Using Formcalc to calculate Days between Dates

Can anyone give me a simple FormCalc script in which an end date is subtracted from a start date and the result is expressed in number of days? I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES (not ES2). Thank you!

Use the following FormCalc script:
var numDays;
numDays = Date2Num("21/5/2012", "DD/M/YYYY") - Date2Num("19/5/2012", "DD/M/YYYY");
For more details on FormCalc scripting, pelase refer to: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/FormCalc.pdf

How to calculate days between 2 dates excluding public holidays over SAP ?

Hi
Have a universe over SAP data. Trying to calculate days between 2 dates. SAP holds Public Holiday data in various tables e.g Thol and data is updated via scal. Using my univeres as a source I want to run reports for different countries so need to have various bank holidays not just UK. In SAP function modules handle this. Has anyone designed a solution to cater for this situation in a universe ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I assume you mean SAP R/3 (ECC) when you write SAP and SAP BW.
Are you using BW? If so, I would load the data into SAP BW, create a query using customer exit variables and build your universe on top of that...

How to count the days between Date Range using OO ABAP?

Not sure I understand the requirement for it to be OO, but you could always write your own (i.e. use this):

Calculate Days between same date field in multiple records, looping for each record

Be patient as I am a newbie to Sql Server (using 2008 R2) and SSIS. I have looked at multiple solutions in this and many other forums before submitting the question.
I am looking at records to identify the number of days between two dates. We review drug information. A member uses drug A (Code identifies this called GPI) and has refills throughout time. The goal is to calculate the days between Refill
1 and refill 2, then refill 2 to refill 3, etc. When that member record set is complete, we move to the next member record set.
The basic data would be as follows. Each record shown below would be a separate record in a single table :
Member
Drug Code
DateService
Days Between

The days between is the value I am looking to calculate. The First record for the grouping of Member and Drug Code will be zero ( 0 ) as there is no preceding date to calculate against. The process would then loop through the records at the grouping
(Member and Drug Code) until those records are calculated. It would then move on to the next group of Member/Drug records.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Any clarification I can provide, I would be more than happpy too. Thank you in advance!

Confused - How to Calculate Number of Days Between Dates but Exclude Weekend Dates If There Hasn't Been a Weekend Update

Hello -
I've been tearing my hair out over this problem i'm trying to solve, probably just been staring at it too long which is making it worse -
I have a series of open support tickets which are supposed to be updated on a daily basis, the problem is that they aren't always being updated daily. So, the business wants to know the number of days from when a ticket was last updated and today's
date. I have this basic calculation and it's working fine, however now the business wants to exclude weekends from the calculation. The other problem is that some reps DO go in on weekends and update their tickets, so sometimes there will be updates
made on weekend dates.
To give an example -
Today's date is 2014-02-10 (Monday). A ticket was last updated last Thursday, 2014-01-30. The difference between the two dates is 11, so it's been 11 days since the ticket was last updated. Now, if I exclude Saturdays and Sundays, then
it's actually been 7 days since the ticket was last updated. I'm not sure how to do this in T-SQL.
Now, to further complicate the problem, sometimes a ticket IS updated on a Saturday or Sunday. So, if a ticket was updated on 2014-02-02 (Sunday), then it should be counted. Again i'm not sure how to do this.
What gets me is that this is probably fairly simple and i've just been staring at it too long. In the meantime, can someone offer some guidance?
Thanks!!

I've adapted this from a function on my blog. you will need to add set the YourTicketTable to where ever your tickets are stored.
CREATE
FUNCTION [dbo].[CalcWorkDaysBetween](@StartDate
As DateTime,@EndDate
AS DateTime)
RETURNS
INT AS
BEGIN
SET @EndDate
=DATEADD(DAY,1,@EndDate)
DECLARE @Count
AS Int= 0
DECLARE @Date
As Date=@StartDate
WHILE @Date
< @EndDate
BEGIN
IF (DATEPART(WEEKDAY,@Date)IN(1,7)
OR (SELECT
Count(*)
FROM YourTicketTable WHERE TicketDate=@Date)=1)
BEGIN
SELECT @Count = @Count
+ 1
END
SELECT @Date=DATEADD(Day,
1,@Date)
END
RETURN
DATEDIFF(DAY,@StartDate,@EndDate)- @Count
END

Months and days between dates

What is the formula to find the months and days between dates

Tricky... The first problem is the intended result. Months have a varying number of days in them, days and weeks have set values. For example the difference between 1st July and 1st September is 2 months but this does not give an accurate count of the number of days (61).
It would be better to calculate the number of days difference and forget the months.
You would need a lookup table showing a numeric value for each date that would show each date with a day value from a starting point. If your earliest date is 01/01/2000 then that would be day zero. Then using the lookup table calculate the day value for your beginning and end dates. Subtract one from the other to get the number of days.
If all your dates are from this year:
You can create your own Cell Format (call it day of the year) Select the Type: Date & Time
drag the icon for Day of Year into the box and delete the others.
Convert your dates to this new Format, subtract one value from the other to get the number of days difference.

Find no. of days between dates

Hi guys,
I have 5 dates with me, 2 of which are Key Figures and 3 are of Char. date type. Now, I have to find no. of days between these dates using various permutation and combination i.e. it can be between 2 KF's or 2 Char. types or 1 KF and 1 Char. type as well.
1) I think finding no. of days between 2 KFs can be done using Cumulative KF.
2) I tried to find no. of days between 2 Charac. by creating a Formula (2 variables with Replacement Path) and then finding the difference. But the output seems to be wrong.
eg. 27.02.2009 - 19.01.2009 = 108 days, which is wrong!
(Posting date) (clearing date)
3) I also have to do it between 1 KF and 1 Char. date type, tried creating 1 variable for Char. and then subtracting with KF, but Report shows 'X' in the output!
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can do it by using Customer Exits and Replacement path Variables..

Using analytical function to calculate concurrency between date range

Folks,
I'm trying to use analytical functions to come up with a query that gives me the
concurrency of jobs executing between a date range.
For example:
JOB100 - started at 9AM - stopped at 11AM
JOB200 - started at 10AM - stopped at 3PM
JOB300 - started at 12PM - stopped at 2PM
The query would tell me that JOB1 ran with a concurrency of 2 because JOB1 and JOB2
were running started and finished within the same time. JOB2 ran with the concurrency
of 3 because all jobs ran within its start and stop time. The output would look like this.
JOB START STOP CONCURRENCY
=== ==== ==== =========
100 9AM 11AM 2
200 10AM 3PM 3
300 12PM 2PM 2
I've been looking at this post, and this one if very similar...

Using average days between dates to predict a launch date on another produc

I hope someone might be able to help me out here.
I am at the limit of my Webi expertise! (which is not saying a lot)
We have a universe containing date information relating to the launch of products thus:
Product Name
Supplier Name
Category
Sample Availability Date
Testing Start Date
Launch Go Date
It is a simple matter to create a variable u2018Project Timeu2019 as DaysBetween(Testing Start Date;Launch Go Date)
And using the Average function we can create Average Project Length - Also with the Report, and Section keywords we can show the global average, and averages by Supplier and Category.
Here is my problem.
We also have Products in the universe that have yet to have their projects kicked off, so Testing Start Date and Launch Go Date for those products are null data. I want to use the Sample Availability Date and the Average Project Length variable to predict the probable Launch Go date, however, in the report this element shows up as an empty cell.
Does anyone have an idea how I might achieve this?
Many Thanks
Mark

OK...
Lets imagine there are records for 100 devices in the universe. 75 of them have valid project start dates and launch dates. 25 of them have neither because those projects are yet to start. However they do have a sample availability date.
Using the DaysBetween function I can create a variable called project length from the start and launch dates. I can then use the Average function to get the average project length (for the devices that actually have a project length)
Somehow I want to add this average project length to the sample availability date on the records that have yet to have a start date.
As projects end they will add to the average, and we can see how close they were to the predicted launch. As new records are added they will automatically have a predicted date.
Right now I have the average project length, If I create a table filtering on completed projects (Projects with a non-null launch date) and I add a column showing average project length, because I've used the In Report keyword on the average, it shows the average value in this table.
If I have a stand-alone cell with the average project length it shows the right value
But if I have a table showing the devices yet to start (filtering on Null start date) If I add the average project length into that table it shows as blank (I.e. no value at all)
Hope this helps

How to calculate period between date/time?

All,
I have not been able to find any function module that does this.
I have a create date/time from a table (VBAK).
I need to calculate the difference in days/hours/minutes (seconds not needed) between the date in this table and the current date/time.
Then based on the result - e.g. difference is say 2 days 3 hours and 50 minutes - I will compare to a comfigured period users input to determine record selection.
I can get date difference - SAP handles that - but the hours and minutes are a different story.
Thanks.
Scott

No Matters if problem solved by own. Surely Posting a solution would help others needed person in future .

Using FormCalc to Automate Date Calculations

How do I use FormCalc to add days to a date and automatically calculate a second date?

Thanks for the feedback, but I've checked this out in depth before coming to this discussion group. It does not show me how to calculate the date as I need it. I have a timeline document where users will enter an initial date. Based on the initial date, I want to automatically calculate the milestone dates by adding the number of days in wait time. For example, the user will enter Jan 1, 2013. The first milestone should occur 3 days later, so the calculation would add 3 days to the initial date and automatically return a date of Jan 4, 2013. There are a number of milestones and automatic dates that occur throughout this 80-day timeline.
Do you have any idea of what that calculation would be?

How to get difference in days between 2 dates excluding weekends
