I am trying to get past dates using WORKDAY.INTL. For example i need to create a shipping plan and the company only ships on certain days. i.e. Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Here is an example below:
=WORKDAY.INTL("1/07/2019",-5,"0101011")
The result should be 24/06/2019, however, my formula is returning 18/06/2019.
Can you please help?

let me further elaborate on my concern:
I am working on some test reports on BIRT to be familiarized with it and came across an unsettling problem.
I created a data source that connects to a test SQL Server database, a data source that will return building, floor, room, and the number of employees that contain more than one employee, and two String parameters that lets the user choose the building and floor so the report filters by just that one.
The problem happens when I test it with a building and floor that I know are in the result set. For some reason the report filters a blank result, as if the building and floors are not present in the data set result.
I tried filtering by just the building first and then the floor but the same thing happens. If I take out the filter then the report shows up without a problem.
Why does this happen? I am assuming it's the way I input the parameters, but I am not sure.
Can anyone help me? Thanks!
I started working on Qlikview a week back and I am working on this dashboard.
I have a particular requirement which I am not able to achieve:
So, I have a calculated dimension "Categories" added in my script which based on certain conditions tags each name as SLEEPERS,STARS,WEAKLINKS etc.
Now, I have flagged the names based on certain condition which works fine.
The issue is, I want the sum of those flags on the level of calculated dimension CATEGORIES(SLEEPERS, STARS..etc) and my month field.
I am not able to achieve it because, the flag itself is a calculated field so sum of calculated field doesn't work. I tried using aggr, function but it returns zero for all rows. I am not sure why. in the aggr function I use the sum(Aggr(Flag,MONTH,Categories))
Can someone suggest a work around for this? I have attached the screenshot of the report for better understanding of the requirement
A little background on the report:
This is a productivity report for our employees working at our business. We determine their productivity based on the duration of the visits with clients. Some of our employees offer group sessions. They charge each client within the group, even though they are only giving, for example, one hour of service, they can bill for 10 hours if there are 10 people in the group. We determine what service they gave by service codes.
So, I have two fields in this formula, a service code field and a duration field.
The duration field is initially a STRING field from the database, even though it only gives number data, so I change it to a numberVar. The service code field is also a string field, and it sometimes does contain characters and numbers.
What I need Crystal Reports to do is take the sum of the duration. However, if the service code is, say, "1000", it must first divide the duration by 3 before summing it. This is where I get caught up.
Here's my code for the duration:
local numbervar num1;
If GroupName ({billing_tx_charge_detail.v_SERVICE_CODE})="1530" then
num1 := ToNumber({billing_tx_charge_detail.v_duration})/3
else num1 := ToNumber({billing_tx_charge_detail.v_duration})
Then I do a separate formula for the sum, named sumDuration:
Sum(#duration)
I get the error that this field cannot be summarized. After searching Google for two days I have found that Crystal cannot summarize fields or formulas involving constants. If I simply say:
local numbervar num1;
num1 := ToNumber({billing_tx_charge_detail.v_duration})
then I can summarize #duration. What am I missing? It has to be something simple, but I'm just not seeing it. Is there a way to create a custom function to accomplish what I am trying to get here? Or is it even simpler than that?
One person suggested creating a SQL command in order to do the calculations before the data gets to the report. I am a SQL newb so I had no idea where to even begin with that.
If you are grouping by Service Code and placing the above formula in the footer you will only be computing {billing_tx_charge_detail.v_duration} for the last record in the group. If you are intending to use the formula and sum the results and place the results in the Service Code footer try the following. (basically remove the reference to group name)
If {billing_tx_charge_detail.v_SERVICE_CODE}) = "1530" then
ToNumber({billing_tx_charge_detail.v_duration})/3 else
ToNumber({billing_tx_charge_detail.v_duration})
You can use variables (num1) if you want to but they are not needed.
You can still use the second formula you referred to and place in the group footer OR you can place the first formula in details section, right click and insert a summary to the group footer. You can also place in the report footer if you need it to total there as well.
I have a view that lists employee (EmpID), request number (ReqNo), date request was opened (OpenDate) and the date it was moved to the next step in the process (AssignDate). What I am trying to do is get an average of the daily queue size. If EmpID 001 has 20 requests on 1/1/13, then has 24 on 1/2/13, 21 on 1/3/13 the average over 3 days should be 21.66, rounded up to 22. I have the following view:
CREATE VIEW EmpReqs
AS
SELECT [EmpID], [OpenDate], [AssignDate], [ReqID]
FROM [Metrics].[dbo].[Assignments]
WHERE OpenDate BETWEEN '01/01/2013' AND '12/31/2013' AND
[EmpID] IS NOT NULL AND
[ReqNo] NOT LIKE 'M%'
I then wrote a query to pull individual employee's queues per day:
/* First attempt to generate daily queue #s */
SELECT * FROM BLReqs
WHERE [BusLiaison] LIKE 'PN' AND
[OpenDate] <= '11/15/2013' AND
[AssignDate] > '11/15/2013'
Because no one has attempted to pull this information before, I have no way of verifying how accurate the above is. I tried using current dates, since I can see those in our database to compare but the code doesn't work, nothing is returned when I change the dates to 2014 and run my query.
What is the easiest way to verify that my code is correct, short of manually counting a day's queue?
Can anyone see any issues with the above scripts?
Is there a way to get the above code to work with current dates?
This question is really hard to answer because it is kind of broad and has little information at the same time. I'll try anyway:
Because no one has attempted to pull this information before, I have
no way of verifying how accurate the above is.
Try checking the result of this query for a few sampled dates.
I tried using current dates, since I can see those in our database to
compare but the code doesn't work, nothing is returned when I change
the dates to 2014 and run my query.
So clearly, the query is not working. You should probably find out why. Run the query for a date of which you know that it should return results but doesn't. Remove conditions one by one to see which one is incorrectly removing all rows. This should be enough to identify the bug.
Can anyone see any issues with the above scripts?
No, looks fine. A very simple query. That's why I said that we have too little information. There is some key piece of information missing that allows us to find the bug.
Is there a way to get the above code to work with current dates?
Stop staring at the code and hoping for a revelation. Debug it. Experiment.
Basically, I've been trying to make this query work for a while in Access and it's really frustrating me so instead of playing around with the criteria, I've decided to just do it in SQL instead but I can't quite figure out how to do this bit.
What I need to do is create a query that shows which members haven't returned an item that they're currently taking out on loan. If possible I'd like to include a calculated field to state the date is was due back and how many days late it is.
The fields I'm using are as follows;
Table = Loan
Toy Name
Hire Date
Duration (in days)
Returned Date (if it hasn't been returned, the cell is blank)
Table = Toy
Purchase Price
Hire Price
you wrote:
a query that shows which members haven't returned an item
your table does not have members in it. secondly table toy have nothing related to toy like toy name or something. Please provide further detail of tables.
one more question what is the meaning of blank? Is it Null or blank string?
