I am able to get Yearly and Daily,Day of week data from my table using functions here.
But i need ways to achieve two more types of functions Quaterly and Weekly, Like DatePart in SQL Offers. Suggest any methods of achieving it.
The function UTC_USEC_TO_WEEK is mentioned on the same page that you have linked to. This will help you to get the week day.
For quarter, a query something like this may work...
select INTEGER(INTEGER(SUBSTR(date_time, -14, 2))/3) AS QUARTER, count(date_time) as count
from company.summary GROUP BY QUARTER
I have the date time string as year-month-day + time format like...
2012-07-01 23:59:59
Try to use this
EXTRACT(QUARTER FROM date) as quarter
You could use the STRFTIME_UTC_USEC(timestamp_usec,'date_format_str') using the %m format to receive the month (1-12) and an if statement. An example would be:
IF(STRFTIME_UTC_USEC(timestamp_usec,'%m') IN (1,2,3),'Q1',IF(STRFTIME_UTC_USEC(timestamp_usec,'%m') IN (4,5,6),'Q2',IF(STRFTIME_UTC_USEC(timestamp_usec,'%m') IN (7,8,9),'Q3','Q4')))
standard SQL
CASE
WHEN EXTRACT(MONTH FROM date) BETWEEN 7 AND 9 THEN 'Q1'
WHEN EXTRACT(MONTH FROM date) BETWEEN 10 AND 12 THEN 'Q2'
WHEN EXTRACT(MONTH FROM date) BETWEEN 1 AND 3 THEN 'Q3'
WHEN EXTRACT(MONTH FROM date) BETWEEN 4 AND 6 THEN 'Q4'
END AS quarter

I am facing a relatively trivial problem. I have a list of start dates for each fiscal year. For example, 03.01.2019 for the 2019 financial year or 30.12.2019 for the 2020 financial year.
Now I want the calculated column in my calendar table (Power Pivot) to count up from the start date from 1-53 per week until the next start date.
It would look like this:
03.01.2019 - 1
04.01.2019 - 1 ....
Does anyone know how to do this?
You cen get the ISO 8601 weeknumbers by adding 21 in the optional part. Here a quick example I created. But if you also have dates which start in the middle of the year you should go with a calendar, like #Kosuke Sakai posted:
Generally, the recommended approach for this requirement is to prepare a fiscal calendar in the data source (DWH, MDM, Excel, or somewhere), rather than to calculate with DAX.
Having said that, it is possible with DAX.
Assuming you have a table like below. (Let's call it FiscalYears)
First, you need to add FiscalYear calculated column to your Calendar table with following formula.
FiscalYear :=
VAR CurrentDate = [Date]
RETURN CALCULATE (
MAX ( FiscalYears[FiscalYear] ),
FiscalYears[StartDate] <= CurrentDate
)
Then, you can use this to calculate WeekNumberInFiscalYear column.
WeekNumberInFiscalYear :=
VAR StartDate = LOOKUPVALUE (
FiscalYears[StartDate],
FiscalYears[FiscalYear],
[FiscalYear]
)
RETURN DATEDIFF ( StartDate, [Date], WEEK ) + 1
The result will be looking like below.
I am looking to calculate the sales for the SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR. I have a table which looks at the sales for the last few years and using the SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR function I can draw back to last January as a whole, but what I am wanting is to pull it to the date exactly and not to the end of the current month last year.
My formula below is pulling through for example all of January last year.
Sales Last Year:=CALCULATE([Sum of Sales],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(Dates[Date]))
Is there a way of doing this using just the SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR function rather than indivudual daily calculations?
I do not claim that this is the best (or only) way to do this, but how about:
Sales Last Year =
CALCULATE (
[Sum of Sales],
FILTER (
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Dates'[Date] ),
'Dates'[Date]
< DATE ( YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 1, MONTH ( TODAY () ), DAY ( TODAY () ) )
)
)
Essentially, I've added a FILTER() statement around the SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR clause, and filtered the results to be before the current date last year. If today is 8-Jan-2018, this means any sales on or after 8-Jan-2017 will be filtered out.
In essence, I'm taking the current date (TODAY()), breaking it down into its component parts, subtracting 1 from the year, then building it back up into a date value using the DAX DATE() function.
The reason I do this rather than using DATEADD() to subtract a year Excel-style is because DATEADD requires a table of dates as an input and TODAY() is a single date. You therefore cannot put TODAY() into DATEADD() directly.
Instead of using TODAY(), I could have a measure that identifies the most recent date for which there is data and call that instead. It's the same solution.
I'd be curious if others have a better way to do this. This strikes me as a common problem people must run into a lot.
I’m trying to compare a measure as of today through the same day and month for the prior 4 years (e.g. through June 6 of 2016, 2015, 2014, etc.).
For each year, I decided to count the number of days since the beginning of the year, and sum my values through that number of days for each year.
To identify whether a date should be included in the year to date comparison, I used the formula where my date is in cell A1:
=IF((A1-DATE(YEAR(A1),1,1)+1)<=(TODAY()-DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,1)+1),1,0)
I’m looking for a way around the issue of the extra day added to leap years. In other words, after February 28th, the day count will always be off by one in a leap year, and trying to use Februrary 29th in a non-leap year will return an error.
I’d like to adjust this formula, but I’m open to using a different function & formula if it gets me the right results.
you can check any information about February, 29th. If an error occurs, you know its no leap year. Catch that error with =IFERROR(;).
Assuming a table structure like this:
A:Date | B:Value
----------------------
01/01/2016 | 0
01/01/2015 | 1
01/01/2014 | 2
01/01/2013 | 3
01/01/2012 | 4
Formula
To - for example - calculate the average of the previous four (excluding the current) years on January 1st (today is 01/01/2016):
=SUMPRODUCT(
(MONTH(A:A)=MONTH(compare))*
(DAY(A:A)=DAY(compare))*
(YEAR(A:A)>YEAR(compare)-5)*
(YEAR(A:A)<YEAR(compare))*
(B:B)
) / (
SUMPRODUCT(
(MONTH(A:A)=MONTH(compare))*
(DAY(A:A)=DAY(compare))*
(YEAR(A:A)>YEAR(compare)-5)*
(YEAR(A:A)<YEAR(compare))*
1
)
)
Result
For the above example, the result is 2.5
Explanation
To select only those rows representing the same month and day:
(MONTH(A:A)=MONTH(compare))*(DAY(A:A)=DAY(compare))
To select only those values from the previous 4 years (excluding the current):
(YEAR(A:A)>YEAR(compare)-5)*(YEAR(A:A)<YEAR(compare))*
The actual values we are interested in:
(B:B)
Divide by 4 for the average over the last four years. This assumes there is no missing data which might be an issue. You could use another SUMPRODUCT (replace B:B with 1) to count the number of resulting rows and divide by that number to handles this case. This seems to be rather slow, but it works.
Note
For performance reason you should not use A:A (a full column) in the formula, just use the actual range you need, which will likely be much faster.
Using the Start Date and End Date of PTO - Personal Time Off Days Used only count days used up to end of prior month, excluding weekends and U.S Holidays in that certain month. Example of a Holiday is Sept 7th 2015 in the United States.
My goals are:
Create a Data Item Month End Personal Time Off Days used.
Of course it should be getting the number of PTO Days USED from the prior month only.
Exclude weekends in that certain month. So if the Resource takes a Leave on Friday and Monday, Saturday and Sunday should not be excluded in the computation.
How to exclude U.S Holidays, if this is possible that's great but if it's not possible then I'm okay with numbers 1, 2 and 3.
I have created a Data Item column that captures the PTO days used. But this is good for Year to date.
Case when [PTO Info].[PTO Audit].[PTOAuditTypeId] = 31571
and [PTO Info].[PTO Audit].[TimeOffTypeId] = 31566
then [PTO Info].[PTO Audit].[PTODays]
when [PTO Info].[PTO Audit].[PTOAuditTypeId]=31572
and [PTO Info].[PTO Audit].[TimeOffTypeId] = 31566
and [PTO Info].[PTO Audit].[PTODays] < 0
then abs([PTO Info].[PTO Audit].[PTODays] )
else 0 end
I'm not sure if the query below can help.
A calendar table is really going to help you out here. Assuming it has one record per calendar date, you can use this table to note weekends, holidays, fiscal periods vs Calendar periods, beginning of month/end of month dates. A number of things that can help simplify your date based queries.
See this question here for an example on creating a calendar table.
The main point is to create a data set with 1 record per date, with information about each date including Month, Day of Week, Holiday status, etc.
Without a calendar table, you can use database functions to generate your set of dates on the fly.
Getting the Month number for a date can be done with
extract([Month], <date field goes here> )
Getting a list of values from nothing will be required to generate your list of dates (if you don't have a calendar table with 1 record per date to use) will vary depending on your source database. In oracle I use a 'select from all_objects' type query to achieve this.
An example from Ask Tom:
select to_date(:start_date,'dd-mon-yyyy') + rownum -1
from all_objects
where rownum <=
to_date(:end_date,'dd-mon-yyyy')-to_date(:start_date,'dd-mon-yyyy')+1
For Sql Server refer to this stackoverflow question here.
Once you have a data set with your calendar type information, you can join it to your query above:
join mycalendar cal on cal.date >= c.PTOStartDate
and cal.date <= c.PTOEndDate
Also note, _add_days is a Cognos function. When building your source queries, try and use Native functions, like in oracle you can 'c.PTOStartDate + a.PTODays'. Mixing Cognos functions with native functions will sometime force parts of your queries to be processed locally on the Cognos server. Generally speaking, the more work that happens on the database, the faster your reports will run.
Once you have joined to the calendar data, you are going to have your records multiplied out so that you have 1 record per date. (You would not want to be doing any summary math on PTODays here, as it will be inflated.)
Now you can add clauses to track your rules.
where cal.Day_Of_Week between 2 and 6
and cal.Is_Holiday = 'N'
Now if you are pulling a specific month, you can add that to the criteria:
and cal.CalendarPeriod = '201508'
Or if you are covering a longer period, but wanting to report a summary per month, you can group by month.
Final query could look something like this:
select c.UserID, cal.CalendarPeriod, count(*) PTO_Days
from dbo.PTOCalendar c
join myCalendar cal on on cal.date >= c.PTOStartDate
and cal.date <= c.PTOEndDate
where cal.day_of_week between 2 and 6
and cal.Is_Holiday = 'N'
group by c.UserID, cal.CalendarPeriod
So if employee with UserID 1234 Took a 7 day vacation from thursday June 25th to Friday July 3th, that covered 9 days, the result you get here will be:
1234 201506 4
1234 201507 3
You can join these results to your final query above to track days off per month.
I want to write a function in Excel to change the date. The logic is like this: if the month is (Jan, Feb or March) the result show me one year past (-1 year) and if the month is (April to -December) the result show the current year (which year the date shows).
example: if date is 02,Jan,2012 the result show me 2011 else show me 2012.
=IF(MONTH(G3) >=4, YEAR(G3), YEAR(G3) - 1) where G3 is the date to test, is one way.
Please try:
=IF(OR(MONTH(A1)=1,MONTH(A1)=2,MONTH(A1)=3),2011,2012)
With 02-Jan-2012 in A1 try,
=YEAR(A1)-(MONTH(A1)<4)
For a full date use one of these,
=DATE(YEAR(A1)-(MONTH(A1)<4), MONTH(A1), DAY(A1))
=EDATE(A1, -(MONTH(A1)<4)*12)
To extract fiscal year use:
=YEAR(A1) + IF(MONTH(A1)>=4,1,0)
I think in your case you would need:
=YEAR(A1) - IF(MONTH(A1)>=4,0,1)
If the months is before 4th month then subtract 1 year, else keep the same year. I wouldn't convert it to a full date DD/MM/YYYY with a 1 year subtracted, to avoid confusion keep it as year only YYYY.
Already plenty of answers, but thought I'd throw another one up:
=YEAR(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)-3,DAY(A1)))
