I try to get the Second Last Item Receipt Date using this following formula in my Saved Search, but it is returning an Invalid Expression
CASE WHEN {trandate} < MAX({trandate}) THEN {trandate} ELSE NULL END
Any advice how to get the Second Last Date in Netsuite using formula ?

I am trying to convert a date value ingested from SFMC as a string. Attempts and results below:
PARSE_DATE('%m/%d/%Y', '6/22/2017’) returns “invalid date”
2.safe.PARSE_DATE('%m-%d-%Y',Timesent) returns null results
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I wondered if it was because the day of month had no leading zero, because according to the docs, %d means the day of the month as a decimal number (01-31).
But your first example worked OK for me in a BigQuery SQL workspace anyway as per below. Your second example has hyphens rather than slashes in the format mask, and BigQuery returns a mismatch error for me.
Are you certain about the date value which is failing for you?
I have a two tables in first table i filled the values with name id,
on second table if i gave the id the table needs to fill the name automatically, how can i do this please help.
You commented that the error is in the following line:
axsl.TransDate = DateTimeUtil::utcNow();
This is logic because axsl.TransDate is Date and DateTimeUtil::utcNow() return a UtcDateTime when you compile get this error Operand types are not compatible with the operator.
There are many ways to fix this error.
Try this:
axsl.TransDate = DateTimeUtil::date(DateTimeUtil::utcNow())
DateTimeUtil::date() convert UtcDateTime in Date.
or you can use today() method to return the actual date.
In Cognos 10.2.1 (FP7), I have a situation with two tables (see below), where a given transaction may be in the same "PERIOD", but what I want to do is to only give me results for transactions that have a date after the 15th of the month (i.e - the transaction may be in PERIOD 201510, and I only want transactons on/after 10/15/2015). The PERIOD is an input parameter that the user selects - I want to build the date from a portion of the PERIOD. (Before anyone complains about syntax, etc. - I've tried to simplify this as much as possible).
Given Table A:
ID varchar
PERIOD varchar
Given Table B:
ID varchar
TYPE varchar
TRANDATE timestamp2
Query1
[A.PERIOD]=?PARM1? <- this is the user selected input parameter
Query2
[B.TYPE] in ('A','B')
Then create a join from the results of Query1 and Query2 on the A.ID=B.ID to give Results1
I've tried the following (I'm keeping this as simple as I can - so I'm ONLY working with the YEAR portion of the period):
[Results1].[TRANDATE] >= concat(substring([Results1].[PERIOD],1,4),'-10-15T00:00:00.000000000')
[Results1].[TRANDATE] >= cast(concat(substring([Results1].[PERIOD],1,4),'-10-15T00:00:00.000000000'), timestamp2)
In both cases - Cognos won't validate the expression, or, if it does validate, I get a runtime error when running the report. In both cases, I get messages basically "literal does not match format string", even with the cast.
So - how can I get pieces/portions of the parameter, and slice/dice them to use as a date comparison as I mentioned above?
Given: Column [PERIOD] of type integer in the form YYYYMM, [TRANDATE] of type date/time
[TRANDATE] >= cast(cast(cast([PERIOD]/100,integer),varchar(4)) || '-' || cast(mod([PERIOD],100),varchar(2)) || '-15',date)
Given: Column [PERIOD] of type string in the form 'YYYYMM', [TRANDATE] of type date/time
[TRANDATE] >= cast(substring([PERIOD],1,4) || '-' || substring([PERIOD],5,2) || '-15',date)
The trick is that you don't have to build a full date/time string. You only have to build a string of format 'YYYY-MM-DD' in order to cast to a date type.
I have created a report from the following query
SELECT TasksEntries.Project, TasksEntries.Task, Sum(TimeTracker.WorkHours) AS
TotalHours
FROM TasksEntries INNER JOIN TimeTracker
ON (TasksEntries.EmployeeId = TimeTracker.EmployeeId) AND (TasksEntries.TaskID
= TimeTracker.TaskId)
GROUP BY TasksEntries.Project, TasksEntries.Task;
The start and end dates are captured from a form and passed like shown below. WorkDate is a column in the TimeTracker table and is not present in any other table.
strWhere = "WorkDate BETWEEN #" & txtMgrRptStartDate & "# AND #" &
txtMgrRptEndDate & "#"
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptTotalProjectHours", acViewPreview,
"qryTotalProjectHours", strWhere, acWindowNormal
When the report is invoked, I get a box where it says
"Enter parameter value" for Workdate.. I am unsure why I get that.
The query runs fine when I run it separately with the start and end dates hard coded in there. The problem seems to occur only when it is passed through the docmd.openreport. Can someone help me get to the bottom of this? When passing the WorkDate thru the OpenReport, is it mandatory that the column name be present in the SELECT statement?
Appreciate your help in advance.
I solved it by including the date criteria in the WHERE clause of the SELECT statement and specifying the form text box names of start and end dates.
The other thing that I did was to eliminate the query name from the Docmd.openreport since the report was created from the named query.
I have a datetime field that may be blank. when it is not blank I want to show only the date portion. I used:
=FormatDateTime(Fields!myDate.Value, DateFormat.ShortDate)
This works except for blank entries which are replaced by "1/1/0001".
I used a switch statement but it returns an error when the condition is met. The switch statement is:
=switch(Fields!myDate.Value<>"", FormatDateTime(Fields!myDate.Value, DateFormat.ShortDate))
This works for the blanks but yields an error for datetime entries.
The workaround is to change the stored procedure to return only the date for the datetime field. I would prefer to have the time value in case it is needed in the future.
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong or if there is a report builder solution that works.
=IIF(Fields!myDate.Value Is Nothing, "", Format(Fields!myDate.Value,
"dd/MM/yyyy"))
