Trunc function with date

when i use in my proceadure where trunc(timesent_acct) between '30-AUG-2006' and '27-SEP-2006' it returns 410 rows
but
when i use where timesent_acct between '30-AUG-2006' and '27-SEP-2006' it returns me 400 rows
what actually happened out there my data stored in timestamp like this '9/27/2006 10:24:18 AM'
what trunc actually do with dates
thanks

Hello,

    Hi There,
    How to use TRUNC function with dates in Expression Builder in OBIEE.
    TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MM') returns '07/01/2010' where sysdate is '07/15/2010' in SQL. I need to use the same thing in expression builder in BMM layer logical column.
    Thanks in advance

    use this instead:

  • TRUNC function for DATE

    Another thread from today made me think of the basics of TRUNC function used for DATEs. I am confused about what it acutally does.
    This is what Oracle Documenations says about TRUNC function without format (like 'DD-MON-YY')
    "If you omit fmt, then date is truncated to the nearest day" (Oracle 10Gr2 SQL reference, B14200-02)
    SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';
    Session altered.
    Query 1.
    SQL> SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL;
    SYSDATE

    Query 2.
    SQL> SELECT TRUNC(SYSDATE) FROM DUAL;
    TRUNC(SYSDATE)
    06-DEC-2007 00:00:00I have three questions
    1)Since it 2:22 pm , shouldn't the result of TRUNC(SYSDATE) ie Query 2. be 7-Dec-2007 ?
    2) What difference does TRUNC function make in the code apart from setting the time to 00:00:00?
    3) Is it safer to add TRUNC for DATEs in the code?
    SQL> select sysdate-1 from dual;
    SYSDATE-1
    05-DEC-2007 14:27:51
    SQL> select trunc(sysdate) - 1 from dual;

    it's not a function that rounds up date's it purely truncates to the granularity that you want.
    So TRUNC(sysdate) still returns a date datatype (which still contains a date and time portion) but the time portion is truncated i.e. cleared down to it's lowest limit.
    Likewise if you TRUNC(sysdate,'YYYY') then it will truncate to the year and take months, days, hours, mins and secs down to their lowest limit hence giving you 1st January of that year with 00:00:00 as the time.
    It's very simple really.

It's hard for me to say what you're doing wrong when I don't know what you're doing. Post a complete test script that people can run to re-create the problem and test their ideas. Include a function definition, CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for any of your own tables (if necessary), and the results you want to get from that data, as well as your query.

  • How to use MAX() function with date field

    Hi Frzz,
    I have created a Graphical calculation view in which i have multiple records for each employee with different dates. But my requirement is to take the records which have maximum date.
    I have converted the date into Integer and applied the MAX() function. But still am getting multiple records.
    Is there is any other way we can achieve this requirement in Graphical Calculation view??  Your suggestion will really help me.
    Thank  you.
    Krishna.

    Hmm... what have you tried out so far?
    Look, I took the effort and created a little example, just for you
    Assume we have a table that contains the logon dates of users.
    Every line contains the logon date and some info on the user.
    Very much like a not-normalized log file could look like.
    Now, the output we want is: one line per user with the most current logon time.
    Not too difficult:
    1. Have a aggregation node that gives you the distinct user details - one line for every user:
    2. Have another aggregation node that gives you the last (MAX) logon date per user:
    Finally you do a 1:1 join on the USER_ID and map the result to the output.
    Easy as pie

  • Query regarding Min function with Date

    Dear All,
    I have written query as follows but it is giving me error message.
    Selection CityCode, CityName, Min(Date)
    from Entry
    I want to write a query which should generate minimum date of transactions of city. There are about 50 cities in the Entry table and against each city there are thousands of records, I want to display only the oldest date against each city with its code. In the out put there should 50 rows as there are 50 cities and oldest (min) date. Can any one please help on this SQL.
    Thanks

    Do you want just min date in the table or need grouping by citycode and city name also?
    If just min date of the table is needed, use row_number analytic function to get the min date in the table.

  • BETWEEN function with dates

    Hi,
    how do i edit my where clause to display between the SYSDATE and exactly one month before that date?
    i know it's something like

    AND last_used is <=??????
    i don't know what to put after that...
    anybody know?

    Daniel,
    This might get you what you want:
    WHERE last_used &gt;=SYSDATE

    /Originally, I had just the one function with VARCHAR2 arguments. This failed to work properly because when dates were passed in, the automatic conversion to VARCHAR2 was dropping the timestamp. So, I added a 2nd function with DATE arguments. Then I started getting "too many declarations of is_same exist" error when passing TIMESTAMPs. This made no sense to me, so even though Oracle's documentation says you cannot do it, I created a 3rd version of the function, to handle TIMESTAMPS explicitly. Surprisingly, it works fine. But then I noticed it didn't work with TIMESTAMP with TIME ZONEs. Hence, the fourth version of the function. Oracle's docs say that if your arguments are of the same type family, you cannot create an overloaded function, but as the example above shows, this is very wrong.
    Lastly, just for grins, I created the two number functions, one with NUMBER, the other with REAL, and even these are allowed - they compile. But then at run time, it fails. I'm really confused.
    Here is the apparently incorrect Oracle documentation on the matter: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B12037_01/appdev.101/b10807/08_subs.htm (see overloading subprogram names), and here are the various types and their families: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e17126/predefined.htm.

    I think the documentation, for the 'date' family, is wrong as you suggest. For INTEGER and REAL the issue is that those are ANSI data types and are really the same Oracle datatype; they are more like 'aliases' than different datatypes.

    ANSI, DB2, and SQL/DS Datatypes
    SQL statements that create tables and clusters can also use ANSI datatypes and datatypes from the IBM products SQL/DS and DB2. Oracle recognizes the ANSI or IBM datatype name that differs from the Oracle Database datatype name. It converts the datatype to the equivalent Oracle datatype, records the Oracle datatype as the name of the column datatype, and stores the column data in the Oracle datatype based on the conversions shown in the tables that follow.

  • CountIf with Dates

    Hi,
    I try using the CountIf-function with dates in the conditional parameter of the function and I am experiencing the same problem as stated here: http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1756183
    In the Designer and in Excel itself everything looks ok, but not in the final swf-file.
    I am using the function like this:
    =COUNTIF(G$3:G$40; ">"&P4)
    while P4 holds the value 40940 (01.02.2012 in numeric format) and G3 to G40 also holds various dates with the cell-style set to "numeric". Does it even have any influence to which format the cell-style is set?
    Is there any workaround or am simply doing something wrong?
    I'm using Dashboard Design Version 6.0.0.0 Build 14,0,2,364
    Thank you,
    Daniel
    Edit:
    I changed the source data of the function. P4 now contains the return value of DATEVALUE("01.02.2012"). G3 to G40 also contain now =DATEVALUE(<anotherCell>) while <anotherCell> contains the date in textform.
    The result is still the same (right result in Excel, wrong result in the Preview/SWF-file). This is confusing because CountIf should work with numbers, right?
    Edit2:
    I got around the problem by not using dates at all and use mere text for the dates. I then convert it with some text-functions and VALUE() to numbers and do COUNTIF() on these numbers. Not nice but it works.
    Seems like Dashboard Design doesn't like DATEVALUE() even though it is in the list of supported functions.

    What happens when trunc is executed on null?
    I am executing the following query:
    "select nvl(trunc(null),sysdate) from dual"
    and this throws "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got DATE, error at Line:1 Column:23".
    Whereas "select nvl(null,sysdate) from dual" returns sysdate correctly.
    Also "select trunc(null) from dual" returns null only. So when the returned null is passed through nvl why am I getting exception?
    This is happening in ver 9.2.0.5.0 and 10.2.0.2.0
    There is another observation, which is an issue that we have found in our code, and while trying to fix that we saw the earlier observation.
    SELECT * FROM orgs, dual where
    trunc(SYSDATE) between trunc(orgs.effective_start_date) and nvl(trunc(orgs.effective_end_date),trunc(sysdate))
    Here effective start date and effective end date for orgs are null for all records.
    When we run this query on ver 9.2.0.5.0, this runs without any exception. But when we run this query on ver 10.2.0.2.0, we get the same exception, "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got DATE, error at Line:2 Column:95".
    The join with dual is fake, in actual scenario we have join with other tables, but since we are able to replicate with dual, removed all other details to keep this simple.
    Now if we remove the join with dual, the query works fine in both the env.
    SELECT * FROM orgs where
    trunc(SYSDATE) between trunc(orgs.effective_start_date) and nvl(trunc(orgs.effective_end_date),trunc(sysdate))

    What happens when trunc is executed on null?
    I am executing the following query:
    "select nvl(trunc(null),sysdate) from dual"
    and this throws "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes:
    expected NUMBER got DATE, error at Line:1
    Column:23".
    Whereas "select nvl(null,sysdate) from dual" returns
    sysdate correctly.
    Also "select trunc(null) from dual" returns null
    only. So when the returned null is passed through nvl
    why am I getting exception?
    This is happening in ver 9.2.0.5.0 and 10.2.0.2.0The first parameter to NVL is determining the expected datatype of the returned column, with the trunc function defaulting that to NUMBER because it's parameter is NULL. The second parameter to NVL needs to match that datatype which it doesn't because it is a date.
    SQL> select nvl(trunc(sysdate), sysdate) as mydate from dual;
    MYDATE
    26/05/2006 00:00:00
    SQL> select nvl(trunc(null), sysdate) as mydate from dual;

  • Error while calling XQuery Function with xs:date type as Argument

    Hi,
    I have follwing function in my DataService .
    declare function tns:getXXXDetail($effectiveDate as xs:date,
    $cancelDate as xs:date) as element(ns26:XXXAccount)* {
              implCode
    declare function tns:testGetXXXDetail($searchCriteria as element(ns15:locateMemberXXXDetail))
                   as element(ns26:XXXAccount)* {
    for $Account in tns:getXXXDetail($searchCriteria/ns16:accountTypeDates/ns18:effectiveDate,
         $searchCriteria/ns16:accountTypeDates/ns18:cancelDate)
    return $Account
    I am trying to test the getXXXDetail() function from testGetXXXDetail .
    The searchCriteria is a complex type with date elements effectiveDate and cancelDate, both are optional
    When i test with effectiveDate,cancelDate elements present in $searchCriteria its working fine.
    When i remove these dates element i am getting follwing error
    "expected exactly one item, got 0 items" error
    Any Clue ?

    When i remove these dates element i am getting follwing error"expected exactly one item, got 0 items" error
    Sounds like your schema for these items indicates minOccurs="1" (or relies on that as the default).
    Edit the schema and change the definitions to be...
    <xs:element name="effectiveDate" minOccurs="0" ... />

  • Error while executing planning function with reference data

    Hi,
    I have a two planning functions one is used to upload the file (with out reference data checkbox in planning function RSPLF1) and other planning function ('Referece data'check box is selected in custom planning function RSPLF1) to execute the logic of creating new record along with the flat file data.
    Following data is uplooaded
    Company code | Profit_ctr | calmonth | Amount
    1000                 | 50000      | 01.2011  | 150
    Cube data
    Field1    |  Company code | Profit_ctr | calmonth | Amount
             |  1000                 | 50000      | 01.2011  | 150
    Z1         |  1000                 | 50000      | 01.2011  | 150
    Now I want to change the value from 150 to 200 and when I try to execute with the following data, it is giving dump 'a row with the same key already exists'.
    Company code | Profit_ctr | calmonth | Amount
    1000             | 50000          | 01.2011  | 200
    Ideally in the second execution it should append the new row with Amount value 50 to cube which is the delta value.
    I debugged the issue and found that I_TH_REF_DATA has following data and C_TH_DATA also contains the same records.
    Field1     Company code | Profit_ctr | calmonth | Amount
    #     1000                 | 50000      | 01.2011  | 150
    Z1     1000                 | 50000      | 01.2011  | -150
    Z1     1000                 | 50000      | 01.2011  | 150
    Due to this, record which already exists in C_TH_DATA and trying to append new record with the same combination is failing.
    C_TH_DATA should only contain the source data of Amount 200, but not sure why reference data is coming in C_TH_DATA.
    Could anyone please guide me on how the reference data is getting populated in C_TH_DATA ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Peppy,
    C_TH_DATA is hashed table!  According to your post you are trying to append to C_TH_DATA and this results in a dump. Please take a look at the standard planning function to see how SAP is programming the planning functions. E.g. in CL_RSPLFC_REPOST method IF_RSPLFA_SRVTYPE_IMP_EXEC~EXECUTE you can find the following code:
      CREATE DATA l_r_data_wa LIKE LINE OF c_th_data.
      ASSIGN l_r_data_wa->* TO <s_data_wa>.
      CREATE DATA l_r_new_wa LIKE LINE OF c_th_data.
      ASSIGN l_r_new_wa->* TO <s_new_wa>.
    LOOP AT c_th_data INTO <s_data_wa>.
    <s_new_wa> = <s_data_wa>.
    now the SAP code changes the  values, you can do it your way here
    and than write the changes back
            MODIFY TABLE c_th_data FROM <s_data_wa>.
    ENDLOOP:
    Another option is to use the READ statement to check if the record is already in the table. If not, you can use MODIFY otherwise you use INSERT. So you get something like this:
    READ C_TH_DATA from <s_data_wa> transporting no fields.
    if not sy-subrc EQ 0.
      INSERT <s_data_wa> into table C_TH_DATA.
    else.
      MODIFY TABLE c_th_data FROM <s_data_wa>.
    endif.
    Depending on your requirements you can also use the collect  statement.
    If c_th_data shows the reference data as well, you may need to adjust the filter to restrict it to the correct values.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards

  • Pipelined function with lagre amount of data

    We would like to use pipelined functions as source of the select statements instead of tables. Thus we can easily switch from our tables to the structures with data from external module due to the need for integration with other systems.
    We know these functions are used in situations such as data warehousing to apply multiple transformations to data but what will be the performance in real time access.
    Does anyone have any experience using pipelined function with large amounts of data in the interface systems?

    It looks like you have already determined that the datatable object will be the best way to do this. When you are creating the object, you must enter the absolute path to your spreadsheet file. Then, you have to create some type of connection (i.e. a pushbutton or timer) that will send a true to the import data member of the datatable object. After these two things have been done, you will be able to access the data using the A3 - K133 data members.
