Selecting records based on different fields

Post Author: timg
CA Forum: General
I have three groups which I study quite often, the blues (as identified in field 1with codes), the reds (identified in field 2 with codes), and the greens (identified in field 3 with certain codes).
I want to be able to run one report which, through a parameter field, I can select the group (red, green, or blue) for which I can select records from the database and analyze. Stated another way, if I select "Blue" in the parameter field, how can I get CR to pull certain records in the correct field with the correct codes.

dunno what your codes are but something like this will work if you put it in the section expertif ?para = "BLUE" then field1 in [a, b, c] elseif ?para = "RED" then field2 in [d, e, f] elseif ?para = "GREEN" then field3 in [g, h, i]

  • Select records based on 1 field have either of 2 values

    Good afternoon,
    II have 2 tables, Account and Order, it's a one to many where 1 account can have many orders. I'm trying to pull the records where the account has orders that have a status of Completed or Quoted. I know I'm not explaining well so hopefully the example below will help.
    Account A has 3 orders, all of them are completed.
    Account B has 5 orders, 2 of them are completed, and 3 of them are quoted.
    Account C has 2 orders, all of them are quoted.
    I only want Account B to show up in my report. That is, I only want accounts that have both completed and quoted orders
    I've tried various record selections but because the status field on a single order can only have one value I'm not sure how to get the results that I need.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    hi Jeanette,
    for this you may either have to write a report with a Command based object with a subselect and a WHERE IN clause.
    there's an easier way using a Group Selection formula though...the disadvantage of this method is that this doesn't filter those records out at the database which could be a problem if you're dealing with 100's of thousands of records. if that's the case, then use the method mentioned at the top.
    For a Group Selection method try the following:
    1) create a Group on the Accountfield
    2) create a formula called Completed that reads something like
    if = 'Completed' then 1
    3) create another formula called 'Quoted' that reads something like
    if = 'Quoted' then 1
    4) put these fields on the report and put a Summary on them at the Account Group level
    5) go into the Group Selection Formula and find your group level summaries and create a formula similar to
    Sum(AccountGroup, @Completed) > 0 and Sum(AccountGroup,@Quoted) > 1
    This will bring back only Accounts with both completed and quoted records.

  • Selecting records based on formula fields

    Post Author: Mike Kennedy
    CA Forum: Formula
    I have created a field (called "Shortage") that is the result of subtracting two running totals and have inserted all three fields into the group footer.  I only want to select those records that have a negative value as a result, but the field is not shown in the Select Expert.  None of my formula fields show up in the Select Expert for some reason (normally they do).  Does anyone know why and how can I select these records only?  Thanks.

    CA Forum: Formula
    Running Totals are only available once the records are being read and processed.  You are calculating the difference between two Running Totals and then want to use that to select records?  I don't think that is possible.  One way of accomplishing the display of groups which have a negative value is to use sum functions instead of the running totals and then in group selection criteria, display only those groups which have a negative value as a result of subtracting the two sums.

  • Select records based on formula field

    I have a formula field that I am trying to sort data by. I want to eliminate records that come up with a 0 in this formula field. I tried select expert, but it doesn't recognize the field.

    Hi Steve,
    You cannot sort on a formula field that uses printime functions or executes in the 'whileprintingrecords' phase - example would be running totals or formulae based on shared variables from the subreport.
    What you can however do is, suppress records where the formula returns zero.
    To do this, go to the Section Expert > Select the section you wish to suppress > Click the formula button beside 'Suppress' and use this code"
    {@Formula_name} = 0

    when i group by a,b i am expecting the record 1 6 3It looks to me like "1 6 1" is the correct answer. You're asking for the lowest value of e, and 1 is lower than 3.
    Maybe you don't want MIN (e). Explain why you want 3 (that is, how you decided that 3 is the correct value for the last column) and someone will help you code it.

    Whenever you have a problem, you should psot CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your sample data. That way, the people who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas. It often helps to clarify the problem, too. since this is your first message, I'll do it for you:
    CREATE TABLE     table_x
    (       a     NUMBER
    ,     b     NUMBER
    ,     c     NUMBER
    ,     d     NUMBER
    ,     e     NUMBER
    INSERT INTO table_x (a, b, c, d, e) VALUES (1, 1, 1, 2, 1);
    INSERT INTO table_x (a, b, c, d, e) VALUES (1, 1, 1, 6, 4);
    INSERT INTO table_x (a, b, c, d, e) VALUES (1, 1, 1, 6, 3);

  • Select records based on monthly anniversary date

    Hi,
    I have a table with a date_added field and I want to select records based on the monthly anniversary date of this field.
    eg. ID, Date_added
    1, 10-DEC-2012
    2, 11-NOV-2012
    3, 10-MAR-2012
    4, 28-FEB-2012
    5, 30-DEC-2012
    So For the 10th of Jan 2013, I would want to return records 1 and 3 only
    I started looking at the extract function, but this soon falls down for records at the end of the month. For example, on the 28th Feb, I would also want to include records where the date_added day is the 29th, 30th or 31st. So, in the table above I would want to return records 4 and 5, but extract would only return 4.
    Is there a simple function to do this month anniversary query - am I missing something very obvious? Or, do I need to write a query to explicitly cope with dates at the end of the month? So far I haven't found a sensible simple solution!
    I'm using 11g

    How to select records based on the:

    - with values for 6AM only, and if not available, with values closest to 6AM - CONDITION 2
    (if the time gap in MOMENT field is too big, lets say > 5h then choose the average between the value before 6AM (ex. 4:15AM) and the value after the 6AM (ex. 9:45AM))

    CONDITION 2: I do not know how to formulate, especially if 6AM value is not availabe, and I have to find the closest available value, or get the avergae from the two adjacent values.
    Maybe cursor magic??? Thanks a lot for your help.

  • Selecting records based on user formula

    Post Author: Josh@RTA
    CA Forum: Formula
    I'm writing reports for a company that stores all of their dates as 8 digit numerical fields rather than a date or datetime datatype. I want to convert this field to a date type, then compare it to a parameter that stores user input as a date type.
    However, due to the way that Crystal does it's passes over the data, I can't use a selection formula based off of another formula. So I'm wondering , has anyone ever used a selection formula that references another formula and how have you been able to do it? Maybe use group selection instead of record selection? Just not sure.
    I'm including the formula I'm using to convert the date, as well as the selection formula so you get an Idea of what I'm doing.
    //This converts the numeric 'date' field to a dateshared stringvar DateString := totext({wotrans.ROP_TRAN_DATE}, 0, '');shared datevar ConvertedDate :=If {wotrans.ROP_TRAN_DATE} < 19590101 then Date (1959, 01, 01) else Date ( Val (DateString &#91;1 to 4&#93;),            Val (DateString &#91;5 to 6&#93;),            Val (DateString &#91;7 to 8&#93;) );
    //This is the select statement I'm using to compare the above formula to my parameter using record selection{@ConvertedTransDate} = {?TransDateRange}

    Post Author: SKodidine
    CA Forum: Formula
    Replace your formula with this and then equate it to your parameter value in your selection criteria and see if it will work.
    If {wotrans.ROP_TRAN_DATE} <= 19590101 then Date (1959, 01, 01)
    else
    date(
    tonumber(totext({wotrans.ROP_TRAN_DATE},0,'','')&#91;1 to 4&#93;),
    tonumber(totext({wotrans.ROP_TRAN_DATE},0,'','')&#91;5 to 6&#93;),
    tonumber(totext({wotrans.ROP_TRAN_DATE},0,'','')&#91;7 to 8&#93;));
    The process might be faster if you convert or change the data type of your parameter to numeric and then compare to the numeric date.

  • Select records based on criteria and update those records once read

    hi,
    I am very new to bpel and DB adapters.
    I have a requirement where in I need to query two tables to fetch some records and update these selected records with a new value for field to indicate that bpel has processed these records.
    Once I select these I needs the output to be mapped to the output variable.
    I am able to select the records based on criteria , but how will i lock these records so that these records do not get processed again. This should be a very simple usecase just that I am not aware.
    Thanks,
    Robin

    Once you have finished reading the records fire an update query , update some field in the table so that it does not get picked up next time.
    if you are using polling for picking up the records, then use logical delete scenario, refer....http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15523_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_db.htm#BABEEBIH

  • Select records based on first n distinct values of column

    I need to write a query in plsql to select records for first 3 distinct values of a single column (below example, ID )and all the rows for next 3 distinct values of the column and so on till the end of count of distinct values of a column.
    eg:
    ID name age
    1 abc 10
    1 def 20
    2 ghi 10
    2 jkl 20
    2 mno 60

    query 3 should result -->
    7 lmn 10
    9 .. ..
    so on..
    How to write a query for this inside a loop.

    Hi,
    So, one group will consist of the lowest id value, the 2nd lowest and the 3rd lowest, reggardless of how many rows are involved. The next group will consist of the 4th lowest id, the 5th lowest and the 6th lowest. To do that, you need to assign numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... to the rows in order by id, with all rows having the same id getting the same number, and without skipping any numbers.
    That sounds like a job for the analytic DENSE_RANK function:
    WITH     got_grp_id     AS
         SELECT     id, name, age
         ,     CEIL ( DENSE_RANK () OVER (ORDER BY id)
                   / 3
                   )          AS grp_id
         FROM     table_x
    SELECT     id, name, age
    FROM     got_grp_id
    WHERE     id     = 1     -- or whatever number you want
    ;If you'd care to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your sample data, then I could test it.

  • Selecting Records based on multiple values in one field

    Excuse the basic request.
    I want to select all records from one table depending on the value in 2 specific fields. Each of these fields has a single value in it.
    What I have written is as below
    1.select nm_idno "EZAID", nm_fname, nm_lname, nm_et_tt "Position", nm_mt_mt "Status", nm_type, nm_wemal, nm_mailshot from MNME
    2.where nm_type = 'M' and where nm_mailshot = 'Y' and nm_wemal > ' '
    3.and where nm_mt_mt = (1 or 6 or 3 or 10) *** these are the bits that I don't understand why they will not work.
    4. and where nm_et_tt = (408 or 329 or 283)
    Basically every record should have one of the values I have highlighted in it.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    select nm_idno "EZAID"
          ,nm_fname
          ,nm_lname
          ,nm_et_tt "Position"
          ,nm_mt_mt "Status"
          ,nm_type
          ,nm_wemal
          ,nm_mailshot
    from   MNME
    where  nm_type = 'M'
    and    nm_mailshot = 'Y'
    and    nm_wemal > ' ' --< not sure what you mean here
    and    nm_mt_mt IN (1, 6, 3, 10)
    and    nm_et_tt IN (408, 329, 283)
    ;

  • Selecting records based on value of field

    I have a table test with 10,000 records in it and 50 columns.

    For table with small number of colums i did this
    SELECT * FROM tbl_website_dtl WHERE created_by like '%Sales%'
    or website_name like '%Sales%' or website_code like '%sales%';But should i do for table containing 50 columns.

    Hi,
    Use this procedure,
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE "GLOBALPKG" AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS
    TYPE RCT1 IS REF CURSOR;
    END GLOBALPKG;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PL_SEARCH(IN_TABLE_NAME IN VARCHAR2,IN_SEARCH_STRING IN VARCHAR2,RC1 OUT GLOBALPKG.RCT1)
    IS
    V_MESSAGE VARCHAR2(255);
    V_STMT VARCHAR2(2000):='SELECT * FROM '||IN_TABLE_NAME||' WHERE ';
    BEGIN
    FOR R1 IN (SELECT * FROM user_tab_cols WHERE TABLE_NAME=IN_TABLE_NAME AND CHARACTER_SET_NAME='CHAR_CS')
    LOOP
    V_STMT:=V_STMT||' '||R1.COLUMN_NAME||' like ''%'||IN_SEARCH_STRING||'%'' AND ';
    END LOOP;
    V_STMT:=V_STMT||' 1=1';
    OPEN RC1 FOR V_STMT;
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    V_MESSAGE:=SUBSTR(SQLERRM,1,255);
    OPEN RC1 FOR SELECT V_MESSAGE FROM DUAL;
    END;
