PLD - How to calculate difference in days

Hi,
I have a print layout with two different dates (posting date and current date). I need to show the difference between these dates in days. Apparently a formula field with one field minus the other field doesn't do it .
How can I get the number of days between two dates ?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Johan

Calculate Difference in Days Between two Dates

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the difference in days between two dates using JavaScript in LiveCycle. (JavaScript knowledge = minimal)
Where "Start_Date" and "Current_Date" are the names of the two dates in the Hierarchy palette. (both Date/Time Field)
*Current date is using the Object > Value > Runtime Property > Current Date/Time
I need a Text or Numeric field displaying the difference in days. (Difference_in_Days)
I've noticed the following code being pretty standard amongst other responses:
var
Start_Date = new Date(Start_Date);
var
Current_Date = new Date(Current_Date);
var
nAgeMilliseconds = Current_Date.getTime() - Start_Date.getTime();
var
nMilliSecondsPerYear = 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
I know there's code missing, and the above code might not be correct.
Please advise.

Where "DateField01" = user entered date field
Where "DateFiled02" = Current Date/Time (Runtime Property)
where "Subform" = the subform containing DateField01
My script now resembles:
var oneDay = 24*60*60*1000;
var firstDate = new Date(Subform.DateField01.rawValue);
var secondDate = new Date(DateField02.rawValue);
(firstDate.getTime() - secondDate.getTime()) / oneDay;
I tried adding:
app.alert(String(diffDays));
Although I assume the reason I didn't get an error is because DateField01 is empty when the form is opened.
If I swap in actual dates instead of fields it works perfectly.
When I use the fields I have no information populating after I enter a date in "DateField01"

How to calculate number of days in ABAP?

Hi,
I have a condition as below:
If (field1 - field2) > 12 Months
E.g field1 = 31.05.2011 & field2 = 10.11.2011
Can SAP actually minus dates and check if the difference is greater than 12 months?
How do I perform this calculation?
Pls advice.
Thanks!

Hi,
If your calculating dates please do not manually calculate it like that.
You need to determine like week numbers, month and days.
The best way to do it is by using FM related to dates. Play around with these FMs in your program:
Function Modules related to Date and Time Calculations
CALCULATE_DATE - Calculates the future date based on the input .
DATE_TO_DAY - Returns the Day for the entered date.
DATE_COMPUTE_DAY - Returns weekday for a date
DATE_GET_WEEK - Returns week for a date
RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL - Add days / months to a date
DAY_ATTRIBUTES_GET - Returns attributes for a range of dates specified
MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES - To get the number of months between the two dates.
END_OF_MONTH_DETERMINE_2 - Determines the End of a Month.
HR_HK_DIFF_BT_2_DATES -Find the difference between two dates in years, months and days.
FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARS - Find the difference between two dates in years, months and days.
WEEK_GET_FIRST_DAY - Get the first day of the week
SD_CALC_DURATION_FROM_DATETIME - Find the difference between two date/time and report the difference in hours
L_MC_TIME_DIFFERENCE - Find the time difference between two date/time
HR_99S_INTERVAL_BETWEEN_DATES - Difference between two dates in days, weeks, months
LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS - Returns the last day of the month
DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY - Check for the invalid date.
DATE_2D_TO_4D_CONVERSION - Year entry: 2-character to 4-character.
DAY_IN_WEEK - Input date and will give the name of the day 1-monday,2-Tuesday....
SD_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE - Give the difference in Days and Time for 2 dates

Hi Friends,
I need to calculate Difference and Percentage In matrix report SSRS 2008
1) Row grouping based On Product
2) Column Grouping Week and Fiscal Year Current week and Previous Year same Weeks
3)Data Invnetory(Value fileld)
Example:
If value1 and Value2 Available we need to calculate Percentage and Difference.Otherwise Not required NA I need to Show.
For example If Particular week,Current year data is available,Previous year week data is not available No
need to cal Diff and Percentage we need to show Empty.
Below Code is working for If two values is available.
If any one of the fiscal year week data is not there it's taking some garbage values.
I tries with If condition in GetPCT() and GetDiff() It's not working.
Can some one please help me on this.
I am using the custom code
Public Shared Value1 as String
Public Shared Value2 as String
Public Shared previous as string
Public Shared previousweek as string

return (Value2-Value1)/Value1
End Function
How to handle this.
Thank You, Manasa.V

Hi veerapaneni,
According to your description, if one of the fiscal year week doesn’t have data, the custom code returns false results.
For your requirement, if NULL value exists in the database, we should replace it as zero then perform calculate. So within the code, we should judge whether the value is NULL. To achieve your goal, please refer to the steps below:
1. Create a table like below.
create table dif4
([Product Group] varchar(50),
[Week] varchar(50),
[Fiscalyearweek] varchar(50),
value int
insert into dif4 values
('Desktops','W01','FY14W01',0),
('Desktops','W01','FY15W01',45),
('Desktops','W02','FY14W02',null),
('Desktops','W02','FY15W02',30),
('Desktops','W03','FY14W03',12),
('Desktops','W03','FY15W03',50),
('Notebooks','W01','FY14W01',35),
('Notebooks','W01','FY15W01',56),
('Notebooks','W02','FY14W02',45),
('Notebooks','W02','FY15W02',87),
('Notebooks','W03','FY14W03',75),
('Notebooks','W03','FY15W03',105),
('Tablets','W01','FY14W01',34),
('Tablets','W01','FY15W01',46),
('Tablets','W02','FY14W02',49),
('Tablets','W02','FY15W02',96),
('Tablets','W03','FY14W03',42),
('Tablets','W03','FY15W03',113)
2. Add the custom code in the Report Properties.
Public Shared Value1 as Integer
Public Shared Value2 as Integer
Public Shared previous as string
Public Shared previousweek as string
Public Shared Function GetValue(Value as Integer,product as String,Week as String) as Integer
If Value=Nothing Then
Value=0
End If
If product =previous and Week =previousweek Then
Value2=Value
Else
previous=product
previousweek=Week
Value1=Value
End If
return Value
End Function
Public Shared Function GetPct()
If Value1=0 Then
return 0
Else
return (Value2-Value1)/Value1
End If
End Function
Public Shared Function GetDiff()
return Value2-Value1
End Function
3. Design the matrix like below.
4. Then get the expected results.<o:p></o:p>
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to calculate number of days in hijri

Dear all,
I need to develop a custom report in which i required to calculate number of days in hijri month and also the first and last day of the hijri month. we normally use Last_date(sysdate) function to get the last date of the english calender. but how can we find same for month.
Looking after for your support.
Regards,
Saquib

Convert to hirjih date using:
select
to_char(sysdate,'YYYY/MM/DD','NLS_CALENDAR=''English Hijrah''') hijrih_date
from dual;
You can replace sysdate with the date of your choice.
Also I wrote this for my last project:
/* get hirjih date */
FUNCTION get_hijrah_date(
p_date in date,
p_date_format in varchar2
) return varchar2
is
v_hijrah_date varchar2(500);
begin
select
to_char(p_date,p_date_format,'NLS_CALENDAR=''English Hijrah''')
into v_hijrah_date
from dual;
return v_hijrah_date;
end get_hijrah_date;
So you can have get_hijrah_date(sysdate,'DD-MON-YYYY') from dual;
(or any other date formate of your choice)

How to calculate Date and Days

Hi BW Experts,
I have requirement, I have field original GI Date and it is calculating based on 'Original promise date'-'Transport time'. Formula is 'Original GI Date' = 'Original promise date'-'Transport time'.
We are getting data for original promise date as Date format and Transport time as Days (ex: 1 or 2 days).
Here, how can I convert into Date or how can I calculate Date and Days. I am working on BW3.5 .
Please help me how can I overcome this requirement.
Points will be assign.
regards
Yedu.

Hi Ventatesh
It's not a problem
You can subtract days from date to get the resultant date
Original Promise time = GI Date - Transit time ( in days)
Add Original Promise Time in your data target and fill that up with the above rule.
If the above is not working you can use this function module
DATE_IN_FUTURE
Here you need to pass Date and Days to get future date. Only trick you need to apply that if the transit days is 5 days, you pass -5 to this function module.
But this function module is not available in BW system. Just copy the code from ECC system and create a Z FM for BW system

   add_months(trunc(input_date, 'YYYY'), 12)
   trunc(input_date, 'YYYY') as days_in_year   Would do it.

How to calculate number of days excluding weekends

I have the following <u>key figures</u> in my InfoCube:
Date Released to Vendors key figure - ZRELDT
Date Awarded to a Vendor key figure - ZAWRDT
In my BEx query, I need to calculate the difference between these two key figures but the weekends should be excluded. For example, if the value of ZRELDT is 08/10/2007 (which is a Friday) and the value of ZAWRDT is 08/13/2007, the result should just be 1 day and not 3 days since the other days pertain to a Saturday and a Sunday.
How do I address this in the formula when creating the Query?
thanks.

Hi,
Use func module HOLIDAY_GET need to pass the Holiday Cal the company use
and also
FM: DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE.
One way to use this:
Assuming:
- You have the start & end dates in variables.
- Keep a few counters
Logic:
- Pass start date to DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORY_DATE with the parameter +
- If this date is not a factory date, the next date which is a factory day is returned. (I.e. passed Sunday as param, got a Monday date returned). If the day passed to the function is the same as the date returned, this is a factory day (working day)
- If the date passed to the function is not the same as the returned day then this day was not a factory day, meaning not a work date. Add 1 to a counter
- Pass the first day + 1 (use another counter for + N)
- Stop loop when passed parameter is equal to stop date.
You can replicate the factory calendar from R/3, CRM etc in your source system in RSA1 (transfer globals). In your function call, you specify which factory calendar to use
hope this help

Calculate difference of days between two dates

Hi,
Date1: It is a mandatory type-in date at the time of query execution. How to create it? By default, it should take today's calendar date.
Date2: it is a date in a Char format. (0NETDUEDATE) in one of the dimension of InfoCube.
In query column

I would prefer to use in global variable.
Please help.

Hello ,
           For date 1 create a characteristic variable(ready to input) on 0calday with customer exit as processing type and key in the following code to get the system date.
data aktdat like sy-datum.
when 'test'.
    aktdat = sy-datum(6).
    clear l_s_range.
    l_s_range-low   = aktdat.
    l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
    l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
    append l_s_range to e_t_range.
Then create a user entry variable for date 2 using the characteristic mentioned,
then for calculating the days difference check the following.

Hi
There is an extension function you can use, from the javadoc:
date_diff
public static long date_diff(java.lang.String format,
java.lang.String fromDate,
java.lang.String toDate,
java.lang.String locStr,
java.lang.String tzID)
Method to get the difference between two dates in the given locale. The dates need to be in "yyyy-MM-dd" format. This function supports only Gregorian calendar.
Parameters:
format - the format to which the difference is required; allowed formats are y (for Year), m(for month), w(for week), d(for day), h(for hour), mi(for minute), s(for seconds) and ms(for milliseconds)
fromDate - the first date
toDate - the second date
locStr - locale string -> lang-Territory
tzID - timezone ID ->http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/TimeZone.html
Returns:
the difference in dates in the desired format
For example
<?xdoxslt:date_diff(‘d’,’2009-09-14’, ‘2009-09-20’,’en-US’,1)?>
give a result of 6
You can substitute in columns for the dates, just remember the date format required.

How to calculate number of days from a date field

Dear BW Experts.
I have a field 'Create Date' in the BEx query. Now we need to create a variable which should give the number of days from the date of running the query (sy-datum) to the Create Date.
This will help the users to get records which are say, 30 days old (Sy-datum - create date = 30) or 10 days old etc.
Could you suggest as to how to create this variable.
Thanks,
Sai

Hi,
Step 1: Create variable on "Create Date" with User entry processing type
Step 2: Create a restricted KF for Sales & restrict it on "Create Date" to get "Sales on day"
Step 3: Manipulate the values of "Create Date" on which you could restrict "Sales" again and again to get other values
Step 4: Create one variable (ZPUTMNTH) for u201CMonth to Dateu201D with processing by u201CCustomer Exitu201D. This variable was created on u201CDateu201D characteristics.
Step 5 : Goto C-mod t-code and use EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001
to calculate "month to date" user input is "Calday" Key Date
WHEN 'ZPUTMNTH'.
IF I_STEP = 2. "after the popup
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WHERE VNAM = 'ZPDATE'.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(6). "low value, e.g.YYYYMM (200606) part of key date (20060625)
L_S_RANGE-LOW+6(2) = '01'. u201C low value e..g. YYYYMM01 (20060601)
L_S_RANGE-HIGH = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW. "high value = input
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

How to calculate number of days between Calendar objects

Hi,
I need to calculate the number of days between two Calendar objects. Here is some sample code:

now.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
now.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
now.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
// get a calendar that represents a day in the past
Calendar aDayInThePast = getADayInThePast();
aDayInThePast.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
aDayInThePast.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
aDayInThePast.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
aDayInThePast.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
// how can I calculate the number of days ago this was??
//it would also be useful to get back a negative number if the day is in the future
