SQL Calendar using multiple date columns

Is there any way to have a Calendar look at more than one date column? I know that it is possible to have the calendar based on a range/interval, but I need to display multiple date columns e.g. Marketing Start Date and Sales Start Date. In the Calendar component it seems possible to only choose one 'Date Column'. Has anyone come across this or know of any workaround?

Any examples of a data template using multiple data sources?

I'm looking for an example report using multiple data sources. I've seen one where they do a master/detail but I'm just looking to combine results in sorted order (sorted across all data sources). The master/detail used a bind variable to link the two defined queries, I'm thinking what I want won't have that, so I'm lost on how to make that happen. I have reports using multiple sql queries and there is a way in the data source pulldown to tell it to combine the data sources. It appears to be a more manual process with data templates, if it's even possible.
Any pointers/links would be appreciated.

Hi Vetsrini :
That's just it. Mine is simpler than that. There is no master/detail relationship between the two queries. I have the same exact query that I run in two databases and I want to merge the results (ordered, by, say eventTime) in one report. So I think my results are going to be two separate groups (one for each data source) which I'll have to let BI merge vis XSLT or whatever it uses. That's fine for small result sets but for larger ones, it would be nice if the database did the sorting/merging.

How to load data into Planning/Essbase from multiple data column

Dear All,
I have a interface file which contains multiple data column as follows.
Year,Department,Account,Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec
FY10,Department1,Account1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
FY10,Department2,Account1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
FY10,Department3,Account1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
I created a data rule to load these interface file.
I want to use ODI to upload this interface. I try to specify the rule name in ODI and run the interface.
But, it came out following errors.
2010-02-22 11:40:25,609 DEBUG [DwgCmdExecutionThread]: Error occured in sending record chunk...Cannot end dataload. Analytic Server Error(1003014): Unknown Member [FY09,032003,910201,99,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] in Data Load, [1] Records Completed
Any idea to fix the column, I sure the member name is correct as I can load data from data load rule correctly.
Thanks

Dear John,
I updated the data load rule delimter to "," and found different error message as follows.
'A910201.99','HSP_InputValue','HKDepart','No_WT','032003','NO_Lease','FY09','Actual','Final','Local','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','Cannot end dataload. Analytic Server Error(1003014): Unknown Member [0] in Data Load, [1] Records Completed'
It seems that the data load rule can recognize the some member except the figures of Jan to Dec..
thanks for your help

How to use multiple data controls in a single JSF page

Hi,
I am using Essbase Data Control to in my project to get Essbase Cube data into ADF table/Pivot Table.
Suppose if [Item] dimension has this hierarchy [category] -> [Segment] -> [Brand] -> - [Item]
I need to display Category in one column and Segment in the next Column and [Brand] in the another column.
Different types of Category, Segment and Brands should display as table data(data values).
Using MDX query I can not print [Item] hierarchy in different columns..so I am planning to use multiple data controls.
Could any body help me to get the solution.

Hi,
sounds like you want to try the Pivot table
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/apirefs.1111/e12418/tagdoc/dvt_pivotTable.html
I don't think that multiple Data Controls is the solution to the problem

Multiple Data Columns in one report column

How do I list multiple columns returned from a select vertically within one report column. For instance, I have three statuses for a project that I want to list, I'd like to list the three statuses within one status column. I remember seeing this somewhere but cannot find it now. Example:
Status Column
Budget: Green
Schedule: Red
Issues: Yellow

additionally you could use HTML expressions. When editing your report, click on the column you want to use for displaying multiple data columns. This will take you to the report columns attributes page, there you can type in something like the following into the HTML expression field, referencing other report columns using #COLUMN_NAME# substitutions:
#BUDGET#
#SCHEDULE#
#ISSUES#
this is assuming your column aliases are named BUDGET, SCHEDULE and ISSUES. You can then just hide the columns that you don't want to see because the data is already shown using the HTML expression.

Marc

Loading multiple data columns in reserved sign

Hello,
Is there a setting to load multiple data columns in reserved sign?
Thanks,

Hi Liana,
To use that formula, you should use CONVERTAMOUNTWDIM option.
This options default value is Account dimension but if you want to use different dimension, you should use that dimension name. I guess Building A_65432 is not an account member then you should use below option in the transformation file.
CONVERTAMOUNTWDIM = dimension name
This option specifies which dimension to look at for value calculations. You must specify a dimension conversion sheet using the Amount Conversion option. For more information about conversion files, see Data Conversion Maintenance. If there is no formula in the Formula column of the Amount conversion sheet, this parameter has no effect. For example, if the Formula column has the following formula: <value>1.10, all accounts are increased by 10% during the conversion.
I hope it will help you.
Regards,
James Lim

Question on Multiple Date columns

Hello all,
I have like 7 to 10 fact tables . In each fact table I have one date column..Some facts have 2 or 3 date columns
for example , I have Activations Fact table in which I have Disconnect_Date and Activation_Date...both should be joined to Date_Dim
Since , I can't join 2columns from one table to single Date Dim on date_key . I created a alias for Date dim , 1 for Activation_date and the other for Disconnect_date
Some other fact tables have only one date column . So, i joined all of them to single Date Dim
Now , In the subject area I will have some facts joined to one Date Dim and Some facts which have multiple date columns joined to their particular alias Date dims...
like ....
Subject Area:
Fact1 (with single date column joined to Date Dim)
Fact2 ( " )
Fact3 ( " )
Fact4 ( " )
Date Dim (joined to fact1,2,3,4)
ActivationsFact5 ( fact with 2 date columns)
Activation_Date ( joined to activationsfact5 on activation_date)
Disconnect_Date ( joined to activationsfact5 on disconnect_date)
I have like this...As I know which date dim is joined to what fact I can create reports
But other users who doesnt have idea on it...may create a report joining activationsfact with Date Dim ,which are not joined
To avoid this condition , the only way I see is to create aliases of Date Dim for all the facts like Fact1,Date Dim1,Fact2,Date Dim2 like that
But , I am concerned about creating so many date dims in the rpd. And creating hierarchies for them.
Does anyone have idea on how to handle this ?? Please help
Thanks,
Siri

Instead of creating aliases of Date Dim for every fact table , do u think its better to train users ?

DRAG & DROP IN SQL CALENDAR USING TIMESTAMP COLUMN

Hi there,
I'm having a difficulty with the drag & drop process in my sql calendar. The defalult code has been mentioned before as:
declare
l_date_value varchar2(32767) := apex_application.g_x01;
l_primary_key_value varchar2(32767) := apex_application.g_x02;
begin
update EMP set HIREDATE = to_date(l_date_value,'YYYYMMDD HH24MISS')
where ROWID = l_primary_key_value;
end;
My sql calendar query though, has not a simple date column, but a TIMESTAMP column used in the Date value attribute.The APPOINTMENTID is my primary key column of APPOINTMENTS table as you can see and of course the APP_TIMESTAMP column as my Date Column (which in my database schema is created by the "merging" of my APP_DATE & APP_TIME columns ):
SELECT APPOINTMENTID,DECODE(APP_STATUS,'0','#005C09','1','#EF5800','2','#000099','3','purple')COLOR,
(TO_CHAR(APP_TIMESTAMP,'HH24:MI')||' / '||(SELECT LAST_NAME||' '||FIRST_NAME
FROM PATIENTS C
WHERE C.PAT_ID = A.PAT_ID)||' / '||UPPER(APP_DESCR)||' / '||APP_TEL_NO) APP_ROW,
APP_TIMESTAMP
FROM APPOINTMENTS A, PATIENTS C
WHERE C.PAT_ID(+) = A.PAT_ID
So far, in my on demand process i have written the code shown below and the result is just the dragging functionality:
declare
l_date_value varchar2(32767) := apex_application.g_x01;
l_primary_key_value varchar2(32767) := apex_application.g_x02;
begin
update APPOINTMENTS
set APP_TIMESTAMP = to_date(l_date_value,'DD/MM/RRRR HH24MI')
where APPOINTMENTID = l_primary_key_value;
end;
Any suggestion is welcome,
Thanks

Hi,
I just found a solution. I implemented for each column an own event-handler. Therefore I can assign the excercise to the right column.
Has anybody else a better solution?

Which type of index is useful for date columns with time stamp

Hi all,
I am using date column in the where clause of an SQL Query. The values stored in the date column are includes timestamp. The query is very slow and there is no index on the date column.
Can any body suggest which index is better on date columns
Thanks

I am using date column in the where clause of an SQL Query.Dates a re hard queries to tune. This ...
WHERE start_date BETWEEN to_date('01-SEP-05') AND to_date('02-SEP-05')...probably requires a very different execution plan to this...
WHERE start_date BETWEEN to_date('01-JAN-01') AND to_date('02-SEP-05')Just bunging an index on the date column may speed up your specific query but break something else. So be careful.
Cheers, APC

Odbc Driver error when using specific date column

I am receiving the this error:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error DetailsError Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46036] Internal Assertion: Condition len <= desc->objectLength_, file ..\Oci8\Src\SQXDGOci8.cpp, line 614. (HY000)
It happens when I try to to set criteria on a specific date column or I do not set criteria at all. If I set date column 1 to greater than 4 or so months back the report returns, along with all the dates from date column 2. But if I then try to set date column 2 as the criteria, no matter if I just ask for data from a week until today, I receive this error. I tried changing the Server Stack size to 512, but that did not help. Anyone have an idea on this???

You seem to be using an ODBC connection with an Oracle database, is that correct? If so you should install the Oracle client and use the OCI driver instead and it is much faster and stable than ODBC.

Grouping of chracateristics by using dynamic data columns

Hi all,
I want to create a BPS Layout (BW3.5) with the material in the lead column and a KeyFigures, the year and the salesgroup in the data column. The salesgroup is the dynamic characteristic.
Example:
I want to have:
SG1 2007/ SG1 2008/ SG2 2007/ SG2 2008...
What the system is doing is:
SG1 2007/ SG2 2007/ SG1 2008/ SG2 2008
My question is: how can I change the grouping of the columns from year to salesorg?
Can anybody help me?
Best regards,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,
Thanks for your appreciation.
I thought there is not material in your lead column, okay if your case like that i suggest you like this.
I suggest to .
To choose Layout Category:
1. Key Figures in Data Column
Define data column dynamically for : Sales Group
And make the fiscal year, and material as lead column.
In the data column tab, define the key-figures there and mark Dynamic checkbox.
Or if you want to group based on the fiscal year, you can make the fiscal year as you dynamic data column.
Hopefully it can help you a lot.
Best regards,
Niel.
thanks for the points you choose to assign.

Multiple Date columns in one fact table

hi ,
I have a fact which related to multi date, like bid date, win date, lost date ,etc...,
I have create dimension like dim_bid_date, dim_win_date,
but if I wan to create a report , the value sum by the month (2012.01-2012.08), I don't know how to do in one report which related multi date.
I think I should have a 'common date', how to do, can anyone explain it in detail. thanks.

2 thinks here, do you want to reports based on bid date,win date, lost date etc?
if yes you need to create those many date logical tables and you need to have in Subject area (something like 'Agreement Details' subject area if you have OOB rpd)
Coming to your report requirement 'sum by the month'; I dont think this is complete report requirement, you need to know month type like bid month or win month or lost month or what!!
if user dont want do report by those mentioned dates then just use just date of type( bid,win etc) with out using day dim;
you might have some date like created date, create report based on that for sum by the month.
Hope this helps, if helps pls mark

Using multiple dates in WHERE clause

I have a multiple select box in a form. I am trying to select
records in SQL using the list that this form field produces. They
are dateTime values. How do I use this list in the WHERE clause of
my select statement?

Man, I really hate posting anywhere near Dan - I've been
watching his mastery for years. (Talk about the big leagues) But
here goes anyway...
I've gotten my little behind kicked by more than a view date
issues, and I have basically gotten away from exact matches (unless
you really need them).
I'd probably do something like this:
SELECT field1,field2...
WHERE datetime_column_in_db > (OR LTE,OR GT/LT)
'#datetimeformatyoulike(form.datetimevalue1)#
Basically, finding records in RELATION to the form's datetime
value has always been much easier for me.
And God (and Dan) have mercy on my soul...

Using multiple data points in an item renderer?

I have a datagrid, bound to data from an XML file. My XML has
multiple items,such as:
<book>
<title></title>
<author></author>
<description></description>
<cover>someimage.jpg</cover>
</book>
I need to display each book as a unit, something like:
[image] Moby Dick
Herman Melville
A long book about a whale.
How would I accomplish this? Obviously, I can easily display
the discrete info in columns, but I'd like to lay it out as one
unit.
Thanks.

Use a list control instead of a datagrid. Then use a custom
item renderer based on HBox or VBox depending on your preference
for horizontal or vertical layout... possibly even just a Box
control so you can change it at your whim.

SQL Developer Not displaying Date columns

I installed SQL Developer on my machine today and when i query for data I don't find any value in the columns which are of DATE datatype.
For Eg if i says select * from dual; i get null as output.
Can anyone confirm if this is happening to you also or if there is some problem with my installation.

Dates work fine for me.
What value do you get for your NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter with the following query:
select parameter, value from nls_session_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_DATE_FORMAT';
You can change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT as in the following example:
alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-Mon-YYYY';
Also, the column in the dual table is not actually in date format - try "select sysdate from dual;" instead.
