Year to Date reports using Prompts

Hi.
I'm trying to build a report that will show results of sales compared to Annual targets. All those fields are fields directly at the opportunity level (amount and targets). I also need to put a prompt to select dates from and to, for the Opportunity Close date. I've used Variables for this, and am comparing throuhg two filters "Opportunity.Close Date greater than pvCloseDateFrom" and "Opportunity.Close Date lower than pvCloseDateTo". I'm also presenting the % Achievment, which is the % of Total Sales compared to the Target field.
So far the report is simple
User - Total Amount of Sales - Target FIeld - % Realized.
The difficulty I'm facing concern the next set of columns in the report : I also need to present the Year to Date Target that is represented by the number of days between the two dates prompted (for instance if I prompt 01/01/2010 and 31/03/2010 needs to show 25% of the total target) along with the % of SAles compared to this new target calculated field.
I'm having issues with the TIMESTAMPDIFF function through the Presentation Variables as it either tells that the type is not correct even if I'm trying to use the CAST function or it discard part of the string when I'm trying to rebuilt the date as a timestamp : in my configuration date are presented D/M/YYYY where my timestamp function expects DDDD-MM-DD HH-MI-SS.
Is there anyone who could have an example of such calculations in a report based on dates and duration ?
Thanks in advance for your help !!

Dear Adam,
For Year to Date , We have created a Customer Exit , For working , Create a Variable for 0calday and populate that with from and to value ...to value would be Sy-datum and From value is year starting date. Hope it helps..
Thanks,

Year to Date Report (excluding current month)

Hello,
I need a formula to pick data from 01/01/2010 to the end of the previous month.
I'm familiar with using Today-1 etc but require a formula that enables me to run the report at any time during the month without changing the parameters.
Thanks,
Joe

To calculate the start of the current year...
DateAdd("yyyy", DateDiff("yyyy", #1/1/1900#, CurrentDate), #1/1/1900#)
which will return: 1/1/2010 12:00:00AM
Technically, the end of last month is the exact same time as the start of the current (12:00:00.000 midnight)... So...
DateAdd("m", DateDiff("m", #1/1/1900#, CurrentDate), #1/1/1900#)
which will return 10/1/2010 12:00:00AM
But for viewing purposes, people tend to not like seeing 10/1/2010, when they are looking for 9/30/2010... so you can use this. Just be aware that you'll loose that last 1 second (most people don't mind)
DateAdd("s", -1, DateAdd("m", DateDiff("m", #1/1/1900#, CurrentDate), #1/1/1900#))
which will return 9/30/2010 11:59:59PM

Year to date report - how do I get dates without hard coding a year?

I am writing a monthly report that will run for example on Sept1 but want to extract data for Jan 1, 2012 thru Aug 31, 2012. But also need to consider when I run report on Jan 1, 2013 for all of 2012. I know I could use the add_months(sysdate,-1) to get previous month but then will still have issues running on Jan 2013 for the year.
SELECT data
FROM tables
WHERE data_date between start-date (which would be Jan 1, 2012 but also when I run on Jan 1 2013 for previous year)
and last_day(add_months(sysdate, -1)
Thanks in advance

Hi,
This would do it :SQL> !cat q.sql
with t (dt, val) as (

 select to_date('2011/04/09','yyyy/mm/dd'), 234 from dual union all
 select to_date('2011/06/28','yyyy/mm/dd'), 345 from dual union all
 select to_date('2011/10/18','yyyy/mm/dd'), 456 from dual union all
 select to_date('2011/12/23','yyyy/mm/dd'), 567 from dual union all

 select to_date('2012/09/22','yyyy/mm/dd'), 012 from dual
------ end of sample data ------
select *
from t
where dt >= trunc( add_months(trunc( &&dateexec. ,'month'),-1) ,'year')
and dt < trunc( &&dateexec. ,'month')
undefine dateexecThe dateexec parameter is just here to "simulate" sysdate of different points in year.
(your actual query would have sysdate where the dateexec parameter appears)
SQL> @q
Enter value for dateexec: sysdate
DT VAL
07/01/2012 00:00:00 678
13/05/2012 00:00:00 789
19/07/2012 00:00:00 890 sysdate does the current year up to previous month.
SQL> @q
Enter value for dateexec: to_date('20120122','yyyymmdd')
DT VAL
04/01/2011 00:00:00 123

Loop through month and year till date while using a merge statement

Hello Guys,
I have 2 tables with the following datas in them:-
Company
CompanyId CompanyName
1 Company1
2 Company2
3 Company3
Employees
EmployeeId EmployeeName CompanyId StartDate
1 Employee1 1 12/21/2011
2 Employee2 1 01/20/2012
3 Employee3 2   03/23/2012
4 Employee4 2   07/15/2012
5 Employee5 2   01/20/2013
6 Employee6 3 12/17/2013
Now i want to check, How many people were recruited in the team in the specified month and year? I have the storage table as follows:-
RecruiterIndicator
CompanyId Year Month EmployeeRecruited
1 2011 12 1
1 2012 1 1
2 2012 3 1
2 2012 7 1
2 2013 1 1
3 2013 12 1
This should be a merge stored procedure that should update the data if it is present for the same month year and company and insert if that is not present?
Please help me with this
Thanks
Abhishek

It's not really clear where the merge to come into play. To get the RecruiterIndicator table from Employess, this query should do:
SELECT CompanyId, Year(StartDate), Month(StartDate), COUNT(*)
FROM   Employees
GROUP BY CompanyId, Year(StartDate), Month(StartDate)

Need help in creating prompt for Month To Date Report.

Hi All I need to create a Month To Date Report using month(Start date & End date) as prompts, By default it has to run on the previous month data or if user selects his own range of dates then it has to bring the data for that range of dates ,one more thing is i am not showing the month and date columns on the report.Can any one help me how to create prompt for this in DeskI XIR2

Could you clarify some things? You are saying you are trying to transform the xml output of a webservice with an xsd, but an xsd is a schema that describes the allowed format of a xml file. If you want to transform xml from one format to an other (from one xsd to an other) you have to use a xsl file. You can make and test this with JDeveloper. Are you calling the webservice from esb or bpel?

Time difference report using date range

Hi,
I would like to know a clue as below in the same thread as it is more relavant to this, if you do not mind.
I have one more query using the same table and set of data for one of the report.
Here the the column call_date is timestamp.
Calls by n min interval
Parameters should be startDate and endDate.
This is actually 2 queries. The simplest one, should return a list of games with the start and end time, similar to previous report.
The second, should return number of calls every n minutes interval. So, if n is 1, should return something like this:
Period Calls
starting (Nos.)
21:00 34
21:01 42
21:02 55
22:58 88
22:59 63
Ideally, the number of minutes in an interval should be dynamic, (can be passed as a parameter).
Many thanks in advance.
Jayesh

As of Date reporting

What is the best way to implement "As of Date" reports using oracle discoverer?
Herer is what we need to do:
First get the Policy data based "As of Date" entered by user and then use this data in conjunction with other tables to get a report.
Thanks

I was able to perform AS of Date reporting by using the analytic functions - Lag or Lead. Essentially they retrieve the next(Lead) or previous (Lag) column's value in the table based on your parameters set in within the function. That way you can have a date the record is current and the date next record becomes current( the next activity date) - which is in essence the 'end' date. This allows you to build a between statement and use the date parm from the end user. Note: this assumes for a given record of data you have the 'activity date' - for which it became active.
You would build a between statement that looks like this:
<As of Date Parm - entered by user via prompt> BETWEEN Activity Date and <Lead Activity Date function> .. Note you will want to build a calculation with the Lead function syntax and use that calculation itself in the between statement..
As far as Syntax goes - here is an example - but if you are not familar with windowing functions - you should up on them...
(Lead(SGRSACT_ACTC_CODE) OVER (PARTITION BY SGRSACT_PIDM,SGRSACT_TERM_CODE ORDER BY SGRSACT_PIDM,SGRSACT_TERM_CODE,SGRSACT_ACTC_CODE))

OBIEE - Reporting using different time measures - year - month

I have a request where the user wants to enter in an account period (YYYYMM - example: 200911). The report should display the YTD amount up to the end of that month, the same YTD amount for last year, and then show the amount for that month and the amount for the same month last year. So basically it would be:
YTD Amount (Year: 2009 Months: Between 1 and 11)
YTD Amount Last Year (Year :2008 Months: Between 1 and 11)
Month Amount (Year: 2009 Month: 11)
Month Amount Last Year (Year: 2008 Month:11)
I can get these to work independently. Like I can get the YTDs to work by themselves and the Months to work by themselves. I just can't get them both on the same report. I have tried setting these as level based measures, but when I do, the YTD Amounts are displaying the amount for the entire year (pulling in December data).
Any advice on how to achieve this?
Thanks.

Hi Raghu
Could you pls. let me know , the syntax how to use this.
User would select Year and Month from the Prompt and measures should be rolloup for the last year YTD. e.g the fiscal calendar is Apr - Mar . so if user selects 2012 - Jan , then last yr YTD should be caluclated from 2010-Apr to 2011 Jan.

Using prompt results in formuls.Is it good to have them in a report level or universe level?Here is the requirements.

User enters year for which sales need to be shown for entire year and past year.Most of the time this would be current year and past year.
But here if i put filter on report level for current year and add another query for past year,my report is only showing sales for query1 and showing blanks for another query.
Can some one please help me with it?

Hi Rajeswari,
You need to further elaborate your requirement.
Seems like the second query does not have data for last year.
What are you trying to achieve? Are you using prompts input in your report?

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.

Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1. New Report
2. From Create New Connection-> XML
3. Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4. Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

Characteristic details belonging to Order line 5
How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

Report Using A Stored Procedure Is Caching Data

Post Author: springerc69
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I converted a report from a view that worked fine to a stored procedure to try and improve the performance of the report, but when I publish the report it seems to cache the data. When you change the parameters you use to call the report or simply run the report again with the original parameters the report doesn't run the sproc and just shows the cached data from the original request. If I right click on the report and select refresh (web based crystal report), it prompts for the parameters. I just close out the prompt window, report window and click on the link for the report again it returns the correct results based on the new parameters or a refresh based on the original parameters. I've checked the cache time setting and set it to 0, and if you close the Internet Explorer window that originally called the report, open IE back up and request the report it will return the appropriate data. I have also verify that the report is not setup to save data with report. This is on Crystal XI Server.

Which viewer are you using?
It might be that your IE settings are caching the report pages. because you're using an HTML viewer.
Try the Active-X viewer.
I've forgotten which icon it is that changes the viewer...it's under the preferences options, I think it's the one that looks like a hunk of cheese on the right upper side.

What is an ageing report? What are the data sources used to develop an agin

Hello BW gurus,
I was going thru some of the BW resumes. I could not understand some of the points mentioned below. Kindly go thru them and please explain each of it.
Thank you.
TR.
     Developed AR ageing report, created invoice layout and processed invoices.
What is an ageing report? What are the data sources used to develop an aging report
     Worked on month-end and year end processes such as Balance Sheet Statements and Profit and Loss Accounts.
What data sources does one use to get Balance sheet and P&L accounts tables and fields.
     Involved in the end to end implementation of BW at Reliance Group as a team member.
What are the tasks a BW consultant normally performs when he is involved in an end to end implementation project or
a full life cycle project?
     Extensively worked on BW Statistics to optimize the performance of Info Cubes and to create Aggregates.
What do you mean when you say worked on BW statistics to optimize the performance of Info Cubes.
What are aggregates why do you need them?
     Prepared design documents from the Business Requirement documents and identified the
relevant data targets for satisfying the customer requirements.
What are the design documents does one prepare, please give an example.
Is cube a data target?

What is an ageing report? What are the data sources used to develop an aging report
Aging refers to values in different time period ranges. Example, the customer (credit) aging report can look like this.
customer (credit) for current period, 0 to 30 days, 30 to 90 days, 90 to 120 days. This is the way aging is classified.
What data sources does one use to get Balance sheet and P&L accounts tables and fields.
For P&L information, you may use 0FI_GL_6 datasource (or 0FI_GL_10 if you use ERP 5.0 version). This datasource reads the same information used in R/3 transaction f.01 (table glt0).
What are the tasks a BW consultant normally performs when he is involved in an end to end implementation project or a full life cycle project?
Requirement gathering, blueprint creation, development etc

Design document is basically a document to say how the design is to be developed for a particular solution ex: FI it says what is the data fow and what are the data targets to be used and how data shld be stored for providing the client a solution they need.
Is cube a data target?
Yes cube is a data target.

Passing a date range to a Crystal Report using OpenDocument

Hi,
I am trying to call up a Crystal report in InfoView using a hyperlink with the OpenDocument function call.
It is working fine with the following URL:
http://<server name>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=ARcnOcErTA1FidjRJ_sT0Yw&sType=rpt&sRefresh=Y&lsSCompany+Code=1300&lsMCost+Center=[12345],[67890]&lsSCost+Element=0000100123
However, once I added the date range into the parameter string, like this:
http://<server name>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=ARcnOcErTA1FidjRJ_sT0Yw&sType=rpt&sRefresh=Y&lsSCompany+Code=1300&lsMCost+Center=[12345],[67890]&lsSCost+Element=0000100123&lsRFiscal+Year+Period=[Date(1,1,2011)..Date(1,9,2011)]
It returns an error message, "An error has occurred: java.util.Date ", to my browser.
I am wondering if I am missing any Java library or Java class path.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Joyce
Edited by: Joyce Chan on Aug 30, 2011 12:25 PM

How do I check if the parameter passing in is in date type?
the following is exactly what I've tried:
&lsRFiscal+Year+Period=[Date(2010,10,10)..Date(2010,10,15)]
Would the error message be logged in the server, maybe I can find more information for the error log?
