CASE Statement in IRR Compute(probable bug)

In IRR i am not able to create Compute with CASE statement. It is giving me error
"Invalid computation expression. THEN"
It is simple Compute
CASE WHEN A = 'SALES' THEN B + C ELSE B END
Also when i noticed the available functions(in Compute screen) THEN is missing.
Is it a bug? or I am missing something
Regards
Prabahar

I'm also running into this bug, though we're still back at Apex 3.1.1.
Has anyone figured out a workaround for it? I tried changing CASE to a DECODE, but I'm still getting an error. I'm having trouble understanding how any computation that used a function would pass this validation test.
Suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Stew

  • If I have floating values such as 6.3, 6.7, 6.9, 7.1, 7.2 how do I write a case statement to handle that

    How do I write a case statement If I want a case for x < 1.5;   a case for 1.5 <= x <= 3.7;  case for  3.7 < x < 7.2.....etc.   My input is a floating number.
    Thank you.

    Nice method with the Threshold function. I was not aware of the limitation with -Inf. Odd.
    Actually, my code operates correctly as long as the first element is smaller than all other elements in the array. We don't need any special handling.
    Maybe NaN is not a bug if the array starts with -Inf, because the interpolated index for any number between the second element and -inf will be infinitely close to 1, thus a result of zero can never be obtained (try a first element of -1e50 and you'll always get 1 unless you go to very huge negative numbers).
    The way threshold array is defined, the behavior should be obvious, the problem is assigning a fractional index.
    It is unexpected that an input equal to the second element also results in NaN. That might be a bug. (see image).
    I probably won't post an idea, maybe a bug report after some more thinking...

  • CASE not found while executing CASE statement on Submit Form

    Hi to all APEX users and developers.
    I have several APEX applications and they are all working well, but recently I got one strange exception when I try to submit page:

    ...metadata, fetch page info

    Page has more than 120 items (most of them are hidden), so my first thought is that page has problem with posting so many items, but APEX error message doesn't hel me at all. Any help would be very appreciated :)
    Almir

    Hi Almir,
    actually it is the 100 page item limit. See (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/limits.htm)
    I also had a look into the source code and the code at the position where the error gets raised only supports 100 page items.
    Can you have a look into the generated HTML code and look if you have a page items which is mapped to p_t101 or a higher number ?
    I will file a bug to show a better error message.
    Regards

  • Case statement

    hi.
    i have a case statement query. i wonder if in the select statement, can i do computation using different parameter from the main report to subreport?
    for example, (qty * parameter)
    if parameter = 0, i uses $P{abc} to multiply qty
    if parameter > 0, i uses $P{xyz} to multiply qty
    in this case, i've writen a sql (as below) but its does not execute.
    select ....., (QTY *
    case $P{QTY}
    when 0 then ' * $P{abc}'
    else ' $P{xyz}'
    end
    from....
    hence, what should i do in order to get the right parameter to multiply with? pls guide. thanks.

    I'm not sure about these parameter placeholders which are specific to whatever report tool you are using, but the structure would be (assuming the parameter value would never be less than zero):
    qty * case when $P{QTY} = 0 then $P{abc} else $P{xyz} end

    I think you're getting the idea, but:
    You're still selecting 2 columns in the (scalar) subquery. Did you read the link I posted for you?
    "a) scalar subqueries - *a single row, single column query that you use in place of a "column"*, it looks like a column or function."
    You must move that query outside, join to template.
    Something like:

  • Case statement and Decode function both are not working in Select cursor.

    I have tried both the Case statement and Decode function in Select cursor, but both the things are not working. On the other hand both the things work in just select statement.
    See the first column in select (PAR_FLAG), I need to have this evaluated along with other fields. Can you please suggest some thing to make this work. And also I would like to
    know the reason why decode is not working, I heard some where Case statement do not work with 8i.

  • Case Statement in sub query

    Hi, I have two issues, here is my initial code:
    select
    cc.name_id_no
    ,cc.discover_date
    ,cc.cla_case_no
    ,max(rl.year_of_incident)Non_Loss_Past_5
    ,rl.timestamp
    from cla_case cc, rbn_loss rl
    where cc.name_id_no = rl.customer_no
    and rl.year_of_incident < trunc(cc.discover_date)
    and rl.type_of_loss < 1000
    and rl.timestamp < trunc(cc.discover_date)
    and (cc.question_class = 20
    or cc.question_class = 25)
    and (trunc(cc.discover_date)- (rl.year_of_incident)) < 1095
    --and (trunc(cc.discover_date) <> (rl.year_of_incident))
    group by cc.cla_case_no,name_id_no, cc.discover_date,rl.timestamp
    Now a cla_case_no can map to several year_of_incident. I only want the cla_case_no that maps to the max year_of_incident ie There should only be a single cla_case_no corresponding to the max year_of_incident.
    To get around this I did the following which is not very efficient and I'm hoping it can be improved:
    select distinct z.cla_case_no from (
    select
    cc.name_id_no
    ,cc.discover_date
    ,cc.cla_case_no
    ,max(rl.year_of_incident)Non_MW_Loss_Past_5
    ,rl.timestamp
    from cla_case cc, rbn_loss rl
    where cc.name_id_no = rl.customer_no
    and rl.year_of_incident < trunc(cc.discover_date)
    and rl.type_of_loss < 1000
    and rl.timestamp < trunc(cc.discover_date)
    and (cc.question_class = 20
    or cc.question_class = 25)
    and (trunc(cc.discover_date)- (rl.year_of_incident)) < 1095
    --and (trunc(cc.discover_date) <> (rl.year_of_incident))
    group by cc.cla_case_no,name_id_no, cc.discover_date,rl.timestamp
    ) z
    Now comes the second issue: The above is actually a subquery that will link to a bigger table via cla_case_no ccx
    SELECT
    ie ,(select distinct z.cla_case_no from (
    select cc.name_id_no, cc.discover_date ,cc.cla_case_no, max(rl.year_of_incident)Non_MW_Loss_Past_5, rl.timestamp
    from cla_case cc, rbn_loss rl
    where cc.name_id_no = rl.customer_no
    and rl.year_of_incident < trunc(cc.discover_date)
    and rl.type_of_loss < 1000
    and rl.timestamp < trunc(cc.discover_date)
    and (cc.question_class = 20
    or cc.question_class = 25)
    and (trunc(cc.discover_date)- (rl.year_of_incident)) < 1095
    --and (trunc(cc.discover_date) <> (rl.year_of_incident))
    group by cc.cla_case_no,name_id_no, cc.discover_date,rl.timestamp
    ) z
    where z.cla_case_no = ccx.cla_case_no
    ) Non_MW_Loss_Past_5
    FROM etc
    Now only certain cc.cla_case_no from the subquery will corresp to the ccx_cla_case_no from the main table and the other entries will be null.
    What I require is that if the subquery returns a result that IS NOT NULL to return 'Y' ELSE 'N' instead of the varies cla_case_no's and (null) entries in the Non_MW_Loss_Past_5 column
    Thanks!!!

    Hi,
    It looks like you have another copy of this question:
    Case Statement and sub query
    That's probably not your fault, but you should mark the other copy as "Answered" right away, and then you'll only have to look for replies in one place.

  • Case statement in where clause ??

    Hello gurus,
    Can we use case statements in where clause ?? Any example will be great!
    And also i would like to know, besides CASE and DECODE statements, Is there any way we can use IF ELSE statements in SELECT clause or in WHERE clause ?
    Thank you!!

    Hi,
    user642297 wrote:
    Hoek,
    Thanks for the reply
    Whatever you return from 'then' should match your criteria.I didnt get this part...can you elaborate this part ?? Thank you!!Remember what a CASE expression does: it returns a single value in one of the SQL data types (or NULL).
    You're probably familiar with conditions such as
    WHERE   col = 1Inthe example above, col could be replaced by any kind of expression: a function call, and operation (such as "d * 24") or a CASE expression, which is exactly what Hoek posted:
    where  case
             when col = 6 then 1
             when col = 9 then 1
           end = 1;I think what Hoek meant about mnatching was this: since the CASE expression is being compared to a NUMBER, then every THEN clause (as well as the ELSE, if there is one) should return the same data type. You can't have one THEN clause return a NUMBER, and another one in the same CASE expression return a DATE, like this:
    where  case
             when col = 6 then 1
             when col = 9 then SYSDATE     -- WRONG! Raises ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes
           end = 1; 
    By the way, it's rare when a CASE expression really helps in a WHERE clause. CASE is great for doing conitional stuff in places where you otherwise can't (in the ORDER BY clause, for example), but the WHERE clause was designed for conditions.
    Hoek was just trying to give a simple example. If you really wanted those results, it would be simpler to say:
    where  col = 6
    or     col = 9and simpler still to say
    where  col  IN (6, 9)

  • Grouping using report query / Case statement in toplink

    I have following tables
    1. Student with columns id, gender
    2. Subject_Score with columns id, student_id, subject_id, score
    To get scores grouped by subject, I am doing
    ExpressionBuilder subjScoreBuilder = new ExpressionBuilder();
    ReportQuery query = new ReportQuery(SubjectScore.class);
    query.addAverage("average-score",subjScoreBuilder.get("score"));
    query.addGrouping(subjScoreBuilder.get("subjectId"));
    Vector responses = (Vector) serverSession.executeQuery(query);
    Float score = (Float) queryResult.get("average-score");
    This works fine. It gives avg score per each subject
    Now i want both in one query
    A) avg score per subject
    B) avg score per subject per gender
    I want to achive this in one query
    I am doing like:
    ExpressionBuilder subjScoreBuilder =new ExpressionBuilder(SubjectScore.class);
    ExpressionBuilder studentExpBuilder = new ExpressionBuilder(Student.class);
    Expression expression = subjScoreBuilder.get("studentid").equal(studentExpBuilder.get("id")));
    ReportQuery query = new ReportQuery(SubjectScore.class, expression);
    query.addAverage("average-score", subjScoreBuilder.get("score"));
    query.addGrouping( subjScoreBuilder.get("subjectId"));
    query.addGrouping( studentExpBuilder.get("gender"));
    This gives me avg scor per each subject per gender. i.e.
    it applies grouping on both subjectId & gender.
    This is fine.
    But I also want avg score per each subject (group on subject only) in same query.
    1. How can we achive it?
    2. is there something like Case statement in toplink?      
    Thanks a lot for any help.

    I believe in SQL you would need two queries to do this directly, so you will need to issue two queries.
    You could select the Count and Avg, this would give you all the data need to compute the Avg yourself.
    i.e.
    (count(male) * avg(male) + count(female) * avg(female)) / (count(male) + count(female))

  • Creating view containing case statements received error ORA-22992

    We have a create view referencing table through dblink. The select statement in the create view has case statements, when running the Select statement alone, results are return. However, when executing the create view, it returns:
    SQL Error: ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables
    22992. 00000 - "cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables"
    *Cause:    A remote LOB column cannot be referenced.
    *Action:   Remove references to LOBs in remote tables.
    One of the source table has LOB column but not in the select statement. The strange thing is when removing the case statement from the select, create view works fine. Can anybody tell me what caused the error and how to fix it?

    What is your 4 digit Oracle version?
    Try rewriting the query to not use ANSI SQL92 joins. I found a link where this solved a problem similar to yours.
    DBLink problem ORA-22992

    But, look at this curious thing: I re-write the query as follows:
    SELECT A.ID, A.ID_REF, A.EVENDATE, B.DESCRIPTION
    FROM A@ORCL A, B@ORCL B
    WHERE A.ID_REF = B.ID_REF;
    and it works fine... It seems like Oracle don't like the ANSI SQL92...

    You have migrated your Oracle 9i database to 10g and a distributed statement which worked fine in 9i now is getting error ORA-22992 “cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables”. Even though the related remote table(s) does not contain any LOB column datatype.
    FIX:
    There is a bug on 9i,10g, and 11g that is related to this error. It is being fixed in 11.2. It can also be backported for previous 9i, 10g and 11g releases under the latest patchsets.
    You may also do a workaround as follow:
    Modify the affected SQL by adding the TO_CHAR function. For example:
    -- Original SQL:
    SELECT NVL2('a', 'b','c' ) FROM dual@remote_db;
    -- Modified SQL:
    SELECT TO_CHAR(NVL2('a','b','c')) FROM dual@remote_db;
    >
    See if that helps.

  • Case Statement Error - Need help

    What's wrong with this case statement
    Case When Opportunity."Probability %" = '0' then "- Product Revenue"."Product Revenue (000)" *( Opportunity."Probability %" / 100) else "- Product Revenue"."Product Revenue (000)" *( "Opportunity - Product"."Probability %" / 100) end if
    I am getting an error when I place this in a pivot table

    Disregard, it is working now

  • 11g outer join with case statement - strange results.

    Hello All,
    I am experiencing a strange issues in 11g while using case statement.
    I am not able to reproduce this using sample data. Not sure what is wrong.
    I am not narrowing it to say the usage of case statemnt is giving wrong results, but that is my observation when I am doing trail and error testing.
    Here are the details.

  • Case statement for interactive report error

  • SQL Case Statement

    Hi,
    could you please advise how to add below New case to below Main case
    New case:
    when (convert(varchar,date,101) >= '01/01/2014' OR qtr >= '14Q1') then
    case when PP='ABC' and pl='EFG' then Revenue*.552
    else 0 end
    Main case:
    SUM(
    case
    when ((convert(varchar,date,101)>= '09/19/2013' and qtr = '13Q3') OR qtr >= '13Q4') then
    case when PP='ABC' and pl='EFG' then Revenue*.542
    else 0 end
    when (convert(varchar,date,101) < '09/19/2013' OR qtr < '13Q3') then
    case when PP='ABC' and pl='EFG' then Revenue*.501
    else 0 end
    else 0 end) revenue,

    There is no CASE statement in SQL; we have CASE expression. AND you got the syntax wrong. SQL uses the ISO-8601 date format; it is one of the most basic ISO Standards on Earth AND you should know it. But worse than that, you are still using the 1970's
    Sybase CONVERT string function! NO! Did you know that DATE is a reserved word in SQL AND cannot be a column name? 
    When we design a code for temporal units like Quarters, we follow the ISO-8601 as closely as possible. That means a full four-digit year. 
    Since you were rude AND did post DDL, I will guess that your improper “date” is a TIMESTAMP (aka DATETIME or DATETIME2(n) in Microsoft dialect). 
    >> could you please advise how to add below New CASE to below Main CASE <<
    I never heard the term “main CASE”, even when I voted on this feature. Can you explain it to me and show where I missed it? 
    The quarters are temporal computations; we would not put them in a base table, but a good SQL programmer would use a VIEW with a join to a report period table.   
    CASE WHEN CAST (foobar_timestamp AS DATE) >= '2014-01-01'
           OR foobar_qtr > = '2014Q1'
         THEN CASE WHEN pp = 'ABC' 
                   AND pl = 'EFG'
              THEN something_revenue * 0.552
              ELSE 0.000 END;
    I will assume that pl and pp well-understood terms in your industry and not improper data element names. Why did you nest CASE expressions? Let me answer that: you think that CASE is IF-THEN-ELSE statements! 
    Did you notice that an event during '2014Q1' is always BETWEEN '2014-01-01' AND '2014-03-31'? So this is redundant! 
    A minor point, it is good idea to use a leading zeroes and decimal zeroes to show the guy maintaining code what he is working with. It also helps the compiler avoid casting. Your expression also has no name. 
    CASE WHEN CAST (foobar_timestamp AS DATE) > = '2014-01-01'
     AND pp = 'ABC' 
     AND pl = 'EFG'
     THEN something_revenue * 0.552
     ELSE 0.00 END AS nameless_floob;
    I am afraid that you might have re-discovered the Algol-60 dangling ELSE problem. As with Algol-60, the ELSE in SQL associates with the nearest CASE. Not with the outermost CASE. 
    Your expression ought to have this skeleton: 
    SUM(CASE WHEN ??? 
             THEN something_revenue * 0.542
             WHEN ??? 
             THEN something_revenue * 0.501
             WHEN ???
             THEN something_revenue * 0.552
             ELSE 0.000 END)
