so everyday I receive sales data from the previous day. So today November 15 I have data from July 2021 until November 14 2021. What I want is to show this data for the current month by aggregating by day. I use a quicksight visual with a MTD (Month To Date) filter. Everything is fine so far.
The problem is on each first date of the month, I see "No Data" on my visual which is normal since I do not have any data from the current day/month but as I said earlier from the day before.
So what I want to achieve is:
Each 1st of current month: show data from the whole previous month
From 2nd to last day of current month: show data from the current month
Can someone help me please to know how I can achieve this?
I looked for ways to do this and I found dynamic default parameters but this option is not fine with me since I have to fill a username column according to the documentation (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/parameters-set-up.html) and I have many users so it will be not interesting to list all of them.
You can assign parameters to a group rather than a specific user which is much quicker
There is new functionality which allows you to set today or beginning/ending of month/quater/year as default.

We are trying to generate a report to find out turn around time (TAT) of our deliveries of orders, categorize them in different buckets like 0-5 days, 5-8 days, etc.
I am able to get the count of orders delivered within these buckets using the saved search formula (numeric) with summary type as sum:
Example:
case when trunc ({custbody_dlight_kspdeliverydate})-{trandate} between 0 and 5 then {quantity} else 0 end
Now, I also want to get percentage of orders delivered in each bucket. How can I get that?
Secondly, I also want to consider holidays while doing this TAT calculation. currently, delivery date - trandate will give me calendar dates only. If there is a weekend in between or a declared holiday, the result should be able to consider that. Please suggest.
Since you have a delivery date one way to get the number of business days between two dates would be to add another custom field and use a User Event script to update the TAT into that field.
This would let you use a calendar aware script that could manage not only weekends but also any statutory holidays.
I have a couple of SS1.0 examples of date calc scripts in the repo at https://github.com/BKnights/KotN-Netsuite that you could use as samples.
I want to create a mapping of date ranges and what a user says.
For example:
When a user says "MTD sales for Product A", I want the bot to understand that MTD means current month start to today (Date-Period format). How can I do this?
Also, the agent is able to understand first half of last month (15 day range) but cannot understand "first 15 days of last month". How can I map this statement to a date range so that it learns similar examples for the future?
Maybe you can create an entity for date-period formats with the list of formats you want to support?
Then the selected format could be sent to your custom webhook configured in fullfillment. You would receive this format as a parameter in your backend and could do anything you want with this information.
We are using a custom list on Sharepoint where we require users to enter data with a date and time field. We have been facing huge issues in data validity when generating reports due to this field. Following are the kinds of mistakes:
Selecting AM instead of PM or vice verse. Changing to 24 hrs format doesn't help much because then the users select (as an example) 02:00 instead of 14:00 for 02:00PM.
There are errors regarding formats of dates, hence some entries have dates from the future or the past.
As the reports are generated each week, the list needs to be populated by the end of the week. If the month has changed between the week, people forget to change the month in the calendar and the entries are of the last week of the current month instead of the last week of the previous month.
Are there ways to configure the list(Pref. without programming) so that:
A. Only working hours are available in the time related dropdown.
B. Dates from the future are not allowed( Or not available)
Any help would be appreciated.
As far as I know, you won't be able to satisfy these requirements with no custom code.
If you decide to go down the coding path, what you need to do is create a custom field type. Let me know of you need help on this.
In SharePoint MOSS 2007, I have created a custom content type that I will be applying to a document library. One of the required fields is "Incoming Date" and another is the "Due Date".
The Due Date is always 10 working days from the Incoming Date. The Incoming Date is when the mail room received the letter, not necessarily when the document is posted to the library.
From here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb862071.aspx
=DATE(YEAR([Incoming Date]),MONTH([Incoming Date]),DAY([Incoming Date])+10)
adds 10 days, but how can I add 10 working days? I don't have the luxury of VS.NET either per the governance plan of our sharepoint rollout.
Assume a human is responsible for the data entry, but I would like to make it easier for them.
It's overkill for the very specific '10 days' requirement, but this should calculate a due date for any number of days from any start date.
I wrote it to match the result of Excel's WORKDAY function (which, given that every function in a calculated field is an Excel function, should almost be a thing). It's tested for 1 to 146 "days to complete", for each day of the week, and across years, without any sign of inconsistency. Unless I made a typo copying it from Excel, it should work as advertised. The only down side is that it doesnt do holidays, but if the users are accustomed to SharePoint they wont have expectations anyway. At all. Of any kind. For anything. Or hope. Or the muscles in their face that used to be responsible for smiling. Or the ability to look at a child and see anything but the bleak certainty of withering death. So, not a big deal if their task is due on Christmas. It's also sloppier than it probably needs to be.
=[Start Date]+[Days to Complete]
+ ROUNDDOWN([Days to Complete]/5,0)*2
+ IF(WEEKDAY([Start Date])+MOD([Days to Complete],5)>=7,2,0)
- ROUNDDOWN(WEEKDAY([Start Date])/7,0)
+ IF(AND(MOD([Days to Complete],5)=0,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1),-2,0)
+ IF(AND(MOD([Days to Complete],5)=0,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),-2,0)
The first line is...obvious. The second line adds weekends. And the next 4 lines adjust for the deficiencies of the second line.
Firstly I should point out that you are making hard work of that formula, this will do the same.
=[Incoming Date] + 10
From the comments you have figured out that 10 working days (M-F) will always have 2 weekends so you can use this
=[Incoming Date] + 14
But this still doesn't take account of holidays
You are not going to be able to do this without some custom code in a workflow or possibly some javascript 'hack' and a database of holiday days for your region.
One possibility would be to default your Due Date to 10 working days from now when the record is created
=Today+14
and then rely on your users to manual alter this date if there are holidays in that period.
More details on this in a blog entry I've just written - Working Days, Weekends and Holidays in SharePoint Calculated Columns
Perhaps you can work around this limitation by using a workflow (possibly a custom one) to manage the due date? A due date implies that it is an actionable item that should be assigned to somebody anyways.
Note that VS.NET doesn't have to be a luxury - you can use it for free.
I believe I've figured out a fairly bullet-proof method for calculating a 10 business day deadline that accounts for holidays and weekends. 1) Calculate whether the 2 week period is a Monday, and if so, add only 11 days (assuming the start day counts as Day1 of your 10-day period). Otherwise, you add 13 to account for the 10 working days plus two weekends (remember, the start date already counts as Day1; your variables would be 12 and 14 if you did NOT count the start date as Day1). 2) Create a unique calculated column for every holiday and return a value of 1 if the holiday falls in the range. 3) Determine your "gross date" by adding values (weekends and holidays) to your start date. 4) Determine whether your gross date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, and if so, return the appropriate number of days to push off until Monday. 5) Add all the weekend, holiday, and added Sat and Sun values to your start date, which gives you your due date.
NOTE: The only challenges I see here is if a holiday pushes the due date into the weekend, which then pushes the due date to a Monday that happens to be yet another holiday. This didn't happen in my holiday schedule, but it might in yours. In addition, you'll need to keep adding new holidays every year, thus requiring you to recreate the column arrays from scratch for a long-running list. Alternatively, you could start a new list every year.
