Assignment of lookup values

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to use lookup values for assignment expressions.
For eg:
There are 3 Plants X,Y,Z & also 5 vendors A,B,C,D,E.
Plant & Vendors are lookup flat tables.
Now i want an expression such that if i choose vendor A or B then automatically plant field should be filled by X.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Minaz,
As u said assignments can be done on Main Table as well as lookup table
But what if I am running an assignment on main table and I want to update a lookup table field value.
The assignment on main table never gives lookup table fields,
it will only give main table fields.
Please elaborate on ur statement that assignments work on both main table as well as lookup table.
I guess assigments work individually on the specified table.
Please help I need to run assignment on main table and update a lookup table field.
Please tell me if dis is possible.
Regards Tejas..........

Assignment on Multi-Valued Lookup field

Hi experts,
Is it possible to assign value to a multi-valued lookup field using assignment.
For example, "Products" is the main table. In the products table I have a multi-valued attribute "PLANT". Product table contains a field "PLANT" of type look-up multivalued to the Plants table.
So, is it possible to assign Plant attribute values to PLANT Look-up multivalued field in the main table using assignment??
Is not, then is there any other work around solution to acheive this requirement?
Best Regards,
Shiv

hi,
So, is it possible to assign Plant attribute values to PLANT Look-up multivalued field in the main table using assignment??
No this is not possible, to get the values of the plant attributes you again have to lookup at the plant master data and fetch the values from there in the routine.

Arvind.

Lookup value in assignment

Hello All,
We are using lookup field value in assignment.
field1 is lookup field and Lookup table has only one field Name
Name
a
   b
   c
Field2 is lookup field and Lookup table(Cross Ref) has 2 fields Name1 Name2
Name1          Name2 (Display field)
a                      1
b                     2
   c                    3
What we are trying to do is
if field1 has value a than Field 2 needs to have value 1
i am running an assignment
in Expression window i am putting "field1.(Record)
and in table field i am putting Field2. so that depending on field1 value Field2 will be assigned values based on cross ref manitained.
Is this the right way to do it ? is there any other way around?
(we want field2 value to be poppulated dynamically based on field1 value. We have cross ref table that is referenced to Field2 as lookup table where we maintain field1 lookup value and corresponding Name2 value of Field2)
If this is the right design than i am facing one more problem ...
In Field2 lookup i have following entries
Name1                Name2
a                          1
b                         2
c                          3
d                          4
   e                         5
f                           6
g                          7
h                          8
i                           9
Now except h and i values i am getting value assigned dynamically if Field2 has values from a to g .but when it comes to h and i i am getting assignment error as Assignment failed.????
Instead of this can we have middleware like XI to take care of this cross Ref? as based on Field2 we are syndicating records to target system via middleware?

Hi,
The following are steps to be followed in the data manager to make Assignment to work.
1) Create Assignment
2) By Default Main table gets assigned .
3) Select table where you want to change.
4) Go to Assignment Editor
5) Go to Looks ups and select the Lookup value what you want to assign...
Hope this will help .

Assigning a Numeric Value in a Cell Based on Text in Another Cell

In advance, thanks for your assistance. I'm trying, in vain, to assign a numeric value in a cell based on text (from a dropdown menu) in another cell. For example, in cell A5 I have a dropdown list that includes the options "blue", "red", "white", and "gold." I want cell C15 to be 2 if A5="blue"; I want C15 to be 0 if A5="red"; I want C15 to be 2 if A5="white"; and, I want C15 to be 1 if A5="gold."

Tippet,
This is a job for LOOKUP.
The expression for the Result cell is: =LOOKUP(A2, Lookup :: A1:A4, Lookup :: B1:B4)
The aux. table contains the matches that you assign for the colors.

Assigning a numerical value to the answers of a multiple choice text field

I have searched and searched thru a million articles but there does not seem to be a simple way to do this, and I hope like heck that I am just overthinking it. I tend to fall back on years of coding and completely miss a simple answer when doing this
kind of thing so I hope someone can help.
I'm developing a scorecard. I have a list that has a form on it that asks a series of questions on it. Some are yes/no.
I want to assign the numerical value of "1" to "yes", and "0" to "No".
This is so that when I create the actual scorecard, I can add up all the answers and generate a calculated score.
Example:
Was this incident properly classified?
[Dropdown]
Yes
No
Do I need an extra column assigning the values? Can I assign the values within the column itself? Any assistance will be really helpful.

there are several options:
- calculated column with something along the lines of =IF([dropdowncolumn] = "YES", 1, 0)
- separate lookup list with values
- if you're using infopath, your column could be numeric, and just use a DropDown as the visualization, and populate the DDL with key/values of "Yes"/1 and "No"/0 (though in this case, when viewing the list as a native grid, the column
would only show 1/0, not "yes / no"
- depending on how you're creating the scorecard, use a yes/no (boolean) column and just convert during the calculation
lots of options come to mind.

Group by Clause displaying all lookup values

Hello Friends
I've a simple table with columns namely Date, Reason, Product and Count and the sample data is displayed below.
==========================
Date Reason Product Count
==========================
06/08/2012 Reason1 Home 1
07/08/2012 Reason2 Motor 1
08/08/2012 Reason1 Home 1
09/08/2012 Reason3 Home 2
10/08/2012 Reason1 Home 1
06/08/2012 Reason5 Home 1
===========================
In total I've 5 reason lookup values from Reason1 through to Reason5, but the above table consists of few of them.
I would like to diplay result per day and take an example of 6th August, I want to display below result, i.e. display all 5 reason looksup and assign zero count if there are no records for that day.
=====================================
DATE REASON HOME_COUNT MOTOR_COUNT
=====================================
06/08/2012 Reason1 1 0
06/08/2012 Reason2 0 1
06/08/2012 Reason3 0 0
06/08/2012 Reason4 0 0
06/08/2012 Reason5 1 0
=====================================
If we write group by clause, missing reasons like Reason3 and Reason4 will not be displayed in the result set.
And I've tried to write multiple UNION ALL queries to get the above result which works fine, but if there 100 lookup values, I do not want to write 100 Union queries.
Please let me know if you have any analytical functions to display the end results?
Thanks
Murali.

If you followed relational design, you have reason lookup table. If you do not have it you should create one. Also, date is reserved word and count is a keyword, so do not use them as column names. Then use outer join:
SQL> create table tbl as
2 select to_date('06/08/2012','dd/mm/yyyy') dt,'Reason1' reason,'Home' product,1 qty from dual union all
3 select to_date('07/08/2012','dd/mm/yyyy'),'Reason2','Motor',1 from dual union all
4 select to_date('08/08/2012','dd/mm/yyyy'),'Reason1','Home',1 from dual union all
5 select to_date('09/08/2012','dd/mm/yyyy'),'Reason3','Home',2 from dual union all
6 select to_date('10/08/2012','dd/mm/yyyy'),'Reason1','Home',1 from dual union all

Unable to filter LookupSet values based on another Lookup value

Hey all, I've got a report item where I'm pulling a list of values using a lookupset. The lookupset is working as expected, however I need to filter those results based on a different value which belongs to the same dataset as the lookup value. I'm trying
to filter on the tablix but nothing I try is working to filter. I just end up with no data when I know I should be getting one value. I tried filtering using a lookup and lookupset expression but that doesn't seem to be what is needed. This is my first time
really diving into lookups so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan
(using report builder 3.0)

Do you only want the values where type = "Writing Assignment 1". If that is the case then modify your LookupSet as follows:
=Join(Lookupset(Fields!identifier.Value+"Writing
Assignment 1",Fields!Student.Value+Fields!value.Value,
Fields!value.Value, "Comments"), vbCrLf)
This will require that identifier matches student and type matches "Writing Assignment 1".

Assigning a default value to a field

Hello Everyone,
       Could you please tell me how to assign a default value to a field in a transparent table, so that while creating an entry even if we don't enter the value, a default value will be assigned.
Thanks,
Anbu.

Like this
DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
        field1 TYPE c VALUE 'X'
        field2 TYPE c,
      END OF itab.
append itab.
append itab.
You will have by default X set in both rows for field1.
Regards
Marcin
PS: Ooops I just noticed you meant transparent table but I wrote about internal one. As long as you maintain that table using maintenance view you can use event 05 - When Creating a New Entry and set fixed value for a field there. So whenever you create new entry it will receive that value.

How to get lookup value for a lookup_type and pass as a parameter in OAF

Hi,
I have requirement wherein I have to enable the "Add Attachment" Button only for a particular deliverable name.
Steps I followed
1) I have extended the corresponding Controller class.
2) Sting str1="XYZ";
3) Getting the attachment table bean and the deliverable name thru Data Mappings as Attachment is the built-in funtionality in OAF.
4)Checking if the deliverable name whether it is equal to str1 or not
Case1: If the deliverable name is not equal to str1 then I am placing the insertallowed as BOOLEAN.FALSE
Case2:If not it will be enabled.
5)The functionality as per the requirement is working fine.
6)Here for str1 I have hardcoded the value initially but I need to take up the value from a lookup created for this value because may be in future if for more than one value the "Add Attachment" Button has to enabled they it will be easy to add in the look up only. No need to change the controller class.
7) So please let me know the steps in getting the value from a lookup and have to pass the lookup values (Here str1--"XYZ","ABC","DEF") into the extended Controller Class.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Ramya

How to send timer job email to "assigned to" field value in a task list if due date is after two days from now?

Create a SharePoint Designer Workflow and use "pause until date" option when an new item is created/update.

How to Assign a Constant Value to a Dim. Member when pulling Master Data?

BPC Gurus:
I am trying load Vendor and Customer Master data into BPC dimension. My Dimesnion has memebrs: ID, EVDESCRIPTION, PARENTH1, TYPE. I have successfully pulled the ID and the description from 0CUSTOMER and 0VENDOR. However, I
need to have a ttext value for 'PARENTH1' and 'TYPE'. For Customers, I want to add a FIXED value "'CUSTOMER' for every
Customer ID pulled in and also for "TYPE", I want a value of "CUSTOMER". When I maintainthe Dimension, I want to see
th followingvalues:
ID                          EVDESCRIPTION                                   PARENTH1                         TYPE

How can assign a Fixed value to the member Propert? Can I achieve it in Conversion file....?
( My atempts failed...).
Any suggestion recommendation would be gretaly appreciated.
Munna.

Hi,
For adding fixed values to the properties, you can use the transformation file. In the mapping section, you can specify a constant value. This value will be written to properties of all the members while importing master data. However, for parenth, its a bit different. First thing is that, you need to have a member called CUSTOMER, then only you can have CUSTOMER in the parenth column. Even if you add it and use the mapping section for this purpose, then it will write CUSTOMER to parenth for all the members (even to CUSTOMER member). And this will be wrong. So, you will need to write it manually.
Hope you got the idea.

Can't assign a string value to a member of type TEXT in Calculation Manager

I can assign a string value to that member of type TEXT using a run-time prompt of type StringToNumber.
Example: "My Text Member" = {string_rtp};
However, I need to accompllish the same function without using a run-time prompts.
I have a planning application and I know that text along with all other non-numeric
values are stored on the relational side in the planning application schema.
It seems reasonable to assume that if this can can accomplish
with a run-time prompt that I could do also do it without a run-time prompt.
What appears to be lacking is a function like:
"My Text Member" = @StringToNumber(<String Literal>);
Clearly, this is already being done "under the covers" for run-time prompts. If
would appear to be a minor enhancement to expose such a function to developers.
NOTE: I suppose you would also need to add new syntax/function to identify a string
literal from say a member name. I'm wondering if this is the more difficult challenge
from a product perspective????

When executing a Calculation Manager rule in Planning, the run-time prompt (RTP) is populated by looking up the outline information present in the relational Planning application database. If the RTP is of type TEXT, the strings displayed in the member select are from the from the relational Planning application database too. Subsequently when executing the Rule, the RTP's value is in fact the record ID (a number) which is then saved into the appropriate intersection in Essbase.
You need to bear in mind, the Rule is executed in Essbase. If Essbase needs to "write" a text, it would then need to connect to the Planning relational database to create a new record. The newly created record ID then needs to be feed back to Essbase, in order to store it in the appropriate intersection.
What you are suggesting, comes with a big overhead causing Essbase and the rule to slow. Thus, the disadvantages outweighs the advantages.

How to assign a default value to a column ?

Hi
In the Object browser is it possible to modifiy a column in order to assign a defalut value to the column ?
I have a table FICHE in which I want to assign a default value 0 to a column which type is NUMBER.
Thank you for your kind answers.
Christian.

Hi Christian
For one reason or the other you can't do that using 'Create Column' or 'Modify Column'. You can only do that by issuing a SQL command : alter table fiche modify column( <column name> default 0)
