Hi All,
I have a requirement to display bi weekly sunday's in the x-axis of the chart in Cognos 10.2.2 and data base is relational, SQL server. I have a logic of getting the alternate sunday's in sql server, not quite to sure how to implement the same in the Cognos, using Cognos functions.
dateadd(dayofyear,(8-datepart(weekday,cast(datepart(year, datecolumn) as varchar(10)) +'-01-01') % 7)
+(((datepart(dayofyear,datecolumn) - (8-datepart(weekday,cast(datepart(year,datecolumn) as varchar(10)) +'-01-01') % 7)+13) /14)*14-14)
,cast(datepart(year,datecolumn) as varchar(10)) +'-01-01')
Can some one please help me to tweak the code in Cognos, which should serve my purpose.
Thanks in advance
I don't see anything in there you should have any real difficulty replacing with Cognos functions. But if you are certain it will only ever be used with MSSQL (assuming that is your database), I think those are all supported pass-through functions.
