Calculated column

I am one week new to xml.
I want to create a formula column, which is a result of two fields in the xml. The two fields are Total Amount, and Total Paid.
My calculated field is Total Amount - Total Paid.
The answer must be pretty simple, somehow I don;t get the desired output.
I tried doing the following:-
1) In add/Help Text of Total Amount , I have this : <?D_INV_ALL_AMOUNT?> <?add-page-total:ITotal;'D_INV_ALL_AMOUNT'?> <?show-page-total:ITotal?>
2) In Add/Help Text of Amount Paid , I have this : <?AMOUNT_PAID?><?add-page-total:APaid;'AMOUNT_PAID'?> <?show-page-total:APaid?>
3) In Add/Help Text of Amount Due, which is the calculated field, I have this : <?add-page-total:due;’D_INV_ALL_AMOUNT - AMOUNT_PAID’?> <?show-page-total:due>?
But there is no value for Amount Due field when I preview the rtf.
Is this not the correct way to get a calculated field?

Tim,
I am using the 5.5 version of the Template Builder.
Alternatively, I am trying using another example posted on the site,
that of defining a template , and using xslt functions of 'set_variable' and 'get_variable'.And then calling the template at the area of the document where I want to print the Amount Due value. Works somewhat, but at the moment it is still a work in progress.

Problem with binding value on the UI from a calculated column in the view

I have calculated field "Readiness" in my db view, which gets calculated based on other columns in the same table. I have added new column to my EO using "Add from table" option and added the same column from to VO using "Add from EO" option. In my application, I will update a particular date field in the UI and this calculated column "Readiness" in the db will be set to yes or no and this logic is working fine, both date date field and calculated field are in same view object. I have added a attribute binding to this "Readiness" column in my view page. The problem is the calculated column value does not reflect the new value in the db, it shows the old value. I have tried different refresh option for the iterator and ppr option for the field binding. Even after reloading the page, the value shown on the UI page is different from the value in db, other bindings on the UI page works fine, not sure any special settings are required for the Calculated columns. any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks for your help,
Surya

I tried to add soms debugging statements in the EO and getters method, the calcaulated column is not picking the value in db view. I'm not any special iterator/field settings are required at BC level. I'm a newbie, any help is appreciated.

Getting an error while using if statement in calculated column.can anyone please help me with this issue

I am trying to learn HANA on my own.i have product id,product name,delivery date and Grossamount in my calculated view.i am trying to create calculated column where i need Grossamount in two columns based on delivery date.I have 2012 and 2013 as values for my delivery date.so i have created two column as grossamount_2012 and grossamount_2013.if i have delivery date as 4thdec,2012 i want the grossamount value to be in coloumn grossamount_2012 and the grossamount_2013 should be blank.i have written an expression like this
if("Deliverydate" <= longdate(2012-12-04),"Grossamount","0")
and it looks like this is wrong.i am getting the text Grossamount rather than values for that field in my output.so can anyone help me please?

Hi chandra
i am trying to get the same result by using sql script and CE functions.i have written the following code

       GROUP BY A."PRODUCTID",E."TEXT",C."COUNTRY",D."DELIVERYDATE";
this is working fine but i want to split the grossamount based on current year and last year.Any idea how to do this
In calculation view using script can we use if and case statements?

Calculated Column using IF statement with DATEIF formula

I have a dated column that includes a date when a position is vacated otherwise the field is blank if the position is still filled. I want a calculated column to return the number of days the position has been vancant from the date that is listed to today.
So the following was entered & works.....
=DATEDIF([Vacancy Date],Today,"d")
The delima is that it is also returning a value when there is no date in the dated column but it returns a funky number 42,069. What I want it to return when the dated column is blank is blank or zero would work too. I don't know how to incorporate that
into this formula.

You are correct it no longer reads that column as Today.... So is there anyway to make this a calculated column for my purposes?
I'm going to use SharePoint list for a Position Pool & managing positions within a large department. What I'm attempting to do with this column is have a current count of the number of days since a position has been vacant. Our system that I pull the
position data from will give me the vacancy date for those positions & where the position is filled the date field will be blank. So I'm wanting this column to return a 0 when the position is listed as filled & the number of days vacant based on the
vacancy date column I have. Is there any way to make this work in SharePoint? Obviously I can make that work in Excel however my task was to load raw data into SharePoint & have SharePoint do the work if possible with little to no human intervention prior
to loading to SharePoint.
Thank you,

DAX - IF statement and filters within calculated column

Hi all,
I've got a bit of a complex formula I'm trying to run, but I'm not quite there yet. I don't know where/how/if I can place a filter within my IF statement for a calculated column due to so many variables. I either get errors or wrong numbers.
Hope the following makes sense.
Here is my formula for the calculated column [Years Since Last Task]:
=IF (ISBLANK([Last Task Date]) && ([Current Role]<>BLANK()), DIVIDE([Quarters],4), FLOOR(1. * ( today() - [Last Task Date]) / 365, 0.25))
Problem: I am getting "114.25" for Ken....but I want a blank result instead. Meaning, I need to also filter out any name (row) who has a blank [Current Role]. How do
I add a filter to this current formula? Is one more step of filtering possible in this IF statement? (Maybe I shouldn't use an IF statement, and try CALCULATE instead?)
Below is the table 'Work' for you to see what's happening.
Name

Last Task Date
Current Role
Years Since Last Task

you can use nested IF-statements here:
=IF (ISBLANK([Current Role]),
BLANK(),
IF(ISBLANK([Last Task Date]),
DIVIDE([Quarters],4),
FLOOR(1. * ( today() - [Last Task Date]) / 365,0.25)

Creating a Status column (IF statement/calculated column)

I'm developing list for managing a project with 11 columns each representing a project milestone.
We'll call them A,B,C...K.
"A" representing a status of "Project Started" and K representing "Project Complete" with various statuses in between.
When a milestone has been reached, the date is input into the appropriate column. So when the project is complete, there will be dates in all columns A-K
I wish to incorporate a new column that indicates the current status depending on if columns A-K have been filled in.
So if all columns are blank, a status of "Awaiting start" is indicated.
If column A is filled in with a date, a status of "A" is indicated.
If columns A and column B are filled in then a status of "B" is indicated.
If columns A, B and C are filled in then a status of "C" is indicated. * * If all the columns are filled in with dates, a status of "K" is indicated.
Any ideas? Some form of If statement in a calculated Status column?

Hello,
You can use nested if statement something like below.
For example, I have one column named as 'Score' and the requirement is to perform quartile breakup based on score so for that I can use below calculated formula in my calculated column.
=IF(INT(Score)>85,"85 Above"
,IF(AND(85>=INT(Score),INT(Score)>=80),"85-80"
,IF(AND(79>=INT(Score),INT(Score)>=75),"79-75"
,IF(INT(Score)<75,"Below 75","0"))))

If statement for calculated column

Hi, I need to know if its possible to do the following in a calculated column
if column1 value => 1
display the name of column1 + the value of column 1
is this possible?

Hi hein,
You can return your calculated column value as "Number" type, set the "blank space" in your formula, see the formula as follow,
=IF([A4 Printing Paper Box]>0,"[A4 Printing Paper Box]"&[A4 Printing Paper Box]," ")

Need help with a calculated column - is there any way to reference a value in the current row?

Hey guys,
I'm a bit of a DAX newbie, and I'm running into a block. I'm creating a Power View report about IT tickets. We are going to be creating a cube to automate the data soon, I'm currently working with a flat Excel Data Table of data to demonstrate the Power
View reporting capabilities to the team. I need the default display to show the top 4-5 items basked on the Ticket Count. The three applicable columns I'm using are the TicketID, the ContactReason, and the AssetCategory - all three are
text. One slide will show the top five Contact Reasons by Ticket Count, and the other will show the top five Categories by Ticket Count. The users will see this default view, but will be able to change it to see differently ranked items or can clear the
ranking slicer altogether.
What I've accomplished so far is to create the Calculated Field [Ticket Count] = COUNTA(Table1[TicketID])
And 2 other calculated fields:
[Contact Rank] = RANKX(ALL(Table1[ContactReason]),[Ticket Count],,,DENSE)
[Asset Rank] = RANKX(ALL(Table1[AssetCategory]),[Ticket Count],,,DENSE)
If I were creating a Pivot Table, this would be great. These fields calculate everything the right way. The problem is, I need to have a Rank slicer on each slide and the calculation by itself contains no data - with no data, there's nothing to slice. I
realized I need to actually have columns of data so I can create a slicer. I need each row of the table to show the same [Contact Rank] for every instance of a particular ContactReason (and the same for the [Asset Rank] and AssetCategory).
The RANKX formulas pasted into the Calculated Column section only show a value of 1 - with no Pivot table summarizing the fields, it's counting each row's ticket once, giving every line the tied Rank of #1.
I've solved the problem in Excel by creating 2 Pivot Tables on a separate sheet that have the data field and the calculated field for ContactRason and AssetCategory. Then on my Excel Data Table, I've added two columns that do a VLOOKUP and pull over a the
Calculated Rank from each Pivot Table that match the ContactReason and AssetCategory fields. This works on the flat Excel Data Table now, but will not be a solutions when we start pulling the data from the cube (and there is no flat table).
What I think I need is an Expression for the RANKX formula that can give me, for each row, the count of all of the times a ContactReason shows up in an entire column. There's only about 100,000 lines of data and each ContactReason or AssetCategory
may show up several thousand times. But if I can get the expression to return that count, then the RANKX formula should work in the Column. If it wasn't a DAX formula, I'd use a COUNTIF and say 'Count the entire ContactReason column anytime it's equal to the
ContactReason on THIS row', but in DAX I don't know how to reference a single value in a row. I've tried the CALCULATE() formula, but it seems like the filter needs a specific value, and doesn't work on a dynamic "cell" value.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I hope it all makes sense!)

If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
=
RANKX(
ALL(Table1),
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(table1),
ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
DENSE
If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?

Michael Amadi

Two separate calculated columns - results show up only in one of them

Hey,
I've recently run into some peculiar behaviour in OBIEE (Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.7.0). I'm using three attribute colums (deliv. on time, ordered, backlog) to calculate a monthly service level. In addition I'm using a customer ID number to separate our customers into export and national customers. I've three calculated columns - Service Level Export, Service Level Total and Service Level National. I'm using a simple case-statement to distinguish between international and national customers (When custID between xxx and yyy then...). The total service level column doesn't have a case-if calculation, only a couple of simple mathematical operations and it works fine.
Now the problem is that the results show up only in one of those calculated columns containing case-if calculations - not both at the same time. Using a prompt in a pivot table I can verify that both columns get proper values but when I remove the prompt half of the values randomly disappear from these columns so that only one of the columns has a value for a specific month. The calculations in all three columns are identical - the only difference is that Serv. L. Exp. exludes a spesific CustID whereas the Serv. L. Nat. only includes that one CustID.
Example - both Serv. L. Exp and Serv. L. Nat should have values for every month, now only one of them gets values
Month          Serv. L. Exp.               Serv. L. Nat.               Total Serv. L.
01                         15 %                                                       15 %
02                         17 %                                                       17 %
03                         13 %                                                       13 %
04                                                          20 %                      20 %
05                                                          22 %                      22 %
I've a few months of OBIEE experience under my belt so I'm not that experienced but usually I've been able to figure out what's wrong on my own. This time, however, this leaves me dumbfounded. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Silver

Hi,
Serv.L.Nat is calculated 100 * INVOICED / (ORDERED + DELAYED). For National Service Level the case statement (including the calculations) is as follows (the inner CASE limits the Serv.L.Nat per cust to a range of 0 - 100 %):
CASE WHEN "fact"."CustID" = 100001 THEN (
     CASE WHEN Serv.L.Nat > 100 THEN 100
     WHEN Serv.L.Nat < 0 THEN 0
     WHEN Serv.L.Nat IS NULL THEN 0
     ELSE Serv.L.Nat
     END)
END
For Export the sql is exactly like the one above, barring the reversed condition.
Regards,
Silver
PS. The above is a burst of pseudoSQL so don't mind the typos, the actual code is tested to work as intended... barring the fact that something's wrong with getting the values to appear.

Calculated Column with Null date end result needs to be text.

Good Morning,
I am using SharePoint 2010 and am trying to create a calculated column converting a date/time column to to show just a month and day. Calculation is
=TEXT([Anniversary],"m/d")
This is to enable sorting on the month. And this works fine except when there is no date entered in the "Anniversary" column.
I have tried to modify the formula in this column to no avail. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/0c9d5ae1-132a-4e02-8a91-c54708919d9a/show-calculated-date-column-as-null-when-there-is-no-date?forum=sharepointgenerallegacy
I do not have access to modifying the code so have to work strictly OOB. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would think you could add an IF statement to verify if the text is null. So...
=IF(ISNULL(TEXT(Anniversary, "m/d")), What we do when null, TEXT(Anniversary,"m/d"))

Calculated column - non-rolling rowsum where columns are not null

I have a calculated "Year total" column that sums 12 month columns. In our business $0.00 is not the same as null, so i have some columns without numeric data. My calculated column is only working when there is numeric data in all 12 months and i need it to work for rows where some columns are null.
Is there an easy way around this?

Figured out how to do this using the IFNULL function.

How to calculate the total of a calculated column in a list view at the end of the view?

I have a view with the following columns ProductName, Quantity, Price, Total The total column is a calculated column which is the product of quantity and price. I want to place the sum of the total column by the end of the list view. I can do this with
the price and quantity but not with the total column. how do I do this?

You can use SharePoint Designer and calculate the total in xslt view. Refer to the following post for more information

How to write the expression when create the calculated column?

Dear,
I want to create some calculated column in my attribute view, but I don't know how to write the code in the expression, is there any introduction about this part, how to use those function and how about the grammar in this expression code ? or is there any example about this calculated column?
Thanks for your sincerely answer.

Hi Zongjie,
you can find some information about the creation of calculated columns in the HANA Modeling Guide (http://help.sap.com/hana/SAP_HANA_Modeling_Guide_for_SAP_HANA_Studio_en.pdf).
Within chapter 6.2.1 (Create Analytic Views) you can see under point 7 some basics and also a simple example. The same is also valid for Calculation Views.
Chapter 8.9 (Using Functions in Expressions) describes the different available functions.
You also can use the integrated search in the HANA Studio by clicking the "?" button in the button left corner. Then you get some links in the side panel with related information.
In general you can write your expression manually or you can just drag and drop the functions, elements, operators into the editor window. For example if you drag and drop the "if" function into the editor window you get "if(intarg,arg2,arg3)" inserted. The arguments can be replaced manually or also by drag and drop.
It is also worse to use the "Validate Syntax" button on top of the editor window. It gives you directly a feedback if your expression syntax is correct. If not you get some helpful information about the problem (ok, sometimes it is a little bit confusing because of the cryptic error message format ).
Best Regards,
Florian

Get the month from a date column with the calculated column

I am trying to get the month from a date field with the help of calculated column. However I get this syntax error whenever I want to submit the formula:
Error
The formula contains a syntax error or is not supported.
the default language of our site is German and [datum, von] is a date field.

Hi,
I have created two columns
Current MM-YY
Calculated (calculation based on other columns)
Today

But the output shows as December instead of May.
I have tried =TEXT([Datum, von];"mmmm") but no help.
I am trying to populated the column automatically with current month..ex: if its May the field should show May, next month it should show June an so on.
Any kind help is grateful.

Can you have a calculated column in a table not a view?

We have a table which contains a series of rows
Key   Effective Date   Value
1       10/Feb/2006     123
1       23/Oct/2006      456
...We have a requirement to store an indicator that tells us which row is the most current and what the end date of the preceding row was so that we get something along the lines of:
Key   Effective Date   Value   Status         End Date
1       10/Feb/2006     123      HISTORY    22/Oct/2006
1       23/Oct/2006      456     CURRENT   NULL
...I can produce this result quite easily using the analytic function LEAD. My question is, is the answer to this problem to create a view over the table that includes the analytic function or is it possible to define a calculated column in a table that would populate/maintain this vale as part of a table definition?
And as I finish writing this I feel I've answered my own question but hey, there's no harm in asking how others have handled this kind of situation.
Cheers
Richard

My bias would be to create a view that did the calculation.
In theory, you could add those additional columns to a table and maintain the data via a set of triggers, but that would be substantially more complicated than the alternatives for little or no benefit.
A third option would be a materialized view. That might be easier to deal with if you want to have different indexing strategies for current and historical records or if the historical data is queried often enough and updated infrequently enough that it ends up being cheaper to do the calculation once during the update rather than every time the query is run.
A fourth option would be to use stored procedures to maintain the data and have that stored procedure expire the current row and add the new row.
Finally, you might consider version-enabling your table using Workspace Manager rather than writing your own code since Oracle has already written all this code for you.
