Use TO_CHAR() function & a little thought process.

Thank you sir

how about the following :
Select to_char(rec_date, 'yyyy') || to_char(rec_date, 'IW') As year_week,
to_char(rec_date, 'yyyy') || to_char(rec_date, 'mm') As year_month,
to_char(rec_date, 'yyyy') || '0' || to_char(rec_date, 'q') As year_quarter,
to_char(rec_date, 'yyyy') As year
FROM tbltest

I think too, just because i asked a question doesnt mean i didnt try it before asking and if you dont like to answer u can always shutup instead of your comments.I asked because i have to use a calculation in discoverer plus and discoverer doesnt accept a select in its calculation.............

thnks

Never belittle anyone for asking beginner-level questions or for their English skills.

Format your post and don't use IM speak.

In addition, YOU know you use discover, how could WE know it?
There is a Discover forum, maybe it is moire appropriate to post it in this place? Oh wait, this is also in the guide.

Regards
Michel
