Sort order help for date string in crosstab

Hello All,
I need to calculate the number of calls for service for the last 13 months. Display the number in the report footer by month and year in a grid similar to a crosstab and in ascending date sort order. 
Example: 
May 2008    1,400
Jun 2008     1,287
Jul 2008      1,290
all months through last full month 
May 2009    1,385
I can calculate the number of calls per month and display the month and year by converting the month and year to text.  However, I cannot seem to find a way to sort the month and year without some kind of on-going manual intervention.  I need to make the report maintenance free for monthly scheduled e-mail distribution in business objects enterprise.  Specified order does not work since the column headers will change each month.  It needs a sort order formula, but I am not sure how can this be done inside a cross tab? 
Any help or suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks,
Wendy Douglass

Hi,
I have a similar cross tab in my report. but only problem is grouping is done based on a parameter GroupBy, which has Day, Week, Month values.
if user selects day or week, cross tab should display column in dd/mm/yy format, if its month, MMM-yy format.
I have created a date formula ,  GroupBy = Day then Opendate
                                                   GroupBy = Week then opendate -dayofweek(opendate)+1
                                                   GroupBy = date(year(opendate),month(opendate),1)
and used this date formula as column in cross tab. I tried to format using custom date style...but its not working in cross tab.
if I use totext to format the date formula, data will not be in sorted order...ex, its showing jul-99 before jun-99
can anyone help?
Thanks in Advance,
Jyothi

  • Error: The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect

    When processing a measure group with a distinct count measure in it, i get the following error:
    "The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect."
    I have no idea what this means - any ideas?

    I had the same problem and your fix worked.  In more detail, the problematic field was contract_no.  I added a named calculation to the table in the Data Source View with the formula CHECKSUM(contract_no).  Then I created the distinct count measure on that named calculation.  And, lo and behold, the errors disappeared! 
    Thank you to Frank.

  • Can Reminders in ML sort/order items per dates?

    Can Reminders in ML sort/order items per dates?   It was possible when it was part of Calendar  in its previous incarnation.  Doing it manually is a drag (no pun intended).  Seeing uncompleted reminders as well as what is imminent, without sifting through the whole list would be very useful.

  • Validation For Date,String and Date in a reports Region

    Apex 4
    Good day to all apex users How do I validate a apex_item.text if the value is string the user can only input a string value if it is number then the user can input numbers only and if it is a date the user can only input a date values?

    APEX_ITEMS are not part of the default apex gui... In fact they are just functions which returns html.
    You can however do some stuff with the attributes parameters. You can find some cool stuff over here: Re: Validation For Date,String and Date in a reports Region
    If you want apex validation you need to create a page validation and loop over your apex_items with apex_application.g_f0x

  • Problems with F4 help for dates

    Hi all.
    In a redesign project we use a new structure for the bsp pages. Since the redesign every F4 help for dates is giving us a java script error.
    Row:      689
    Column: 3
    Error:     'document.all.sapDate.style' is NULL or no object
    Code:    0
    URL:      http://<server>:<port>/wbw(bD1..)/main.do
    In the first version it was a view with some page fragments included containing the F4 helps.
    The new application is a main view containing a changing view over command <bsp:call comp_id="...
    Does the difference in place used matter?
    I also removed the attribute themeRoot from <htmlb:content ...
    Thanks for every hint,

    I have exactly the same problem, someone can tell me how to fix it please ?

  • F4 help for date field in ITS

    hi all;
    I was working on ESS Leave Request, i am using the standard program SAPMWS20000081H and the service template WS20000081.
    Now in the EP view i am unable to get the F4 help for the date field 'Absence From' & 'Absence To'. i have checked the data element used it is 'DATS'.
    How to get the F4 help in the view, please help me its of high priority.

    Hi, I can tell you what we have done.  I can see that the original template displays the "Absence from" field this way :
    <tr>     <td>`SAP_TemplateEditableField("FromDay", fieldLabel=ABSENCEFROM030150.label, fieldLabelWidth="170", name="ABSENCEFROM030150", value=ABSENCEFROM030150, size="10", maxlength="10", marginTop=9, inspectionText=ABSENCEFROMDAY,  align="",
    required="", width="", onchange="update_checkn(this.SAP_value, this)" )` </td>
         </tr>
    We modified the template to display it like this :
    <tr><td> `SAP_Field("ABSENCEFROM030150","ABSENCEFROM030150", DynproLabelWidth="170")` </td></tr>
    We did the same for ABSENCETO040150. So you can play around with the template to generate the F4 button. ( Note that we also added the ~webgui parameter in the service file and set it to 1, this in order to generate the calendar ). Good luck !

  • Help for date compare in sqlite?

    Hi all,
          How to decide a date is between two date or not? for example, I want to query the tasks in the next week from the sqlite db, how to do?
            SELECT  * FROM TASK_TD WHERE TASK_DATE > NOW AND TASK_DATE < NEXTWEEK_DATE
        That does not work!
       Anybody can help me？Thanks a lot.
    David

    If you're using ActionScript (Flex or Flash) for your database, you could also declare your columns as "Date" (i.e. the ActionScript Date class). AIR has added support for Date as a recognized data type in its SQLite implementation:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/localDatabaseSQLSupport.html#columnAffinity
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/localDatabaseSQLSupport.html#additionalSQL
    By using statement parameters to pass in Date data the ActionScript Date objects are converted when you insert data, and when you retrieve data it automatically comes back as ActionScript Date objects.
    Internally in the database, the Date values are stored as SQLite REAL (Unix epoch format) so date comparisons should work fine. For instance, if you want to find all rows with a date in a certain range, you could use this SQL:
    SELECT *
    FROM mytable
    WHERE datecolumn BETWEEN :startdate AND :enddate
    Then you'd need to specify the :startdate and :enddate values as parameters:
    sqlStatement.parameters[":startdate"] = new Date(2000, 3, 15);
    sqlStatement.parameters[":enddate"] = new Date(2005, 6, 13);
    2. Add a custom SQLite function for this purpose (see more about it in http://sqlite.org/cintro.html under 'Extending SQLite' section). Note that in such case you'll suffer slow performance if you have large tables (since dates are not indexed correctly).
    Unfortunately AIR doesn't support custom functions in SQLite.
