Week Comparison

Dear All,
I have two tables Project P and Project_allocation_details PAD .
P has budgeted hrs and PAD which has from and to date date fileds and budgeted hrs.
For example in
Table P has a project starting from 10/10/2002 with 10hrs/week
In PAD, from date 10/10/2002 , to_date = null and budgeted hr =10 means the allocation for the project is ongoing without an end with 10 hrs weekly.
I need to check each day that the current week has allocation of 10 hrs from the above PAD table ??
Whether I need to add Year as well in my select statement ?? As the dates can be in different Years ,how to do that ??
How to do that ?? Can you please help
Thanks
SJ

I'm afraid I am unable to unbderstand what it is you are trying to achieve. Some table descriptions and some sample data would help.
My sample strikes me as being too simplistic but I am at a loss to know what more you want. What do weeks have to do with anything?
Cheers, APC
CREATE TABLE prj (pid number, start_date date)
CREATE TABLE pad (pid number, start_date date, end_date date, budget number)
INSERT INTO prj VALUES (1, to_date('02-02-2002', 'DD-MM-YYYY'))
INSERT INTO prj VALUES (2, to_date('02-07-2002', 'DD-MM-YYYY'))
INSERT INTO pad VALUES (1, to_date('02-02-2002', 'DD-MM-YYYY'), to_date(null), 10)
INSERT INTO pad VALUES (2, to_date('02-07-2002', 'DD-MM-YYYY'), to_date('01-01-2003', 'DD-MM-YYYY'), 10)
INSERT INTO pad VALUES (1, to_date('02-01-2003', 'DD-MM-YYYY'), to_date(null), 20)
SQL> SELECT prj.pid
  2  FROM   prj
  3  WHERE  EXISTS ( SELECT pad.budget
  4                  FROM   pad
  5                  WHERE  prj.pid = pad.pid
  6                  AND    sysdate BETWEEN pad.start_date AND nvl(pad.end_date, SYSDATE)
  7                  AND    pad.budget = 10 )

  • Week-by-Week Sales Stage Reporting

    Hi,
    We're trying to have a week by week report where the Opportunities have a Sales Stage comparison by week. Ideally, we'd like two columns for sales stage such as "Sales Stage Previous Week" and "Sales Stage Current Week". I've tried various SQL expressions, etc and nothing has seemed to work correctly. I was looking through some notes and thought about maybe using Combined Reports with historical and real-time information. I don't even know if this approach is appropriate..
    We're really at a roadblock at the moment. If anyone has any additional suggestions, they would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi smjohn,
    Below are two tables of what we'd like to have on our weekly comparison. Either one would work. As you can see, it's a comparison between sales stage and Revenue for each Opportunity. It shows that for Opp A, Revenue this week and last week is the same, but Sales Stage differs. For Opp B, Revenue has increased by $500, 000, but the sales stage is still the same.
    I don't know what capabilities analytics has, but this would be very useful for us. Any guidance would be great!
    Thanks again.
    **I formatted the tables, but it isn't coming through when I save... sorry about that.
    Option 1:
    *1. Week* *2. Opportunity Name*     *3. Revenue*     *4. Sales Stage*
    Current Week     Opp A     $300,000     Definition
    Last Week     Opp A     $300,000     Generation
    Current Week     Opp B     $10,500,000     Validation
    Last Week     Opp B     $10,000,000     Validation
    Option 2:
    *1. Opportunity Name*     *2. Revenue-Current Week* *3. Revenue-Last Week* *4. Sales Stage-Current Week* *5. Sales Stage-Last Week*
    Opp A     $300,000     $300,000 Definition Generation
    Opp B     $10,500,000 $10,000,000 Validation Validation

  • Week Day Basis comparison

    Hi, Experts...I am having a very strange requirement. In a report i need to give current sales of current date as well as but date comparison is based on week and day not date. Like if current date is 1st Jan 2011sature day 1st week of 2011 and i am executing the reports, it will also display the sales of 1st week sature day of 2010 wich is actually 2nd jan. So i am calculating th e week number and accordingly finding the date of the current year day. Its giving the accurate result. But i run for 31.12.2009 wich is 53rd week its gives me blank as year 2008 has only 52 weeks. Pls suggest me a FM for comparing the days as AS400 is able to give the sales.

    Hi,
    I think we can put the condition like it the curr week is last week of the year then get the last week of the prvs year.
    like if curr date is 30.12.2010 then the week is 53, we can use fm 'BKK_GET_LASTWEEK_OF_YEAR'  to check wether it is last week of the month, then use the same fm to get the last week of the prvs year.
    Then we can get the day of that week ...
    Regards,
    Anmol.

  • When setting the split-days to "every 15 minutes," the week and comparison views show incorrect time ranges for the day

    When I change the "split-days" interval time, under Options > Settings, to
    15, or every 15 minutes, the week and comparison views don't show the correct
    time range for the day.
    <P>
    For example, if I click View to display the calendar and then click Week to get
    a weekly view, the time range displayed is from 6:00 a.m.
    to 4:00 p.m. If I click Comparison to get a
    comparison view, the time range displayed is from 12 p.m.
    to 6:45 p.m.
    <P>
    In this example, should both of these views show the same time range, from
    9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.?
    No, the two views will not necessarily show the same time range. The time
    range for the comparison view will start at the beginning prefs time only
    if you have something scheduled (on any day of the week) starting at that
    time. For example, on one of the days during your week of comparison, if you
    create an event that starts at 9:00 a.m. and then open the comparison view, the
    time range displayed will start with 9:00 a.m.
    <P>
    Additionally, view times will expand past the configured settings if events
    span past the time range. That is, if you have an event that spans from
    5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the event will be reflected in the view, even though
    your time range may be set to go only to 6:00 p.m.

    Umm yes.
    The settings are stored in ''prefs.js'', so you could swap various copies of this file in and out.
    However, the system will load ''prefs.js'', then, if present, ''user.js'' , so you can set up just your changes in ''user.js'' .
    The sort of line you need to look for is like this:
    <code>user_pref("mail.server.server14.check_time", 10);</code>
    You'll need to do some research to identify which of your accounts is which.
    Search for the account's email address:
    <code>user_pref("mail.identity.id10.useremail", "xenos&#64;example.com");</code>
    Use the id number to locate the account number:
    <code>user_pref("mail.account.account29.identities", "id10");</code>
    Use the account number to find the server number:
    <code>user_pref("mail.account.account29.server", "server14");</code>
    Finally, you can then use the server number find the account's time setting:
    <code>user_pref("mail.server.server14.check_time", 10);</code>
    This last entry may not exist, if you have never changed the setting from the default 10 minutes.
    Do be careful with your typing and copy/pasting; if the file fails the syntax parser it will silently fail.
    And make sure Thunderbird is shut down when you do the swap. If it's open, it may overwrite changes, and in any case, it only reads the settings file when it starts up.

  • Inquiry quantity comparison with last week same day

    hi,
    i have a report to generate in BW, which needs to compare today's inquiry quantity with last week's same day quantity.
    for example. week2 monday comparison with week1 monday comparison.
    how to achieve in BEx to generate this report?
    regards
    venuscm

    Hi,
    Create two variables on 0CALDAY.
    1. For Current date
    2. For the correspodning date of the last week.( Same day as of current week)
    For the second variable , deduct 7 from the system date. it will give you the date of the same day in the last week.
    For e.g. system date is 10.05.2010 . and its a Monday.
    If you deduct 7 from the date it will give the date of the monday in the last week.
    Now create tow selection in the query structure one with current date variable and another one with the corresponding date of the last week.
    N compare them.
    Hope this will help.

  • New 2014 X1 Carbon Touch - 1 Week Review

    I've had the New 2014 Carbon X1 for about a week now, so I thought I'd post a review about my experiences thus far.
    The version I received was the high end model, i7 4th gen, 8gb ram, IPS 2560x1440 touch display. This is the first Lenovo device I have purchased, and I did so at the recommendation of my brother who has owned a T series for the last 3 years. I am a film student, so my intention is to do some light video editing (not rendering) and lightroom/ photoshop work on this device (in addition to daily use of OneNote). I was looking for a powerful ultrabook with good build quality, battery life, and cooling when I purchased this laptop.
    Hardware:
    The hardware on this device has highly conservative look, which I appreciate. The laptop doesn't draw attention, but is pleasing to the eye when viewed up close. I like the fact that there are not as many creases or lines that run through the body of the device (when compared to other devices), which results in a more free flowing but unified appearance.
    The matte plastic on the top of the lid has a slightly rubberized texture, making the device easy to grip. My hands get hot and moist consistently, so the lid does occasionally pick up some faint moisture streaks if I carry it without a case. The slightly rubberized texture is pleasant to the touch and is easy to wipe down with a damp cloth. The inside of the device has a similar plastic around the keys and palm rests, but does not attain as much of a rubber (soft) feel as the lid. The texture on the palm rests is good, and stays cool under extended typing conditions.
    At first I was having issues with the keyboard whereby I would press the spacebar too early in a word. This is due to not pressing the letter keys down firmly enough. After adjusting my finger pressure while typing, I have been able to avoid this problem for the most part. The pressure I am applying to the keys is just a hair more than I am used to, but it is something that doesn't cause a major inconvenience. The backlight on the keyboard is excellent, not too bright or too dim at any one moment.
    The fingerprint reader took several tries to set up, mostly because there is a discrepancy between the lenovo fingerprint software and the integrated Windows 8 security fingerprint setting. By installing my index finger for login on both programs, I was able to successfully unlock the computer from sleep with a swipe of my finger. I am really impressed by the integration of a light on the sensor. When my print isn't accepted the first time, an amber color light flashes on site. Its easier to just look at the light than have to switch my glance back to the monitor after every swipe (like my previous HP laptop). Upon a successful swipe, a lime color light flashes on the reader.
    The screen on the device meets my expectations in every way. The display is IPS which is required for accurate photo editing, and it is LED which makes it very power efficient. Viewing angles are fine, but they could be a little better. Brightness is excellent, but the initial settings have Auto Brightness enabled. On this setting, pumping the brightness up to "100%" really means 100% of what the Auto Brightness function deems appropriate for the current ambient light. To have full manual control, Auto Brightness must be disabled. This results in a much brighter screen with beautiful whites, deep blacks, etc. This is a 300nit display so brightness is very well addressed. As a side note, the laptop was shipped with what appears to be an installed screen protector. There are several holes around the microphones and camera, and a tiny seam along the edge of the screen. The protector is virtually unnoticeable, so I'm leaving it on for the time being. It is much cleaner than any other factory installed laptop screen protector (or film) than I've ever seen (no bubbles, peel-off tabs, or misalignment).
    Cooling on the device is good, but it did not exceed my expectations. On power saver mode, the bottom of the laptop is cool to the touch except the back right corner. To the touch the corner feels as warm as something that's been in the sun for 5 minutes or so which is excellent. I have a temp gun so I'll have to check specifics later. On high performance mode, heat significantly increases. Most of the bottom of the laptop heats up even if no intensive tasks are being run. If the laptop is on my lap, I prefer it to be in power saver mode for this reason.
    Battery life is good for such a small laptop. I have 8 hours of back to back classes and I type notes basically the whole time. With this laptop, it is entirely possible to go that full period without a charger. So far I have done this twice. The settings I use are Wifi off, low brightness, and I enable high contrast mode in accessibility center so the glaring white of OneNote doesn't blind me during the film screenings.
    Webcam looks great for google hangouts, and the microphones are the most sensitive I've ever used. They can pick up the voice of someone to the side and across the room with great clarity.
    Overall the weight and feel of the laptop is very pleasing. Such a light weight for its size, and it feels solid to the touch and doesn't flex the slightest when handled different ways (carbon fiber ++). When compared to a macbook air, it is nearly identical in size and weight. However, I find typing on the lenovo is much more pleasant because the front edge of the palm rest isn't sharp enough to dig into my hands.
    Software
    The Lenovo Solution software (pinned to taskbar upon installation) is easy to use and responsive (unlike similar HP suites). I am actually going to rely on this software for updates instead of disabling it.
    For the first few days of use, there was a touch keyboard toolbar button pinned to my start bar that would appear again even after disabling it. I researched the problem and it was permanently removed from the taskbar by uninstalling the touchpad driver and reinstalling it. Odd.
    The adaptive row of keys is a good idea, but it is not as responsive as I'd like. When using the visual gestures or dragon voice control, there is significant lag between pressing the adaptive key and the program actually running. Each time, a lenovo window appears and it takes several mouse clicks to get to a functioning state for each button. One thing I am VERY disappointed about is the lack of any play/pause/stop/next/previous buttons for the adaptive row to use with a media player. These buttons are necessary, and not having them is unacceptable in my opinion.
    Touch responsiveness is liquid smooth in both power saver and high performance modes. Zooming in on bing maps, drawing with all ten fingers, swiping through metro - all a delightfully lag-free experience.
    Windows 8 - ahhhhhh. This is my first device to run windows 8, and it's alright. It'll take some getting used to, but from my experience so far it is responsive and useful in its design. I really want to be able to pin a firefox link to my start screen, but it seems like all I can do is pin the firefox app instead.
    As mentioned in a previous post, there are several issues with programs that aren't adapted to the ultra high res display. That discussion can be found here.
    The sleeve I purchased for this machine was the "V7 Ultra Protective Sleeve for 13.3-Inch Ultrabook and Notebook". The fit is great (the slightest bit loose on the ends) and the quality is above par for such a low price. I spilled a significant amount of apple juice on the case just yesterday (shakes head) and it protected the notebook well.
    Overall Experience:
    I'm pleased with my purchase. High price point? YES. For that amount I think the RAM should be at least 16gb and the SSD could be 500gb. Overall it is a pleasure to use and look at. Honestly so many things are right about this machine, it just allows me to focus on my work and stop worrying about my battery level or my trackpad glitching or the CPU overheating or lag or other petty issues that other notebooks make you deal with. That's what I like - its a smooth connection between me and getting things done while away from my desktop.
    I haven't edited video on it yet, so that will come in a few weeks. I'm planning on buying an external drive to hold the files while I edit, then just plug it into my desktop when I get home ready to render.

    How's the new clickpad?
    Does the keyboard flex under reasonable pressure?
    Is the adaptive bar actually a pixel-based LCD or just a series of predefined patterns like the really old LCD displays?
    The "new" clickpad is very slick. The texture is good but just a little too rubbery for my taste. In comparison with my brother's old T series, I prefer the X1.
    Under reasonable pressure, absolutely not. The amount of force it takes for me to flex it is something I'd never do under normal use. It feels very solid in my opinion.
    Upon a close inspection, the adaptive touch bar appears to be the old LCD type. I really want those media keys.

  • Internet connection dropping this week

    Internet disconnecting on a daily basis since Tuesday 9 June: This week, my internet connection appears to have developed an intermittent disconnection issue. Below are the details and what I've done about it. So far at time of writing this, Sky have yet to resolve this, and it's frustrating because I spend over £150 per month (and have done so for over ten years) with them. These issues have impacted a wide range of online activities, from streaming VOD services, work VOIP/Skype conference calls, online gaming as well as any internet-based activity. Setup:- Service: Sky Fibre- Router: Skyhub 2 (SR102), received from Sky at the end of March 2015. Previously used the white SR101 with BT Openreach modem for almost two years.- We have less than 16 devices connected at any one time. 10 is usually the very most.- We've tried replacing the modem cables, micro-filter directly into socket (unscrewing face plate), line noise testing, etc etc. (Faceplate is on master socket). Symptoms & diagnoses history:Tuesday 9th JuneSUMMARY: Intermittent internet dropouts begin and noticably. Call Sky support who dispatch OR engineer.Noticed throughout the day regular drop-outs of connection, spaced about an hour or so between eachother. The internet light on our SR102 box would totally go out. After about 20 seconds, the light would flash orange and then eventually turn solid orange, before turning white again. Sometimes after flashing orange, it would go off completely again and then eventually, after seconds (no more than a minute) it would start flashing and then become solid again. Most times it does reconnect first time but sometimes it gets into these loops as per below:- An example of an extract of the router log-file when it randomly disconnects but then finds it difficult to just re-connect and the light goes off again: syslog: Line 0: VDSL2 link down
    syslog: Line 0: xDSL G.994 training
    syslog: Line 0: VDSL G.993 started
     (This "down, training, started, down, training, started" loop routine would repeat itself almost like it can't find the connection? I could be wrong as I have limited understanding of what the log-files mean) Response: I called Sky support who, after a 20 minute line test their end called me back and confirmed it was an external fault and they would dispatch an Open Reach engineer to the cabinet within 72 hours.
    Wednesday 10th JuneSUMMARY: OpenReach engineer arrived. Didn't really find an external fault. Left and Sky closed the case.Open Reach technician van outside around 13:00hrs. By this point a couple of disconnects. In fact, I had noticed the van because I was going downstairs to have a look at the router as it just then disconnected again! The engineer said that he was at the cabinet and couldn't find an issue. I invited him in to have a look at our setup which is straight forward. We have a faceplate socket which Sky installed in 2013 and it is in the master socket. Until this issue this week, we've had no issues like this to-date. However the engineer suggested it could be an issue with our router?? Despite Sky already confirming issues externally.Response: Anyway he went away and then I called Sky support after a couple of hours. They confirmed the engineer's report suggested he did replace something at the cabinet, and the case was now closed. The woman on the phone also proceeded to suggest that it was a problem 'our' end. *Note* it's in the master socket, it's a microfiler installed by them, it's a 2 month-old router one of their latest models (I know it's not the best around) and we've not had issues like this really. Not recurring intermittent ones anyway. She suggested if it continued again, to take the faceplate off the socket and put a Microfilter directly into it and plug the router into that to test if it's the faceplate. Also replacing the modem cable which I did to no avail. Thursday 11th June:I was out for most of the day so was unable to probably monitor the line or use my usual services on this to see if any changes were made. Friday 12th June:SUMMARY: Still disconnecting...!Five times today, the internet connection has died. It happened during an important work call over Skype, it happened three times during online gaming on the Xbox and a couple of other times. There never appeared to be any regular event or theme which caused any of the disconnects (e.g. use of an appliance (interference), use of a specific internet service or a specific device suddenly being re/introduced/connected to the network. I thought it could be a load issue... i.e. too much stuff happening but it would do this when online-gaming on an xbox and pretty much nothing else happening on the network other than 2-3 devices connected doing nothing strenuous at all other than being on the wifi network!). I unscrewed the faceplate and plugged the SR102 directly into the wall with a traditional micro-filter. This didn't seem to work and still disconnected.Response: Called Sky support AGAIN. They did another 25 minute line test and, yet again, determined an EXTERNAL fault, relating to the "configuration" of the line this time.. Any thoughts on this? They have reopened the case and dispatched an OR engineer again... Fingers crossed, but not too happy. In summary:I'm no stranger to coincidences in combinations of faults in equipment like this....Can this be a degredation of both the original faceplate and the router itself?? But then two separate Sky support technicians (including a 2nd tier staff worker) have declared it an EXTERNAL fault?? I'm stumped, and frustrated.. I'm a bit miffed about this and if there are Sky support staff on these forums it'd be good to get a firm response as we spend in the region of £2,000 with you per year for your services and they are not impinging on my efficiency to carry out my business and social activities.  

    Right so, the problem is all sorted now. Below will explain what it was in the end, as I appreciate so many people have issues but then don't update the forum so it's less help to others trying to diagnose their own issues). Since my previous message (above), the following happened:- - That BT Openreach engineer must have fixed a coincidental error at the exchange in related to the Configuration / CI / Line card. After he fixed the issue, he made a note to say he reset the DLM on the line. The line was relatively stable for a few days but did drop a couple of times during the night (checked the log files).- After Thursday of the same week the line deteriorated to a near unusual point and the crackling on the phone line itself was getting worse. We even have dropped calls due to this.- Another call was put into Sky at the beginning of the third week of problems. A third external error , this time they called it "copper line impairment", obviously relating to the copper phone cabling. Apparently the very first call out cited this too. A BTO engineer arrived literally a few hours later at the green cabinet (three houses down from me), identified a clear fault from that end and then called Sky to arrange to attend our premises on Thursday.*At the same time, a brand new router was sent to me. However as you'll read below, this wasn't the issue so it made no affect*** All the while many drops on internet, almost unusable in all arenas - VOIP, online gaming , phone conferences, normal phone calls, downloading, uploading, etc. Because of the immense number of drop outs and because BTO number 2 did NOT fix the issue but decided to reset DLM anyway, our DL and UL speeds were decreasing by the hour! After a bit of research and having checked everything myself, I can only come to the conclusion it was our copper cabling (!!) from the pole to the house... as it is almost 50 years olf (if not older!). So far it's cost Sky (or however they work it out) about £800 for the BTO call-outs. I insisted on them putting a note on this fourth BTO engineer to say the copper line should be replaced otherwise we're talking about a false economy now.- Thursday of week 3 arrives. Fourth BTO guy attends. Absolutely fantastic guy. Knew his stuff but also just got on with it... Did all the tests, failed all of them. Determined it was indeed the copper cabling. Luckily we have a second line installed (unused, only installed about 10-15 years ago so current, clean cabling) so instead of reeling a whole new cable from the pole, we just swapped round the connections on the wall. He even put a whole new drop cable in and wired right up to our master socket with a brand new MK3 face place... All within 2 hours. By this point the DL and UL were still rubbish and decreasing still but the internet and phone line has never been more clear and stable! Unfortunately he wasn't a Broadband specialist so he couldn't reset the DLM.- One last call to Sky that evening and a fifth BTO attended the next day, did some quick checks which the connected passed first time, reset the DLM and it's not dropped once. DLM has since completed and we have a rock steady connection for the past two weeks. In summary:-- Replaced copper cabling from pole > house.- Replaced copper cabling (drop cable) from house > master socket- Replaced master socket faceplate (as a precaution) ... Replacing a copper cable which is 50 years old does not take a long time nor does it cost much in comparison to the amount of times I had to call them out at Sky's expense. Apparently a lot of BTO engineers like to avoid replacing cabling as it's the most frustrating part of the job. The guy who worked with us said he just gets on with it if it needs to be done. In short: If you've tried everything, consider the cabling. The reason why it was intermittent and then got worse was because this occurred during the hottest days of the year where the cable finally gave up the ghost. As it dried out from the rain, there were lots of gaps and chinks which weren't passable as it was when it was wet. Note re Sky service:-- We had some good tech support people. Though a lot of times I went straight to Tier 2 tech officials as I was a bit fed up repeating the synopsis of the issue every time I called as it got longer and longer each time! I did feel like a few of the times I was leading the investigation but then I am the customer and wanted it fixed the most. Just make sure you try all the basic potential solutions before contacting them (new cables, master socket, turn router on/off, line checks, if Wifi change channels etc etc) to save you going through those hoops. If anything, the weak link was BTO as it's real hit and miss who attends your house, how busy they've been that week and how much they really want to do the major tasks of their job description!! Luckily we had a great Line expert attend who was happy to do the major work required in the end. Sky then later partially refunded for loss of service for over three weeks.... All in all a good outcome. Hope this helps some.

  • Comparisons?

    Has anyone had experience with the Apple 30" display and any of either the Eizo, LaCie or high end NEC monitors. Would you care to comment on any comparison you care to make?

    Lee,
    Get the best you can afford. Factor in the cost of doubling the memory that comes as standard.
    And then factor in how long you want the laptop to last you. Five years seems to be a good goal, think of what you may need in 5 years time. And just how much further that extra £1000 between top of the range powerbook and low-end iBook will get you, comes out at £4 / week.
    Look back 5 years to get some idea of what might change in requirements in a laptop:
    Firewire may be an essential,
    Wireless may be an essential,
    Bluetooth may be essential,
    CPU speeds are up by a factor of 3,
    Graphics card / memory is up by a factor of 16,
    Disk sizes up by a factor of 5,
    Basic memory up by a factor of 4.
    I suppose you have to consider Apple's alleged move to Intel, maybe you only want something to last 2 or 3 years. I'm not sure if Intel will appear in anything other than low-end macs, I think there are too many heat issues with their chips.

  • Last Week - This Week Snapshot

    Hi,
    I'm trying to produce a sales pipeline report to show comparisons from last week to this week on certain fields within the sales stage history subject area. I have got this to work for the Total Contract Value field by using the variables VALUEOF("LAST_WEEK_BEGIN_DT") and VALUEOF("CURRENT_WEEK_BEGIN_DT"), within a column formula and filtering that column by last week, then dulicating that column and filtering by this week, i.e. FILTER("Historical Sales Stage".Revenue USING (Opportunity."Close Date" >= VALUEOF("LAST_WEEK_BEGIN_DT"))). The issue I'm having is if I then want to do this for other non - metirc columns (i.e. Probability %), it doesnt allow me because you cant filter on non metric columns within a formula. So how else can I go about this please??

  • Calendar Year/week 2014 53rd week

    Hi Experts,
    I have a BEx query that users use for comparison between previous and current Months, between previous and current Year and previous and current week of the year.
    In 2013 we have 52 weeks but in 2014 we have 53 weeks
    Users want to compare sales on weekly basis based on previous years and the current year but 53rd week on 2014 year is messing up the numbers.
    is it possible to exclude or include this 53rd week from the query by using some kind of filter or variable.
    Can you please help me the step by step process on how I can achieve this..
    Also please advise if I use this BEx query as a source for BOBJ webi query, is it easy to achieve this task in webi and How ?
    Will appreciate your help.
    Regards

    Hi Imran,
    I wonder is it really the correct thing to exclude a week of your sales?
    Do you want to compare week 10 this year V's week 10 last year - if so you can change your offset to -53 instead of -52.
    We use a lot of Customer Exits on time, and where we derive MTD values, we make allowances in the code for 53 week years.  Typically we add the extra week into August (different companies will make different decisions) so in August for last year our week numbers would be 31-34 and this year would be 31-35.  Sept last year would be 35-39 and this year 36-40  and so on.
    With regards

  • Is it true there is no tilt in week 38 and newer nanos?

    Hopefully I will have my last discussion with Apple about this tomorrow, after the local Consumer Affairs agency finishes talking with the Apple Customer Representative.
    She is trying to get me either yet another replacement nano 3g (it will be my 4th) or a refund for my tilted LCD one.
    One question I have is this:
    I have heard people in these forums say the tilted screen problem was fixed by week 38. The nanos I've gotten so far, with the tilted screen problems, have all been week 35 and 36, so I have no basis for comparison.
    Among people who have seen the tilt problem, have any of you seen this problem with week 38?
    The Apple guy says he can't guarantee that I would be sent a week 38 one or newer, but the Consumer Affairs agency woman says she thinks that is not reasonable and that she can at least make them provide one of the later ones if they have fixed the problem.
    So what I want to know is whether it is worth pressing the issue on that point. I would press the point if I knew for sure that the problem was resolved by week 38.
    Does anybody know?
    Thanks,
    doug

    You may find this MacNN article of interest when conferring with Apple and your local Consumer Affairs agency.
    http://www.macnn.com/reviews/apple-ipod-nano---third-generation.html
    Paragraph 6 would indicate that Apple is aware of problems with some earlier models having tilted screens and states "The company has said it would replace the affected models."
    Perhaps you could email the author through the link on the page and get more detail on that statement.
    That seems to be a far different response than the "it is within spec" some folks seem to be getting from local retail stores.

  • Quotation comparison in SAP

    I work for a construction group (Group ABC), we have SAP ECC implemented. I joined here about 2 weeks ago. And I am shocked knowing the way SAP is used here, more of emails used than SAP itself for processes.
    I am working for a company (Company C) within the group which has been setup to do purchases for the projects. We are not located at the project sites (Company A&B) (intercompany).
    We (Company C) get RFQs from one site and from another we get PRs, these are downloaded from ME4L and ME5A respectively every morning! The buyers at Company C are then assigned with PRs manually and they have to contact vendors, negotiate and get quotations. There are no PIRs maintained (Only PIRs created from past POs rolled data), nor any source lists.
    Now is where I need help:
    The buyers at Company C enter various quotations from suppliers into an excel spreadsheet template called “comparitives”, and the spreadsheet is sent to the project Company A or B via E-mail, they select the materials & vendor based on pricing and other criteria, the spreadsheet is then sent back to the purchasing team at Company C with the selection of vendor and materials which is then further negotiated by the buyers.
    This is a process (Emails) which I am sure firms do not ideally use for this purpose, other than to communicate or notify etc. Is there a way that this can be moved to SAP? Is there something standard in SAP for this? It is more like an intercompany situation, however we do not have or store the materials, they are shipped directly to the project site from the vendor.
    Looked at vendor evaluation, doesn’t seem right because these may be new vendors or new materials and I suppose vendor evaluation works based on past POs issued. (correct me if Im wrong)
    Unfortunately, the company doesn’t have an SAP team in-house, they have outsourced it to a third party and no changes are approved easily, because of cost issues. Any help would be great. I am no consultant, however I have fair understanding on SAP MM processes. If there is a way this can be done without development, that'd be great!
    Cheers!

    Hi Daine,
    Yes you can attach an image to the PR if you have a document management system configured. Open the PR in ME52N and say create attachment:
    Once you have attached the file, click on the services menu again and click on send as shown below. The PR will go to the required person in his SBWP and he can go over the price comparison.

  • Comparison books Iphoto 4, iPhoto 5 early, iPhoto updated

    I just had delivered last night 5 copies of a hard cover 52 page book.
    First off, very fast turnaround time as it took 5 days from order to delivery. Impressive.
    Half the photo's in these books have been repeated in 2 previous hard cover books, one was made with iPhoto 4 right after that was released and one was made right after iPhoto 5 was released but prior to any updates.
    The initial iPhoto 5 book was made from the default dpi pdf setting and the 5 books were created at a hacked setting of 300dpi.
    The iPhoto 4 book is by far the sharpest, most balanced and cleanest as far as image out of the 3.
    The newest 300dpi books are a slight improvement in sharpness over the previous iphoto 5 book - however the contrast and color balance are quite different on some of the repeat images from the earlier 2 books.
    Somewhere the newest version of iPhoto 5 or the production pdf seems to blow some of the contrast way out. The invisible PDF is not like this and test prints form this same pdf to a high end printer I have access to were not like this.
    The lpi of the images has changed along the way - I will measure the actual screening used tonight and post back. A much coarser screen appears to be used now.
    Addiionally, according to FedEx, my books were shipped from a New York State address unlike the west Coast pick-up point of the previous orders. Maybe the problem is varying equipment/QA, etc., from factory to factory?

    I did take home a line gauge and a loop to give the 3 books a once over. Just a reminder that all 3 books are hardcover, 1 from iPhoto 4 with default dpi, 1 from iPhoto 5 (initial version with default dpi), 1 from iPhoto 5 after updates with increased dpi to 300dpi. The last iPhoto 5 book I had delivered via FedEx shows a New York State pick up point instead of the previous West Coast pick up points. Maybe books are being produced in multiple locations?
    For comparison I looked at common photo's used in each version of the book. The photo's are the same ones from my iPhoto library and were not changed and reproduced the same size,
    Because of the fineness of the screen I could not get an accurate reading on any of the screens but they appear to be 150lpi+ in all books.
    There is a noticeable difference from the iPhoto4 Book and both iPhoto 5 books. The iPhoto 4 book was a finer screen and I would say by a decent enough amount. Both iPhoto 5 books had slightly coarser screens and if they are different between the 2 it would be by a small amount.
    There is a large difference of clarity between both iPhoto 5 books and this is mostly due to the 300dpi change in the prefs file. Though some of it could also be due to equipment differences or quality control as well. The sharpness of the iPhoto4 book is unmatched in the others.
    One item I noticed is a difference in the paper. I did not have a paper gauge to measure the weight of the paper but it seems similar as does the vibrancy and coating of the paper. The iPhoto 5 books have a paper that folds over easier and when turning the page can fold in on itself if the paper is gripped lower towards the spine. This may be the result of the chance the paper grain being vertical instead of horizontal. Maybe this is a result or requirement of the 2 sided printing?
    Also, in both iPhoto 5 books there is a noticeable difference in image tonal range. There appears to be less mid-range tones and an increase in each extreme resulting in images having much more contrast with increased shadow and highlight. This means more blacks/darks, and white areas being more white with less midrange tones. It appears to be more of a problem with single tone images (black and white but saved as rgb and not greyscale) rather than color images. Sepia images exhibit this a great deal as well.
    Why this happens can be anyone's guess but may be as simple as a problem with iPhoto and how it handles the images, to incorrect calibration on the image output, or the actual reproduction mechanism or simply less quality control.
    Lastly, the iPhoto 4 book is top quality, the initial iPhoto 5 book was only OK and print quality certainly improved with iPhoto 5 updated with the 300dpi resolution change but does not equal the level of quality with iPhoto 4. The 5 books I had delivered this week will be used and hopefully appreciated but it is too bad they are not to the initial quality I was excited about.

  • Time Comparison

    Dear Friends,
    I need your valuable suggestion to proceed.
    Functional Flow :-
    My client will have a Construction project with a budgeted hours to finish and the Manager will assign Employees to this project. they need to know all the budgted hours are allocated to Employees to finish the work.
    Technical
    for example the budgeted hour will be in the format of 50:30 (Means 50 hrs and 30 minutes) and Workers will be allocated to this project like
    Monday 8:00 to 17:15
    Tuesday 9:00 to 16:45
    Tables := Projects Column Budgeted_hours varchar2(6)
    Assignments Column Allocated_hours varchar2(6)
    My question is how to compare the budgeted hours and allocated_hours of the workers to see whether all the budgeted hours are allocated to workers as I am storing these all values in Varchar2. Why I am using Varchar2 is that, they want to have this ':' sign with time slot.
    Can anyone help me how to do this. Whether I need to change varchar to Date ? if so the data will be inserted with date and time which is not correct for this situvation. Need help
    Please write to me at [email protected]
    Regards

    I would suggest you store elapsed time as a number of days e.g. 50:30 hours = 50.5/24 days = 2.1041666667 days. You'd need to write some simple PL/SQL database functions to parse and convert data between the numeric stored format and the desired input/output character format. The reasons for this are
    1) arithmetic becomes simple e.g. adding another 8 hours to the budgeted 50.5 hours
    2) where appropriate, it coincides with Oracle's way of handling date arithmetic (the difference between two DATEs is a NUMBER of days.
    If you can determine an employee's total number of allocated hours, then the comparison you mentioned becomes easy: unallocated = budgeted - allocated. You can also
    Your problem introduces lots of complexity due to the fact that a project day is not the same as a 24 hour calendar day (e.g. employee shift is only 8 hours, 5 days a week). Any calculation involving start or end dates will have to take the project calendar and work shifts into account. I suggest you invest some deep thought into the fundamental data manipulations needed by your project, and create a package of simple functions and procedures to form the foundation for higher level operations. Here's one example:
    FUNCTION SHOW_AS_HHMM (p_durn IN NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    l_hours_n NUMBER;
    l_hours_c VARCHAR2(16);
    l_minutes_c VARCHAR2(2);
    BEGIN
    -- convert days into hours
    l_hours_n := p_durn * 24;
    -- convert hours into characters
    l_hours_c := to_char (trunc (l_hours_n));
    -- convert fraction of hours into minutes characters
    l_minutes_c := to_char (round ((l_hours_n - trunc (l_hours_n)) * 60));
    return l_hours_c || ':' || l_minutes_c;
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    raise;
    END show_as_hhmm;
