Stored Procdure date range problem

Hi All,
My Vendor created a Stored procedure which asks for a date range when first creating a standard report. Once the date range is entered then I select which data fields I want to display, etc. Once in the report, I can see the parameter fields, but they have a [?] with a weird little yellow icon, and I cannot see the parameter fields in the parameter tab. My users need to be able to change the date range in InfoView, but since there isn't a date range parameter, they cannot, and I also cannot get it to show up in the report in CR 2008. The only time I can get the date range entered is when creating a report, here is the procedure that the vendor gave me:
XSAC_GET_TEST_COUNT
                      ( P_REPORT_CURSOR IN OUT XSAC_REPORTS.TEST_COUNT_VIEW_TYPE,
                        P_START_DATE     IN DATE ,
                        P_END_DATE       IN DATE )
Not sure how to fix this, and neither does the Vendor, although they created it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I have other reports where I have successfully created a date range parameter, and they work fine, this is my first time with a stored procedure. and it asking for a date range when selecting the data source. Not from a date field in the report

Hi All,
I found the problem,
The first Option is: Show on (Viewer) Panel, it was set to Do Not Show . So it was hidden.
I changed it Editable and it works fine.
Hopefully this will help someone in the future.

Date range problem (bubble chart)

In my bubble chart on X axis Iu2019m displaying date range I have two parameters start_date and end_date in Crystal 2008 this range is displaying correct but in my web app not. In web app this range is displaying from 01-01-1970 to 01-01-1970 (but Iu2019m setting them from 01-09-2009 to 31-12-2009). Iu2019m sure that the parameters start and end date is set correct (I display this parameter in other place and date is correct). I'm doing this in JSF (IceFaces) and I'm using "reportPageViewer".
What could be wrong?

The dates you are seeing are the default values. Check your code again, I don't believe you are setting them correctly.

How do I modify an event's date range?

I recently imported a series of photos from my camera, entering both an event name and description for the event. All photos but one were from this event. After deleting that single photo, the date range displayed underneath the event name still displays a range which includes the date from that single image. So now, even though all the images in the event are from the same day, the date of the event does not accurately depict this. How do I modify the date range?

This doesn't address the date range problem which no amount of Adjusting Date and Time or Batch Changing will fix, instead LarryHN workaround seems to work great. I imported over 11,000 photos into 08 and lots of them had a date range from 98 to 2001. The Batch Rename fixed all but one batch whichb just would not budge until Larry's workaround with the new Event method.

Pass date range parameter to SQL stored procedure.

Hi,
I'd like to pass a date range parameter from Crystal Reports to a sql stored procedure. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I've had no problem passing standard datetime (single value) paramaters to and from but am struggling with getting a range value parameter to work.
Environment: Crystal Reports 10/XI and SQL 2000 MSDE version or SQL 2005 Express Edition.
Any help would be appreciated.

> And then these 2 formulas 'Formula # 1' and 'Formula # 2' can be used to pass on to the stored procedure.
Can someone please demonstrate exactly how to use formula results as date parameters to a SQL stored procedure? Keep in mind, there are two parameters to the stored procedure.
I have gleaned this much: Use Add Command and insert the procedure with
EXEC ServerName.dbo.usp_sprocName;1 '{?StringParameter}'
but if I try to do
{CALL ServerName.dbo.usp_SprocName({@Formula1},{@Formula2})}
then it gives the error "No value given for one or more required parameters".
Both of the parameters are VARCHAR(50).
I have finally found this link: [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx]
This Microsoft site defines the format of the ODBC escape sequences, but I still do not know how to convince Crystal to insert it's parameter results or formula results.

Date range query problem in report

Hi all,
I have created a report based on query and i want to put date range selection but query giving problem.
If i am creating select list selection then it is working fine means it will display all records on the particular date.
But what i need is that user will enter date range as creation_date1,creation_date2 and query should return all the records between these date range. i want to pass it by creating items, i created two items and passing creation_date range to display all records but not displaying and if not passing date then should take null as default and display all records
Here is the query:

Hi User....
Here is some date range SQL that my teams uses with some success:
For date columns that do not contain NULL values, try this (note the TRUNC, it might help with your "today" problem).
The hard coded dates allow users to leave the FROM and TO dates blank and still get sensible results (ie a blank TO date field asks for all dates in the future.
AND TRUNC(DATE_IN_DATABASE)
BETWEEN
decode( :P1_DATE_FROM,
TO_DATE('01-JAN-1900'),
:P1_DATE_FROM)
AND
decode( :P1_DATE_TO,
TO_DATE('31-DEC-3000'),:
:P1_DATE_TO)
For date columns that contain NULL values, try this (a little bit trickier):
AND nvl(TRUNC(DATE_IN_DATABASE),
decode( :P1_DATE_FROM,
decode( :P1_DATE_TO,
TO_DATE('30-DEC-3000'),
NULL),
NULL)
BETWEEN
decode( :P1_DATE_FROM,
TO_DATE('01-JAN-1900'),
:P1_DATE_FROM)
AND
decode( :P1_DATE_TO,
TO_DATE('31-DEC-3000'),
:P1_DATE_TO)
Note the 30-DEC-3000 versus 31-DEC-3000. This trick returns the NULL dates when the FROM and TO date range items are both blank.
I hope this helps.
By the way, does anyone have a better way of doing this? The requirement is given a date column in a database and a FROM and a TO date item on a page,
find all of the dates in the database between the FROM and TO dates. If the FROM date is blank, assume the user want all dates in the past (excluding NULL dates). If the TO date is blank, assume that the user wants all of the dates in the future (excluding NULL dates). If both FROM and TO dates are blank, return all of the dates in the databse (including NULL dates).
Cheers,
Patrick

Oracle 10g - Problem with Date Ranges using Between

I am keeping track of patients who have not been contacted during a date range. if a nurse adds an event or note and the note is type 1,3,4 then this is a contact. The following works but if the event or note was made on the same day as the report is run, the current contact is not printed. Any help to improve the query and identify the problem would be appreciated. Also, if you add '1' to' n.created_date_time BETWEEN '10-Jan-2010' AND TRUNC(SYSDATE)' so it is ' n.created_date_time BETWEEN '10-Jan-2010' AND TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 1'. It works. What is wrong?
SELECT upper(symptom_text),
COUNT(UNIQUE(c.patient_id)) ,
COUNT(UNIQUE(
CASE
    WHEN e.eventdate BETWEEN '10-Jan-2010' AND TRUNC(SYSDATE)
    OR (n.created_date_time BETWEEN '10-Jan-2010' AND TRUNC(SYSDATE)
    AND n.note_type_id                                             IN (1,3,4))
    THEN c.patient_id
    ELSE 0
END)) - 1
FROM patient c,
cust_info ci,
event e,
note n
WHERE c.physician_id = 74
AND c.patient_id      = ci.patient_id
AND ci.info_type_id    = 32
AND ci.symptom_text      IS NOT NULL
AND c.patient_id      = e.patient_id(+)
AND c.patient_id      = n.pk_id(+)
AND n.table_name(+)    = 'patient'
GROUP BY upper(symptom_text)
ORDER BY DECODE(upper(symptom_text), 'A+', 1, 'A', 2, 'B', 3, 'C', 4, 'D', 5, 99)I suspect the end date is not inclusive. Fields are Date data types. Thanks for any help.

Hi,
achtung wrote:
Understood. Frank was correct. Do you mean about the dates? Is that issue solved now?
It would help a lot if you posted some sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data. Simplify as much as possible. For example, if everything involving the e and n tables is working correctly, forget about them for now. Post a question that only invloves the c and ci tables.
But, additionally, when a record in the cust_info doesn't exist my contact count is inaccurate. How can you explain this conceptually. I understand the query path is checking for this record due to the predicate. Perhaps the query should be redesigned. Thanks for your input!Again, you can see the results, and you know what they should be. Nobody else has that information. Please post some sample data and the results you want from that data.
In your earlier message you said
Could there be a problem if a record does not exist in the ci table?The condition:
AND ci.symptom_text IS NOT NULL
filters for this right? Maybe this could be part of the problem. why I'm not seeing records when a note is added to a patient's doc. How would this be technically be explained? You're doing a inner join between c and ci:
    AND c.patient_id      = ci.patient_id
    AND ci.info_type_id   = 32
    AND ci.symptom_text   IS NOT NULL ...Rows from c will be included only if there is a row in ci with the same patiend_id: even more, that matching row in ci must also have info_type_id=32 in a non-NULL symptom_text, otherwise, the row from c will be ignored.
If you want rows from c to be included even if there is no matching row in ci, then do an outer join, like you're already doing with the e and n tables:
WHERE c.physician_id = 74
    AND c.patient_id         = ci.patient_id (+)
    AND ci.info_type_id (+) = 32
    AND ci.symptom_text (+) IS NOT NULL
    AND c.patient_id         = e.patient_id(+)
    AND c.patient_id         = n.pk_id(+)
    AND n.table_name(+)      = 'patient'

Problem with customer exit variable on date range

Hi All,

Earlier its working fine and from yesterday onwards it is not working properly. yesday onwards default date range was not displaying in selection screen.
Wht would be the problem.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Ashish,
I checked every thing what u told earlier. Every thing is fine.
And another thing is
I have routine in infopackage level. Since day before yesterday it was working fine and yesterday onwards it was not working.
Eg: budat will take the data based on routine for the week. But yesterday onwards it is not picking up the data.however I have the data in datasource for the week.
Wht would be the problem. I debuged the code and its working fine.

Query problem with date range

I have a query that needs to pull data between a date range.
I've tried several things and nothing seems to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the code:
<cftransaction>
<cfquery name="QryFollowUp"
datasource="NBProdReports">
SELECT TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.User_ID,
TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.Contract_Number,
TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.Transaction_Type,
TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.Notes,
TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.Num_Checks_Trans,
TblMasterTrans.Date_Opened
from TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable ,tblMasterTrans
WHERE Transaction_Type = 'FollowUp'
And TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.Task_Number =
tblMasterTrans.Task_Number
And TblMasterTrans.Date_Opened BETWEEN #form.StartDate# AND
#form.EndDate#
ORDER BY TblMasterTrans.Date_Opened ASC,
TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.User_id ASC
</cfquery>
</cftransaction>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, why are you using a <cftransaction...> around a
single select query?
It should be unnecessary.
This is probably not helpful to your original question. There
is
nothing obviously wrong with your query at least to my glance
through.
Thus this important question, the one without which you are
unlikely to
get any helpful advice, "How does this not work?" Error
Messages? No
Data? Wrong Data? Serves you coffee instead of tea?
It would also probably be helpful to know how your date data
is
represented in the database and the form controls, depending
on what
your difficulties are.

How would you send a date-range parameter to a SQL sproc?

Team,
MY ENVIRONMENT
SQL 2005, Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005
MY PROBLEM
I am authoring both a sproc and a report, so I have full control over the design. I am a SQL expert and also a Crystal 8.5 expert.
I have done the Sproc-Report connection dozens of times.
Please consider along with me the sequence of creating a report based on a parameterized stored procedure.
My sproc header is shown here:
CREATE Procedure dbo.usp_DocumentActivityReport(
     @Department NVARCHAR(50)
   , @DateRange NVARCHAR(50)
) AS
SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3 FROM #TEMP
MY THOUGHT PROCESS
@DEPARTMENT is a string. That's easy.
@DATERANGE is a DATE RANGE and I don't know how to get Crystal Reports to prompt for a date range, so I used a String parameter knowing I can parse a specially formatted string, and knowing that I can use a formula to compute the string.
Step 1. Create the blank report, the {?Department} parameter, the {?CreationDateRange} report parameter, and the {@DateRangeText} conversion formula that converts {?CreationDateRange} to the specially formatted string.
Step 2. Test the stored procedure.
Tests pass; It returns data when I run it with values, with zero-length string values, and with NULL values.
Step 3. Tie the report to the stored procedure.
Adding the sproc directly creates two hard-wired, undeletable parameters, and returns data columns. That's no good because the user must supply the specially formatted string for the date range. So, I try using Add Command instead, with this syntax:
{call "EXP_TEST"."dbo"."usp_CorroDocumentActivityReport" (N'{?Department}', N'{@DateRangeText}')}
This code is accepted, but Add Command did not create any undeletable parameters at all. I guess that's OK.
But the worst part is that it does not show any output columns with data either! AAARGH!
Please assist with showing me the proper order to do these steps.
BTW, here's the VB Syntax formula for {@DateRangeText}:
Dim min As String
dim max as String
if HasLowerBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then
min = ToText(Minimum({?CreationDateRange}),"MM/dd/yyyy")
else
max = ""
end if
if HasUpperBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then
max = ToText(Maximum({?CreationDateRange}),"MM/dd/yyyy")
else
max = ""
end if
if IncludesLowerBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then
min = "[" & min
else
   if HasLowerBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then min = "(" & min
end if
if IncludesUpperBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then
    max = max & "]"
else
   if HasUpperBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then max = max & ")"
end if
'formula = min & "..." & max
formula = "(1/1/2009...3/1/2009)"

Getting date range in Find User Form

Hello experts,Actually my goal is to get list of users having termination date within date range.But here my problem is when i added this business logic in Find user form which does loop on all users i was unable to get the list of users having termination within date range as the termination date of user object is string.
By gettting problem in the above way we tried to query date attribute of the task property of user object which is set with the value of termintion date when the user is created.The task property code is given below
<Properties>
<Property name='tasks'>
<List>
<Object name='Conseco Account Termination Date'>
<Attribute name='date' value='01/10/2008'/>
<Attribute name='task' value='Conseco Account Termination Date'/>
</Object>
<Object name='Sunset Date'>
<Attribute name='date' value='2/22/2008'/>
<Attribute name='task' value='Sunset Date'/>
</Object>
</List>
</Property>
</Properties>
Could anyone help me in referring the date attribute of 'Conseco Account Termination Date' property

Because the date is stored as a string, you'll need to use a different format. Use yyyy/MM/dd. You can use the stringToDate and dateToString methods.

No Data in Reports Details in Custom date range

Hello, iTunes U Public Site Manager Admins.
As the iTunes U Public Site Manager admin, I've been trying to access our institution's iTunes U Reports Details for a couple of days. (I send a monthly report of usage to our course/collection contributors.) When I custom the date range, under Details, there is zero entry; "No data available in table" message is shown.
This feature had been working well since Apple iTunes U added this enhancement on August 13, 2013. The report Details showed the exact stats for Browse, Subscribe, Download, Stream, and Enclosure for each course/collection in the custom date range.
Now under "Details", the data is shown only when the date range is Last 30 Days. It shows no data in custom date range when the Calendar is used to select a Start Date and End Date.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
Thanks.
Q. Wang

Erik.
I used your suggestion and it worked very well. This is how I did it.
Export the range of data that includes Feb. 1-Feb. 28, 2014 as .tsv file.
Open that file in Excel.
Add a blank column next to the Date column. Use function =Month() to just extract the month into the new column. Fill down the whole column. Then copy and paste special (value) into the same column (I have over 26,000 rows of data in the file.) Converting to Value will allow for the next step of PivotTable.
Create a PivotTable for the 26,000 rows of data. Use Month as the Report filter, iTunes_ID as the Row Labels, Select Browse, Subscribe, etc. as the Sum Values. (The result is a summary table with about 200 rows.)
I then do a Vlookup to my premade Master file to add Category (course, collection, resources) and Instructor Name to each of the 200 rows.
That will do it for my monthly report.
Thanks for your tip again. I did not know the .tsv file would have DATE for each item.
Sincerely,
Q. Wang

How to create a date range in Web Application Designer

I am using 3.1 version of Web App Designer. I need to create a report with date ranges. I can get one date to work but not two (I need a start date and end Date). My Query has 0CALMONTH with a variable for Interval. When I select it as a dropdown (??) in Web App Designer, I only get one date prompt in web app designer.
Any suggestions??
Thanks
Kristen

Support date range and as of date in Universe

Hi,
I have some questions on Universe design best practices. Can you please help ?
We are using BO4 SP7 and UDT for universe design.
Little bit on our schema: snow flake schema with multiple fact tables. Most of our table are 'Pure Type 6' dimension tables in which start date and end date are used to track historical data. We also have date dimension table. We want to support both 'As of date' and custom 'date range' type reporting.
Out typical use cases are like
1. All items As of date
2. All items between dates etc.
How can we model it in the Universe ?
1. We can not join every dimension with date_d dimension. So we have decided to put default conditions at Folder level. Our typical date conditions as below.
date_d.end_full_date_utc between diminetion1_d.start_date AND diminetion1_d.end_date
But problem is, table condition are not always applied. If we have A, B and C folders and if I create report by using objects from A and C then non of the condition applied to B appears in the query. This is problem for us.
2. Other approach we thought is to define start and end prompt and define a restriction condition for each and every table.
diminetion1_d.start_date > [start_date_prompt] AND diminetion1_d.end_date < [end_date_prompt]
We thought it will be too munch work as we have more than 150 tables and also 2 prompts will always appear, even of as of date, which may not look good.
3. Is there a way apply to apply these date conditions at the individual table level so that they will appear in Query when ever the table is involved in the join path ?
3. What is the best way to handle this kind of requirements, please suggest ?
Thanks
