Extract MMM-YYYY and YTD from DD-MM-YYYY

Posted on Nov 07, 2011 at 07:45 AM 19 Views

Hi all,

I have a query with a Selection prompt for a field called Clearing Date in the DD-MM-YYYY format.

In the output of the query, I have Keyfigures that need to be restricted to the month entered in the clearing date and that needs to be displayed as MMM-YYYY.

Eg: When the query is executed, the user enters Clearing date as 02-02-2010

In the output of the query, I need to display Feb-2010 and the Key figures in the result need to be displayed for the month Feb-2010.

Is there a way of extracting the MMM-YYYY from the Clearing date entered into a new variable? If so, I can restrict the KF with the new variable created for MMM-YYYY.

Please let me know.

Thanks and Regards,

Srilakshmi B

    Hi srilaxmi,

    U can achive that by using the customer exit. here u r entering the calendar year as type dd-mm-yyyy.

    so here u have to extract the 6 characters starting from the 3rd characters like you are storing the calendar year values in one variable "date1"

    so here u get the required o/p (mm-yyyy).

    if i_step = 1.

    date2 = date1 + 3(6). // here it will extract the characters starting from the 3rd upto 6 characters in lenght .

    result = date2.

    I think u got it.

    Hope it helps,

    Thanx & Regards,

    RaviChandra

      Hi Ravichandra,

      Thanks for your inputs.

      But I need to achieve this in the BEx query without coding for exit variables. Please suggest ways of handling this in the query variables/formulas.

      Thanks and Regards,

      Srilakshmi B

    you are telling that Key figures in the result need to be displayed for the month

    so why dont you creare a user entry variable for calmonth.

    and you want that description as JAN FEB ...DEC.

    through customer exit it will be achive.

    if you need let me know i will give the code.
