SSRS - Retrieve previous of first field outside selected data - ssrs-2008

I have an SQL table that contains 4 columns
1) ID
2) EquipmentID
3) Date
4) Hours e.g. 10000
I have an SSRS report that displays the contents of this table
A from and to date parameter is used to select a date range of records
The table is grouped by equipment
In the equipment group I have added a row below with the following expression in the hours column
Last(Fields!Hours.Value) - First(Fields!Hours.Value) = "Total actual hours used"
e.g. 10000 - 9500 = 500
This is does not return the correct "Total actual hours used"
The expression is incorrect
It should actaully be...
Last(Fields!Hours.Value) - PREVIOUS(First(Fields!Hours.Value)) = "Total actual hours used"
e.g. 10000 - 9450 = 550
My issue is how can I get PREVIOUS(First(Fields!Hours.Value)?
By selecting the parameter date range I do not retrieve PREVIOUS(First(Fields!Hours.Value)
Thanks!

To get the expected result for your report expression i.e. Last(Fields!Hours.Value) - First(Fields!Hours.Value), an appropriate Order BY FieldName clause should be implemented in your T-Sql/SP.

Thanks for the tip Aftab
The SQL is already ordered by the date
Perhaps an example of the table would give you better understanding of why I need PREVIOUS(First(Fields!Hours.Value)
Date: 2012-09-01 Hours = 9500 (This is the total hours recorded at the end of the day and is used as the starting hours for the next day)
...
Date: 2012-09-30 Hours = 10000
Therefore if I use the expression...
Last(Fields!Hours.Value) - First(Fields!Hours.Value) = "Total actual hours used" e.g. 10000 - 9500 = 500
This returns the "Total actual hours used" of 500 for the from 2012-09-02 to 2012-09-30
I need the PREVIOUS(First(Fields!Hours.Value) to calculate the correct "Total actual hours used" from 2012-09-01 to 2012-09-30

Calculate the percent difference between two percentages at two dates in Tableau

The goal is to create a column that shows the percent difference between to percentages.
Tried creating many calculated fields around
-first() - last() -- this just calculates the week number difference
-if date = #2019-02-03# then sum number of records else null end -- invalid
-case when date = #2019-02-03# then sum number of records else null end -- invalid
The 'filter 1' column is where I'd like to display this information.
Expected result:
row 1 in filter 1 should = 12% (absolute percentage change of -5 and 7)
Any help is super appreciated!
I figured this out in two ways:
one created two date fields - one for one week and one for the last week
: then made a diff % measure and used these as the columns.
There's another way, more gnarly:
if first() == 0 then
(
window_sum((if last() == 0 then sum(count_measure) end))
-(window_sum(if first()==0 then sum(count_measure) end))
)
/(window_sum(if first()==0 then sum(count_measure) end))
end

SSRS Count Records expression with date less than group by date

I want to count records that are not marked as completed with a Received date less than the Received date of the row (group by Received date "Details") This will be the Start of Day column showing how many records are in queue.
I have a tablix in VS 2017 SSDT.
Tablix is grouped by Received Date
COLUMNS
Received Date (group by Details) another column same field (Textbox5)
Start of Day
New Tasks
Completed
I'm having an issue with the code logic for Start of Day column field.
I want to count records that are not marked as completed with a Received date less than the Received date of the row (group by Received date "Details")
This code works for New Tasks column.
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!Received.Value < Fields!Received.Value AND
Fields!Completed.Value = "NO", 1,0),"Details")
When I attempt the Start of Day expression I get errors. Textbox5 is the same dataset field used in group by field (Received). I added it to test different approach.
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!Received.Value < ReportItems!Textbox5.Value AND
Fields!Completed.Value = "NO", 1,0),"Details")
Error: rsAggregateReportItemlnBody aggregate functions can be used
only on report items contained in page headers and footers.
Sample data and expected output for Start of Day Column: it should count records in the group by row if they were in queue prior to start of day (yesterday).
You can use running value to calculate the total. To get the prior date total you subtract the group total value
Start Of Day
= RunningValue( 1, SUM, "Tablix1")- SUM( 1)
New Task
= SUM(1) or COUNT(1)
Complete
= RunningValue( Iif(Fields!CompYN.Value = "YES",1,0), SUM, "Tablix1")- SUM( Iif(Fields!CompYN.Value = "YES",1,0))
New Tasks column: =COUNT(IIF(Fields!Received.Value = Fields!Received.Value AND Fields!Completed.Value = "NO", 1,0),"Details")
Start of day column: =COUNT(IIF(Fields!Received.Value < Fields!Received.Value AND Fields!Completed.Value = "NO", 1,0),"Details")

Qlikview - arrayList

i need to calculate difference between two date excluding sunday. I have table with dates and i need to calculate number of dates of repeated days from last date.
if i have dates like that
27-05-2017
29-05-2017
30-05-2017
I use this code in script
date(max(Date)) as dateMax,
date(min(Date)) as dateMin
And i get min date = 27-05-2017 and max date = 30-05-2017 then i use in expressions
=floor(((dateMax - dateMin)+1)/7)*6 + mod((dateMax - dateMin)+1,7)
+ if(Weekday(dateMin) + mod((dateMax - dateMin)+1,7) < 7, 0, -1)
And get result 3 days. Thats OK, but the problem is if I have next dates:
10-05-2017
11-05-2017
27-05-2017
29-05-2017
30-05-2017
When use previously code I get min date = 10-05-2017 and max date = 30-05-2017 and result 18, but this is not OK.
I need to count only dates from
27-05-2017
29-05-2017
30-05-2017
I need to get max date and go throw loop repeated dates and if have brake to see is that date sunday if yes then step that date and continue to count repeated dates and if i again have break and if not sunday than close loop and remember number of days.
In my case instead of 18 days i need to get 3 days.
Any idea?
I'd recommend you creating a master calendar in the script where you can apply weights or any other rule to your days. Then in your table or app you can just loop through the dates or perform operations and sum their weights (0: if sunday, 1: if not). Let's see an example:
// In this case I'll do a master calendar of the present year
LET vMinDate = Num(MakeDate(year(today()),1,1));
LET vMaxDate = Num(MakeDate(year(today()),12,31));
Calendar_tmp:
LOAD
$(vMinDate) + Iterno() - 1 as Num,
Date($(vMinDate) + Iterno() - 1) as Date_tmp
AUTOGENERATE 1 WHILE $(vMinDate) + Iterno() - 1 <= $(vMaxDate);
Master_Calendar:
LOAD
Date_tmp AS Date,
Week(Date_tmp) as Week,
Year(Date_tmp) as Year,
Capitalize(Month(Date_tmp)) as Month,
Day(Date_tmp) as Day,
WeekDay(Date_tmp) as WeekDay,
if(WeekDay = '7',0,1) as DayWeight //HERE IS WHERE YOU COULD DEFINE A VARIABLE TO DIRECTLY COUNT THE DAY IF IT IS NOT SUNDAY
'T' & ceil(num(Month(Date_tmp))/3) as Quarter,
'T' & ceil(num(Month(Date_tmp))/3) & '-' & right(year(Date_tmp),2) as QuarterYear,
date(monthStart(Date_tmp),'MMMM-YYYY') as MonthYear,
date(monthstart(Date_tmp),'MMM-YY') as MonthYear2
RESIDENT Calendar_tmp
ORDER BY Date_tmp ASC;
DROP Table Calendar_tmp;

Qlikview Automate past 12 months selection

I have a combo chart which shows the average days it took for a person to pay their bill.
The Dimension of the Chart is = [Pay Month Year last 12 months]
There are no Dimension limits
There is 1 expression which is called Average and its definition is:
avg({< InvoicefromSqlType = {'Invoices'},[Is Invoice Paid] = {'Y'},[Is Positive Amount] = {'Y'},[Is Paid last 12 months] = {'Y'},DueGroups=,[Pay Month Year last 12 months]=>}[Days to Pay])`
Its is sorted by expression, which is [Pay Month Year last 12 months]
Now the above fields are built up like this:
[Pay Month Year last 12 months]
If([Pay Date] >= '$(vPeriodS12)',[Pay Month year]) as [Pay Month Year last 12 months],
PayLoadOrder:
Load * Inline [Pay Month Year last 12 months
May-2014
Jun-2014
Jul-2014
Aug-2014
Sep-2014
Oct-2014
Nov-2014
Dec-2014
Jan-2015
Feb-2015
Mar-2015
Apr-2015
May-2015
];
Now what is happening is every month when it reaches the end, the next month is needing to be manually added and the first month removed (e.g. in the above I would delete the line May-2014 and at the end add the line Jun-2015)
Also if there are months defined which there is no data for yet i.e. you have Jun-2015 hard coded and the current month this May-2015 then Jun-2015 will show data from 2014 and the order of the months will get mixed up.
What I want to do is completely remove the need to hard code the months above and have this done its self.
If there are any more information you need let me know
Instead of using a "sort order" table that you may have to manually update, it may be worth doing the following:
Create a new field derived from [Pay Date] that returns a month and year that you can sort. For example:
dual(date(makedate(year([Pay Date]),num(month([Pay Date]))),'MMM-yyyy'),
year([Pay Date]) * 100 + num(month([Pay Date]))) as PayMonthYear
Here, the dual function allows you to associate a different representation of a field value to its underlying value. For example, here we set the underlying data to be the year of [Pay Date] added to the month, but state that it should be displayed as MMM-yyyy. For example, internally, QV still sees the value 201502, but displays it as Feb-2015. This means you can sort it correctly based on its underlying value.
Using dual is a big topic, please consult the built-in help for QV for more information.
Change your chart dimension from [Pay Month Year last 12 months] to use PayMonthYear and set the sort to ascending. This would then mean that your months would be sorted correctly, even if a new month was added.
Remove table PayLoadOrder from your script.
Alternative Method
An alternative would be to use a calendar table which joins on your Pay Date field. This would achieve the same thing, however, you could also integrate your "year to date" indicator into the calendar as well and remove it from your main table. An example I quickly threw together is shown below:
MinMax:
LOAD
Max([Pay Date]) AS MaxDate,
Min([Pay Date]) AS MinDate
RESIDENT MyData;
LET varMinDate = Num(Peek('MinDate',0,'MinMax')); // 0 is first record
LET varMaxDate = Num(Peek('MaxDate',-1,'MinMax')); // -1 is last record
LET varToday = Num(Today());
MasterCalendar:
LOAD
monthstart([Pay Date]) >= monthstart(AddMonths(Today(),-12)) as PaidInLast12MonthsFlag,
dual(date(makedate(year([Pay Date]),num(month([Pay Date]))),'MMM-yyyy'),year([Pay Date]) * 100 + num(month([Pay Date]))) as PayMonthYear
[Pay Date];
LOAD
date($(varMinDate) + RecNo() - 1,'DD/MM/YYYY') as [Pay Date]
AUTOGENERATE num($(varMaxDate)) - num($(varMinDate)) + 1;
DROP TABLE MinMax;
So, in the above, the field PaidInLast12MonthsFlag is equal to -1 if the value of the [Pay Date] field occurs in the last 12 months, 0 otherwise. You could use this in your set analysis expression as a filter. Furthermore, you can use PayMonthYear as your chart dimension.

crystal reports month date range for earnings

My client has a report that accepts a date range to get a report showing projected revenue. So, a user would enter a date range of '1/1/2015 to 1/31/2015' and the report should return data only in the range '1/1/2015 to 1/31/2015 grouped by week. I am instead for the week of 12/29/2014 (which 1/1/2015 fall into) and 2/1/2015 (which 1/31/2015 falls into). The report is intended to group by week, but I do not want days on the report that are earlier than the start date parameter or later than the end date parameter.
The sql statement for this report is:
SELECT job.job, job.status, job.customer_po, job.part_number, job.unit_price,
job.price_uofm, delivery.promiseddate, delivery.remaining_quantity, job.build_to_stock, job.description, job.make_quantity, job.pick_quantity, job.shipped_quantity, job.lead_days
FROM dbo.delivery as delivery RIGHT OUTER JOIN db.job as job on delivery.job = job.job
WHERE job.build_to_stock = 0 AND (job.status = 'active' OR job.status = 'hold' OR job.status = 'pending')
The date range is from this code and parameters:
Max – Maximum(?Date Range)
Min – Minimun(?Date Range)
Date Range - "From " & {#Min} & " to " & {#Max}
This is the group expression
Group 2 Name - GroupName ({#Adj Date 2}, "weekly") & " thru " & cdate(GroupName ({#Adj Date 2}, "weekly"))+6
This is the select expression
{#Date} = {?Date Range} and
not {Job.Build_To_Stock} and
{Job.Status} in ["Active", "Hold", "Pending"]
Do you know how I can prevent the "overflow" of dates outside of date range?
Thx
As long as you have date filtering in your record selection formula there will not be any "overflow" outside of that range. If you've got {Record.Date} in Minimum({?DateRange}) to Maximum({?DateRange}), which it sounds like you do, then your report will not contain any records outside of the parameter regardless of how you group them.
Your problem might stem from over-complicating or misinterpreting the grouping. All you need to do is group by {Record.Date} and select "Group by week" in the grouping options... you don't need any complicated formulas to break it out by week. But be aware that the way weeks are referred to is by their starting date. For example, if you had a record with a date of Feb. 19, 2015, that record would fall into the group labeled "Feb. 15, 2015" even if your {?DateRange} parameter was Feb. 18 - Feb. 15.
