This year compared to previous year

I want to compare this year's result with that of last year. To do so the user selects a week and gets that weeks figures together with the results of the same week in the year before. Also I need to present the figures for the period that week belongs to and the same for the year before. Here the AGO function will do the work.
The problem is, that if the selected week is in a period that is still open, the comparison to last year's period will not be correct , because that period has data for all its weeks and this year has not. So I want to exclude the weeks from last year's period for which I do not have data in this year yet. Or in other words, I only want to look to the date up to the same relative weeknumber in this and last year. How can this be done? I don't think the AGO and TODATE functions will help me out here.
As far as I understand it, the AGO function gives the figures of the entire period of the yer befor and not just up to the same relative week in the year. And the TODATE function rolls up the figures up to the period the selected week belongs to.
Please advice

Thanks for the response.
I'm not sure this approach will help because it looks like you're calculating the region sales as a percentage of all sales for the year. What I need is the percentage change in sales from year to year for the same region. I think the following example will help:
      2008   2009    2010
East $100   $150    $100
              50%    -50%

Activity prices are not matching compare to previous year

Dear Sap Guru's,
Activity prices are not matching for the year 09 compare to 08.But standard cost estimation is correct.how it is possible.can you guide me how system calculates activity prices.
Ex: My client having business in egypt.Last year they started thier business at this time activity prices are maintained for INDO OH :13.81, Labur 0.44 per Min plan price 1.It is common for whole year -08.
Now I copied the same activity prices for this year through kp97 by selecting object currency for both plan and cost.under planning currency tab.
Activity prices are showing for IND oh is 17.14 ; instead of 13.81 and labour it is showing 0.55 instead of 0.44.
Pls guide me.
Regards
KUMAR.

Hi,
guess you are using a controlling area currency (A) thats different from company code currency (B).
First check if the prerequisites within KP97 / button "planning currencies" are met when ticking "object currency" and using the F1-help especially the point
"It only makes sense to activate this indicator if you have activated all
currencies
1. when copying: in the source and target versions".
Whatever the reason is, your KP97 copy did the following thing:
For each CO area and plan version there are settings for each fiscal year to be made (IMG: Controlling / General Controlling / Organization / maintain versions, mark the relevant version choose "Controlling area settings", mark it again and choose "settings for ecah fiscal year".
Compare your 2 fiscal years, which exchange rate type (can be different, normally its "P") and value date (its often the first day of the new FY) is used?
If you have a difference in minimum one of the mentioned settings in CO version you might have different act. prices in comp. code currency.
Your KP97 process copied the values in controlling area currency (A) and converted this numbers to comp. code currency (B) based on your CO-version settings.
Best regards, Christian

You seems not to understand what I mean and what I'm having like problem. I still have my payment receipt from October of this year when I bought 9 songs in the iTunes Store from my iPhone 4S. The problem is from all the 9 songs I've paid for, only 7 are still available from this list on my iPhone. There is no possibility to download the other 2 without paying for them. I've spoke to the lady from Mississippi on the phone 2 days ago from about 2 hours calling from Belgium but unfortunately she couldn't help me. It's the 3rd time I complain about this. How many time shall I pay for the same songs?? If you can access my music list and my past receipts payment you will be able to find out what I mean. I went back on iTunes I've found the the songs I already downloaded in October that should be on my playlist but if I click on them it will charge me again 0,99 cents. It's been 3 years I've been using the same apple ID with my iPhones. I just wand to get my songs back without having to pay them twice or 3 times

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

Is it possible to order an iMac specifically with Snow Leopard, in preference to Lion, say, by the end of this year (as a Christmas gift)?

I want to buy an iMac as a Christmas gift this year and wondered if it may be possible to specifically order one with Snow Leopard? By then I imagine all machines available for sale are likely to have Lion pre-loaded, hence my question.
If I could buy one now, I would, as there are many around still with Snow Leopard - but sadly I can't manage it just at the moment.
Thanks
Ross

Thanks folks, I realise this is just a user forum of course, I was just wondering if anyone had previous experience with buying a Mac with an older system on it at a time of changeover like this. A friend has just bought a new one from an Apple store this week with Snow Leopard on it - not surprising given the newness of Lion, but I was curious to know if anyone had experience with being given a choice during a system upgrade.
And who knows...maybe Apple do look in at the forums to see what people are asking????
Thanks

I'm going to be a senior this year and my school is switching over to the iPad for classroom activities. Which iPad is the best for taking notes, researching, studying, reading, etc?

I Recommend the iPad Mini Retina, it's not to big, and not to small. It has the speed of the iPad Air due to it having the same 64 Bit chips. ( And it's a lot cheaper!!) I have one myself and it's perfect for my school work!

Hwo to calculate first week for this year in variable

The logic is taking today's date and subtracting 7 days. It uses that date to determine the week which when run today is week one of 2010.but if this is for this year then jan8 if i deduct 7 wit will comes as jan1 which will be as 1 st week.
i have to change code such way when this happened it has to show as previous week not current week
can u guys help me out
ex: if i run this on jna 8th ..the i get results jan1st ..but the day falls in previous week but its gives me current week... hwo to fix this..? here is the old code
DATA PREV_WEEK_DT LIKE SY-DATUM.
PREV_WEEK_DT = SY-DATUM - 7.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_DATE_GET_FISC_WEEK'
    EXPORTING
      DATE         = PREV_WEEK_DT
    IMPORTING
      WEEK         = YR_WEEK
    EXCEPTIONS
      DATE_INVALID = 1.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

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?

How do i transfer 2011 Birthdays to this year (2012) in iCal

How do i transfer 2011 Birthdays to this year (2012) in iCal?
It seems I have to do it manually at the moment?

iCal and the Address Book are integrated.
If you want the birthday for each one of your contacts that you want to track birthdays for entered automatically in iCal every year - year after year without having to do anything extra, enter the birthday for each contact you want this for in the Address Book. In iCal preferences, select to show the Birthdays calendar. Done.
If not, keep doing it the way you have been doing it which will require copy and paste each birthday in iCal from last year to this year. Repeat for next year and the year after that. Or go into each Birthday event in iCal one by one and select repeat every year for the event. Have fun with that since your question is based on iCal only and you are not interested in learning anything new that makes this process easy and automatic. A contact's birthday should be entered with the rest of the contact's info in the Address Book, and Apple includes a simple option with one mouse click in iCal to bring the birthday entries for each contact in the Address Book over to iCal automatically each year - year after year. But pay no attention - your question is about iCal only.
Good luck.

I recently updated my Iphone 5s to ios8 from ios7(.something) and lost all photos, text messages, etc. and then restored it using an old Icloud backup from 2014. I want to change the Icloud backup to one from this year.

Is it possible to do this, and how? My iphone 5s is still restoring currently in the Backup settings and there's an option that says "Stop restoring Iphone" if I tap it, it says "any data that has not been downloaded will not be restored or backed up in the future"... AND I KNOW that if I update my iphone from ios7 to ios8 that it is a big jump and is the reason why I lost everything on it. So please don't tell me that is the answer to my question, because it's not. I am clearly asking if I can change the icloud backup date from 2014 to one from this year. This is because my iphone asked me which backup I want to use to restore my stuff from after the ios8 update. I hope this question isn't too confusing!!

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.

I reset my computer to orig manufacturers speifications and lost all my purchased Itune music before this year. I've been a member for ten years. Itunes does not have a record. Is there anything else I can do to get them back.

I had to reboot my desktop computer to original manufacturers specifications and all my purchased Itune music was deleted from my computer. I didn't back up my itunes because they advertise they keep a record of your purchased music. I contacted Itunes and they have stated they only have a record of purchases made this year. I've been a member for ten years. Any ideas on how to get back my purchased music? Also, I have an old Ipod Nano that I haven't used for quite some time because the battery didn't hold its charge, and it has some of my older purchased music. Itunes said I can't get the music on my old ipod downloaded back onto my computer, any ideas on this?

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).
