This Month - This Year expression

Hi,
I need to setup an expression (which will colour some numbers) according to whether the numbers are earlier than what the time dimension is showing for each line - fx.
200908            10.000,-
200912            20.000,-
201409            10.000,-    (this should be colour - as the number is in the current month - current year))
I know how to setup an expression in the font - but I can't figure out how to setup up the expression for current month, current year - when my time dimension is structured as follow (from a SSAS cube):
[Time].[YearMonth].&[200905]
Please advise

If I understand your request right you're asking how to write an expression that builds a valid value for your time dimension, based on current date? Here's what that would look like:
=Year(Today()) * 100 + Month(Today())
When ran today this results in 201409.

This Year / Last Year on Rolling 12 months

I have a requirement to create a LY vs. TY comparison report with rolling 12 months - which means, TY measure will be the fact from current date to 12 months ago and the LY measure will be from 12 months ago to 24 months ago.
I was hoping to use the AGO function to calculate the LY and create a filter in the report using - Date between (SQL_TSI_YEAR, -1, CURRENT_DATE ) and CURRENT_DATE.
But this does'nt seem to be working. The result splits the AGO measure based on the year, instead of just summing the sales amount. Would anyone have a better idea on how I can achieve this?
Prompt response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ruchi.

Thanks for your responses. I shall take a look at the blog.
Meantime, I dont have month or year on the report. The metric is supposed to be summed by the rolling 12 months. and calendar is not on the report.
Anyway by which I can create 2 different metrics for rolling 12 months as TY and from 12 to 24 months as the LY, instead of havng to create a filter on the report?
Thanks again,
Ruchi.

TimeStamp - for Today , this week , this month and year

Hello I have data in Java TimeStamp in a DB2 database.
While Acessing the data using JDBC I would need to get data based on
1/Today
2.This week
3.This Month
4.And this year
So how do I get the Timestamps for the Starting and ending Timestamps ....
i.e say Last week I would need
Present TimeStamp and Timestamp of exactly 7 days ago ....
Can you please give me an example regarding this ....

Use Timestamps as well as java.util.Calendar
And what about the hours, minutes and seconds?

Problem with bex query listing sales "this month" and "same month last year

Hi,
I've created a query in BW BEx, where I have a mandatory variable for 0calmonth, and I list 0material and sales (in volume, liter). And I have a restricted key figure giving me sales (volume in liter) restricted with 0calmonth = variable - 12, to give me the sale for the same month the user select, previous year.
This seems to be working, the sum is correct, but when adding up the number for the sales in the month previous year, the numbers does not fit the sum in the end.
I think the report only lists materials with sales the month selected in the variable, if a material has not been sold that month, but in the same month last year, it's not listed in the reports, but it's added in the sum in the end.
Example.
We have three records like this:
material - calmonth - volume
101 - 01.2010 - 5
101 - 01.2011 - 8
201 - 01.2010 - 7
The report will give the following (calmonth variable = 01.2011)
Material - volume this month - volume same month last year
101 - 8 - 5
Sum 8 - 12
Any way to solve this issue? We noticed because we run BO - Webi on top of the BEx query, and BO sum's the values per material, and in webi the report would give us the sum 8 and 5.
Any input is appreciated.
Regards,
Øystein

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
The error is that the report only seems to list materials that has been sold "this month", and if the same material was sold the same month last year, it will also list the volume for this.
But if the material is only sold in the same month last year, it's not listed in the report, but it's calculated into the sum at the end.
The report is listing material, which is why the error presents itself, as you said
Getting 8 minus 12 is correct unless you drill down by material. In that case, it should be 8 minus 5 and 0 minus 7.
The row with 0 - 7 is not shown, and my guess is that the report will only list materials that has sales this month (which has been selected in the variable)
Regards,
Øystein

ABAP Logic - This Month This Year to This Month Last Year problem

Hi All,
I have a following requirement ... the report currently compares This Month This Year to This Month Last Year. But this is not a valid comparison for the user until the end of the month is reached as only then is it comparing 2 full months. We would like to use a formula replacement path variable to work out which proportion of data we have for this month. ie. if its day 15, we have 50% of data (if there are 30 days in the month - this just an example), therefore we should only show 50% of This Month Last Years column so that the comparison between the 2 is sensical.
So I'd like the formula variable to return a ratio or percentage which I can then use in a calculated key figure in the query to pro-rata the last year data.
The query currently displays data by Fiscal Period, so when working out the ratio I would need to check which Fiscal Period we're in and also consider that the data is loaded every night, so on the 1st day of a Fiscal Period we are comparing everything up until yesterday.
Can anyone see in problem with the logic of this, or better yet, has anyone done this before and maybe has some code for me? Is there another way I could be doing this?

BI Query Monthly (this year and last year) vs YTD (this year and last year)

I have a query requirement in BI to create a Query which will give me
Sales Monthly (this year and last) vs YTD Sales (this year and last).
Here is an example of how the query would look:
01/2007     01/2008     02/2007     02/2008     03/2007     03/2008     YTD 2007 YTD 2008
Above would represent CKF's by month and YTD with Text Variables.
Is this possible? Obviously my problem is the number of columns that I would need, since I would not always be reporting on the same month(s). Any suggestions (if this is possible).
Thanks

Hi,
You can do it, see the following code and change as per your requirement...

Expression - First date and last date of current month, current year

Hi
I need to have 2 ssrs expression as I can use as default parameters in my report where I can - out from my Time dimension, get the
first date of the current, current year - and one where I get last date, current month, current year.
My data source is a SSAS cube and my timedimension is structured like this:
[Time].[Days].&[2009-01-16T00:00:00]
Any suggestions how to solve this ?

Hi ,
You can use below in Default Values in ssrs ;
for first Day of current month and year
="[Time].[Days].&[" +Format(dateadd("m",0,dateserial(year(Today),month(Today),1)), "yyyy-MM-dd")+"T00:00:00]"
output will be ;
[Time].[Days].&[2014-09-01T00:00:00]
For last day of current month and year
="[Time].[Days].&[" +Format(DateSerial(Year(Now()), Month(Now()), "1").AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1), "yyyy-MM-dd")+"T00:00:00]"
output will be ;
[Time].[Days].&[2014-09-30T00:00:00]
Please correct me if I misunderstood your requirement.

Does anyone know if Apple are planning on releasing a new version of the iPad in 2013? I want to buy one, but would rather wait to get the latest one if they are planning on a release of a newer version later this year.

BEFORE JUST REJECTING MY QUERY, AS A POTENTIALLY NEW CUSTOMER I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME FORM OF AN ANSWER!!
I want to buy an iPad (my first one), but would rather wait a couple of months to get the latest one if they are planning on a release of a newer version later this year. I certainly cannot afford to buy one now and then update when a newer model comes out, especially if it's released only a couple of months from now.

The latest one came out just 4 months ago. Doubt one is coming out soon.
There are always going to be people who are one day out of their return period when a new device comes out, and that's just that. No one can predict. And we are all just users here who would have no idea. But I would get an iPad now given the last one came out four months ago.

Starting in June of this year I had been trying to apply my company's...

Starting in June of this year I had been trying to apply my company's
Verizon discount to my account. The first time I went in the tech said that
in order to do that the account, which was in my wife's name, would need to
be switched to mine. But after doing some checking he said that wasn't
necessary and that they would send an email to my work email which would
include a link. I was to click on the link and then follow the instructions
and since this was being done from my work email the discount would be
applied to my account. I did that and naturally the discount never appeared.
I went to the store again 2 weeks later and attempted to do the same thing
and was told the computers were down and they couldn't help me.
I returned again the next day and the computers were still down. I went in
again the next day and the computers were back up and a tech tried to
change the account to my name so my company discount could be applied but
was having trouble getting the name switched. He phoned someone at Verizon
and worked with them for a while and eventually put me on the phone with
them. I gave them my information and told them what I wanted to do and
after some time with him he said that the discount had been applied. Again
the discount never appeared.
The end of August I went into the store with the intention of not only
trying to get the discount but to upgrade 2 of the 3 phones on my account.
We picked out the phones we wanted and discussed an upgrade to the account
and got all of that settled. At that time I mentioned that I wanted to
change the name on the account so I could get the discount and the tech
mumbled something and then told me that he couldn't do that. We continued
with the phone and plan upgrades and left the store. What I found out later
and what the tech failed to tell me was that Verizon was offering 1 Gig of
data per month for each upgrade, so I got 2 addition Gigs a month for free
which did show on my account summary.
The following week I again went into the store in an effort to get my
company discount. I was told again that the account name would need to be
changed to mine which I agreed to. After an hour and a half, 2 techs and 2
calls to Verizon the name was switched and the discount applied, at least
that was what I was told, I'll verify that when I receive my next bill. At
that point I asked if the 2 free gigs were shared data and was then told
that in order to change the name on the account the old account needed to
be closed and new one opened with my name and because of that any
promotions that were on the old account no longer applied. I was never told
this at any time during the process and if I had known I might not have
changed the name in order to keep the free data. This also wouldn't have
been a problem if the account had been changed any one of the 5 times I
tried to change it prior to it actually being changed. This whole ordeal is
completely unacceptable and was incredibly frustrating. I lost 2 gigs of
data, which has disappeared from my account summary and which I still feel
I'm entitled to, because of the incompetence of not only one Verizon tech
but several of them.
I am wondering if anyone at Verizon is interested in resolving this issue
by giving me the 2 gigs of data that i deserve.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Can I set up a 2 (or 3) room audio system? I have iphone 3, iphone 4 and ipad 2 and need to know what hardware, if any, I need for this (airport express?, apple TV?) Also, would I use icloud or home sharing?

I need to know what hardware, if any, I need to do this (airport express?, apple TV?)
I simply want to send music from my itunes to 2 different rooms at the same time. Is it possible? I have iphone3, iphone4 and ipad2 if that helps.
Also, would I use icloud or home sharing? Sorry for the noob question, any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

The answer is not if you use iTunes.
The TC is NOT an iTunes server.. it is not a media device at all. It is a backup location for Time Machine.
You need a computer in the network which stores the iTunes library and you can then play it via the ipad.
A mini with a large USB drive plugged in will work fine.. it doesn't need to be new.. a couple of years old mini will work just as well.
As an extention to this, can we use multiple Airport expresses plugged into mutiple sound systems to simultaneously access different music from the same time capsule?
I am not sure.. there will be network limitations to this.
Look up how to use itunes in a network.

You would do better perhaps posting the question in iTunes section.. if as I guess you are actually using iTunes.

How to calculate first date and end date of this year in Query

Hi Expert
I want to calculate following dates with inputted date in query.
I have no knowledge on ABAP and I just can create a query with simple logic.
Could you teach me how to calculate following date?
(If inputted date is April 12 2009)
- First date of this year (Ex January 1 2009)
- End date of this year (Ex December 31 2009)
- First date of last year (Ex January 1 2008)
- End date of last year (Ex December 31 2008)
- First date of this month (Ex April 1 2009)
Thank you!
Take

HR_JP_MONTH_BEGIN_END_DATE use this FM to get the begin and end date of the Date you are passing. eg when u give input as 04/12/2009, it will return
04/01/2009 as begin date
04/30/2009 as end date
pass the Year in this FM HR_E_GET_FISC_YEAR_DATES, you will get the Fiscal year Begin and End Dates

Creative MP3 players bought in this year's IT Show

Hi everyone, I've got this problem and I wish to ask if anyone of you experience this problem too..
I bought a Zen Micro 5GB black at this year's IT Show (back in March 05) and also got a 28MB Muvo Slim at the Lucky Draw. After 4 months of usage, my Zen Micro's headphone was spoilt. About 2 weeks later, my Muvo Slim headphone was also spoilt. However, the 28MB Muvo TX FM that I'd bought at last year's Comex (back in Sep 04), the headphone is working fine after almost one-year of usage. So is there some problem with the headphone that was sold in this year's IT show? And did anyone who bought their players in this year's IT show experience this too?
P.S. The Zen micro is used by my sis and I can say that she's a very careful person. I'm using both the Muvo SLim and Muvo TX FM and I've dropped the Muvo TX FM quite a few times and its still working fine whereas I've not dropped the Muvo Slim before...

Everyone Stop Worrying About The iPhone 5 It's Not Coming Out This Year!

Many have been saying, don't buy the Verizon iPhone 4 because in 6 months it will be outdated by the iPhone 5, this is completely false! Just because Apple has introduced a new iPhone every year doesn't mean it couldn't skip a year, I mean it's only happened 4 years in a row not 50. Think about it, Apple has a new product, the iPad, and with many other tablets trying to catch it, it is much more likely that this summer at the Apple Conference we will see an iPad 2 and a new software upgrade, iOS 4.5. Think about it the iPhone 4 has been the most successful iPhone to date and now they are introducing it to 93 million more people! I think they can survive a year without releasing a new iPhone. Also Apple mentioned that this iPhone didn't have 4G because of "current chip technology", do you really think they will have that all sorted out and ready to go in just 6 months?! No way! Apple cares too much about battery life, and their whole problem with 4G is that right now it uses too much battery life, so expect them to take another year to fix all that and test it out, remember AT&T doesn't even have a 4G network yet. The most you could expect is a price cut on the iPhone 4. However if by some miracle they do release a new iPhone this year it will not be what everybody is thinking, it will be like what the 3GS was to the 3G. It won't really add anything new at all, and your iPhone 4 will still be able to do everything that it can do. So don't be afraid, go buy the iPhone 4 February 10th, and 20 months later (October 2012) you can upgrade to the iPhone 4G, only 3 months after it will have come out.
Also I have been seeing threads of people saying that Verizon will get new iPhones in February and AT&T will get them during the summer before Verizon, this is also completely false, the only reason the iPhone is coming out right now is because Apple and Verizon wanted to make the iPhone available to it's customers as soon as possible, right when Apple's contract with AT&T was up. So this is just a special thing, after this new iPhone's will be released on both AT&T and Verizon at the same time during the summer.

First of all, I think we can all agree that the home button isn't going anywhere (atleast on the iphone, the screen is too small for 4/5 finger gestures, plus you wouldn't be able to use the phone with one hand anymore), not only would that be the stupidest decision ever but every website that mentions it links it back to a site called BGR which claims they got "an exclusive tip"... sure. Also have you seen the code for the new iOS 4.3? It shows the devices: iPhone 3,3 iPhone 4,1 iPhone 4,2 iPad 2,1 iPad 2,2 and iPad 2,3 don't you think that means iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 (GSM), iPhone 4 (CDMA), iPad 2 (GSM), iPad 2 (CDMA), and iPad 2 (WiFi)? Also look at the screenshot taken from the iPad, it shows that multitouch gestures are optional, how can they be optional if you lose the home button?
Anyway, even if I'm wrong about all of this, there is no point in waiting 6 months for the next iphone because it won't really be the "next" iphone it will just be a slight update like the 3GS was, and maybe not even that, and the iPhone 4 will be able to do everything that it can do, and the worse part is that you will not be able to upgrade to the "real" next iphone (2012) because you will have signed a new 2 YEAR contract! Atleast if you get the iPhone 4 on February 10th, you will be able to upgrade in 20 months (October 2012) only 3 months after the iPhone 2012 is released.
Granted removing the home button from the iPhone is a bit of a stretch but you never know with Apple. The versioning in the iOS is -1 of version of the actual hardware, iPhone 3,x (code) = iPhone 4 (hardware). iPhone 4,x (code) = iPhone 5 (hardware). If read in the engadget article it states, "two new-generation iPhones (4,1 and 4,2) and three iPads (2,1; 2,2; and 2,3)." That mean iPhone 5 and iPad 2 is coming to AT&T and Verizon
It's very plausible that it could be something like a 4GS but when Apple increments the version number by a whole number in the code it normally means a new hardware devices not an updated one.
I'm just scratching my head on why Verzion would announce the iPhone availability when the release of a new iPhone is going to happen in the matter of a few months. Why not just wait till July and announce the availability? Is it just greed or stupidity on Verizon/Apple part?
If the version of the iOS is -1 of the actual hardware, then why is the iPad 2: 2,1; 2,2; 2,3? Also, even if Apple is going to release a new iPhone in a matter of months, the reason they are releasing an iPhone 4 right now is because they wanted to start selling an iPhone on Verizon as soon as the AT&T contract was up. Why wait 6 months to make money when you can do it right now? This is also why Apple made sure that the contract they signed with Verizon was not exclusive, that way they could start selling to T-Mobile and Sprint whenever they wanted, they didn't want to make the same mistake they made with AT&T.

AGO function in OBIEE to display weekly sales data of this year vs last yea

All,
I would to create an analysis that display this year sales numbers vs last year by weekly
I was able to do this at month level by specifying the offset value to 12 to the AGO function in repository.
I am not able to do at week level.
Can someone please help?
Thanks

Check the W_DAY_D or W_WEEK_D for number of weeks per year, validate the year/4 then its leap year then 53
Use this in ago function at <<Number of Periods>>.
I think you have to go for 53 based on these tables some times 54.

Create three restricted key figures.
In one restrict month by current month.
In other use offset of -12 and -24 while restricting current month.
