Hi
I want to create a table that has a datetime column, data type=datetime and I want the date to start form 01/01/2004 00:00:00 to 01/01/2008 00:00:00 the increment will be by minute like
01/01/2004 00:01:00
01/01/2004 00:02:00
01/01/2004 00:03:00 and so on up to 01/01/2008 00:00:00
I will use this time dimension in bussiness objects.
please provide me with the SQL sript to do this.
Has anyone written or come across a routine that validates start and enddate in a slow changing dimension? (eg verifies there is no overlap in any of the records).
thanks in advance
I have a result set as follow
Jobid, ClassId, ClassValue
1 GroupName Joes Auto
1 EffDate 1/1/6
1 Userid XYZ1234
....
2 GroupName Sams Eatery
2 EffDate 2/1/6
2 UserID ABC0987
ETC...
I need
Jobid GroupName EffDate Userid
1 Joes Auto 1/1/6 xyz1234
2 Sams Eatery 2/1/6 abc0987
I can manipulate this in a pivot table for reporting however I need this to be a table for reporting by filterable searchable information. What can I do short of defining each field with case logic, or union queries.
I need to find the missing months in a table for the earliest and latest start dates per ID_No. As an example:
create table #InputTable (ID_No int ,OccurMonth datetime)
insert into #InputTable (ID_No,OccurMonth)
select 10, '2007-11-01' Union all
select 10, '2007-12-01' Union all
select 10, '2008-01-01' Union all
select 20, '2009-01-01' Union all
select 20, '2009-02-01' Union all
select 20, '2009-04-01' Union all
select 30, '2010-05-01' Union all
select 30, '2010-08-01' Union all
select 30, '2010-09-01' Union all
select 40, '2008-03-01'
For the above table, the answer should be:
ID_No OccurMonth
----- ----------
20 2009-02-01
30 2010-06-01
30 2010-07-01
1) don't include an ID column,
2) don't use the start date/end dates in the data or
3) use cursors, which are forbidden in my environment.
I have picked an exmple from this forum, to help me explain my current problem...
"I'm looking for a solution to import data from a flat file into an normalized data modell. To explain it a little simpler think about to following:
The Data Souce is a CSV-File with FirstName, LastName and Category. Sample data could be
Dirk; Bauer; sailing
Peter; Bauer; fishing
Marc; Bauer; reading
In my data modell I have defined the 2 tables "Person" and "Category":
Table "Person"
----------------
[PersonID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL
[CategoryID] [int] NOT NULL
[FirstName] [nvarchar](50)
[LastName] [nvarchar](50)
Table "Category"
----------------
[CategoryID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL
[CategoryName] [nvarchar](50)
Now I like to read my first row from the source and lookup a value for the CategoryID "sailing". As my data tables are empty right now, the lookup is not able to read a value for "sailing". Now I like to insert a new row in the table "Category" for the value "sailing" and receive the new "CategoryID" to insert my values in the table "Person" INCLUDING the new "CategoryID".
I think this is a normal way of reading data from a source and performing some lookups. In my "real world" scenario I have to lookup about 20 foreign keys before I'm able to insert the row read from the flat file source.
I really can't belief that this is a "special" case and I also can't belief that there is no easy and simple way to solve this with SSIS. Ok, the solution from Thomas is working but it is a very complex solution for this small problem. So, any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Dirk"

Hi Guys
how do I create a dates table which contains a list of all the possible dates in sql server 2005??
Thanks
We are trying to do some utilization calculations that need to factor in a given number of holiday hours per month.
I have a date dimension table (dimdate). Has a row for every day of every year (2006-2015)
I have a work entry fact table (timedetail). Has a row for every work entry. Each row has a worked date, and this column has a relationship to dimdate.
Our holidays fluctuate, and we offer floating holidays that our staff get to pick. So we cannot hard code which individual dates in dimdate as holidays. So what we have done is added a column to our dimdate table called HolidayHoursPerMonth.
This column will list the number of holiday hours available in the given month that the individual date happens to fall within, thus there are a lot of duplicates. Below is a brief example of dimdate. In the example below, there are 0 holiday hours for the month of June, and their are 8 holiday hours for the month of July.
DateKey MonthNumber HolidayHoursPerMonth
6/29/2015 6 0
6/30/2015 6 0
7/1/2015 7 8
7/2/2015 7 8
I have a pivot table create based of the fact table. I then have various date slicers from the dimension table (i.e. year, month). If I simply drag this column into the pivot table and summarize by MAX it works when you are sliced on a single month, but breaks if anything but a single month is sliced on.
I am trying to create a measure that calculates the amount of holiday hours based on the what's sliced, but only using a single value for each month. For example July should just be 8, not 8 x #of days in the month.
Listed below is how many hours per month. So if you were to slice on an entire year, the measure should equal 64. If you sliced on Jan, Feb and March, the measure should equal 12. If you were to slice nothing, thus including all 15 years in our dimdate table, the measure should equal 640 (10 years x 64 hours per year).
MonthNumberOfYear HolidayHoursPerMonth
1 8
2 4
3 0
4 0
5 8
6 0
7 8
8 0
9 8
10 4
11 16
12 8
Im trying to populate a table with fields of date type [DT_DATE] using the Slow Changing Dimension Transformation component. When I add the date fields to the component it would not build the stream. The wizard fails and tells me the date fields are not of the same type. The fields in the destination table are of type date? and the input columns are of type [DT_DATE]. Am I missing something?

Hi, I'm a bit lost on this SPROC, hoping somebody can jumpstart my brain a bit please.
What I have is tbl_Classes, with a row for every class that's been taught at a school. Each class was taught on certain dates, stored in tbl_Class_Dates. tbl_Class_Dates stores EVERY day the class met, not just the start and end dates. However, in this one case, I want to list class history only showing start and end date... something like:
SELECT Class_ID,
MIN(Class_Date) AS 'Start_Date',
MAX(Class_Date) AS 'End_Date'
FROM tbl_Class_Dates
WHERE ...
GROUP BY Class_ID, Class_Date
HAVING Class_Date > @SomeCutoffDate
Problem is, when I run the above format, it still gives me EVERY class row, and the MAX and MIN functions don't seem to work...
I think I'm on the wrong track here. Incidentally, the old PROC is using a CURSOR and looping through, getting the start and end date and storing it all in a temp table. I'm hoping to improve on that efficiency.
Thanks very much for any help, or let me know if I can clarify better. Cheers!

I have two parameters in my report (StartDate and EndDate). I want to default these parameters to the previous month.
For example... If today is 5/17/2007, I want StartDate to be 4/1/2007 and EndDate to be 4/30/2007. If today would be January 30th 2007, I would want StartDate to be 12/1/2006 and EndDate to be 12/31/2006.
How can I do this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need getting the HH:MM:SS format when we do datepart.
For example, am using a variable to capture the time taken to execute the package using Start and End time stamps captured.
I would like to get the HH:MM:SS format of the datediff.
Ok, so I've been struggling with the logic behind this one for a while, so I thought I'd ask you guys for some ideas :)
Basically, I have the following table structure
Employee(employee_number, continuous_start_date, ...)
The problem lies in working out a summary of service categories (0-6months, 7-12months, 13-24, 25+).
I can work out the length of service in months with the following code
SELECT DateDiff(mm, continuous_start_date, GetDate()) AS 'Service in months'
FROM employee
So the first stage is to summarise the length of service into groups as mentioned above.
Then the final stage is working out how many people are in each group!
Hope I have given enough information - and please do not post a full solution - just some hints on how to get the desired result ;)
Thanks later, and in advance :p

Hi,
I have a fact table which contains the transaction date, ProductID, QTySold, TotalSaleAmount, etc...
Since I am new to OLAP therefore I need help to now create the table for TIME on which I will be basing my time dimension... I have read a few articles and have gathered that at the end of the exercise my fact table should have a 'timeid' column which will be linked to the same column in the table being used for the time dimension...
I have gone through the tutorial of MS-Analysis Service and FoodMart example have some idea about what he structure of this table will be.
My questions are:
1. I need guidance on how to create the table for time. One option is to just copy the table used in the Foodmart example but thought that might work but my concept will not be clear
2. The structure of the table to be used for time dimension is quite clear (i think this part is easy). What I want to understand is that how do i POPULATE this table which data? Can some one provide me with scripts, SPs, or whatever to do this.... This is the area where I am lost...
3. How will I enter the "TheDate" column in my fact table and link it with my table for time dimension...
Looking forward to someone's help.
BTW, I would like to share a very good article which i recently found in one of the newsgroups. Some of you might like appreciate it too:

Hi all,
I am trying to use the custom code in the report but I don't think I am understanding how this is being used.
I have a function to get starting months for a report parameter.
The function is below:-
--------------------------------------------------------------
Shared Function GetStartingMonths() as String
dim strDefault as string
dim CurrentMonth as String
Dim SqlString as String
'strDefault = Month(Now) & "/1/" & Year(Now)
CurrentMonth = "5/1/2002"
Do While CDate(CurrentMonth) <= Now
SqlString = SqlString + "Select " & CurrentMonth & " as value, " & MonthName(Month(CurrentMonth)) & " " & Year(CurrentMonth) & " as MonthYear"
CurrentMonth = dateadd("m",1,CDate(CurrentMonth))
if Cdate(CurrentMonth) = Now then
Exit Do
else
sqlString = SqlString & " Union "
end if
Loop
return SqlString
End Function
---------------------------------------------------------------
what i am trying to do here, and hopefully produce a sql string that would fill my dataset of dates and their representation.
In the dataset, I had put the following expression
=Code.GetStartingMonths()
However, I can't seem to get the parameter to display the dates. shows up as disabled in my report.
Am I doing something wrong here or is there a better way to doing this ?
Additionally, I was wondering whether there is a better SQL code that would achieve the same thing I am doing ?
thanks !

I'd like to show the assets with a start date and end date for the placement of the asset.
The start date to be the placement date and the end date to be the next placement date of the asset.
Where there is no next placement date to then show the end date as the current date, so hopefully the table will show as the following.
ID AssID LocID StartDate EndDate
1112015-05-01 2015-05-06

Hi, dear friends,
Just found that I am not able to ignore the name column property for role-palying dimension even though I only select one of the key columns for this dimension in the mining structure where the role-playing dimension is used? E.g I have a fact table (which is the case table for the mining structure) which is related to the role-playing date dimension. The schema is as following:
Dim_event_day_time_key
Dim_carrier_day_time_key
Dim_domain_day_time_key
.....................................
and other attibutes in the fact table.
When I dragged the 'hours' attribute from the dim_day_time table to the mining structure, if I left the key columns of 'Hours' as the above 3 columns, then I have to select a name column, by then I dont have a name column in the dimension table yet. Therefore I want to jsut select one key column as the key of that role-playing dimension in the mining structure, but then I am not able to ignore the 'name column' property as it still always asks me to select the 'name column' for that.
Therefore my question is: we are not allowed to select only one key columns in the mining structure for the role-playing dimension? And we will have to always go to the data source view to create a named calculation as the new column for the role-playing dimension?
Hope my question is clear for your advices and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello, I need to find the percentage of a a given contract start and end date for the year given.For example, the contract_start date is 05/08/2000 and the contract_end date is 04/30/2010, of course this will be 100% if you want to find the percentage for year 2008 but if you wanted to find the percentage for year 2010, then the percentage would be something like 42% (appr. 5 months) (b/c it would for year 2010, the contract would be from 01/01/2010 thru 04/30/2010)I need to find the percent from the beginning of the year, to the end.a few examples: start: 01/01/2007 end: 05/01/2007 if for year: 2007; this is 4 months @33.33% start: 05/01/ 2006 end: 06/01/2007 if for year: 2007, then 6 months @ 50% (01/01/2007 - 06/01/2007); but if it was for year 2006 then it would be 7 months @ 58% (05/01/2006 thru 12/31/2006) start: 01/01/2000 end: 03/01/2010 for year: 2008 then 12 months @ 100% Any help would be valued.

I need to create a date dimension where the lowest level is month. I've seen examples which use the list function such as
Source = List.Dates(#date(2000, 1, 1), Duration.Days(DateTime.Date(DateTime.FixedLocalNow())-#date(2000,1,1)), #duration(1,0,0,0)),
The above increments by 1 day which is defined in the 1st argument of the #duration. My question is how can I dynamically change the value of this 1st argument such that its the number of days in the current month hence it will increment to only return the 1st date in the Month e.g
1/1/2000
1/2/2000
1/3/2000
etc..
I prefer to use an elegant approach if possible, the alternative would be return all dates, create a custom column from these dates which returns the month date - delete the dates column - get a distinct list of the month dates.

View 0 Replies View RelatedI am using Sql Server 2012. I have a table which has a field as Datetime (it is a table in Dynamics CRM 2011 so I have no control of the data type). Say this field is called BisStartDate. If I run this query in management studio.
select
BisStartDate, BisStartDateutc

I will get:
BisStartDate BisStartDateutc

*in CRM, datetime is saved in 2 fields, one is the current time, the other one is the utc time.
You can see the offset between the datetime and utc is 5 hours.
However when the same statement was running inside a SSIS package on the server, the result returned is:
BisStartDate BisStartDateutc
2014-07-28 23:00:00.0000000 2014-07-29 05:00:00.000
And if I do
datediff(MINUTE,CRMAF_BisSection.ttc_section_startdatetimeutc,CRMAF_BisSection.ttc_section_startdatetime)
I will get -5 if I run it in ManagementStudio and -6 is running on server package(running inside VisualStudio will be -5, same as running a query in ManagementStudio).
I think when the record was saved, “date” is 5 hours offset to UTC time but now the system use the current utc offset which is 6 hours. I just want to use the BisStartDate as it is. How do I let the SSIS turn off the conversion.
The same datatime is saved in another system then we compare them to check the data entry. Now because of this one hour difference, sometime the Day will be different.
