Server login credential to u view the report in BIDS or SSDT report designer environment.
Note: The shared data source will automatic switch to SQL Server authentication mode if we use "Prompt for credential" option.
After you deploy your report and shared data source to report server, please remember to configure your shared data source to use "Credentials supplied by the user running the report" option. Furthermore, select "Use
as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source" checkbox if the credentials that the user provides are Windows Authentication credentials. Do not select this check box if you are using database authentication (for example, SQL
Server Authentication).
For more information, please refer to the article below:

Select a range of data

Hi everyone,
I would like to know how to do to select a range of data (for example on a force/time graph during a jump landing (parable), from a certain value to another) to register it on a special file? I tried the module "separate" or "cut out" but I don't think they will be useful when you don't know when will appear the specifical value you're looking for...
Is it also possible in Dasylab to know the director coefficient of this type of curve (quite linear...)?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Perhaps...
Select the values in a block (y values) at given positions (y values).
Calculate the differences, and calculate the quotient.

Retrieving a range of data in office 2007

Hi All,
My company recently upgraded to Office 2007. We are using Hyperion 9.3. A few interactive users are facing this issue.
The issue seems to be with the 'Retrieving a range of data'.
In a worksheet the user is selecting a range of cells to restrict the data retrieval to the selected range. The unselected area of the sheet contains data not formatted to retrieval dissapears(hard coded number and the formula).
Under Options tried checking 'Display Unknown members' and 'Retain formula on retrieval'. Users wants to preserve hard coded numbers outside the retrieval area.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Jelan

Use the array subset in the array pallete. put your smallest number in the index and then subtract your smaller number from the bigger number and put this result in as the length input. The output will be an array starting with the smaller number and ending with your bigger number.

Using a range of dates for Key Date

In a HR Bi data warehouse, we have a position-to-position hierarchy, where each of the nodes are time dependent. So, it shows for each node, valid from and valid to dates, and all the employees who are reporting to that position. This hierarchy is built on the infoobject 0HRPOSITION, which is maintained in R/3 and extracted to BI.
Let us take an example: Position 1000 is valid from 1-1-2006 to 6-30-2006 Employees reporting to this position are A,B,C,D
Position 1000 is valid from 7-1-2006 to 12-31-9999 Employees reporting to this position are A,E,F,G
When a user chooses the position 1000, and date range 1-1-2006 to 12-31-2006, it show the complete list of employees as
A,B,C,D,E,F,G.
Because the Keydate can only be a single value, and it is automatically taking today's date, and pulling the nodes based on that.
I have created a hierarchy node variable on the 0HRPOSITION infoObject, and entered the value 1000, with no value for the keydate.
The system is simply showing employees, A,E,F and G. That is my problem
My requirement is this: I like to be able to give a date range, (for the hierarchy) say from 1-1-2006 to 12/31/2006 and get the complete list of Employees, which is A,B,C,D,E,F,G.
Is this possible? Can I change the way this hierarchy is defined so that I can pull the possible values for a range?

Thank you Ajay.
After some thinking, I have realized that these options will not work.
We have a position-to-position hierarchy that shows who reports to who in the organization. This hierarchy is built on the Infoobject 0HRPOSITION. Each node in this hierarchy has is time-dependent. Note that, the entire hierarchy is not timedependent. Only the individual position nodes are time-dependent.
This 0HRPOSITION infoobject exists in the Heacount cube as one of the characteristics. Here is my requirement.
1. I want to show in a report, all the employees (directly or indirectly) reporting to a manager for a period of say, 1 year?
I know that I can specify a key date for the hierarchy 0HRPOSITION, then the report will show all the employees (direct and indirect) reporting to a position say 6/30/2008. I don't want this for a specific date, I want to get ALL the employees (direct and indirect) reporting to a position in a range of dates( say 1 year)
Does that make sense? How do we achieve this goal?

How to check the sales order that has been PGI from a range of dates.

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a query on how can I check the sales order that has been PGI from a range of dates in SAP?
Thanks,
Madelyn

Dear Madelyn
Go to VA05, give the date range and execute. List of sale orders will be generated. There you can see a tab "Status" in which, the status would be like
- Not delivered
- Partially delivered
So based on this, you can decide whether the order is still open or completed.
thanks

Passing a range of dates from Visual Composer 7.0 to Bex Analyzer

Dear Experts,
         I created a button in my Visual Composer model that has the following settings:
System action: Hyperlink
Apply to: Self
Hyperlink address: "...QUERY=BMMSEG_C01_SAS_Q0001&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE&BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC=MBUDAT&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING=08/22/2006;08/28/2006"
        Basically, what I need is to pass a range of dates from Visual Composer to Bex Analyzer on the characteristic "MBUDAT". However, it only brings back the data with those specific dates, not the range.
      I don't think this is the correct syntax to pass in a range value: 08/22/2006;08/28/2006 Please advise how should I do it.
Thank you in advance,
Kevin

Hi J GOEL,
       Thank you for your quick response. I created a date range variable ZPSTDAT, and then I passed in the oncatenated value to my Bex query (for this example, let says the From date is 08/22/2006, and the To date is 08/28/2006 ).
      Here's what I passed in into the url:
...QUERY= BMMSEG_C01_SAS_Q0001
&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE
&BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC= ZPSTDAT
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING= 08/22/2006:08/28/2006
   However, it returns all the records, so it seems like it doesn't even accept the range value that I passed into the Bex. Do you mind to please show me the url you have that pass in the date range. I just need to see the date range part, not the entire url.
Thanks,
Kevin

Select Range of dates

Hello,
is it possible to use the <cfinput datefield> or the <cfcalendar> to allow users to select multiple range of dates.
EG User wants to select some days in June, July and August.

The cfcalendar only allows for blocking of range of Dates and not for multiple selection of dates.
My client would want to select multiple dates like July 14, 17,25 Aug 25,26,28 at one shot from the calendar
