Using hierarchy attribute in where clause! ERROR

Hi,
I'm currently working on a report where I'm using a where clause in my MDX querry on the "ID" hierarchy, but also would like to show the ID in the report (table/matrix) in the ON COLUMNS part.
As I read it is not possible to use a slicer in an axis hierarchy, so I used a workaround by putting the lower granularity (attribute) in the where clause. This workaround works in my MDX query BUT does not work when I convert the querry for
my reporting! I get the same error again
ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY
       Filter(
             NonEmpty(
                    [Wager].[Wager number].[Wager
number],
                    [Measures].[Payment amount]
             * [Date].[Date].[Date]
             [Measures].[Payment amount] > Cdbl(@PAR_Payment_Amount)
       * [Point of sale].[POS default connection].[POS default connection]
WHERE
[Point of sale].[Regional office].&[22]
* {[Date].[Calendar - Bonus Program].[Invoice week].&[2014]&[06],[Date].[Calendar - Bonus Program].[Invoice          week].&[2014]&[07]}
       * {[Point of sale].&[10005397],[Point of sale].&[10005397]}
--> In my report MDQ query designer 
WHERE
       {StrToMember(@PAR_Regional_Office)}
       * StrToSet(@PAR_Year_Week)
       * {StrToSet(@PAR_ClientID)}
Any suggestions?

Still looking for help if possible:)

  • Use "ListContains' in a WHERE clause

    I believe I have a syntax problem and could you some help.
    First, I have a field in an Access DB called 'degree" that conatins
    a list of numbers. This list can be any combination of the numbers
    4 through 32. On my search page I have a selection box in a form to
    select a value of the degree to search for. The variable passed
    from the form is called "degreeValue". I have a component that lets
    me build my WHERE clause using several seach criteria. It functions
    perfectly prior to adding the search for "degree". I attempted to
    use "ListContains" in the WHERE clause using "degree" as the name
    of my list and "degreeValue" as my substring to search for. The
    error I get says that "variable degree is undefined". I am
    attaching the full code of the compoanent so you can see it. Again,
    it works if you take out the subclause build for "degree".

    I understand what you are saying and in other situations have
    done my tables that way. I didn't this time because this is one of
    those... "add it later" kind of things. Yes, the field does look
    like "1,2,3,4,etc.." The inventory a couple thousand items each
    with a number (catno). As you obviously noticed the inventory table
    houses most of the data for the items. The "degree" field in the
    past was only used to populate a series of checkboxes and was not
    searchable, thus a list was used.
    With a possibility of 29 values for "degree" and a
    possiblility of over 2,000 inventory items you can see a newly
    created table might become quite large. It would be nice if I could
    use the current structure.
    You are absolutely correct saying the design should be
    different. Thank you for your quick reply and good information.

  • Using CLOB datatypes in WHERE clause

    Hi All,
    I have a table with two columns as CLOB datatype. I'm using Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition. I can do a query, insert, update and even delete the data in the CLOB field using Oracle's SQL Plus.
    What I want is to do a search on those fields.. that is include that field in a WHERE clause. I'm using this datatype to store large number of data.
    I'd like to see this query working...
    SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE CLOBFLD LIKE 'Something...';
    Now this query doesn't work. It returns: 'Inconsistent datatype' near the word CLOBFLD.
    Please Help me out.
    Regards,
    Gopi
    null

    I presume you want to query based on the contents of the CLOB, right ? If that is true, then you have to create a text index, using Oracle Context and then use "Contains" in the where clause to query. Hope this helps.

    I did not understand your query but have you tried using the HAVING clause?
    HAVING clause allows you to use a "where" like condition for your groupings.
    See http://www.techonthenet.com/sql/having.php for some examples.

  • How to use alias name in where clause

    Hello,
    DECODE (item.inv_type,'OT', (DECODE (item.attribute2, 'STONE', 0, xfer.release_quantity1 * xfer.attribute10)
    'FG', (xfer.release_quantity1 * xfer.attribute10)
    ) matl_val
    In the above code matl_val is alias name i need to use that one in where clause as
    where matl_val > 0
    is this possible or anyother way can anyone help me.

    But the point is as you haven't read the documentation you may miss some valuable points about alias and will soon end with another problem.
    >
    Specify an alias for the column expression. Oracle Database will use this alias in the column heading of the result set. The AS keyword is optional. The alias effectively renames the select list item for the duration of the query. The alias can be used in the order_by_clause but not other clauses in the query.

  • How to use CASE stmt in Where clause

    Hi,
    How to use CASE stmt in WHERE clause?. I need the code. Please send me as early as possible..........

    Hi,
    1004977 wrote:
    Hi,
    How to use CASE stmt in WHERE clause?. There's no difference between how a CASE expression is used in a WHERE clause, and how it is used in any other clause. CASE ... END always returns a single scalar value, and it can be used almost anywere a single scalar expression (such as a column, a literal, a single-row function, a + operation, ...) can be used.
    CASE expressions aren't needed in WHERE clauses very much. The reason CASE expressions are so useful is that they allow you to do IF-THEN-ELSE logic anywhere in SQL. The WHERE clause already allows you to do IF-THEN-ELSE logic, usually in a more convenient way.
    I need the code.So do the peple who want t help you. Post a query where you'd like to use a CASE expression in the WHERE clause. Post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for any tables used unless they are commonly available, such as scott.emp). Also, post the results you want from that sample data, and explain how you get those resuts from that data.
    See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
    Please send me as early as possible..........As mentioned bfore, that's rude. It's also self-defeating. Nobody will refuse to help you because you don't appear pushy enough, but some people will refuse to help you if you appear too pushy.

  • Can I use SYSDATE in the WHERE clause to limit the date range of a query

    Hi,
    Basicaly the subject title(Can I use SYSDATE in the WHERE clause to limit the date range of a query) is my question.
    Is this possible and if it is how can I use it. Do I need to join the table to DUAL?
    Thanks in advance.

    As previous poster said, no data is null value, no value. If you want something, you have nvl function to replace null value by an other more significative value in your query.<br>

  • Is it possible to use LONG columns in WHERE clause or ORDER BY?

    Is it possible to use LONG columns in WHERE clause or ORDER BY?

    Hi,
    LONG data type is deprecated, maybe could you change your column type to LOB ?
    Nonetheless below is a workaround which may fit your needs if forced to use LONG.
    It uses a function which returns you a CLOB. It allows you to use the converted "LONG" column in a WHERE clause.
    Then if you want to order by you have to convert the CLOB to a VARCHAR using DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR.
    SQL> CREATE TABLE my_table (id NUMBER, description LONG);
    Table created.
    SQL> INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (1, 'FIRST LONG');

  • Using regexp_instr in a where clause - invalid relational operator

    Whey I try to run this query in TOAD I get an ORA-00920: invalid relational operator error. It's part of a 10g stored procedure. When I highlight it and run it it prompts me for the missing values and then the error pops up. The AND in line 4 is highlighted.
    select CRIME_CLASSIFICATION_ID, crime_type, nvl(count(CRIME_CLASSIFICATION_ID),0) as CRIMECNT
    From vaps.vw_offenses
        where  regexp_instr(valoc,to_char(location_id))
            AND ( fromdate is null or
             offense_date between to_date(fromdate, 'mm/dd/yyyy')  AND to_date(todate,'mm/dd/yyyy')
    group by crime_classification_id, crime_type

    Hi,
    Review what REGEXP_INSTR does: it returns a NUMBER.
    Your WHERE clause couldn't make any sense if you used any other kind of NUMBER expression in that place, e.g. a NUMBER literal such as 12:
    select CRIME_CLASSIFICATION_ID, crime_type, nvl(count(CRIME_CLASSIFICATION_ID),0) as CRIMECNT
    From vaps.vw_offenses
        where  12     -- This is obviously wrong
            AND ( fromdate is null or
             offense_date between to_date(fromdate, 'mm/dd/yyyy')  AND to_date(todate,'mm/dd/yyyy')
    group by crime_classification_id, crime_type
    It's not going to work any better with a function (like REGEXP_INSTR) that returns a NUMBER.
    How can you fix it?  That depends on what you want to do.  Why are you calling REGEXP_INSTR?  What is that condition checking?
    Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved, so that the people who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas.
    Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

  • Using :case when  in where clause

    Hello,
    I need some help with using of case statement in a where clause
    Table that contains info about employees taking some coursework:
    Class (values could be SAP, ORACLE, JAVA)
    Code (if Class is SAP then CODE is not null; if class is any other CODE is NULL)
    Start Date (date they began class not null)
    End Date (date then ended the class - could be null)
    Employee Level(numbers from one through five)
    I need a single LOV in forms that should show Employee_Level for input class,code,date.
    How to do this?
    I started off with this but get 'missing statement error'
    select distinct employee_level from e_course
       where (
       case when &class='SAP' then code ='1' and start_date > to_date('20000101','YYYYMMDD') and
                                               end_date < to_date('20000101','YYYYMMDD')
               else
                   null
       end) order by employee_level;Thanks

    Hi,
    user469956 wrote:
    But all these examples have only one condition for each case.Depending on how you count, all WHERE clauses have only one condition.
    I see an example in that thread that has 6 atomic conditions, linked by AND and OR.
    I need to check date & code. This is what is causing the error.Why do you want to use a CASE statement?
    Why can't you put all your conditions directly iinto a WHERE clause, soemthing like this:
    WHERE   (   &class='SAP'
            AND code ='1'
    OR      (   start_date  > to_date('20000101','YYYYMMDD')
            AND end_date    < to_date('20000101','YYYYMMDD')
            )I said "something like this" because I don't know what you really want to do.

  • Can you use boolean function in where clause

    Hi,
    I have a boolean function. Is it possible to use it in where clause of query.
    Eg;
    is_prime(13) returns boolean
    select 1 from dual where is_prime(13)

    What about something like this
    Create or replace function boolret(id number) return boolean as
    begin
    If id <10 then
    return true;
    elsif id>10 and id<100 then
    return false;
    else
    return null;
    end if;
    end;
    1 declare
    2 id_cat boolean;
    3 begin
    4 id_cat:= boolret(8);
    5 dbms_output.put_line(id_cat);
    6* end;
    SQL> /
    dbms_output.put_line(id_cat);
    ERROR at line 5:
    ORA-06550: line 5, column 2:
    PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'PUT_LINE'
    ORA-06550: line 5, column 2:
    PL/SQL: Statement ignored
    It seems PL/Sql doesn't have any datatype like Boolean,But it handles Boolean like datatype.

  • Using Concatenation in a where clause

    I have set variables
    :P1 := 'and c.contr_id ='||:F184_CAGE;
    :P2 := 'and d.delq_rsn_cd = ' ||:F184_REASON_CD;
    Later I want to use those in with a select statement
    select a.PIIN,
    a.CLIN_CONT_SUBLIN,
    a.clin_prg_cd,
    b.TY_FUNDS,
    b.PROC_EL,
    c.CONTR_ID,
    d.DELQ_RSN_CD
    from clin_admin a, pron_admin b, piin_admin c, delq_reasons d
    where a.PIIN = b.PIIN and a.PIIN = c.PIIN and a.PIIN = d.piin_call ||:P1||:P2;
    the where clause does not recognize the variables. I get no error...is as if they don't exist. Can someone please explain??
    Thanks
    Mark E

    Ok...Maybe I didn't explain my problem correctly. The only problem I am having is my string not being recognized.
    What I need is the string, ' and c.contr_id =' concatenated with the bind variable...result is 'and c.contr_id =' ||:F184_CAGE;
    This works:
    select a.PIIN,
    a.CLIN_CONT_SUBLIN,
    a.clin_prg_cd,
    b.TY_FUNDS,
    b.PROC_EL,
    c.CONTR_ID,
    d.DELQ_RSN_CD
    from clin_admin a, pron_admin b, piin_admin c, delq_reasons d
    where a.PIIN = b.PIIN and a.PIIN = c.PIIN and a.PIIN = d.piin_call and c.contr_id = 1234;
    this does not work:
    select a.PIIN,
    a.CLIN_CONT_SUBLIN,
    a.clin_prg_cd,
    b.TY_FUNDS,
    b.PROC_EL,
    c.CONTR_ID,
    d.DELQ_RSN_CD
    from clin_admin a, pron_admin b, piin_admin c, delq_reasons d
    where a.PIIN = b.PIIN and a.PIIN = c.PIIN and a.PIIN = d.piin_call ||'and c.contr_id =' ||'1234';
    Make sense??
    Thanks for the help.
