Running total + Blackout Days

I am looking for help with a couple of things, but first and most important is getting a Flex based form to SUM the fields. I am new to Flex, and want/hope to be able to create a form that has various values in ComboBoxes, Text Input fields, NumSteppers that can be totalled or summed in another "Total" text area a sort of form calculator. So far I am not seeing much math function.
Picture an XLS form that has variable quantities and prices with a final cell that has a formula for =SUM(C1:C59)
The other challenge I am having is with the DateField, I want to have a date selector that wont allow past dates or anything from today out 2 weeks...but I am not seeing the options of blocking a quantity of days, rather specific days of the week, which will not work for what I am trying to accomplish, it needs to do something like <mx:DateField x="15" y="15" disabledRanges="TODAY+14 days" or disabledDays="TODAY+14"/>
Sorry in advance for my ignorance...thanks to anyone who can help point me on the right path!

For the first one, you would need to create the 'total' display object, using whatever is appropriate ('Text' would be fine, since the user isn't ever going to enter the value)
Then you need to create the Actionscript function to total the data elements that should be included in the total, and this function should update the value displayed in Text.text.
To update as field change, you will need to add an event listener to each of the included objects to trigger the calculate function - I would probably use the focusOut event, but some others would work as well.
For your second item, those are not standard features of the <mx:Date> component. You will need to extend that component to add the features you want.

Graphing a RUNNING TOTAL on a line graph

So I'm having a lot of trouble putting my data on a chart. I have it all laid out here: files.me.com/redsteven1/glwk4v.numbers.zip
Whenever I try to graph it though I run into a whole host of problems. Namely, that I can't get the values to plot on the chart at all.
Not sure what the problem is... I select A2:G103... and I see the different series (for each Activity) show up in the legend, but nothing is plotted on the chart.
I know that much of the table is blank... that's because I'll be adding to it every day.
Ideally, the X-axis should be time/date.... May, June, July, and August can be the major tick marks. And the Y-axis would be number of hours spent on each activity.
To further complicate things, the chart should really be a running total of time spent on each activity... so if I spend an hour on Activity 1 each day for 3 days... then on the third day I should have a plot of 3 hours... not 1.
I know I didn't work things super well here... hopefully you can figure out what I mean by looking at the linked file : \
Thanks in advance.

I guess that line graph isn't the best one, I would use the Scatter one.
You can't chart your datas as they are at this time.
Every datas are date_time or duration values which can't be charted as is.
Here, I converted the dates from column A into strings
Then I added 6 columns in which I converted the durations into decimal hours.
The original columns are hidden.
The formula used to convert is a simple one.
In H2, I inserted :
=STRIPDURATION(B)*24
Fill to the right
Fill Down
to fill the other cells.

How to create a loop to run total of records for before and after unconstant date

Post Author: Ann2
CA Forum: Formula
Here is the data sample:
ID period code date
1 00 I    01/01/1999
1 00   Z   01/02/1999
1 00 G   12/05/1999
1 00 M   01/01/2000
There are many students with many periods and many codes. I need to save a date when code = 'G' and count separateley records per student/period 2 times - before and equal that date and after that date, so in the end for period 00 I will have 2 values: 3 (before) and 1(after).
There are periods from 00 to 08. I am counting students abscencies before and after warning letter was sent (code G).
The result data should look : 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08              00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08     Total
                                            3 0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0                 1 0    0   0   0   0   0   0   0        4
Please help me.
Thank you.

Thank you for your answer, but I do care about the date the 'G' happened, because I need to reset count.
The logic behind is this:if a student absent for more than 8 times per period - the letter will be sent out to the parents , that will be code 'G' with period '-1' (it may happen that there will never be code 'G' , but I need to track all absencies). Once the letter is sent, the count starts over (the count starts over the next day after code 'G'). The absencies which happened before or the date the letter sent should count toward 'previous' abscenices, all other - absenices after the letter.
So basically I need total per period and total per period before or the day with code 'G'. Running total with reset with formula code = 'G' does not work.
I created a formula field which has global date (when code 'G' happenned) and it says if globaldate >= periodDate then date (1900,01,01) else (2100,01,01) and that formula is ok, but I can not use it in running total or can not create group on it and insert total.
Please help me with this. Thank you.

Require a formula to calc the diff between 2 running total fields in a crosstab

Post Author: PJM
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have built a crosstab in Crystal XI with the following columns:
PROFILED BUDGET (a) EXPENDITURE TO DATE (b) VARIANCE (a-b)
The profiled budget and expenditure to date columns are both running total fields. I want the variance column to show the difference between the budget and expenditure.
To set the variance field up as a running total, I assume that I would have to specify that I want this formula evaluated after the budget and expenditure fields , however, I can't work out how to do this on a crosstab.
Moving the crosstab to the report footer has had no impact.
If I try to create a basic formula using the running totals, I get the error message "A summary has been specified on a non-recurring field" - I can't find an explanation of this error message on the help menu.
Can anyone help with this please?

overtime hours are calculated after 40. If I work 12 on monday, thats 12 regulars hours. not sure about others states laws but here in wisconsin we consider overtime after 40 only, not after 8 daily. at least thats how my company calculates overtime. lets say I work 10 hours a day, monday thru thursday, thats 40 hours regular time. anything after that is overtime. our weekly work schedule starts on sunday and ends on saturday. so on my bi-weekly time log, if i work 10 hrs a day monday thru thursday, i want 10hrs each day in regular hours cell, then when i work friday and or saturday, i want those hours in overtime hours. the main problem im having is: if i reach 40 hours in the middle of a day, i want the regular of that day to end and the overtime to pick up on the same day.
here is a basic example of how i want regular and overtime to look. of course the values will be duration not just numbers. hope this helps explain what i need a bit better.

Cumulative Key Figure (Running Total) - how to use in formula?

We have a scenario where I need to use the cumulative value of a Key Figure in a subsequent formula. The Cumulated property setting at the Key Figure level in the query is a Displayed Data Only setting, however, so the cumulated values are not available for use in a formula The individual values are used by BW as opposed to the cumulative values that are displayed in the column.
Ive tried using the Cumulated property at the characteristic level. I am then able to use the displayed cumulative values in a formula. However, I also need to display the individual (not cumulated) Key Figure values in a column. These individual values are no longer available for display if the Cumulated property is set at the Characteristic level.
I thought that the Define Cells functionality could possible be used, but there is only one Structure in the query, so the Define Cells functionality is unavailable. I could not think of a way to use a second structure in the rows, as the rows need to be dynamic (two characteristics, populated based on user input variables).
It may be possible to accomplish this requirement by adding a column using VBA in the SAPBEXonRefresh sub, but use of VBA is not a preferred option, as the query may be run in either the Excel Analyzer or the Web Analyzer.
The infoprovider does not contain a Key Figure field for Cumulative Volumes.
The scenario details:
Rows (Characteristics):
A: Plant (values based on user input variable)
B: Calendar day (values based on user input date variables for start & end dates)
So there is one row for each day within each plant.
Columns (Key Figures):
A: Cumulative Volume at Start of Period (uses user input date variable for start date, and Constant Value property. Hidden column.)
B: Daily Volume (for each day in the period defined by the user input variables for start and end dates)
C: Cumulative Volume at End of Each Day (formula, meant to be equal to the sum of the Cumulative Volume at start of period plus the total so far of the Daily volumes. In other words, equal to the sum of Column A plus the running total of Column B).
Does anyone out there have any more ideas on how to accomplish the required Cumulative Volume computation?

Thanks for your reply Jurgen.
I've created a Global Calculated Key Figure (CKF), and have looked at and tried a number of settings in the Properties of this new CKF.
I have not yet been able to make this work for me.
The "Cumulated" property for a Global CKF is also a display-only property. The displayed running total is not used in any formula containing this CKF, only the individual values are used in the formula.
If I select the 'Enhance' option, where exception aggregation can be done as I think you suggested, I do not see a 'cumulated' option. If I select the 'Summation' option for 'Exception Aggregation', then the 'Reference Characteristic' pull-down is not available.
Is there a different 'Exception Aggregation' option I should be using for running totals at the calendar day level?
Or am I unclear on the concept of your suggestion?
Perhaps you're on a later version of BW that has more Exception Aggregation options? (We're on BW3.5)

Manual Running Total vs Running Total

Morning all,
It is some what strange to me when I try to use a formula to calculate the total jobs and when I try to use Running total to count the same total jobs. Both answers in theory should be the same however they are not. I am wondering where am I going wrong in the manual formula.
If {despatch_summary.job_type}="FSV" then
if {despatch_summary.order_status}<>0 then
{despatch_summary.order_no}
else
0
The above code then gets DistinctCount ({@FSV})
The same method if I use by using Running Total it gives the correct number of jobs.
Running Total
field to summarize : despatch_summary.order_no
Summary Type: DistinctCount
Formula: {despatch_summary.job_type}="FSV" and {despatch_summary.order_status}<>0
Reset: none
The formula gives me 513 where as the same running total gives me 514
Where am I going wrong?
Strangely it is adding 1 to all of my manual running totals (1 is coming from canceled orders).
Many thanks
Regards

Sastry I am adding this formula into the crosstab which is setup by Number of days. So on the column it is number of days and on the summarized field it is this formula.
I chose Group options and clicked on DistinctCount after adding the formula into the summarized field.
I have already tried the formula you have suggested however it doesn't seem to be affecting it.
Apart from that what I have just done is added the Running Totals to the Summarized field which is coming up correctly however now the problem is to get their percentages.
I have used the following code but it doesn't seem to be working.
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar g:=Currentfieldvalue;
Numbervar h:={@TotalJobs-CanceledJobs};
Numbervar i:=0;
i:=((g/h)*100);
Numbervar gTot:=gTot+i;
if gTot > 100 then "100.00%"
else
totext(gTot,2)+"%"
I know I am doing it wrong when it comes to percentages. I need to get the percentages off that Running Total (Grand Total).
Am not sure how to acheive that either.
Many thanks

Distinct Count Running Total

I have a report that gets a distinct count of items per day.DistinctCount(, , "daily") I would like to create a running total of the daily count for a weekly grand total.Thanks!

I'll take a stab at this - So I understand that the report is grouped by Day and looks like this:GF1: 1/1/07 9 GF1: 1/2/07 10 GF1: 1/3/07 12 GF1: 1/4/07 15 GF1: 1/5/07 20 The first thing I'd try is to create a another group on your Date field, this time selecting the grouping option to be "For Each Week". Take that group and move it so that it is Group1 and your current group is Group 2.... your structure will now look like this. GH1: 1/1/07 < new 'week' grouping' > GF2: 1/1/07 9 GF2: 1/2/07 10 GF2: 1/3/07 12 GF2: 1/4/07 15 GF2: 1/5/07 20 Then I would copy the Sum field (distinct count) that you are using in Group 2 and put it in the Group 1 footer. We could also create a formula to sum up all distinct counts per day, but a Distinct Count by week should accomplish what you are after. Then in a seperate formula, you could divide the DistinctCount of orders (by week) by the DistinctCount of dates (by week) to get your daily average....formula:DistinctCount ({Orders.Order ID}, {Orders.Order Date}, "weekly") / DistinctCount ({Orders.Order Date}, {Orders.Order Date}, "weekly") Hope that helps.

Running Total for "cleared balance"

I want to produce query that will produce two running totals. The 1st once is straight forward and is 'Ledger Balance' - that is the balance after a particular transaction has taken place on that day. The Cleared Balance is the running total balance accounting for the value date of a transaction. For example a transaction for today, say $50 may be value dated tomorrow and hence is included in the Ledger Balance but would not appear in the Cleared balance until tomorrow.
Lets try and use some simple data:
TransactionsTable
Tran_ID     TranDate     ValueDate     Amount
1     01/02/2004     01/02/2004     50
2     01/02/2004     01/02/2004     25
3     01/02/2004     05/02/2004     30
4     01/02/2004     01/02/2004     55
5     02/02/2004     04/02/2004     11
6     02/02/2004     02/02/2004     23
7     02/02/2004     02/02/2004     33
8     02/02/2004     02/02/2004     47
9     04/02/2004     04/02/2004     10
10     07/02/2004     07/02/2004     5
StatementHistory
AC_No     Start_Date     End_Date     Opening_Ledger     Opening_Cleared
55     02/02/2004     02/02/2004     160          130
55     04/03/2004     04/02/2004     274          233
Assuming that the account opened on the 01/02/04 with a zero balance.
So for a daily statement on the 01/02/04, I'd expect to see the following Details
TranDate     ValueDate     Amount     Ledger Balance     Cleared Balance
01/02/2004     01/02/2004     50     50          50
01/02/2004     01/02/2004     25     75          75
01/02/2004     05/02/2004     30     105          75
01/02/2004     01/02/2004     55     160          130
So for a daily statement on the 02/02/04, I'd expect to see the following Details
TranDate     ValueDate     Amount     Ledger Balance     Cleared Balance
02/02/2004     04/02/2004     11     171          130
02/02/2004     02/02/2004     23     194          153
02/02/2004     02/02/2004     33     227          186
02/02/2004     02/02/2004     47     274          233
And skipping to the 04/02/04, I'd expect to see.
04/02/2004     04/02/2004     10     284          254
I can get the ledger balance using:
          sum(amount_to_account) OVER (PARTITION BY ac_no , trans_ID
          ORDER BY TranDate, trans_ID
          RANGE UNBOUNDED PRECEDING)
     + sh.Opening_Ledger
But I'm unsure how to get the Cleared balance as this need to access transaction inforation from a number of days previous (possibly up to 5 days allowing for maximum period for clearing a transaction).
Does anyone have an idea how to achive this?

Problem with "Running Total"

Hi, I've created a calcution using the analytic function template "Running Total" and the worksheet ran fine. I saved the workbook with this new calculation.
The next day when I attempt to run that worksheet I received the error "Database Error - ORA-00923 From keyword not found where expected."
For some reason it's loosing the SUM( ) from the calc.
Here's what the calc looks like now -> No of Queries OVER(PARTITION BY Calendar Year and Month ORDER BY Calendar Date ASC ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING )
This is what it looks like when I created it -> SUM(No of Queries) OVER (PARTITION BY Calendar Year and Month ORDER BY Calendar Date ASC ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING)
Brent.

Well, I guess my thought process was declaring warrBaseYrPrc in the @currWarrBaseYrPrc formula which would make it a global variable and accessible to all formulas where that same variable is declared. I thought that if I declared warrBaseYrPrc in @currWarr2YrPrc, it would have its value as calculated in @currWarrBaseYrPrc and use that. And since @currWarr2YrPrc returns the variable warrBaseYrPrc with some slight modifications depending on the if statment, it shouldn't have refused use in the Running Total.
So I'm kind of leaning more toward an ordering screw up (i.e. it didn't know what formula to evaluate first because they were all in the same section and dependent on one another because of nesting formula invocations, and thus treated @currWarr2YrPrc warrBaseYrPrc variable, and subsequent calculations, as a constant as you talked about and you can't RT constants). I still find it perplexing why it would treat a variable as a constant, but I guess I'll have to experiment with it a little bit.
By the way, do you know of any good free crystal report debugging tools?

Keeping a Running Total for Formula fields

Post Author: khanh
CA Forum: Formula
I've been messing around for the past couple of days trying to figure out what the best approach for my problem. So here is what I'm trying to accomplish. I have multiple rows which contains sums for different columns and one of the columns contains the maximum of the sums.
For example:
ROW 1 SUM (A) SUM(B) SUM(C) MAX(sum(a), sum(b), sum(c))<----
Formula Variable 1
ROW 2 SUM (A) SUM(B) SUM(C) MAX(sum(a), sum(b), sum(c))<----
Formula Variable 2
ROW Total SUM (1A2A) SUM(1B2B) SUM(1C+2C) Result of Row 1 + Result of Row 2
What I did was create a formula variable that evaluates the maximum of those rows and have a summary row, that keeps a running total. I'm not sure how to store the result of that formula variable in the running total since the formula variable isn't an option to select. Does anyone have a suggestions if this is a good approach or if there's another way to approach it?

For each value you enter into scores.text, end it with a
+"\n"
as in...
scores.text = String(1100) + "\n";
scores.text += String(2200) + "\n";
scores.text += String(1500) + "\n";

Creating a cumulative total by day measure which resets each month.

Hi,
I need to creative a cumulative total measure (or calculated column) which accumulates my revenue sales for each day in a month, but resets each month.
I've created an example below:
The dates are from a linked date table and are based on a fiscal year. When the months are collapsed the months can either accumulate or stay fixed to the max for the month, that does not affect me.
I have tried various attempts using the guides below and I'm sure the answer is there but I can't get the filtering right.
I can get it to work but accumulate since the start of my data but this is not what I need.
http://www.daxpatterns.com/cumulative-total/
http://javierguillen.wordpress.com/2012/11/28/running-total-techniques-in-dax/
Thanks.

It appears that your months align with the standard calendar's months. I.e. your fiscal calendar's October always aligns with regular October. If this is the case, then you can simply use the built-in time intelligence function TOTALMTD().
MTD Measure:=
TOTALMTD(
[Measure]
, DimDate[Date Field]
If this is not the case and your month does not always line up with the standard calendar month, you can implement identical behavior with this FILTER():
Custom MTD Measure:=
CALCULATE(
[Measure]
, FILTER( ALL( DimDate )
, DimDate[Month Number] = MAX( DimDate[MonthNumber] )
&& DimDate[Date Field] <= MAX( DimDate[Date Field] )
Both of these will give identical behavior:
At the day level, they will show the running total for the current month, including the current day.
At the month level, they will show the total for the month.
At the quarter level and above (semester, year, decade, ...) they will show the total for the last month in that period. E.g. for a standard year, they will show December's total.
If these don't work, please provide more details about your date dimension, your data model, and how you are constructing your pivot table, preferably all in the form of a copy of your workbook on OneDrive or similar.

Running Total and In Current Year Columns Source

Hi all,
What is the source for Running Total and In Current Year Columns from Absence Detail Screen.
From Which tables can I get the information on those columns.
Thanks in Advance

Hello,
I am still struck with Running Total Column
When i fetch running total using this query it works for some of the employees
SELECT SUM(ABSENCE_hours) from PER_ABSENCE_ATTENDANCES where person_id = <your person id> and absence_attendance_type_id = <your absence type id>
As there are three different cases here as Days,Hours and No Balance
I am missing the logic again here when it comes for no balance and days

Running Totals Maybe?

I am fairly new to Crystal Reports and Running Totals. I have a group setup that is based on the number of days a loan is late. For example, I have three buckets (30 Days, 60 Days, 90 Days). In setting up the group, I put the group in specific order and decided to exclude the other loans that are less than 30 days. I am trying to get a total $ amount of all the loans instead of just the loans in the buckets. I have searched forums and a Crystal 2008 book trying to figure this out. I tried using a Running Total with the Running Total expert but it is still giving me the same grand $ total that I have for the groups I selected. Any ideas? I am bit confused as to the multipassing of the data. Should I keep the groups setup the way I have them or use the select expert (etc).
Thanks, I am a newbie.

i suggest manual running totals, more accurate and if you have duplicate values the summary option will duplicate the data
create 3 formuls
i reset
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x:= 0;
this gets placed in the group header
calculate
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x:= x + field or formula;
this gets placed next to the field or formula you want calculated
display
whileprinitngrecords;
numbervar x;
x
this gets displayed in the footer of where the reset is (header)
using manual running totals, if you have data on the report you dont want included you can create a formula that will only calc based upon only what should be included.

Running Total (or) Moving Sum (or) Rollup using Date functions

I have to pass the Begin date and End date using prompt in my application (for daily basis for one month, monthly and yearly).
How can i use the date function for Rollup the days values(running total) for the below mentioned SQL
Table.Date field (@Prompt('Begin_Date','D',,mono,free) and @Prompt('End_Date','D',,mono,free)
@prompt automatically takes the begin date and end date.
I need the sql for rollup(running total) on daily basis for one month say jan 1 to jan 31.
Any idea?

Check the Oracle on-line documentation on the ROLLUP option of the GROUP BY clause. It should be able to give you running totals.
