Period number to be displayed as month name

Hi,
I have Fiscal year/Period defined in the column section of the BW query. Currently the column will be displayed for example: Period 01, 2009, Period 02 2009 and etc. Our users are asking to display the month name instead of the Period#. Is it something can be handled within the query definition (or) via the BW query user exit.
Thanks in advance for any response.

Hi Venugopal,
Fiscal period is not always the same as calmonth.
For eg - In India, you have April as the 1st fiscal period of this year.
Hence, it does not make sense to have month names for fiscal period.
Also in FICO you may have special periods..ie periods after period 12.( eg period 13 to 16) you wont be able to map them to a particular month in some cases.
If you want to display month name in your column selections, use 0calmonth object with text display.
However, this would mean you are view a dataset as per calmonth and not as per fiscal period.
Check if this is acceptable for your business requirement.
Lastly, you can always have a formula, to check the value and put texts instead.
( if fiscal period is 02/2009 then month is feb ..(based on the country).
Hope it helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Outlook 2010 Calendar - Number of weeks displayed in Month view

Is there any way to change the default number of weeks (6) that are displayed in the Month view? On wide screens it leaves very few lines able to be viewed per day. I know I can change the number temporarily by highlighting the number
of weeks I want in the smaller month view in the To-Do Bar, but that view doesn't persist. I also know that I can minimize the ribbon.
I my old Outlook 2003 the default was 5 weeks which was at least a bit better.

The real answer is given: No, this is not configurable as it depends on how many weeks a month spans; rarely this is 4 weeks, most often this is 5 weeks, sometimes this is 6 weeks. It is called the "'Month" view, not the "4-weeks view" or anything like
that.
Your feature request is of course valid and to submit it as such, it is best to contact Microsoft Support by phone. You may need to provide credit card information to open a case but it of course won't be charged for a feature request. You'll get a reference
ID so you can track the status of your request.
You may want to refine your request with a business case as well and give a clear example of what you want it to look like and what exactly should be configurable.
For instance, the default Multi-Week View should show; last week, this week and the next 2 weeks.

Month and Year has to Display as month name and Year

Hi,
For Fiscal year/period, report displays like for example 004.2007 instead of July 2007
I would like to see the reports as July 2007 ( not to display as 004.2007)..
Our financial year is April to March.
Help will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks

Hi venkat,
i could suggest something as follow:
Say for e.g. your report wants to display following way...
jan feb march.........dece.
net quantity----
char1..........x.x.x.x.x..x...x...x.
char2..........x.x.x.x.x..x...x...x.
Now what you can do is ...create restricted key figure 12 times...
Now in each restriction bring in Net quantity....
for 1st restriction edit the restriction. bring in Calendar month and restrict it to January.
then in Description of that key figure put January.......
Save and come out...
Copy that first restricted key figure and copy it 11 times........
Now go in each restricted key figure and change the restriction of calendar month by Feb , march and so on.........(Also change the description to feb. march and so on)
Now in each description include Text variable whose replacement path is Fiscal year...
In bex properties,,, make the setting SUPRRESS ZERO VALUE DISPLAY...
With this, what you can do is lets say your user just want the display of Jan to march or something similar, so whatever empty box will be created will not display.....
You will achieve the result as Jan 2006 and so on........
Hope this helps.

Anybody know how to just display month-name for a date?

Hi, just displaying the month name seems not be among the available date formats. In the Inspector, under Date/Time formats, "April-08" is the closest available format. D'oh!

philonius,
You may have to resort to the CHOOSE function,
=CHOOSE(MONTH(Date),"January","February", ... ,"November","December")

Grouped by Month Name. How do I sort it correctly?

I have a report grouped by a field name that contains only the names of the month (ie. January, February, etc).
When displayed on the report, it'll sort the groups alphabetically (ie. April, then August, then December).
Is there any way to have these group be sorted in the actual month sequence?

Group on this formula:
month ()
This will group numerically 1 through 12.
Then simply DISPLAY the month name in your group header using this formula:
MONTHNAME ()

Sorting a Crosstab by "GL Period Number" but Showing "GL Period Name"

We are trying to create a report that has "GL Period Name" (JAN-09, FEB-09, MAR-09") across the top but the report sorts them by Alpha giving us:
FEB-09, JAN-09, MAR-09
We are even trying to use "GL Period Number" to get the Numeric order but to not want to display it.

Hi Chris
You need to create an alternate sort for the Period Name using the Numeric order as the alternate.
You do this in the Admininstrator tool by creating a list of values for the Period Name, perhaps against a Custom SQL folder, and then assigning the LOV to the GL Period Name by editing the Property called Item Class.
In Custom SQL you can use something like this:
SELECT DISTINCT PERIOD_NAME
FROM
table_with_period
ORDER BY
numeric_value
You create an Item Class (aka list of values) on the PERIOD_NAME in this folder. When creating the item class make sure you uncheck the box which says Sort and remove duplicates. This is already being done by the Custom SQL.
With the Item Class built, go to the GL_PERIOD_NAME, right-click on it and select Properties.
Look for the Item Class property (its about half way down the list) then click in it. From the list of available Item Classes pick the one that was created against the Custom SQL folder.
Hint: a good idea would be to create a new business area called LOOKUPS and place all your custom lists of values in here. Only the administrator would have access to this area. However, any item class built against an object in here will be available for use in your real business areas. In order to make the assignment in Discoverer administrator you will need to have the LOOKUPS business area open as well as any business area you will be attaching the item class to.
Hope this helps
Best wishes

Month name displayed in month calendar view for previous month

In iPad IOS 7.04 iCal month view the month name displayed at the top of the window is incorrect. The previous month name show when viewing a calendar month. Test by selecting year view and the any month from the year. The month view will be for the selected month, but the month name will be for the preceding month. The incorrect month name in month vie is also displayed if the month view is scrolled to new months.
I observe this on my iPad II.
Ha s anyone seen this error? Does anyone know if Apple has seen this and has a plan to correct it?

Imhave the same exact problem on my iPad2. It was not fixed in the recent iOS 7.1 release, even though modifications were made to the calendar app. Very frustrating, since this is such an easily observable problem.

Checking for month name and number in different language?

I have to let people search for documents by date. The database is used by French-speakers as well as English-speakers. The search allows users to type in free text (because it's not just dates they might search by, though if they do type in something that's intended to be interpreted as a date, that's the only thing they're allowed to type in). So, I might get '23/Apr/2009' or '2009/04/23', for example. (I also have to allow them to submit 23.04.2009 and 23 04 2009 and any combination of the above!)
I have written a function which breaks the string into three bits, and then I work out if each bit is a year, or a month, or a day with simple rules (eg, if it's a number between 1900 and 2400, it must be the year component).
When it comes to the month, I do two things. One is obvious: is it a number between 1 and 12? The other is, is it a month name that appears in a list of 'allowed' month names. So my function does this at the start:
v_validmonths := 'january,february,march,april <and so on>';
v_validmonths := v_validmonths || ',janv,fevr,avr,mai, <and so on>';Then I do this:
 for x in 1 .. listlen(v_validmonths,',') loop
 v_probemonth := listgetat(v_validmonths,x,',');
 if instr(lower(v_partone),v_probemonth) > 0 then
 v_month := extract (month from to_date(v_partone,'MON'));
 end if;
 end loop; IE, I compare the first component of the string (v_partone) with the list of allowed month names. I repeat that for the other two parts of the supplied string. As you can see, if one of the parts of the supplied string matches an allowed month name, I then try to extract the month number into a variable, using Oracle's own extract function.
And that's where my problem arises. Because although "aout" is valid French for August and is permitted by my list of valid months, the extract function fails to understand it. A simple select extract (month from to_date('AOUT','MON')) from dual, for example, gives an ORA01843 (invalid month).
How can I get the code to work with French (and German, actually) months and month abbreviations whilst also being able to understand English ones? Is there an in-built function that would allow me to do this? Or is there some way neatly to say, 'yes: AOUT is in the list, and it's month 8' without me having to rely on the extract function to work it out?
(I realise that the business requirement here is very peculiar and your first reaction will probably be "this is horrible!". I will absolutely agree with you! But this is the requirement as has been explicitly specified by the MD and I can't negotiate it away, sadly.)

Hi,
Many of Oracle's date functions allow a parameter where you can override the current NLS settings only for that function call.
For example:
SELECT TO_DATE ( 'JUIL.'
 , 'MON'
 , 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH'
 ) AS month
FROM DUAL;You could also create your own table of month names
NAME NUM LANGUAGE
JANVIER 1 FRENCH
JANV 1 FRENCHand look up the names in this table, rather than in a string hard-coded in the function. This might be especially useful if you wanted to allow your own abbreviations or spellings (e.g., ignoring accent marks).

My iPhone 4s won't display my contact names in my message, although the number is still linked to the correct contact in my phone book

My iPhone 4s won't display my contact names in my message, although the number is still linked to the correct contact in my phone book.
Recently updated with iOS 5.1.1, I've read elsewhere about a possible bug associated with the update?

Hello, Sue.Darby.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend having your friend check to see if call and message blocking is enabled on their end. Here is some information regarding that feature.

Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

This happened to me and I was baffled for a bit. I went to my contact list and that contact (that was now a number) had disappeared. Then, multiple contacts started disappearing. Subsequently, they reappeared but in duplicate and sometimes triplicate. I believe that it had something to do with iCloud sync. I ended up removing the contacts (in settings) and then bringing them back in. Everything seemed to work after that.

Want to get the month number from month name

Hi Friends
Can you suggest me a function module which would convert the month name to the month number.?
Example : suppose the input is December 20,2006 I want to get it converted to SAP internal format YYYYMMDD i.e. 20061220.
Would reward pointns for immediate help.:-)
Also is there a function module which would convert date given in any format to the SAP internal format.
Thanks
 Rita.

Hi,
I am not aware of any FM that will convert alphnumeric dates to SAP internal format.
However, you could create a simple logic to convert this with the assumption that your first string is for the month then date then year:
=====
DATA: l_date(20) VALUE 'December 20,2006',
 l_new_date(8),
 l_month(10),
 l_day(2),
 l_year(4).
START-OF-SELECTION.
TRANSLATE l_date TO UPPER CASE.
*- Get month string (separated by space from day & year)
SPLIT l_date AT space INTO l_month l_date IN CHARACTER MODE.
*- Get day & year (separated by comma)
SPLIT l_date AT ',' INTO l_day l_year IN CHARACTER MODE.
l_new_date0(4) = l_year0(4).
l_new_date6(2) = l_day0(2).
END-OF-SELECTION.
*- Get numeric month
SELECT SINGLE mnr FROM t247
 INTO l_new_date+4(2)
 WHERE ktx = l_month+0(3).
IF sy-subrc = 0.
 WRITE:/ l_new_date.
ELSE.
 WRITE:/ 'Invalid date'.
ENDIF.
Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Darwin

Display of Month and year in Y-axis of horizontal bar chart

Hi,
We are using Webi XI R2 version. Could you please let me know how we can display date in chart. I am having objects as Month name (July, Aug etc) and year (2009). I want to display on the Y-axis as Jul-09, Aug-09
Please advise.
Kindly let me know if any further information is required on the same.
Thanks in advance,
Eswar

Hi,
Now I understand your problem a little bit better.
If you do not have a measure you could try and create one.
One that comes to mind that will be usefull here is the number of days till task finish.
Use either the
DaysBetween(CurrDate();[task_end_date])
, which will change as the report gets older.
or the refresh date of dataprovider, which will stay as it was after refresh.
However I'm not sure that will get you the exact layout you are looking for.
Since normally that number of days will then go on the y-axis, not the task end date.
You could try a few chart options with the ending month as a dimension on the y-axis.
Or ask the users if they can live with this different indication of how long it will take till a task finishes.
Hope this helps,
Marianne
