Case statement in Advanced SQL filter

Hi,
I have two columns Vendors and their Sales
Vendor| Sales
------- | ---------
|
Sales is a measure. I have 4 more measures like this (sales, products, units etc). I need to create a report with two columns (one column is vendor and the other column is a measure) so that the second column changes dynamically on the dashboard. I can acheive this using Column selector. But my requirements demands to have TOPN prompt so that only top N vendors should display. Hence I created a presentation variable and mimcked the column selector functionality with a "Dashboard prompt as Column selector" (google dashboard prompt as column selector to verify how a dashboard prompt can be used as a column selector).
So finally I created a dummy column with Rank Function and arranged it in ascending order and applied the filter as (less than or equal as to the presentation variable)
so when we plug in, lets say, 5 the filter will apply to the Rank column and display the TOP 5 vendors.
Now, the real problem is...one of the measures requires the bottom 5 to display since the TOPN for that measure is calculated in descending order.
Hence in the filter I gave
Case when presentation variable = "measure" then bottomN else TOPN.... but it is returning an error...
Can you guys help me on this issue. If you dont understand the query exactly please ping me....

hi,
try a simple one...
use your function with a variable....pass manually a number let's say 5...what's your results??with a sort getting better??
then try to see the report with presentaion variable..
hope i helped...

Case statement in advanced sql

how to use case statement in advanced sql.Example if quarter=1 i need to select jan,fev,and march months from table

this is the case statement i am using :
case when 1=@{quarter} then substring(cast((etxnmis.month_year) as char) from 5 for 2) IN ('03', '04', '05') else null end
and i get the below error

Select query in Advanced SQL Filter

Hi All
I am creating a shared filter and I need to write an sql statement for a column. Can I use
string functions in the Advanced SQL Filter. My sql query is :
select distinct "Exchange Rate"."Type" from "Credit"
where substr(rtrim("Exchange Rate"."Type"),-1,2) in (select distinct substr(rtrim( "-Year"."Year Name"),-1,2)
from "Credit" where CURRENT_DATE between "-Year"."Year Start Date" and "-Year"."Year End Date" )
where, "Credit" = Name of the subject area
"Exchange Rate" and "-Year"= presentation tables
I'm getting the error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <select>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
I then tried a simple query in the Advanced SQL Filter: "Exchange Rate"."Type" = SELECT "Exchange Rate"."Type" FROM "Credit"
which does not work either.
Can't seem to debug the problem.
Thanks

Hi user770000,
How did you resolve the issue. I am trying to use the sql query in the filter and getting same error as yours.
Here is the advanced SQL of the filter condition
CAST("ARRA Financial Weekly Report"."DW Updated" AS DATE) = SELECT MAX(CAST("ARRA Financial Weekly Report"."DW Updated" AS DATE)) from "ARRA Recovery Act Status"
When I issue following sql in direct sql, it returns required value
SELECT MAX(CAST("ARRA Financial Weekly Report"."DW Updated" AS DATE)) from "ARRA Recovery Act Status"

It would be better if you can help with an example.

On a second note, can I not have the ELSE structure embedded within the case (currently commented out)?
Thanks very much in advance.

/As VG2 pointed out you were missing some semicolons.
Also, CASE input_post_code was replaced with just CASE since you are doing a searched case.
Also, END at the end of the case statement was replaced with END CASE.

Hi guys
Here is my ddl
create table TestTable
Bill_date DATE,
Phone_no NUMBER(10),
Planlvl1 VARCHAR2(20),
Planlvl2 VARCHAR2(20)
Revenue NUMBER
INSERT INTO TestTable
Values
('1/01/2014' , 64221, 'Bundle', 'SpecialPack1', '$23'),
('1/01/2014'' , 64221, 'Bundle', 'PlanA', '$32'),

Expected Outcome:
Bill_date PlanLvl2 PhonenoCount
'01/01/2014' 'SpecialPack1' 1
'01/01/2014' 'SpecialPack2' 3
'01/01/2014' 'Casual1' 1
'01/01/2014' 'Casual2' 1
'01/01/2014' 'PlanA' 1
'01/01/2014' 'PlanB' 1
Basically I have to count all the phone nos grouped by plans in a certain way:
If PlanLvl1 = Bundle, then I have to look at planLvl2 and see if that phone no has ' SpecialPack%' ,and also another plan,them 'Special pack' gets the priority and the phone no gets counted in the special pack.
In case when PlanLvl1 = Bundle and a phone no has both 'Special Packs' as their plans, then the phone no will be counted under the 'Special Pack' with higher Revenue.
In case where PalnLvl is 'Bundle' and a phone no has multiple 'Special Packs' and a non special, that ph no will only be counted once under 'Special Pack; of higher rev as compared to the special pack of lower rev.
Now there are also PlanLvl1 which are 'Non_Bundles' which means they do not have any 'SpecialPacks' but if a ph no with 'NonBundle' plan has 2 different plans under planLvl2, we need to count that ph no for eack planLvl2..
Then there is a scenario where a ph no can have bundles as well as non bundles and in that case we just have to count that ph no in bundles and not in non-bundles.
As I mentioned , 'SpecialPack2' will get a preference over special pack 1 if a phone no has got both of these
Hope this helps

I;m not sure exactly what your rules are since you specify both "In case when PlanLvl1 = Bundle and a phone no has both 'Special Packs' as their plans, then the phone no will be counted under the 'Special Pack' with higher Revenue" and "As I mentioned ,
'SpecialPack2' will get a preference over special pack 1 if a phone no has got both of these". I went with the rule "As I mentioned , 'SpecialPack2' will get a preference over special pack 1 if a phone no has got both of these" since that seemed to match
the result you say you want. I also changed the datatypes to valid SQL Server datatypes.

Just a FYI regarding Case statements in ORacle 8i in pl/sql

Well..I saw numerous posts in this forum regarding not being able to do case statement within pl/sql. Well..you can do
that using dynamic SQL. IT works like a champ.

Hi,
Try first to (re)compile ll invalid objects. then
you can run:
select owner,type,count(*) from all_errors
group by owner,typeif you still have uncompiled objects, then report the different errors:
select * from all_errors...

SSIS: Using CASE Statement Within A Derived Column Transformation Expression

The following is my Data Flow:
Ole DB Source > Copy Column > Derived Column >Ole DB Command
My OLE DB Source has the following SQL command task:
SELECT *
FROM Repair R
LEFT OUTER JOIN Vehicle V
ON R.SN = V.SN
AND R.Reg = V.Reg
LEFT OUTER JOIN Product P
ON R.PID = P.PID
This yields a column of concern for me named PartNumber, which are represented by the following 2 formats:
The following are my Copied Columns:
Input Column = PartNumber
Output Alias = Copy of PartNumber
The following are my Derived Column expressions:
Derived Column Name Derived Column Expression
Name Replace 'PartNumber' LEFT(PartNumber,FINDSTRING(PartNumber,"-",1) - 1)
Copy of Name Replace 'Copy of PartNumber' RIGHT([Copy of PartNumber],LEN([Copy of PartNumber]) - FINDSTRING([Copy of PartNumber],"-",1))
So My PartNumber Column is Replaced with ######### of type
string and the Copy of PartNumber column is replaced with
#### of type int
As I stated earlier PartNumber also is in the format of %-%-% which raises the following question:
How can I replace PartNumber Column with NULL if in format of
%-%-% and take the PartNumber and put it in new column named
SubPart while keeping all the logic within SSIS objects?
So in essence I want to do something like the following:
PartNumber = CASE
WHEN 'PartNumber' LIKE '%-%-%'
THEN ABC = PartNumber AND PartNumber IS NULL
END
I have tried the case statement in a Derived Column expression and is not working. Would I add the
CASE statement to the SQL command task in my OLE DB Source?
I hope this question is concise for you.

If it must be in SSIS, I would put a derived column stage earlier in the process to do my check for me. Then in the second derived column stage do the check against each output column (part, subpart, copy of part) to decide which way it goes
PS Not sure if it's a 2012 function but SSIS has a function called TOKEN that will allow you to pull your subparts for you rather than the left/right you are doing

CASE statement... problem using it... what have I done to deserve this?

I'm trying to use a CASE statement in Ora 8.1.7 (with compatible
set to 8.1.0) and am finding that I cannot compile the
procedure.
I'm using the CASE statement in a call to a procedure...
insert_addr (p_id_number => v_id_number,
p_addr_type => v_addr_type,
p_addr_status => v_addr_status,
p_addr_pref_ind => v_pref_addr_ind,
p_date_modified =>
(CASE
WHEN cmf_rec.hadoc = cnv_constants.nov17_1958
THEN cmf_rec.doe
ELSE cmf_rec.hadoc
END)
I'm getting "PLS-00103 Encountered the symbol "CASE" when
expecting one of the following..." error msg when compiling.
What have I done wrong? Syntax error? Should I change the
compatible parameter?
Thanks.

You can actually use the CASE statement in Pl/Sql, though not like in SqlPlus.
You have to use dynamic Sql.
Example
create or replace procedure test_case1 is
v_sql varchar2(4000);

Case Statement in Answers Filter

Hi,
I'm trying to build a query in Answers that filters the data returned based on the current month number. If the current month is 1 then we want to show all 12 months, otherwise we want to show months less than the current month. If I use the following:
CASE WHEN extract(month from current_date) = 1 THEN "Calculated Values Monthly"."MONTH" >= 1 ELSE "Calculated Values Monthly"."MONTH" < extract (month from current_date) END
I get the error below. All works fine until I add the CASE.
Error Codes: YQCO4T56:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Location: saw.views.evc.activate, saw.httpserver.processrequest, saw.rpc.server.responder, saw.rpc.server, saw.rpc.server.handleConnection, saw.rpc.server.dispatch, saw.threadpool, saw.threadpool, saw.threads
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 27002] Near <>=>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
Can you use a case statement in a filter? If not, what are the other options, if any?
Thx

ThxAccording to your requirements, when the month is January, you want all 12 months; any other number and you want months from 1 to "1 less than the current month number." Yes? Okay, here's what to do:
In the filter on your date column, click on the filter button, convert it to SQL and enter this:
MONTH(tablename.date_column) BETWEEN 1 AND CASE WHEN MONTH(CURRENT_DATE) = 1 THEN 12 ELSE MONTH(CURRENT_DATE)-1 END
Here's the logic:
a) When the current month is January, then the case statement will yield 12 and the filter will be:
WHERE MONTH(tablename.date_column) BETWEEN 1 AND 12 ...or all 12 months.
b) When the current month is any other month, say June, then the case statement will yield one less than the what the month number is, or in this case 5.
WHERE MONTH(tablename.date_column BETWEEN 1 AND 5 ...or all the months from 1 to 5 (Jan through May)
This will give you what you want...

Can CR 2008 with XML ODBC driver using SQL CASE statement?

Hi:
when i use SQL Command to provide data to the report from XML file connection. I can not use CASE statement , CR always has error message about "CASE" word.
I test the same Statement in SQL client connected to Oracle, it runs fine.
So.. Is it driver's limitation that XML datasource can not use CASE statement inside SQL command window?
Thanks anyone's reply in advance.
Johnnychi

Hi Johnny,
CR supports what every the ODBC driver supports. The error you are getting is from the XML driver, CR is just passing it through.
Try using an ODBC to XML driver and then a stand-alone ODBC test tool to see if your SQL works.
If not you'll have to find another way to use the CASE statement.
Thank you
Don

SQL Query - case statement

HI Friends ,
My Scenario in table data :
EmpId       fromdate           todate                Billtype
2              01-09-2014        09-09-2014         B
3              01-09-2014         NULL       B
2              10-09-2014        NULL            P
4             01-09-2014        NULL         U
5             01-09-2014        15-09-2014       B
5             16-09-2014        30-09-2014         U
OutPut :

2     P
3   B
4    U
5    P
requirement : Need to develop this Sql Query ..Using the Case statement .
Please Help
thanks

Wonderfull Patrick......
I executed the logic and returning the expected result . Thanks a lot.
But still need some more modification ......
suppose an employee E7 has the following entry :
E7    01-04-2014      20-06-2014       B
E7    21-06-2014      Null                   P
This means that the Employee E7 has Joined Project P1 in April First on a Billed Project and worked till July 20th and then again Moved to a Partial Billing Project P3 and from that July Till working in that Project
So as per logic , we are suppose to get the Status of the Employees in the previous Month.....logically means October...... so for the same E7 the Status would be "P"...because from July he is working on a Partial Billed Project
.....   If suppose E7 worked on an Unbilled Project from July .... then for the month of October ......the Status for the same E7 would be "U"
Soooo ......if Employee E8 made 2 transitions within a month take example of last month October .
E7    01-04-2014      20-06-2014     B
E7    21-06-2014      Null                  P
E8    01-10-2014      20-10-2014       B
E8    21-10-2014      23-10-2014       P
E8    24-10-2014      Null/Empty     U
so for this employee the Result for the November month will be "P" but if i check in month of december ...... for the same the satus should be "U" because from the last October 24th he is working on a "UnBilled Project"
Please Help ......!!!
I think what you need is just a filter like below
declare @FromDate datetime
SET @FromDate ='20141001'
SELECT EmpId,
CASE WHEN MAX(Billtype) = 'B' THEN 'B'
WHEN MIN(Billtype) = 'U' THEN 'U'
ELSE 'P'
END AS Status
FROM table
WHERE fromdate >= @FromDate
OR (fromdate < @Fromdate
AND (todate > @FromDate
OR todate IS NULL))
GROUP BY EmpId

SQL Expression in decode function or case statement?

Can I put SQL expressions in decode function or case statement?
For example,
select le.profile, decode( select count(1) from profile_data where NAME= 'XXXX_AFTER' and object_id = le.profile, 0, 'N', 'Y')
from element le;
or
select le.profile, case WHEN ( select count(1) from profile_data where NAME= 'XXXX_AFTER' and object_id = le.profile) = 0 THEN 'N'
ELSE 'Y'
from element le;
None of the above work.
Can anyone tell me how to make it work?
Is there any workaround?
Thanks,
J

You simply needed and END to your CASE statement;
SQL> with profile_data as (
   select 'XXXX_AFTER' name, 1 object_id from dual),
     element as (
   select 1 profile from dual union all
   select 2 from dual)
select le.profile,
   case WHEN ( select count(1) from profile_data where NAME= 'XXXX_AFTER' and object_id = le.profile) = 0
   THEN 'N'
   ELSE 'Y'
   END new_col
from element le
   PROFILE N
         1 Y
         2 N
