script. N must be (1), 2, (3), 4 or 6. Shift is an integer, where the value 0 indicates the period which
contains date. Negative values in shift indicate preceding periods and positive values indicate succeeding
periods. If you want to align with (fiscal) years not starting in January, indicate a value
between 2 and 12 in first_month_of_year.
monthsstart ( 4, '2001-10-19' ) returns '2001-09-01' with an underlying numeric value
corresponding to '2001-09-01 00:00:00.000'
monthsstart ( 4, '2001-10-19', -1 ) returns '2001-05-01' with an underlying numeric
value corresponding to '2001-05-01 00:00:00.000'
monthsstart ( 4, '2001-10-19', 0, 2 ) returns '2001-10-01' with an underlying
numeric value corresponding to '2001-10-01 00:00:00.000'
MonthsEnd(n, date [, shift = 0 [, first_month_of_year = 1]])
Examples:
Returns a value corresponding to a timestamp with the last millisecond of the n month period (starting
from January 1st) containing date. The default output format will be the DateFormat set in the
script. N must be (1), 2, (3), 4 or 6. Shift is an integer, where the value 0 indicates the period which
contains date. Negative values in shift indicate preceding periods and positive values indicate succeeding
periods. If you want to align with (fiscal) years not starting in January, indicate a value
between 2 and 12 in first_month_of_year.
monthsend ( 4, '2001-07-19' ) returns '2001-08-31' with an underlying numeric value corresponding
to '2001-08-31 23:59:59.999'
monthsend ( 4, '2001-10-19', -1 ) returns '2001-08-31' with an underlying numeric
value corresponding to '2001-08-31 23:59:59.999'
monthsend ( 4, '2001-10-19', 0, 2 ) returns '2002-01-31' with an underlying numeric
value corresponding to '2002-01-31 23:59:59.999'
MonthsName(n, date [, shift = 0 [, first_month_of_year = 1]])
Returns a display value showing the months of the period (formatted according to the MonthNames script
variable) and year with an underlying numeric value corresponding to a timestamp with the first millisecond
of the n month period (starting from January 1st) containing date. N must be (1), 2, (3), 4 or 6. Shift is an
integer, where the value 0 indicates the period which contains date. Negative values in shift indicate preceding
periods and positive values indicate succeeding periods. If you want to align with (fiscal) years not
starting in January, indicate a value between 2 and 12 in first_month_of_year.
Examples:
monthsname ( 4, '2001-10-19' ) returns 'Sep-Dec 2001' with an underlying numeric value
corresponding to '2001-09-01 00:00:00.000'
monthsname ( 4, '2001-10-19', -1 ) returns 'May-Aug 2001' with an underlying numeric
value corresponding to '2001-05-01 00:00:00.000'
monthsname ( 4, '2001-10-19', 0, 2 ) returns 'Oct-Jan 2002' with an underlying
numeric value corresponding to '2001-10-01 00:00:00.000'
WeekStart(date [, shift = 0 [,weekoffset = 0]])
Returns a value corresponding to a timestamp with the first millisecond of the first date ( Monday ) of
the calendar week containing date. The default output format will be the DateFormat set in the script.
Shift is an integer, where the value 0 indicates the week which contains date. Negative values in
shift indicate preceding weeks and positive values indicate succeeding weeks. If you want to work
with weeks not starting midnight between Sunday and Monday, indicate an offset in days in weekoffset.
This may be given as a real number indicating days and/or fractions of a day.
