Special Price in Magento - magento-1.8

When setting the Special Price in Magento back end a start date is required. This date is then populating the news_from field. The result is that if I give a product a special price it is also being identified as New
Magento 1.8.1.1
Is there a way to avoid this?
Thank you

A date isn't necessarily required for adding a special price. If you do want to put a date for the special price to begin and end then you should use the 'Special Price From Date' & 'Special Price to Date'. These can be found under the pricing section. This is separate from the news from and news to attributes. Hope this helps.

NetSuite Saved Search formula to get a field's value as of a given date

I am required to use a saved search to answer the question: how many cancelled Sales Orders did we have on a specified date? I must use a saved search because ultimately it will be something viewed on a dashboard (and this is what the end users are used to). I know that I can and how to complete via SuiteScript; this is explicitly a question related to Saved Searches and/or SuiteAnalytics. The status of our sales orders fluctuates more than a “normal company”, i.e. 1 SO might change status 3 or 4 times before being “done”. My initial thought was to create a saved search and add “System Notes fields…” as results. So I’d have something like the following:
For the given date 7/19/20 the status was “Canceled” since 7/19/20 is greater than 6/12/20 and less than 7/22/20. I would like to get this field’s value on 7/19/20 programmatically and display it as a Saved Search results column but I don’t know how. I think I’m stuck because I don’t know how to tell NetSuite in a saved search to look at the date in the row above or below. Said differently I don’t know how to compare the given date to all the system note dates to find the system note date that is right before (use the old value) or after (use the new value) the given date. In excel I would do the following, how do i do this in a NetSuite Saved Search?
To apply a dynamic date filter:
In the Criteria tab, add a date filter:
Filter = System Notes : Date is on today
In the Available Filters tab, add the same date filter:
Filter = System Notes : Date,
Show in Filter Region = Yes

Add x Days to a Date Based on vlookup Output Excel

What I'm trying to do is give a due date based on an input date, type of review, and department.
For example if the department is ABC and the review is retrospective, the due date will be the input date + 30 days.
But if the department is ABC and the review is concurrent, then the due date will be input date + 1 day.
I know I can concatenate the department and review into the vlookup table but I'm not so sure how to get the output to be the due date that I want.
Can anyone help?
EDIT:
Per the first answer below, I hashed out an input table with concatenated columns just in case I needed them. It is a bit more complicated than I originally thought.
Input table with date logic
I'd love to simply edit the source data but the report isn't readily available in the database. Could I still use the suggestions below?
Assuming you have a lookup table for the number of days to add depending upon the department and review type similar to the one below, you can use an INDEX/MATCH/MATCH and simply add it to the input date:
=$A2+INDEX($H$4:$J$5,MATCH($B2,$G$4:$G$5,0),MATCH($C2,$H$3:$J$3,0))
SOLUTION FOR AN ALTERNATIVE LOOKUP TABLE LAYOUT
If your layout table is more like as below, you can use a MINIFS formula (or MAXIFS if you would prefer):
=$A2+MINIFS($I$3:$I$8,$G$3:$G$8,$B2,$H$3:$H$8,$C2)

How to fix a Index+Match based on input value thats also dynamic

I have a great challenge I hope you can help me with.
What I want to achieve:
In the sheetname “Overal campaign information” I have an identical setup to the other sheetnames (for example Week 1 – Email, Week 1 – CPC and so on).
I want to user to first select their week and year and based (under E1) on these to selections, you can select a type that matches that week and year input.
What have I tried?
I have written an INDEX+MATCH that works well, but that is based on a hard coded sheet name and is not dynamic.
I have also tried the INDIRECT function to find information regardless of worksheet name, but failed hard
I have tried to CONCATENATE year+week to get a key to match against point 1, but also not succeeded
Wanted result
Based on the time frame selection (week and year) the type will show available types that matches that input.
Then it will fill in the information in C1:C13 and B17:V:300
Not really clear what you means by "fill in the information in C1:C13". But formula in 'Overal campaign information'!B17 could be
=OFFSET(INDIRECT("'Week "&$F$2&" - " & $F$4&"'!$B$17"),ROW(B17)-17,COLUMN(B17)-2)
This then can be filled into 'Overal campaign information'!B17:V300.

Find Next and Latest Date, With Conditions

I have a list of asset IDs and service dates. I'd like to find the last service date and the next service date for a specific asset (each in their own column, with each row corresponding to an asset ID). The way I tried it was to use a formula like this:
{=IF(MIN(IF(Lists!$J$11:$J$31 = 'Action Overview'!A2,Lists!$K$11:$K$31))=0,NA(), MIN(IF(Lists!$J$11:$J$31 = 'Action Overview'!A2,Lists!$K$11:$K$31)))}
This would be to find the last service date, and I'd use 'MAX' in place of 'MIN' for the next service date. The problem is that my list contains dates before the last service date and after the next service date, so I wind up with dates far in the past and far into the future. I think the way to fix this would to be to use =TODAY() to get the current date, and use logic that says "maximum date for this asset less than or equal to current date" for the last service date and "minimum date for this asset greater than or equal to current date". I just don't have the familiarity with Excel's functions to make this work.
Any help you can provide with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
I managed to find a solution myself. Here's what it came out to be for the last day in for service:
{=MAX(IF(Table4[Asset]='Action Overview'!A2,IF(Table4[In Shop]<=TODAY(),Table4[In Shop])))}
And here's what it was for next service date:
{=MIN(IF(Table4[Asset]=A2,IF(Table4[In Shop]>=TODAY(),Table4[In Shop])))}
Table4 is just the table I have the schedule set up in. You'd just select the range you have your values in if you weren't using a table.

categorizing documents depending on their date fields

I've been stuck with an annoying problem for a while that I can't fix. I have a field in all of the documents that represents time- a date in format dd.mm.yyyy.
What I'm trying to do is to categorise them- Show the documents that have todays date, that will have todays date in closest 7 days, etc.
Here's the code (formula for the categorized field) that I have:
#If(#Today > pi_due_date; "Late docs"; #Today=pi_due_dat; "Todays docs";((pi_due_date - #Now)/86400)>0 &((pi_due_date - #Now)/86400)<7;"This weeks docs";"Future docs")
Everything was fine until today (after 12:00 PM) I noticed that this part: #Today=pi_due_dat; "Todays docs"; does not work, it does not return the document in the "Todays docs" category. Pretty much the same thing is happening to all the other categories and I don't understand what is causing this problem.
pi_due_dat is missing the 'e' at the end.
Assuming it is more than that, though, you'll want to make sure that you are only comparing the dates and not a date/time.
Try #Date(pi_due_date) = #Today instead.
I would like to point out that using #Today or #Now in a view (selection criteria or column value) will create serious performance issues, as the view will be constantly re-indexed. It will affect all applications on that server as well.
You may want to rethink the design, perhaps have a scheduled nightly agent that set a flag on the documents to indicate how they are boing categorized.
