No. Look at Action 1 again. It starts the calculations with the 1st of the month.
I was just trying to illustrate the logic behind the calculation. As Misi points out (in another post) it can be performed in a single Set Fields action Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of pritch Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2014 4:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Set Month End Date Wouldn't the calculation of 32 days cause it to possibly jump over a month? ie if the ticket is created on March 31 (or even March 30) it would calcuate a date in May. Rather than try to play with the days - could we do something like this? Set Fields actions (in Filter or Active Link) Action 1: $ztmp datetime field$ = DATEADD("mm", 1, $DATE$) Action 2: $ztmp datetime field$ = MONTH($ztmp datetime field$) + "/1/" + YEAR($ztmp datetime field) Action 3: $ztmp datetime field$ = $ztmp datetime field$ - 1 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frederick W Grooms" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, May 7, 2014 11:35:12 AM Subject: Re: Set Month End Date This is the way I have done it in the past (Note: I am using US date format so convert as needed) Set Fields actions (in Filter or Active Link) Action 1: $ztmp string field$ = MONTH($DATE$) + "/1/" + YEAR($DATE) Action 2: $ztmp datetime field$ = $ztmp string field$ Action 3: $ztmp datetime field$ = $ztmp datetime field$ + (32 * 86400) Action 4: $ztmp string field$ = MONTH($ztmp datetime field$) + "/1/" + YEAR($ztmp datetime field) Action 5: $ztmp datetime field$ = $ztmp string field$ Action 6: $ztmp datetime field$ = $ztmp datetime field$ - 1 At this point the display only datetime field has 11:59:59 PM of the last day of the month I broke the example out into individual set fields actions so you can see exactly what is happening. Here is what each action is doing: Action 1: Create a string of the first day of the current month Action 2: Put the string into a date field Action 3: Add enough days to make the temp field the next month Action 4: Create a string of the first day of the month of the temp date field Action 5: Put the string into a date field Action 6: Subtract 1 second from the temporary date field to get the last day of the previous month Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Terje Moglestue Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2014 7:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Set Month End Date ** Karthick, It is years since I have done this type of calculations. In your example I would find the first day of the next month and then just take minus one day. The outcome would the last day of the month you are in. ~ Terje -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Karthick S Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2014 8:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Set Month End Date ** I need to Set a Month End Date in a field Called Due Date. Please find the below. Example: Ticket created Date is 7/05/2014 12:00:00 AM and the Due Date should have 31/05/2014 11:59:59 PM. it should automatically calculate or populate the Month End Date in Due Date field. I have used this condition "((((($DATE$ + 43200) + (86400 * 31)) - (86400 * DAY((($DATE$ + 43200) + (31 * 86400))))) - (3600 * HOUR((($DATE$ + 43200) + (31 * 86400))))) + (DAY($DATE$) * 86400)) - 1", Which given me the Due Date as "7/06/2014 11:59:00 PM". Can any one help me on this, Please. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
