Return a value based on multiple criteria

Dear Support Community,
I am trying to formulate a function so that I am able to return a cell value based on more than one criteria.
Referring to the attached screen shot, "Local Start Time" refers to the time that a person will start a work shift, and depending on the "sectors" the person's duration of time at work will vary.
For example, if a person starts work between 07:00am and 07:59am AND the particular shift involves 2 sectors, the allowed time at work is 12H15M. However, given the exact start time, if the shift only involves ONE "sector' the allowed time at work becomes 13H00M etc.
I am trying to formulate a function whereby I can tell the spreadsheet the local start time AND sectors, and then have the appropriate time returned.
I hope the above makes sense!
Thanks

Hi ST,
Print your table and pin it up as a "Ready Reckoner" for humans to refer to.
Convert your table into a Database, something like this:

(You may want to check that I have converted correctly)
Columns A and B have a Custom Format that allows them to be numbers (not Text) with leading zeroes.
Hide Separator to get rid of the comma
Show zeroes for Unused Digits to show leading zeroes.
Then you can enter "Army Time" (24 hour clock with leading zeroes) into a Query table

Return array value based on selection criteria

I have one data field that holds text data similar to below:
"Meeting Room 1 (Projector), Meeting Room 2 (Whiteboard), Meeting Room 3 (Video Conferencing)"
"Meeting Room 3 (LCD Display), Meeting Room 1 (Video Conferencing), Meeting Room 2 (Whiteboard)"
The meeting rooms are not always in the same order, I cant count on Meeting Room 1 being followed by Meeting Room 2 etc.
My objective is to only return the meeting room that has the Whiteboard.
I'm aware that I can use SPLIT to seperate the Meeting Rooms by the comma and place their components into an array.
What I'm not sure how to do is return the meeting room with the Whiteboard when that could be [1] in the Array or [2] or [3] in the array.
I need to return the array value based on its contents. Could someone help me 'search' the array created by the SPLIT command and always return that value with the word 'Whiteboard'

This works
whileprintingrecords;
global stringvar x:='';
global numbervar n:=1;
While n <= Ubound(split('......, Meeting Room X (Whiteboard),..............', ",")) Do
if split('..........., Meeting Room X (Whiteboard), ............', ",")[n] like '*Whiteboard*'
then x:=split('.............., Meeting Room X (Whiteboard), ..............', ",")[n];
n := n + 1;
x;
Just replace my string with your field.

Totals Based on Multiple Criteria in Repeating Rows

Hi All,
I have 3 dropdowns (DD1, DD2, DD3) and one textfield (TF1) in repeating rows (not in a table). Each dropdown has two choices and the textfield is free-form. Outside of the rows (in a different subform) I want totals based on multiple criteria from the dropdowns and textfields.
The following script works great to get a total number of one choice from one dropdown.
this.rawValue = xfa.resolveNodes('form1.Form.row[*].DD1.[$.rawValue == "2"]').length;
Problem is how do I calculate the totals for the following based on the criteria listed in each row.
Find the totals for ML
Number of New Forms 1-2 Pages: (result should be 2)
Number of New Forms 3+ Pages: (result should be 1)
Number of Revised Form: (result should be 0)
In row #1: select “New” as a choice from DD1, “Form” as choice from DD2, “ML” as a choice from DD3 and enter “5” in TF1.
In row #2: select “New” as a choice from DD1, “Form” as choice from DD2 , “ML” as a choice from DD3 and enter “1” in TF1.
In row #3: select “New” as a choice from DD1, “Form” as choice from DD2, “ML” as a choice from DD3 and enter “2” in TF1.
In row #4: select “Revised” as a choice from DD1, “Series” as choice from DD2, “ML” as a choice from DD3 and enter “1” in TF1.
In row #5: select “New” as a choice from DD1, “Form” as choice from DD2, “PM” as a choice from DD3 and enter “1” in TF1.

Try something like;
var mlNewForms1or2Pages = 0;
var mlNewFormsOver3Pages = 0;
var mlRevisedForms = 0;
var rows = xfa.resolveNodes('form1.Form.row[*]');
for (var i = 0, limit = rows.length; i < limit; i++)
var currentRow = rows.item(i);
if (currentRow.DD1.rawValue == "1") // new
if (currentRow.DD2.rawValue == "1") // form
   if (currentRow.DD3.rawValue == "1") // ML
    if (parseInt(currentRow.TF1.rawValue, 10) > 2)
     mlNewFormsOver3Pages++;
    else
     mlNewForms1or2Pages++;
else // revised
if (currentRow.DD2.rawValue == "1") // form
   if (currentRow.DD3.rawValue == "1") // ML
    mlRevisedForms++
console.println(mlNewForms1or2Pages);
console.println(mlNewFormsOver3Pages);
console.println(mlRevisedForms);
To do the same using predicates you could do;
var mlNewForms1or2Pages = 0;
var mlNewFormsOver3Pages = 0;
var mlRevisedForms = 0;
mlNewForms1or2Pages = xfa.resolveNodes('form1.Form.row.[DD1 == 1 and DD2 == 1 and DD3 == 1 and TF1 <= 2]').length;
mlNewFormsOver3Pages = xfa.resolveNodes('form1.Form.row.[DD1 == 1 and DD2 == 1 and DD3 == 1 and TF1 > 2]').length;
mlRevisedForms = xfa.resolveNodes('form1.Form.row.[DD1 == 2 and DD2 == 1 and DD3 == 1]').length;
But if you wanted totals for all the permutations then this could become slow.

Person DFF Context Value based on 2 criteria (Business Group and Emp Type)?

Hello,
We're implementing HR module into multiple business groups.
I need to define context value for DFF "Additional Personal Details" based on 2 criteria Business Group ID and Employee Type
Any idea how to do it?
Thank you
Elie

Hello Elie,
I am not sure on it,However have you tried creating a context with combination of Business Group and Person Type using merging,
business_group_id || "_"|| person_type_id And structures would be something like 80_2112 Business Group id = 80 and Person Type id=2112.
It may resolve your issue if this works out.

Returning Different Results Based on Input Criteria

I have a complex nested select statement. Based on selection criteria I want to return different results. Say for instance I had an input parameter Called Products which could contain a Yes/No Flag. If the Flag was Yes then I would want the "top" select, statement to be The following:
Select Product, Time_ID, Amt
From
My Complex Nested Select
But if Product was set to "No", I would want the following:
Select Time_ID, Amt
From
My Complex Nested Select
I know, or course that I can have two COMPLETE set of SQL which are invoked based upon testing the value of the PRODUCT Parameter, but If I duplicate the "inner nested select" then I have 2 sets of select staments to maintain. Is there an alternative to this? Could I make the inner portion which does not change a function of some sort so that my code would look something like this?
Select Product, Time_ID, Amt
From
Execute myNestedSelectFunction
But if Product was set to "No", I would want the following:
Select Time_ID, Amt
From
Execute myNestedSelectFunction
This would atleast ensure that I only have to go one place to maintain the logic of the "static Nested Select" statement.
Just want to make sure I do not have a real viable alternative to "duplicating code"
Thanks

Hi,
Look in TFM for PIPELINED functions which will allow you to:SELECT Product, Time_ID, Amt FROM TABLE(myPipelinedFunctionReturningSelectResult()) T;
SELECT Time_ID, Amt FROM TABLE(myPipelinedFunctionReturningSelectResult()) T;There are samples if you look on AskTom too.

Returning 'Day' value based on month and year parameters

Hi,
Is there a code that would return an end of the month Day value based on month and year parameters?
For example if my parameters yield 9 or September for a month value and 08 or 2008 for the year value, can a formula generate a value of 30 (the last day of the given month in the specific year)?
This way the formula would pick up the different last day of the month in February for the leap years.
Thank you.
Vic

1. Open the formula workshop.
2. From the Repository Custom Functions, under Crystal and then Date, RIGHT click on cdlastdayofmonth, click on ADD TO REPORT.
3. Create a new formula, in the formula workshop, under FUNCTIONS, go down the list till you see "CUSTOM FUNCTIONS", expand that till you see cdlastdayofmonth.
4. In your formula, type cdlastdayofmonth(currentdate)
5. Save and close and display the formula in your report, you should see 11/30/2008.
If you want just the day then modify the formula to:
totext(day(cdlastdayofmonth(currentdate)),0,'','');
since you have parameters for month and year, do this:
totext(day(cdlastdayofmonth(date({?year},{?month},01))),0,'','');
to give you the last day of the month.

Return 2 values (string, number) multiple rows, from java stored function

I would like to return 2 values (String, number prefered but String, String will work) from a java stored function.
I was able to successfully return a varray of varchar2 values but I was wondering if it is possible to return 2 values by using a varray?
Is it even possible? I tried using combinations of types which included a varray of objects (with 2 attributes) or a type as table of objects but I couldn't figure out how in my java code to set these values. Also what would my java function return type be and what Oracle type would map to it?
Any help and examples or pointers would be great.
Thanks,
Dennis

Thanks to all. I finally figured it out through all the pieces on the web.
Here is what worked for me. First create 2 oracle types. One object type to represent the "columns" I will pass back:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE COST_OBJ AS OBJECT (COST_NAME NVARCHAR2(50), COST_VALUE number ) NOT FINAL
note: make sure the "strings" are defined as NVARCHAR2 or Java will puke if it is just VARCHAR2.
Then create a table type to hold your objects defined as following:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE COST_OBJ_TABLE is table OF COST_OBJ
Then create the oracle stored function that is a wrapper to the java function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_Costs(Name VARCHAR2, evalDate VARCHAR2, fuelCodeID NUMBER) return COST_OBJ_TABLE
is language java name
'com.costs.storedProcedures.Cost.getCosts(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, int) return oracle.sql.ARRAY'
Once that is done, Oracle is ready. The Java function looks something like this:
public ARRAY getCosts(String name, String evalDate, int fuelCodeID) {
DBAccess da = getDBAccess();
// get a handle on the connection
Connection conn = da.getConnection();
// The stuff that will be returned should be as type object array
// make it to the size of the number of fuelcomponents passed in
Object[] returnStuff = new Object[3];
// create the type of struct that is defined on the database
StructDescriptor structDesc =
StructDescriptor.createDescriptor("CY_UMAP.COST_OBJ", conn);
for (int i = 0; i < returnStuff .size(); i++) {
Object[] costValues = new Object[]{
     "This is object " + i,
     new Integer ( i ) };
STRUCT cost_obj = new STRUCT(structDesc, conn, costValues);
returnStuff[i] = cost_obj;
ArrayDescriptor x_ad = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor (
"CY_UMAP.COST_OBJ_TABLE", conn);
ARRAY x_array = new ARRAY(x_ad, conn, returnStuff);
return x_array;
I hope this helps others.

Returning a value based on user-supplied sql variables

I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.1, ADF and JSP.
I want to return a primary key based on values a user enters in unbound fields (like inputText). They'll be entering information for a record including a 10-segment GL code, and when the other bound values are committed, I'd like the associated GL id to be returned for the row (if found). Validation is not necessary at this point. A null return is okay.
I've defined bind variables in a GL view object - one for each of the 10 segments - plus a jspx form with 10 inputText objects.
Does it sound like this is going in a logical direction? I'm stuck at this point, and am open to suggestions.

1. Open the formula workshop.
2. From the Repository Custom Functions, under Crystal and then Date, RIGHT click on cdlastdayofmonth, click on ADD TO REPORT.
3. Create a new formula, in the formula workshop, under FUNCTIONS, go down the list till you see "CUSTOM FUNCTIONS", expand that till you see cdlastdayofmonth.
4. In your formula, type cdlastdayofmonth(currentdate)
5. Save and close and display the formula in your report, you should see 11/30/2008.
If you want just the day then modify the formula to:
totext(day(cdlastdayofmonth(currentdate)),0,'','');
since you have parameters for month and year, do this:
totext(day(cdlastdayofmonth(date({?year},{?month},01))),0,'','');
to give you the last day of the month.

How to count unique values based on specific criteria

Hello,
I need to count the number of unique values in column A but only if the text in column I is a specific word - how do I do this?

Let's say the values are in A1:A10 and they are numeric, and the text is in I1:I10.
As an array formula, confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter:
=SUM(IF(I1:I10="word",1/COUNTIFS(A1:A10,A1:A10,I1:I10,"word")))
where "word" is the specific word you're looking for.

Return a value based on dropdown list

I am a newbie in making PDF form and had recently started working with Live cyle to create a fillable form and managed to create a usable one patterned with the sample Purchase Order Form (by trial and error) which came along with the installation. Can somebody please help me with this form. I have a dropdown list on the ITEMS column and want it to automatically display the unit price of the item selected from the drop down list. By the way I managed to make the table flowable.

Value based Creditmemo

Hi,
Good afternoon.
In SBO how we can raise a Credit memo/Return (only Value based) to a Customer with out referring item,A/R Invoice or Delivery.
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
Two ways of doing this:
1. on the credit memo screen you can change the Item/Service Type field to be Service and raise it as a service credit note.
2. If you have a stock item that is just Sales or Purchase (NOT Stock) then you can add this into a Credit Memo and change the description of the item and then press Cntrl and TAB to move out of the field. You must press Cntrl and TAB other wise SAP will try to search on the description you enter.
The credit memo will be value based and will not refer to the item or invoice.
Regards,
Adrian

Update col value based on another tbl - update, case stmt, subquery

I need to
1) add a column col1 to existing table tbl1;
2) the value of col1 will be updated from the column col2 value from table tbl2;
3) if the tbl2 returns many records or no records, the col1 value will be defaulted to 0; otherwise it will be the unique value from the col2 of tbl2
I am stuck.
Thanks.

For example:
UPDATE tbl1     t1
SET     col1     = (
            SELECT CASE

            FROM       tbl2
            WHERE       common_column_1     = t1.common_column_1
            AND       common_column_2     = t1.common_column_2
;Since the sub-query is using an aggregate function (COUNT), the value returned must also be an aggregate (like MIN) or a constant (like 0). In cases where there is only 1 row, we could use MAX, AVG or SUM instead of MIN to get the value of that one row.

Select MULTIPLE default values for a multiple selection list box based on another field in Infopath 2010

Hello there - Before I explain my issue, I would like to point out that I have reviewed some other discussions on selecting default values for multiple selection listbox. But my issue is specific and different, and not answered by any of the discussions
I visited.
I have a multiple selection list box (say for example all countries in the world as values), and I would like to pre-select or setup multiple default values (say five countries) based on some criteria that I query from MS SQL database table.
I know we can go to Data | Default Values option to setup one or many default values for multiple selection list box. When I enter the default values manually this works. I also right click the field under the Multiple-Selection List Box group, then select
Add another Value Below and set the Default Value for this field to setup multiple default values.
However, if I reference a field (either an infopath field or a field from SQL database) I am not able to setup multiple default values. Infopath automatically selects the last field I selected for all instances and in the end I am able to see only one
default value selected instead of many. How to fix this problem? Why would infopath allow multiple default values when we enter it manually but not when we reference some fields?
Please let me know if you need more info. Appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Hi redhotc,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set multiple default values for a multiple checkbox list in InfoPath form.
I did a test with SQL database table. I set three default values for the checkbox list by adding three values field under the group field(Data->Default values), each value field is for a default value. Then publish it to my SharePoint site, everything
was fine.Please have a try as the below link:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2010/pre-select-items-multiple-selection-list-box-infopath-2010.htm
Note: if you are using SQL databse table, you may need to enable ‘Allow cross-domain data access for user form templates that use connection settings in a data connection file’ in CA. More information, please refer to:

I hope this helps.
