Calculating a difference between two columns in a crosstab report

I have a crosstab report showing # of sales by salesperson in each of 2 years and within each of 2 categories of salesperson (old vs new). I want to create a column showing the difference between sales in 2009 and 2010 within new salespersons and then a column showing the difference between 2009 and 2010 within old salespersons. I can't figure out how to pinpoint in the variable editor the column containing 2009 sales by new agents. Any advice?

You can hard-code the formulas like this:
=Sum([Sales]) Where ([Year] = 2009)
=Sum([Sales]) Where ([Year] = 2010)
Then the variance becomes:
=Sum([Sales]) Where ([Year] = 2010) - Sum([Sales]) Where ([Year] = 2009)
The challenge with this is the years are not dynamic, but I figure I will throw this out first and see if it gets you what you want to start with.

How to get the difference between two columns in a column group

Hi All,
My first time here and really new to programming. I would like to get the difference between 2 columns that are inside
a column group.
Here is my sample table below: The Column Group is PeriodNumber and can only choose 2. like 1 and 2.. I would like to have a third row which will simply calculate the difference between the amounts in PeriodNumber 1 and 2.
PeriodNumber
Account 1 2
1) Cash 10,000 15,000
2) Receivables 12,000 11,500
3) Equipment 5,000 5,500
Total Assets 27,000 32,000

Hi yabgestopa,
From your description, you want to get the difference between two columns in a column group. After testing it in my environment, we can use custom code to achieve your requirement. For more details, you can refer to the following steps:
Copy the custom code below and paste it to your report. (Right-click report>Report Properties>Code)
Dim Shared Num1 As Integer
Dim shared Num2 As Integer
Public Function GetAmount(Amount as Integer, Type as String)
If Type = "1" Then
Num1=Amount
Else
Num2=Amount
End If
Return Amount
End Function
Public Function GetDif()
Return Num1-Num2
End function
Right-click the second column to insert a third column with Outside Group-Right.
Then use the expressions below in the matrix.
=Code.GetAmount(Fields!Amount.Value,Fields!PeriodNumber.Value)
=code.GetAmount(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value),Fields!PeriodNumber.Value)
=Code.GetDif()
The report looks like below.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to find differences between two columns

Hello I need the formula to spot differences between two columns and to write on a third one if the same name appear on the two columns.
For example:
rome berlin true
berlin moscow false
chicago toronto true
toronto chicago true
florence
Thanks
Lorenzo

You should be able to use COUNTIF where the range is th first column and the condition is the word in the second column. If the result is greater than zero then the word is in both columns.

Results row calculation between two column result in BEx Report.

I want to use weighted average method between two keyfigure.
for example consider the following secnario.
CH        Kf1       Kf2
A         10        5
B          6        4
C          3        2
Result     19     b]4.21</b>
how 4.21 is ((105)+(64)+(3*2))/total of Kf1(ie 19)
( A value(Kf1Kf2)+ B value (Kf1Kf2) + C Value (Kf1*Kf2))/total value (Kf1) = 4.21
is it possible to achieve the above result for Kf2.

Hello,
I cannot able to use Excel Macro functionality since it is a drill down report and report cells varies based upon the selection parameter.
and also i can't able to use Calculation, since this report contains lot of columns and if i use the formula, one more result column i have to include in all key figures and also business users not able to understand the report....
Is it possible to create a variable structure, for example user is executing for 10 days , the structure should display for only 10 days ans also i create structure for 31 days (ie one month)..

Difference between two dates, using Variables in reporting

how to calculate the days difference between Delivery date and Billing date in reporting, using variables (SAP BW 3.5v)?

Hi,
If you want to do the arethmatioc operations with the date then you will have to declare the date as key figure in the cube and add it there and then update it with the date from R/3.
You can use formula variable for this subtraction.
Create a formula in the bex analyzer and then in the down you will get option for the formula varibale.Just make a replacement path varibale on this time characteristic for which yuou want subtraction.
During creation use "key" in the display and "number" as the data type.
If number is not working them you can use "date" type.
Nothing alse needs to be done during the variable creation.
Once you have made the formula inlcude it in the columns of the report.
Thanks

Difference between two dates in seconds/milliseconds with Expressions

Hi,
I need to write a query using Expression(Builder) which calculates the difference between two columns (date/timestamps). As of other requirements I am not able to use JPQL, so I tried to create the query with the Expression framework. The difference between the two dates can be calculated with the
ExpressionMath.substract(...)
method. The result is a Date-like object storing the difference between both dates. But how can I cast this difference to a long or something like this with expressions?
Thanks,
Thomas

Date functions are very database dependent, as each database has its own set of functions for processing dates.
The functions are defined in the Expression class, you can try,
truncateDate, roundDate, or datePart

Show differences between identical columns of two different tables

Hi,
I am trying to build an ADF UIX page that takes data from 2 tables. Both of these tables will have matching columns. The requirement is, I need to compare each of the columns within these tables and highlight the differences between the columns. For example, if table 1 has a column x with value 10 and table 2 has a column x with value 20, at runtime, I need to provide a text field for table 2's x column so that the user can change the value to match table 1 or enter a different value.
I need to do this using ADF UIX. Could anyone please help me in achieving this?
Thanks,

hi
thw solution which you have given that is giving the
cartesian product of all the rows of the all the 3
tables.
1st table-7 rows
2nd table-7 rows
3rd table-7 rows
total rows in result table- 343 rows.
So its not working well..
thanks for ur response.What part of
You might also want a WHERE clause if the tables have more than one row in.did you have a problem with? You provided no information on which any of us could have written a join condition. I assumed you either had only the one row you showed us, or you were planning on coding the join yourself.

you could try something similar to this, for each table pair that you want to compare:
SELECT 'TABLE_A has these columns that are not in TABLE_B', DIFF.*
FROM (
        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns
         WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_A'
         MINUS
        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns
         WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_B'
      ) DIFF
UNION
SELECT 'TABLE_B has these columns that are not in TABLE_A', DIFF.*
FROM (
        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns
         WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_B'
         MINUS
        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns
         WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_A'
      ) DIFF;that's assuming, column_name, data_type and data_length are all you want to compare on.

Better estimation of phase difference between two signals with variable frequency!

Hello LabView Gurus,
Being a power engineer and having just a little knowledge of signal processing and labview, I have been pulling my hair out for the last couple of days to get a better estimation of phase difference between two signals.
We have two analog voltage signals; 1. sine wave (50Hz ± 1Hz) and 2. a square wave with exactly half of sine wave frequency at any time.
At the starting point of operation (and simulation/acquisition) both signals will have no phase difference. However, the square wave's frequency changes unpredictably for a just a few millisecond but then it gets synchronized with sine wave's frequency again. This means that the square wave will be phased out from its original position. The task of the labview is to find the phase difference between the two signals continuously.
My approach to determine the phase difference is to measure the time when sine wave crosses zero amplitude and the time when the very next square wave changes amplitude from zero volts to +ve voltage (I have a 0.5volts threshold just to avoid any dramas from small line noise). The difference between these times is then divided by the time period and multiplied by 360 to get this phase difference in angles.
As this part is just a small block of a big project, I can only allow 5000Hz sampling rate each for both signals. I read 500 samples (which means I read data from 5 cycles of sine wave and 2.5 cycles of square wave).
Now the problem is, as long as the frequency of sine wave stays constant at exactly 50Hz, I get a good estimation of the phase difference but when the frequency changes even a little (and it will happen in the real scenario i.e 50Hz ± 1Hz and the square wave's frequency is dependent of sine wave's frequency), the estimation error increases.
I have attached my labview program. From front panel, you can set the phase of square wave (between -180 and 0) and you should see the labview's calculated phase in the indicator box named 'Phase'. Then you can press 'Real Frequency' switch that would cause the frequency to change like it would in real operation.
You can observe that the estimation error increases after you push the button.
All I need to do is to reduce this estimation error and make it as close to the actual phase difference as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using LabView 2009 for this task.
The application is for electric machines and the stability/performance of machines under different faults.
Thank you for reading this far!
Regards,
Awais

Basic math gives me a bit of pause on this approach. You are sampling at 50 times the frequency of interest so you get 50 samples per cycle. your phase resolution is 1/50th cycle or 7.2 degrees +/- noise. You will need to samlpe faster to reduce phase resolution or average multiple readings (at a time cost that is signifigant)
Jeff- (Hardly Working)
I am sampling at 100 times the sine wave's frequency and 200 times the square wave's frequency. Increasing the sampling rate completely solves my problem. But since I am acquiring several other inputs, I cannot afford a sampling rate higher than 5kHz.
F. Schubert wrote:
I'm not a signal processing expert, but here my basic understanding.
If you simulate sampling with 5kHz and a frequency of 50 Hz (and both are 'sync' by design), you always get an exact 5 periods. Any variation of your signals frequency gives you a propability to get 4 or 6 'trigger' events. That's an up or down of 20%!
The one measure to reduce such problems is using 'window functions'. They don't fit your current approach (counting instead of a DSP algorithm), so this needs to be reworked as well.
My approach would be to use the concept of a Locki-In amplifier. You need to phaseshift your ref-signal by 90°. Then multiply your measurement signal with the ref signal and the phase shifted ref signal. The obtained values for x/y coordinates of a complex number. Calculate the theta of the complex number (with the LV prim). Feed this in a low pass filter.
The trick on this is, that the square wave has harmonics in it, in this you are interested in the second harmonic which is the sine wave.
To get rid of the effect that the sync between sampling rate and ref signal frequency gives an error, you then can use the window I mentioned above (place it before the lock-in).
For a design that really plays well, use a producer-consumer design pattern to get the calculations done in parallel with the DAQ.
I suggest you to check on wikipedia for some of the keywords I mentioned. Go also for the external links which lead to great tutorials and AppNotes on the signal processing basics.
Sorry, it's not a simple solution I offer and we will have quite some conversation on this forum if you follow this path. Maybe someone else knows a simpler way.

My latest community nugget on producer/consumer design
My current blog: A journey through uml
An interesting view. the sine wave can indeed be looked as a second harmonic of the square wave. I will implement your idea and get back to you as soon as I get some results. But since I have very limited knowledge of signal processing, it might take me a while to get my hear around the solution you mentioned.

Difference between two date in bex query

Hi all,
I need to do a difference between two date using formula variable processing type customer exit beaucause I must use factory calendar in the formula.
How can I do it?
Can you give me an example of the routine?
Thanks a lot
Gianmarco

Hi,
You can still use the same code to copy it and customize as per your need. All you need to do is to subract the dates using the class: CL_ABAP_TSTMP after converting to timestamp and resulting seconds you convert back to days....Please get help from the developers to do this...
Also, ensure that you write back this difference value to your variable so you get it on the reports for your calculations...
Cheers,
Emmanuel.
