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}

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 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

    (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 1 (something like): moment between '01.01.2005' and '31.12.2004' - this is OK
    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.

    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);

  • 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.

    Post Author: SKodidine
    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.

  • Insert Records Based on User requirement

    Hi,
    I want to Create a set of records based on the user input defined on run time.
    According to my present query i am able to create records which is predefined in 'NoOfRows' variable . Hence when i click on this button, by default 2 rows are inserted in my page.
    My requirement is to get the 'NoOfRows' from user, hence i added an input text in my Jsf page which gets the value from user and based on that the rows will be inserted. But i coudn't pass my Rich input text value to this variable. i.e 'NoOfRows'. How is this possible to pass my input text value which is defined in my bean to the java class defined in Application Moldule?
    This is my code written in AppModuleImpl.java
    public void insertDefaultRows(){
    ViewObjectImpl Lines = this.getEmpView1();
    Lines.executeEmptyRowSet();
    int NoOfRows=2;
    oracle.jbo.server.ViewRowImpl emptyRow;
    for (int i=0; i < noOfRows;i++){
    emptyRow = (oracle.jbo.server.ViewRowImpl)Lines.createRow();
    emptyRow.setNewRowState(oracle.jbo.Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
    Lines.insertRow(emptyRow);
    This is my backing bean defined for the input text
    public void setIt11(RichInputText it11) {
    this.it11 = it11;
    public RichInputText getIt11() {
    return it11;
    Hope I'm clear. Any help?

    First of all you have to change the signature of the method in the AM to
    public void insertDefaultRows(int num){
      if (num <= 0)
        return;
      ViewObjectImpl Lines = this.getEmpView1();
      Lines.executeEmptyRowSet();
      int NoOfRows=num;
      oracle.jbo.server.ViewRowImpl emptyRow;
      for (int i=0; i < noOfRows;i++){
        emptyRow = (oracle.jbo.server.ViewRowImpl)Lines.createRow();
        emptyRow.setNewRowState(oracle.jbo.Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
       Lines.insertRow(emptyRow);
    }then you expose this method to the client interface of the AM. This makes it available in the data control.
    Next you should add a variable in the executable section of the bindings of the page.
    1) open the bindings of the page
    2) right click on the variables in the executables section and choose 'Insert Inside Variables'->'variable'
    3) in the dialog set a name e.g. noOfRows with type java.lang.Integer
    4) click the green '+' sign in the Bindings section, select AattributeValues, cklick OK
    5) select 'variables' as datasource and 'noOfRows' as attribute
    This will create a variable of type integer in the bindings of the page. This can be used to store the value of the inputText component. For this select the inputText in your page and in the property inspector add
    #{bindings.noOfRows1.inputValue}to the value property. This will transfer the input from the inputText to the variable you created.
    Now open the DataControll and drag the method onto the page and drop it as a button. You then get a dialog where you see the 'num' parameter of the method. In the value field you write the binding you used to store the value from the inputText (#{bindings.noOfRows1.inputValue}).
    Last thing to do is to set the autoSubmit property of the inputText to true.
    This will pass the value from the inputtext to the method.

    Edited by: Timo Hahn on 20.03.2013 13:48
    Oh, and you can remove the binding of the inputText to the bean as this is not needed!

  • 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

    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.

  • 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

  • Can a subreport select records based on values in the main report record?

    Post Author: calvin
    CA Forum: General
    Perhaps my understanding of a subreport is incorrect as this is the first time I've used one, but it seems to me that the subreport should be able to use the values from the main report record in its (the subreport's) operations-but my subreport doesn't seem to be working that way.In my main report, I select a set of records from a 'request' table. I have a subreport in the detail section so the subreport is processed for each of the request records. That works, but I'm simply getting the same data reported multiple times. It's as if the subreport only uses the last request record rather than the current one. Stating it this way I can see that the problem might be evaluation time-it's processing the request records first, then processing the subreport, and only then printing everything. If this is correct then putting WhilePrintingRecords on the subreport should work-but the only way I know of to do that is in a formula. Can I call the subreport from a formula? Or am I totally off-track?Thanks.

  • 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.
    Jeannette

    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.

  • Select Data based on User Permissions

    Post Author: nomore
    CA Forum: General
    I've got a Crystal Infoview server which is becoming quite cluttered with reports.In a lot of instances, I will have 4 or 5 copies of the same report which are tailored to specifc users. For example a sales report which will show data based on a specific customer. I could create on report with a parameter where the user could just select the customer - but i dont want some people to be able to see specific customers. So at present i have a seperate report for each customer - and then set the report permissions to only allow specific users to run it.I attended a course a while back where they showed us how, hiding particular fields/data to certain users if they should
    not be allowed to view it - but for the life in me i cannot remember at
    all how they did it.  Any tips greatly appreciated.

    In the special fields section is CurrentCEUserName, not sure if this would work for you, because I have CR XI
    You could surpress based on the id logged in, but that would be a lot of work, 
    Perhaps you could create a "permissions" list in excel or in the database if possible, with a list of the reports that each ID can run, then based on the id, you populate the list....
    CurrentCEUserName inserts (in a formula) the name that was used to log on to the current session when using the Log On to BusinessObjects Enterprise dialog box.

  • Selecting records based on a sub total

    I need to create a listing of sales reps and their customers who have spent over $300 in a selected date range.  I am grouping by the sales rep id and then the customer id.  However, I'm not sure how to only select a customer for each sales rep who has spent a total of $300 or more in the selected date range.  If I put in the record selection formulas the formula, AmtSpent > 299.99, then I miss getting customers who have several orders for under $300, but together they add up to over $300.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Ricky
    You will have to write a formula where you can calculate the customer who have spend over $300 and then you can place it on the group.
    By doin this you will get the data for all the customer who have spend more over $300.
    Hope this helps you.
    Please let us know if you have any further queries.

  • Selecting records based on month and year parameters

    Hi. I have a sql 2008 r2 stored procedure which needs modifying to return the data based on a start / end month and year.
    It's a large SP so I'll summarise - It accepts four parameters:
    @StartMonth NVARCHAR(10)
    @StartYear NVARCHAR(4)
    @EndMonth NVARCHAR(10)
    @EndYear NVARCHAR(4)
    The current WHERE clause is:
    WHERE ta.TimeByDay BETWEEN '01' + '-' + ltrim(LEFT(@StartMonth, 3)) + '-' + @StartYear
    AND convert(nvarchar,datediff(day, ta.TimeByDay, dateadd(month, 1, ta.TimeByDay))) + '-' + ltrim(LEFT(@EndMonth, 3)) + '-' + @EndYear
    Example of input parameters:
    @StartMonth = N'January',
    @StartYear = N'2014',
    @EndMonth = N'February',
    @EndYear = N'2014',
    Result:
    The conversion of a nvarchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
    (1 row(s) affected)
    However it executes correctly if we do either of the following:
    1) Run the SQL direct in QA and type in January and February rather than passing in the Start/End Month parameters
    2) As you can see we use the following datediff call to get the number of days per month. IF I replace this with '28', or '31' for example the query also runs (oddly number 1 above then also runs by executing the SP):
    convert(nvarchar,datediff(day, ta.TimeByDay, dateadd(month, 1, ta.TimeByDay)))
    How do I update the WHERE clause to return records between a start/end month and year?
    I'm a day on this so any help appreciated.
    Thanks
