Need reporting logic for Previous months sales compared to current month

Dear Folks,
I need to design a report that should give cumulative sales for the month compared with cumulative sales for the same date for previous months e.g. Sales upto 21st May should be compared with sales from 1st to 21st April, from 1st March to 21st March and so on.
Can anyone provide me a logic or CMOD code how to develop this report.
Will be great helpful.
Thanks in Advance.
Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,
     To accomplish the required output, you need to create variables that are input enabled and of processing type user eixt in the columns of your report in the query designer. I am assuming that, you would have atleast one variable which is input enabled and of processing type manual entry.
The user would input a date ( for example may 21) in this variable. You need to capture this value in the user eixt in I-STEP 2. From this value you need to calculate the previous month and pass it to the user exit variable. Below is a sample code,
----variable ZPREVDATE:pass the to value from variable ZCURRDAT -
DATA : LV_CALDAY TYPE SY-DATUM,
           LS_T_VAR_RANGE TYPE i_t_var_range,
           LV_YR(4), LV_MN(2), LV_DY(2).
WHEN 'ZPREVDATE'.
IF i_step = 2.
      READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO LS_T_VAR_RANGE
      WITH KEY vnam = ZCURRDAT'.
      LV_CALDAY = LS_T_VAR_RANGE-high.
      LV_YR = LV_CALDAY+0(4).
      LV_MN = LV_CALDAY+4(2).
      LV_DY = LV_CALDAY+6(2).
LV_MN = LV_MN - 1.
CONCATENATE LV_YR LV_MN LV_DY INTO LV_CALDAY.
      ls_range-low = LV_CALDAY.
      ls_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      ls_range-sign = 'I'.
      APPEND ls_range TO e_t_range.
ENDIF.
The above code is a rough code that would help you to acheive your logic

Calculating Previous Month(s) From Current Date

Greeting JavaScripting Gurus!
I would like to ask for some assistance on Date Calculation.
Here is my current scenario:
The user inputs a date mm/dd/yyyy ("DateField")
The powers that be over here are asking for the "DateField" to then calculate these items:
"DateField" minus(-) 12 months = mm/yyyy ("12MonthsAgoDateField")
"DateField" minus(-) 18months = mm/yyyy ("18MonthsAgoDateField")
"DateField" minus(-) 36 months = mm/yyyy ("36MonthsAgoDateField")
and so on...
I've read some of the Date Calculation posts, but could no seem to find anything that fit this scenario.
I freely confess my javascripting ability is very minor.
I would greatly appreciate any help in scripting this.
Thank you!

Unfortunately the numbers of days in a month or year are not the same for all months or years, so the get and set date methods might not work. Fortunately there are the getMonth() and setFullYear() methods for getting or setting the month or year for a given date.
For the "On Blur" action for the "DateField" you can use:
function GetField(cName) {
// get a field object with error catching;
var oField = this.getField(cName);
if(oField == null) app.alert("Error accessing field named: " + cName, 0, 0);
return oField;
} // end GetField function;
function AddMonths(oDate, nMonths) {
// add nMonths to oDate object;
oDate.setMonth(oDate.getMonth() + nMonths);
return oDate; // return adjusted date object;
} // end AddMonths;
function Scand(cFormat, cDate) {
var oDate = util.scand(cDateFormat, event.value);
if(oDate == null) app.alert("Error converting " + oDate.valueAsString + " with format: " + cDateFormat, 0, 0);
return oDate;
} // end Scand functon;
var cDateFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy"; // format for date strings;
// event value is the start date string;
// 12 months ago;
var o12MonthsAgo = GetField("12MothsAgoDateField")
var oDate = Scand(cDateFormat, event.value);
oDate = AddMonths(oDate, -12) // subtract 12 months;
o12MonthsAgo.value = util.printd(cDateFormat,oDate);
// 18 months ago;
var o18MonthsAgo = GetField("18MothsAgoDateField")
oDate = Scand(cDateFormat, event.value);
oDate = AddMonths(oDate, -18) // subtract 18 months;
o18MonthsAgo.value = util.printd(cDateFormat, oDate);
// 36 months ago;
var o36MonthsAgo = GetField("36MothsAgoDateField")
oDate = Scand(cDateFormat, event.value);
oDate = AddMonths(oDate, -36); // subtract 36 months;
o36MonthsAgo.value = util.printd(cDateFormat, oDate);
// and so on;
Since getting a field object, converting a date string to a date object and adjusting the date object using the getMonth and setMonth methods are repeated several times I have used functions so the repeated code could be reused.

How to find current month, previous month Net Sales by means of formula?

Hello Gurus,
I need my crystal report to display data as below:-
                                        Net Sales
PG1         Current month      Previous Month     Prior year-month    %Variance
Panels      $                          $                          $
Frames
Can anyone kindly suggest formula for generating these values?
I have already formulated current, previous, prior year months' start dates and end dates.
Further details:-
Data filters are requested for Company-->Region-->Customergroup-->All Product group
Datasource is Universe
Reporting for 2 years data
Your suggestions and help will be much appreciate.
Thanks,
Prarthana

hi Prarthana,
there are a couple of different ways of doing this...one way is to create formulae similar to below...
1) formula for current month sales
if month({your date field}) = month(currentdate)
and year({your date field}) = year({your date field})
then {your sales field}
2) formula for previous month sales
if month({your date field}) = month(dateadd("m", -1, currentdate))
and year({your date field}) = year(dateadd("m", -1, currentdate))
then {your sales field}
3) formula for 2 months ago
if month({your date field}) = month(dateadd("m", -2, currentdate))
and year({your date field}) = year(dateadd("m", -2, currentdate))
then {your sales field}
put those formulas on your details sections and then right click on them and choose Insert > Summary and choose Sum as the summary type and change the Summary Location to match the appropriate groups.
cheers,

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.

Help With Monthly Sales Query

Hello All -
We use the below Query to find monthly sales for each of our stock units. However, it only provides the current year -- so for 2010, all our 2009 data is gone and the query just shows Jan 2010.
Is there any way to adjust this Query so that we can select the year we want to see?
Thanks!

Reg : Curr Month,Previous Month,Curr Month Previous Year

Hi all ,

Current Month               Sales value
Previous Month             Sales value

Previous Year
Curr Month and Previous Month I got it with Time Series AGO Function .
But current month for the Previous Year , I am not able to proceed .
Kindly help.
Reg,

Hi NIV,
You can use the same time series function to calculate current month of last year values.
Ago (measure column , year , 1)
it describes the last year sales of current month

Show data of last day of previous month against any day of current month

Hi,
I have fact table which contains data at date level (we have data for oct-2009 to april-2010). Our requirement is to show data of last day of previous month against any day of current month in obiee 11g. I am facing problem in Feb 2010 its picking data of 28-Jan-2010 instead of 31-jan-2010 and for April its picking data of 30-mar-2010 instead of 31-mar -2010.
Any suggestion ???

You're asking to filter your data set to only include rows between:
1) last day of the previous month
2) any day of the current month
This can be achieved with prompting in OBIEE Answers.
last day of previous month = TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , -(1), TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , DAYOFMONTH( CURRENT_DATE) * -(1) + 1, CURRENT_DATE)) . The problem is you need to make query work within Oracle's Answer syntax.
In the prompt, select the operator type for your date dimension as 'between' and default to 'SQL Results'.
For the 'last day of previous month' , use the query:
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Time."Fiscal Date" else TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , -(1), TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , DAYOFMONTH( CURRENT_DATE) * -(1) + 1, CURRENT_DATE))
end
FROM ENTER_YOUR_PRESENTATION_FACT_FOLDER_HERE
For the current date, use the query:
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Time."Fiscal Date" else CURRENT_DATE
end
FROM ENTER_YOUR_PRESENTATION_FACT_FOLDER_HERE
Another option is to create a last_date_pervious_month variable in the RPD and have that as the default value in your prompt.

To get previous month's data

Hi
My report requirement:
Display current month and previous month's data (sal) next to each other based on the month selected as a current month.
Expression I'm using at the moment:
case when trunc(lag(dt,1,dt) over (partition by ename order by dt),'MM') = trunc(add_months(dt,-1),'MM')
then lag(sal,1,sal) over (partition by ename order by dt)
However, instead of 'dt' I'm trying to use a parameter (dt as a current month's dt).
This gives me an error message.
Can anyone guide me on this?
Thanks and regards,
Aparna

Why not simply join the table with itself? I.e. join the two months data sets and have a single row containing current and previous month results
Simplistic example. We have a YEARLY_TOTALS table where the primary key is MONTH in the date format YYYY/MM. You can then compare the sales totals per month of this year with that of last year using the following type of SELECT construct:
SELECT
cur.month,
cur.sales as CURRENT_SALES,
prev.sales as LAST_YEAR_SALES
FROM yearly_totals cur
JOIN yearly_totals prev
ON ADD_MONTHS(prev.month,12) = cur.month
WHERE cur.month >= TRUNC(SYSDATE,'YY')

Getting data in a query on last date of all previous months

Dear Experts,
I need your help with a query.
I am trying to create a query which when run should pick the number of Open Sales Order on the last date of all the previous months from the start of company.
I could create the query for fetching the required data on last day of the previous month, say today is 25th June 2014, so my query only fetches data for May 31st 2014 but I need data for all previous month, May 31st 2014, April 30th 2014, March 31st 2014 & so on.
Please advise how to achieve this is SQL query.

How to get previous month data from current month values

I have made one universe from BW Query in which Fiscal year period is entered in interval.
I have made a universe from that and want to develop webI reports on top of that.
In my webI reports, i have used one cross tab. In Rows section i have added Company Code and in Column section i have used Fiscal Year/Period and in Value section i have added Sales Value. I want this value of previous month.
Requirement:
Ex.
                        Feb'09          Mar'09     and so on...
Comp_code1   Sales of Jan'09         Sales of Feb'0f         and so on....
I am getting this.
Ex.
                        Feb'09          Mar'09     and so on...

Hi Rishit,
Follow the below steps to get the desired result.
Step1: Convert your fiscal year period from char to a date in your database or in your designer however its feasible.
to_date('substr('009.2009',2)','mm.yyyy')
you will get the result 01 sep 2009
Step2: Convert this format to 01/09/2009 by using date functions.
Step3: Create a Detail associated to the 'date' field (typically your fiscal period).
Step4: Create a cross tab Like : Rows section should have Company Code and in Column section should have 'date'(created detail) and in Value section should be Sales Value.
you should get the following result.
01/02/2009 01/03/2009 and so on...
Comp_code1 Sales of Feb'09 Sales of Mar'09 and so on....
Step5: Use the following formula in your Column (date) formula bar.
=(<date>-1)-DayNumberOfMonth(<date>-1)+1
You will get the following result:
01/01/2009 01/02/2009 and so on...
Comp_code1 Sales of Feb'09 Sales of Mar'09 and so on....
Format the cell according to your reruirement.
Let me know if you will get any break in the above steps.

How to show Increase/Decrease of Sales Amount compare to Previous Month.

Hi,
My users need to view the percentage decrease/increase of Sales $ compared to previous month, for each Month.
How can I create a Restricted Key Figures that show Sales $ Amount as of Previous Month (take note it is not just Previous Month from Current Month, but each Month's Previous Month). i.e
Nov 06 - Sales $ = 1000
N0v 06 - CKF_A - Variance Compare to Prev. Month: 100%
Dec 06 - Sales $ = 800
Dec 06 - CKF_A - Variance Compare to Prev. Month: -20%
(800-1000/1000)
Jan 06 - Sales $ = 1000
Jan 06 - CKF_A - Variance Compare to Prev. Month: 25%
(1000-800/800)
How can I create CKF_A and achieve similar result?
Most of the variables for 0CALMONTH or 0FISCPER seems pointing to one value only.
I don't want to create Restricted Key Figures for each and every month.
Please help.
Thanks,
Sean Yit.

Sean,
You don't have to create RKFs for each and evry month. But you need to create just two RKFs.
Lets say that you want to display the months in rows and Sales in the first column and the variance in the second column. Just restrict Sales by the month characterstic with a user entry variable (range if it is more than one month the user wants to display), then in the next column create another RKF by restricting Sales with the same month characterstic. This time offset the first varaible by minus one (-1). In the properties of this RKF, select always hide option.
Now create a CKF (calculated key figure), by using the variance% formula option.
CKF = RKF2 "%" RKF1.
I hope this helps..
