Using calculated time field in graph?

Hello All,
Hope you can help.
I am trying to show a graph with "Total Time spent on Phone" (Hrs:Min:Sec) on the y axis and "Month" on the X axis.
However the data I am using for 'time' in the database is actually a sum of a 4 number fields.So I have converted this to a date/time format that gives me the correct info as Hrs:Min:Sec. Unfortunately when I use this formatted field in the graph it only allows me to summarise the field and this only allows me to 'Count' or 'Distinct Count' the information which is no help to me at all. If I use the original 'number' formatted field that I originally summed it shows graphically the information I require but the scale on the Y axis is then displayed as a numerical scale which doesn't then show the Hrs:Min:Sec that I need. If I go into the axis format I can change the view to time but it then displays 00:00:00.
Can anyone offer a way round this.
Thanks in advance Simon

Adding custom time field in service order

Hi Gurus,
Our customer wants us to add product date and time. I use transaction EEWB to add this date and time filed. In EEWB field types are only BOOL,CHAR,DATS and NUMC. I can add my date by selecting DATS. But how can I create my time field that after cerating I will see it in the table cRMD_ORDERADM_H with data type TIMS??
Do I have to use defined date profile entries to take my time value??? Can't we use custom time field in service??? if yes how??

Hi,
You can make date fields available at item nivel without create custom fields.
All you have to do is create a date profile and assign it to your item category.
To create a date profile:
transaction SPRO->Customer Relationship Management->Basic Functions->Date Management->Define Date Profile
To assign to an item category:
transaction SPRO->Customer Relationship Management->Transactions->Basic Settings->Define Item Categories
I hope it helps!
Kind Regards,
Gabriel Santana

How to use dates/times in the definition of local fields?

Hello!
I have few tough questions for which I haven't found an answer. I hope someone is capable to help me.
1. Is there a transaction to search tables if we know the field?
2. I'd like to define a local field and need to use dates in the calculation function. So basically I need to calculate the lean-time from the date of the purchase order (field BSTDK) to the date of the final delivery (field PLIFTS) and the result should be displayed in weeks. How can I do this? Or can I?
3. Can I use the local fields further in my calculations?
Thank you in advance!

How to use javascript in a calculated column field in SP2013

Hi All,
I'm trying to use the code below in a calculated column but i can't get it to work.
any time i add it in it strips out all the quotes etc..and it doesn't show the open dialog.
Any ideas how i can use this in a calculated column field?
Thanks in Advance
="<div><a href='#'
onclick='openInDialog(500,600,true,true,false,'http://www.SharePoint.com');'>MS
SharePoint Site</a></div>"

Your problem is with the single quotes which both open de onclick event and are used for the javascript string variable.
You want " and need to escape those in a SharePoint string as ""
So this
="<div><a href='#' onclick=""SP.UI.ModalDialog.OpenPopUpPage('https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/');"">MS SharePoint Site</a></div>"
Evaluates to:
<div><a href='#' onclick="SP.UI.ModalDialog.OpenPopUpPage('https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/');">MS SharePoint Site</a></div>
Once SharePoint dumps the HTML code in the Client Browsers
(provided you have set the Datatype of the Calculated column field to Number!)

I want to do calculation between date/time fields

Hi, I already post this question a couple of times but I can't make it work.
IST:I have converted a date/time field to a field so i can make calculation on it but i don't know ho to convert it to minuts;seconds.
Starttime - Endtime - Convert begin - Convertend - convertsumbegin - convertsumend - difference between31-7 12:39:00 - 31-07 13:08:00 - 123900 - 010800 - 123.900 - 10.800 - -113.100
SOLL
Start time - Endtime - Differencebetween12:39 - 13:08 - 0:29
If i make this calculation in Excel it's very simple and works perfect. I want this in my Webintelligence report but don't know which functions/script i need to have. Thanks;

fmonsma:
Based on the sample data that you provide, it appears that you want to be able to report data based on the number of minutes that have elapsed between "Starttime" and "Endtime". Looking at the WebI Variable Editor functions in the "Date & Time" functions list, it does not appear that there are any capability to determine elapsed minutes (it appears that the only "time" of the "Date & Time" functions is the "CurrentTime" function, not much else in regards to time...)
You don't mention the database platform you are using, however, if you happen to be using MS SQL Server, then they have the DATEDIFF function. Within DATEDIFF the parameters are: DATEDIFF ( datepart , startdate , enddate ), where datepart specificies any of the following facts: Year, quarter, Month, dayofyear, Day, Week, Hour, minute, second, millisecond
Bottom line, you will most likely not be able to rely on WebI to determine the elapsed seconds and you'll have to set up an object within your Universe to do the work on the database server and bring it across to your reports that way.

Problem at calculation time, when using Dynamic Calc measures

Hello, We are using Essabse v6.5 and we want to upgrade to v7.1. we are performing some tests, in order to check that the Cubes we have created in 6.5 are working properly in v7.1. the problem that we are experiencing is that the calculation time for the cubes that have dynamic calc members has exploaded to 10 times more, compared to what it took at version 6.5. Do you have any idea why this happens. (also we are still using the old client "Application Manager") Furhermore, I have set up 2 cubes that are the same, except the 1st has dynamic calc memebers, whereas the 2ns has not. I perform calcualtions with the SET MSG DETAIL; and receive the following: CUBE (A) with Dynamic Calc Total Block Created: [4.3720e+03] Blocks Sparse Calculations: [8.0620e+03] Writes and [2.5338e+05] Reads Dense Calculations: [2.8000e+01] Writes and [2.8000e+01] Reads Sparse Calculations: [6.0202e+06] Cells Dense Calculations: [1.1476e+06] Cells CUBE (B) withOUT Dynamic Calc Total Block Created: [4.3720e+03] Blocks Sparse Calculations: [4.3720e+03] Writes and [3.5887e+04] Reads Dense Calculations: [2.8000e+01] Writes and [2.8000e+01] Reads Sparse Calculations: [6.0202e+06] Cells Dense Calculations: [1.1476e+06] Cells Question: Why does Cube (A) has more Sparse Calculations than Cube(B) ???? thanx

Yes, all the settings were exactly the same. See following: - Data Cache (note: we are NOT using the Data File Cache) - Index Cache - Index Page - Commit Block Interval - Cache memory Locking - Access Mode = buffered IO - Data Compression = Bit-Map encoding - Two Pass Calculatino = ON - Aggregate Missing Values = ON - CFG file Is there any new settings in 7.1 that I must configure? Is there any settings that I cannot see through the old client Application Manager, which is important? Must I install the new client in order to be able to configure correctly the Outline/Cube? Thnkx

Using Calculated Field in Multi Value Field

In Siebel Application
Sales Order---> List
There is a field call "Sales Rep" which displays an "USERID" of Order Sales Team Mvg Applet.
But We want to display the Last Name and First Name (combined).We got the first and last name using calculated field (Active Full name).
When I try to get the full name, the system display the name based on the "Primary position", if I step out of the particular row and come back again
Is there any way to display the full name without step out any rows for Sales Rep field

Your description is a little confusing. For performance reasons it is always best to set the use primary join on multi value links. This means that when multi value fields are displayed in applets they always show the primary by default. If you want to display something other than the primary what is your rational behind this and why not make the record you want to display the primary?

Insert / Update of a TIME field using Native SQL

Hi Oracle gurus,
We are trying to perform inserts and updates within an ORACLE table where a TIME field exists without suscess. We are trying to code it using Native SQL.
EXEC SQL.
INSERT INTO table (field1[name], field2[age], field3[birthday], field4[hour])
VALUES (:name, :age, TO_DATE(:date_birth), ¿:hour?)
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
UPDATE table SET field3[birthday] = TO_DATE(:date_birth), field4[hour] = ¿:hour?
WHERE field1[name] = :name AND field2[age] = :age
ENDEXEC.
Which is the right coding sentence in order to achieve our goal?
Many thanks in advance. Best regards,
Imanol

Hi
There is no TIME datatype in oracle. There is only a TIMESTAMP or DATE type or the field is VARCHAR2 as most date fields in a SAP database are. To help you we would need the real field type. If possible you please do a desc <owner>.<table> in a sqlplus session and give us the field type.
If possible also supply the error you get.

Using regular expressions for validating time fields

Similar to my problem with converting a big chunk of validation into smaller chunks of functions I am trying to use Regular Expressions to handle the validation of many, many time fields in a flexible working time sheet.
I have a set of FormCalc scripts to calculate the various values for days, hours and the gain/loss of hours over a four week period. For these scripts to work the time format must be in HH:MM.
Accessibility guidelines nix any use of message box pop ups so I wanted to get around this by having a hidden/visible field with warning text but can't get it to work.
So far I have:
var r = new RegExp(); // Create a new Regular Expression Object
r.compile ("^[00-99]:\\] + [00-59]");
var result = r.test(this.rawValue);
if (result == true){
true;
form1.flow.page.parent.part2.part2body.errorMessage.presence = "visible";
else (result == false){
false;
form1.flow.page.parent.part2.part2body.errorMessage.presence = "hidden";
Any help would be appreciated!

Date and time fields are tricky because you have to consider the formattedValue versus the rawValue. If I am going to use regular expressions to do validation I find it easier to make them text fields and ignore the time patterns (formattedValue). Something like this works (as far as my very brief testing goes) for 24 hour time where time format is HH:MM.
// form1.page1.subform1.time_::exit - (JavaScript, client)
var error = false;
form1.page1.subform1.errorMsg.rawValue = "";
if (!(this.isNull)) {
var time_ = this.rawValue;
if (time_.length != 5) {
    error = true;
else {
    var regExp = /^([01]?[0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]$/;
    if (!(regExp.test(time_))) {
      error = true;
if (error == true) {
form1.page1.subform1.errorMsg.rawValue = "The time must be in the format HH:MM where HH is 00-23 and MM is 00-59.";
form1.page1.subform1.errorMsg.presence = "visible";

I have been using time machine to back up my Mac Book Pro 3.1 to my Time Capsule. Now the Time machine hangs up on "calculating time remaining".

I have been using time machine to back up my Mac Book Pro 3.1 to my Time Capsule. Now the Time machine hangs up on "calculating time remaining".
Mac Book Pro - 3.1-15-inch 2.4/2.2GHz), Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Operating system : OS X 10.10.1
Time Machine Version 1.3, Copyright 2007-2014 Apple Inc., Modified Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at 6:03 PM
Time Capsule: 500 GB C 2007
This Time Machine software worked satisfactory until Monday Nov, 10 2014 and I have backups until that time. For several years, the software deleted the oldest back up to save the latest one. This is acceptable to me as I have off site storage that is updated every 3 months. How do I get Time machine working again?

I have spent a couple of days trying to respond to Linc Davis. Finally I figured it out . The following is a copy of data from my console from the initiation of a time machine backup until it gets stuck trying to calculate the time remaining. There is no indication that anything starts saving. I copied about 3 minutes of data. This is probably way too much data, but I do not know what is relevant.
Thanks for the help,

Adding Date/Time Field + X Number of Days - Basic Calculation Question

I am assuming this is a basic calculation question. New to Adobe LiveCycle Forms.
I have a simple form containing a table. The table appears as such:
Text
Formatted as Date/Time Fields
Header 3
Monday
user wil choose the beginning date (Date/Time) this is DateTimeField1
Tuesday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 1
Wednesday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 2
Thursday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 3
Friday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 4
Saturday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 5
Sunday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 6
Calculations are performed after the date is chosen for Monday. My mind tells me the simple calculation of DateTimeField1 + 1 is not going to work (and in fact doesn't!) as it needs to change Monday to a number first. I saw on another thread the following:
Num2Date(Date2Num(Date(DateTimeField1), "DD.MM.YYYY")+7, "DD.MM.YYYY")
Thought this was going to get me close. No cigars though!
Any quick help is greatly appreciated. And since I am new to this, details about what needs to be changed would be great too!
Thanks

Here an addition for you date field.
This FormCalc script in the exit:Event will check it the selected date is on a monday.
If not it will go the days back until the last monday.
var Selection = Date2Num($.formattedValue, DateFmt(2))
var WeekDay = Num2Date(Selection, "E")
var NewDate
if (WeekDay eq 1) then
          NewDate = Selection - 6
elseif (WeekDay eq 3) then
          NewDate = Selection - 1
elseif (WeekDay eq 4) then
          NewDate = Selection - 2
elseif (WeekDay eq 5) then
          NewDate = Selection - 3
elseif (WeekDay eq 6) then
          NewDate = Selection - 4
elseif (WeekDay eq 7) then
          NewDate = Selection - 5
else
          NewDate = Selection
endif
$ = Num2Date(NewDate, "EEE DD.MM.YYYY")
Hope this helps, too.

Saving data from graph/chart to use next time a VI is run

Hi all!
I am not sure if this is even possible, or whether someone has maybe
done something like this. I need to save the data from a graph or chart
during each run of a VI. I then want to call this data back into the Vi
the next time it is run so it can be displayed at the same time that
the VI runs. I need to do this in order to compare measurements from
different setups during each measurement. This way I will have a
reference to be able to observe what influences different changes in
the system has had in comparison to a previous test.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the help!
Charel Marais

There are a few points to this.
First, you need to decide whether you want to save the data or just hold it in memory. Saving it to the hard drive will be more complex, depending on the format of your data, but you can search for "file" in the example finder (Help>>Find Examples) and look at the VIs in the file I\O palette.
If you simply want to hold the data in memory until the next time the VI is run, you can simply use a local variable or a shift register. You can search the example finder for "shift register" for some examples.
The key to what you want is using multiple plots on your graph\chart. When you do, you can take the data from your last run and simply insert it into the graph as an extra plot, which will be visible at the same time as your new data. Again, search the example finder, this time for "graph" or "chart" to see how to work with multiple plots.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

Use time part of Date/Time field info path

I want Compare tow Time field. first field set as default value with
=today+”09:00 AM”
Another field set as value with
=now()
if first filed less than another filed set something action , when condition is set doesnt work!!
would you please tell me how can I do this correctly?

Hi Hoorie,
As you are using formula for populating the fields’ values, then the rule needs to be executed when the form loads.
So I recommend to set the rule when form loads in InfoPath.
Please click Data tab in InfoPath and then click Form Load button in Rules section, then add the rule for comparing the two fields’ values and set the action.
Best regards.
Thanks

For custom tables should we use UTC for date/time fields

A general question.
Can anyone confirm that SAP does seem to be moving towards storing date/time in UTC format?
We're building custom tables and we're making it a standard to store date/time fields in UTC format.
Regards,
Lavaughn

Hello Lavaughn,
I can not speak for SAP, but from my personal experience TimeStamps are the state of the art to store time date info in db tables. Even with date/Time fields a conversion to the local timezone is necessary. Of course you can reuse your db definition on dynpros. But since UI and business logic will be divided anyway this is also not really a valid point.
