Case statements to count Contact numbers

Hi,
I'm trying to use CASE IF or WHEN statements to count simple Contact numbers by owner or region. I need to count the following in separate fields of course:
Number of contact type = Customers
Number of Contact types = Propects
Number of Contacts at each seniority level (6 levels)
Number of contact validated (tick box)
I presume I need to write a CASE statement that I can then use to Sum for each column but I'm struggling with CASE statements to apply an CASE IF Column equals 'Customer' then count 1 for example. Never done these before so any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Contact type field is Contact."Contact Type"
Contact Seniority is Contact.PICK_3
Thanks,
Chris

here is an example:
sum (case when contact type = 'Customers' then 1 else 0 end)
Do the same for the second and forth in your list as above ;
include the Contact.PICK_3 and # of contact fields in step 1;
add region, owner, # of Customers, # of Prospects and # of validated in row section of your pivot view;
add Contact.PICK_3 to column section;
add # of contact to the measurement section.

Hi,
This is a simplified version of my query.
I am trying to do 4 things here,
1. count A.M_ID
2. count distinct A.M_ID, this is where I have a problem.
3. and 4. Its just the sum from 2 diff columns.
Note that the dates for count and amt are different and I can't hard code them.
Can any one help me in the distinct count step?
This query is also running kinda slow.
So any suggestions, comments are very welcome.
Note: TABLE_A has 700 million recs, TABLE_B 4 million and TABLE_c is just 500 recs
Thanks!

Taking advantage of the fact that most aggregate functions ignore nulls, you could do something like:
SELECT a.p_id, b.p_name, c.p_desc,
       COUNT(CASE WHEN a.date BETWEEN TRUNC(ADD_MONTHS(LAST_DAY(sysdate),-4) + 1) AND
                                      ADD_MONTHS(LAST_DAY(TO_DATE(sysdate)),-1) AND
                       a.m_id IS NOT NULL THEN m_id END) AS countall,
       COUNT(DISTINCT CASE WHEN a.date BETWEEN TRUNC(ADD_MONTHS(LAST_DAY(sysdate),-4) + 1) AND
                                    ADD_MONTHS(LAST_DAY(TO_DATE(sysdate)),-1) AND
                     a.m_id IS NOT NULL THEN a.m_id END) AS unique_count, /* entirely possible */
       SUM(CASE WHEN a.date BETWEEN TRUNC(sysdate,'YEAR') AND
                                    ADD_MONTHS(LAST_DAY(TO_DATE(sysdate)),-1) THEN a.amt_1
                ELSE 0 END) AS total_amt_1,
       SUM(CASE WHEN A.DATE BETWEEN TRUNC(sysdate,'YEAR') AND
                                    ADD_MONTHS(LAST_DAY(TO_DATE(sysdate)),-1) THEN A.AMT_2
                ELSE 0 END) AS TOTAL_AMT_2
FROM table_a a, table_b b, table_c c
WHERE a.p_id = b.p_id and
      b.pt_id = c.pt_id
GROUP BY a.p_id, b.p_name, c.p_descThe two case statements inside the COUNT return either a.m_id or NULL. A simplified test case is:
SQL> WITH t as (
2     SELECT 1 m_id, 9 dt FROM dual UNION ALL
3     SELECT 1 m_id, 6 dt FROM dual UNION ALL
4     SELECT 2 m_id, 9 dt FROM dual UNION ALL
5     SELECT 2 m_id, 6 dt FROM dual UNION ALL
6     SELECT 1 m_id, 5 dt FROM dual UNION ALL
7     SELECT 2 m_id, 5 dt FROM dual UNION ALL
8     SELECT null m_id, 9 dt FROM dual)
9 SELECT count(CASE WHEN dt BETWEEN 6 and 9 THEN m_id end) cid,
10         count(distinct CASE WHEN dt BETWEEN 6 and 9 THEN m_id end) cdid
11 FROM t;
       CID       CDID
         4          2I'm not entirely sure that you actually need the a.m_id IS NOT NULL predicate in the CASE statements, but I left it to be safe.

MDX -Children count function Not working in Case statement

Hi,
I am trying to create set when you slice with the Hierarchy member is leaf level , I want a output only that Leaf level .
and When I slice with the parent level , it has to give all the members below that parent level.
But the problem here is when I select child member or leaf member , The first condition in the Case is not working
WITH SET
TESTSET AS
CASE
WHEN
[Dimension].[Hierarchy].currentmember.children.count<0
THEN
[Dimension].[Hierarchy].currentmember
ELSE
DESCENDANTS([Dimension].[Hierarchy].Currentmember,,AFTER)
END
SELECT
WBSSET ON 1,
{} on 0
FROM
(SELECT {[Dimension].[Hierarchy].&[10]} ON COLUMNS FROM [CubeName])
Thanks,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
I don't think Children count function not working in case statement, I have tested it on my local environment, here s the sample query for you reference.
with member
testset as
case
when
[Geography].[Geography].currentmember.children.count<10
then "X"
else "OK"
end
select testset on 0,
{[Geography].[Geography].[Country].members} on 1

In your scenario, the issue might be caused by the query isself, you can try to use IsLeaf Funcion to achieve your requirement. Please refer to the links below.

Count Distinct Wtih CASE Statement - Does not follow aggregation path

All,
I have a fact table, a day aggregate and a month aggregate. I have a time hierarchy and the month aggregate is set to the month level, the day aggregate is set to the day level within the time hierarchy.
When using any measures and a field from my time dimension .. the appropriate aggregate is chosen, ie month & activity count .. month aggregate is used. Day & activity count .. day aggregate is used.
However - when I use the count distinct aggregate rule .. the request always uses the lowest common denominator. The way I have found to get this to work is to use a logical table source override in the aggregation tab. Once I do this .. it does use the aggregates correctly.
A few questions
1. Is this the correct way to use aggregate navigation for the count distinct aggregation rule (using the source override option)? If yes, why is this necessary for count distinct .. what is special about it?
2. The main problem I have now is that I need to create a simple count measure that has a CASE statement in it. The only way I see to do this is to select the Based on Dimensions checkbox which then allows me to add a CASE statement into my count distinct clause. But now the aggregation issue comes back into play and I can't do the logical table source override when the based on dimensions checkbox is checked .. so I am now stuck .. any help is appreciated.
K

Ok - I found a workaround (and maybe the preferred solution for my particular issue), which is - Using a CASE Statement with a COUNT DISTINCT aggregation and still havine AGGREGATE AWARENESS
To get all three of the requirements above to work I had to do the following:
- Create the COUNT DISTINCT as normal (counting on a USERID physically mapped column in my case)
- Now I need to map my fact and aggregates to this column. This is where I got the case statement to work. Instead of trying to put the case statement inside of the Aggregate definition by using the checkbox 'Base on Dimension' (which didnt allow for aggregate awareness for some reason) .. I instead specified the case statement in the Column Mapping section of the Fact and Aggregate tables.
- Once all the LTS's (facts and aggregates) are mapped .. you still have to define the Logical Table Source overrides in the aggregate tab of the count distinct definition. Add in all the fact and aggregates.
Now the measure will use my month aggregate when i specify month, the day aggregate when i specify day, etc..
If you are just trying to use a Count Distinct (no CASE satement needed) with Aggregate Awareness, you just need to use the Logical Table Source override on the aggregate tab.
There is still a funky issue when using the COUNT aggregate type. As long as you dont map multiple logical table sources to the COUNT column it works fine and as expected. But, if you try to add in multiple sources and aggregate awareness it randomly starts SUMMING everything .. very weird. The blog in this thread says to check the 'Based on Dimension' checkbox to fix the problem but that did not work for me. Still not sure what to do on this one .. but its not currently causing me a problem so I will ignore for now ;)
Thanks for all the help

Case statement to compare date and then count duration from only one date

Hi All;
I need to compare two dates and if date 1 > date 2 then consider date 2 and count its duration of appointments from date 2
case when CTE.scheduledstart between [dbo].[DateTimeConvert] (new_dateofapplication) and
         [dbo].[DateTimeConvert](ac.new_businessstartdate)
         then
        (CTE.scheduleddurationminutes)
when ( [dbo].[DateTimeConvert] (new_dateofapplication) > [dbo].[DateTimeConvert](ac.new_businessstartdate))
        then
         [dbo].[DateTimeConvert](ac.new_businessstartdate)
        end as 'AFTERAPP',
Any help on this is much appreciated
I need to use case statement fro this
Thanks
Pradnya07

when you say list of Appointments from Appointments table calculate duration from this date [dbo].[DateTimeConvert]
do you mean find out duration from multiple record? or do you want
suration for each row? also what represents this date here? Is it new_dateofapplication?
can you show expected result for the data posted above?

Case Statement and Sequential Count

I would like to obtain user input via a prompt and use what the user selects in my OBIEE Report case statement. I ve done the parameter part with a presentation variable.
and a filter with the following.
Recv Date is between @{Repair_Start_Date}{01-01-2013} and @{Repair_End_Date}{01-01-2013}
Now I would like to have a sequential count of the records that meet the case statement, please advise.
For example &START_DATE AND &END_DATE are user inputs:
CASE when SHIP_DATE BETWEEN &START_DATE AND &END_DATE THEN 1
Thanks

Hi,
Here is a way you could try.
CASE when SHIP_DATE BETWEEN &START_DATE AND &END_DATE THEN RSUM(1) END
So, what it does?
Whenever the CASE statement is satisfied, it increments 1 by 1.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

CASE statement in SQL Server

I am working on a project for ambulance response times. In
the following query which is in my coldfusion code, I am using a
CASE statement on a subquery to count the ambulance response times
in bins. An ambulance should arrive at an emergency incident in
less than 8:59 (539 seconds) or else it is considered late. In my
coldfusion Transact-SQL code I am:
1.) doing a subquery.
2.) counting the 'event numbers' based on the time it took
for the ambulance to arrive.
3.) only counting Lee County ambulances and excluding A6 type
calls (non-emergencies).
4.) grouping it by the dateparts.
SELECT DATENAME("M", I.I_tTimeDispatch) as mths,
(DATEPART("yyyy", I.I_tTimeDispatch)) AS yr,
COUNT(CASE WHEN (DATEDIFF("S",I.I_tTimeDispatch,
I.I_tTimeArrival)) BETWEEN 0 AND 539 THEN evnt END) AS OnTime,
COUNT(CASE WHEN (DATEDIFF("S",I.I_tTimeDispatch,
I.I_tTimeArrival)) BETWEEN 540 AND 1028 THEN evnt END) AS Late,
COUNT(CASE WHEN (DATEDIFF("S",I.I_tTimeDispatch,
I.I_tTimeArrival)) > 1028 THEN evnt END) AS Outlier
FROM (SELECT I_EventNumber AS evnt, I_tTimeDispatch,
I_tTimeArrival, I_kTypeInfo, I_Agency FROM dbo.IIncident) as I
INNER JOIN dbo.ITypeInfo AS T ON I.I_kTypeInfo =
T.ITI_TypeInfo_PK
WHERE I.I_Agency='LC'
AND T.ITI_TypeID NOT LIKE 'A6*'
GROUP BY (DATEPART("M", I.I_tTimeDispatch)), (DATENAME("M",
I.I_tTimeDispatch)), (DATEPART("yyyy", I.I_tTimeDispatch))
ORDER BY (DATEPART("yyyy", I.I_tTimeDispatch)) ASC,
(DATEPART("M", I.I_tTimeDispatch)) ASC
Here is my problem!
I go into Microsoft Access to verify my statistics and I get
different counts. For instance, in April 2008 my coldfusion query
returns 3,944 on-time ambulance responses. My Access query for the
same time period using only Lee County ambulances and excluding A6
non-emergencies returns only 3,805 responses. This is an undercount
of 139 responses. Even for my other time bins I am getting an
undercount.
Here is my Access SQL for the on time response bin (<539
seconds or 8:59):
SELECT Count(dbo_IIncident.I_EventNumber) AS
CountOfI_EventNumber
FROM dbo_IIncident INNER JOIN dbo_ITypeInfo ON
dbo_IIncident.I_kTypeInfo = dbo_ITypeInfo.ITI_TypeInfo_PK
WHERE (((dbo_IIncident.I_Agency)="lc") AND
((dbo_ITypeInfo.ITI_TypeID) Not Like "a6*") AND
((dbo_IIncident.I_tTimeDispatch) Between #4/1/2008# And #5/1/2008#)
AND
((DateDiff("s",[dbo_IIncident]![I_tTimeDispatch],[dbo_IIncident]![I_tTimeArrival]))
Between 0 And 539));
How could two queries that are supposed to be doing the same
thing return such different results?
To clear up any confusion I am temporarily posting the page.
Please look at it because it may help you visualize the problem.
http://lcfcfn01/Secure/GTandLT_8_59.cfm

Thank you for your quick reply.
I thought about that, but it isn't what is causing the
discrepancy in the numbers. This is because Access is hitting the
SQL Server through ODBC. The time stamps in SQL Server are ODBC
datetime stamps so they look like this: 4/19/2008 6:20:18 PM
When my query uses the date #5/1/2008# it is like saying May
1, 2008 00:00:00. Please correct me if I am wrong. The query won't
return any results from May 1, 2008 because it stops at zero
hundred hours. I believe it will only go to April 30, 2008 23:59:59
and then stop there.
I do try and play with the date ranges and the 'seconds'
(<539 or >539) parameter and I consistently get different
results from what my coldfusion page is telling me.

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

CASE STATEMENTS AND CASE EXPRESSIONS IN ORACLE9I PL/SQL

CASE STATEMENTS AND CASE EXPRESSIONS IN ORACLE9I PL/SQL
=======================================================
PURPOSE
아래의 자료는 Case 문에서 oracle 8.1.7과 Oracle 9i의 New Feature로 8.1.7에서는
sqlplus 에서만 가능했고, 9i 부터는 pl/sql 까지 가능하다.
Explanation
1. Oracle 8.1.7 Feature
Oracle 8.1.7 에서 Case 문은 Decode 문과 유사하지만, 기존의 decode 문을 쓰는 것보다
더 많은 확장성과 Logical Power와 좋은 성능을 제공한다. 주로 나이와 같이 category 별로
나눌때 주로 사용하고 Syntex는 아래와 같다.
CASE WHEN <cond1> THEN <v1> WHEN <cond2> THEN <v2> ... [ELSE <vn+1> ] END
각각의 WHEN...THEN 절의 argument 는 255 까지 가능하고 이 Limit를 해결하려면
Oracle 8i Reference를 참조하면 된다.
The maximum number of arguments in a CASE expression is 255, and each
WHEN ... THEN pair counts as two arguments. To avoid exceeding the limit of 128 choices,
you can nest CASE expressions. That is expr1 can itself be a CASE expression.
Case Example : 한 회사의 모든 종업원의 평균 봉급을 계산하는데 봉급이 $2000보다 작은경우
2000으로 계산을 하는 방법이 pl/sql을 대신하여 case function을 사용할 수 있다.
SELECT AVG(CASE when e.sal > 2000 THEN e.sal ELSE 2000 end) FROM emp e;
Case Example : 나이를 column으로 가지고 있는 customer table을 예로 들어보자.
SQL> SELECT
2 SUM(CASE WHEN age BETWEEN 70 AND 79 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "70-79",
3 SUM(CASE WHEN age BETWEEN 80 AND 89 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "80-89",
4 SUM(CASE WHEN age BETWEEN 90 AND 99 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "90-99",
5 SUM(CASE WHEN age > 99 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "100+"
6 FROM customer;

5 WHEN age > 99 THEN '100+' END) as age_group,
6 COUNT(*) as age_count
7 FROM customer
8 GROUP BY
9 (CASE WHEN age BETWEEN 70 AND 79 THEN '70-79'
10 WHEN age BETWEEN 80 and 89 THEN '80-89'
11 WHEN age BETWEEN 90 and 99 THEN '90-99'
12* WHEN age > 99 THEN '100+' END)
SQL> /

Example
2. Oracle 9i Feature
Oracle 9i부터는 pl/sql에서도 case문을 사용할 수 있으면 이것은
복잡한 if-else 구문을 없애고, C언어의 switch문과 같은 기능을 한다.
아래의 9i pl/sql Sample 및 제약 사항을 보면 아래와 같다.
Sample 1:
A simple example demonstrating the proper syntax for a case
statement
using a character variable as the selector. See the section entitled
'Restrictions' at the end of this article for details on which PLSQL
datatypes may appear as a selector in a case statement or
expression.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code begins here - - - - - - - - - - - -
set serveroutput on

achar char(1) := '&achar';

when 'A' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was Excellent');
when 'B' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was Very Good');
when 'C' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was Good');
when 'D' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was Fair');
when 'F' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was Poor');
else dbms_output.put_line('The description was No such Grade');
end case;
end;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code ends here - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sample 2:
A simple example demonstrating the proper syntax for a case
expression
using a character variable as the selector. See the section entitled
'Restrictions' at the end of this article for details on which PLSQL
datatypes may appear as a selector in a case statement or
expression.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code begins here - - - - - - - - - - - -

description varchar2(20);

description :=
case achar
when 'A' then 'Excellent'
when 'B' then 'Very Good'
when 'C' then 'Good'
when 'D' then 'Fair'
when 'F' then 'Poor'
else 'No such grade'
end;
dbms_output.put_line('The description was ' || description);
end;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code ends here - - - - - - - - - - - -
NOTE: The above simple samples demonstrate two subtle differences in the
syntax
required for case statements and expressions.
1) A case STATEMENT is terminated using the 'end case' keywords; a
case
EXPRESSION is terminated using only the 'end' keyword.
2) Each item in a case STATEMENT consists of one or more
statements, each
terminated by a semicolon. Each item in a case expression
consists of
exactly one expression, not terminated by a semicolon.
Sample 3:
Sample 1 demonstrates a simple case statement in which the selector
is
compared for equality with each item in the case statement body.
PL/SQL
also provides a 'searched' case statement as an alternative; rather
than
providing a selector and a list of values, each item in the body of
the
case statement provides its own predicate. This predicate can be any
valid boolean expression, but only one case will be selected.

end case;
end;

Sample 5:
This sample demonstrates the use of nested case statements. It is
also
permissable to nest case expressions within a case statement (though
it
is not demonstrated here), but nesting of case statements within a
case
expression is not possible since statements do not return any value.

Although PL/SQL anonymous blocks have been used in all of the examples
so far,
case statements and expressions can also be used in procedures,
functions, and
packages with no changes to the syntax.
The following samples are included for completeness and demonstrate the
use of
case statements and/or expressions in each of these scenarios.
Sample 7:
This sample demonstrates use of a case statement in a stored
procedure.
Note that this sample also demonstrates that it is possible for each
of
the items in the case body to consist of more than one statement.

Object type (user-defined type)
All of these types except for object types face a similar restriction

Reference Ducumment
Oracle 8.1.7 Manual
NOTE:131557.1

I have done the following code but doesn't
like the statement of - "case(butNext)". What do you mean "doesn't like" -- did you get an error message?
I'm guessing it won't compile because you're trying to switch on a Button.
I tried something
like "g.fillOval(100,50,70,90, BorderLayout.NORTH)"...no that doesn't make sense. You only use BorderLayout.NORTH when you're adding components to a BorderLayout layout manager. An oval is not a component and fillOval isn't adding a component and Graphics is not a Panel or layout manager.
Would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to position
shapes using the graohic method. I think the problem is that you're confusing shapes with components.

CASE Statement is not working Derived table

Hi All,
in the bello SQL Statement case statement is not working in derived table. I am new to creation of derived table if any body knows plz kinldy help me out on this.
SELECT x.market, x.droprate as med1

   SUM(CASE WHEN y.droprate >= x.droprate
      THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)>=(COUNT(*)/2)+1
Thanks

It looks like SQL Server or Sybase given that you're using getdate().
As such, Vinesh's comment to use decode is wrong - decode is Oracle syntax.
Looking at your statement again, I've noticed the following:
you have no { to match the first } - not sure why you're using them anyway.
you haven't given x.market a name - use x.market as market instead
use coalesce instead of nullif if you're on SQL Server.

Case statement in a multiple query

Hi everyone,
This is my first time to use case statement in a multiple query. I have tried to implement it but i got no luck.. Please see below
set define off

ELSE 'HQ'
END

where template_id = t.template_id)) as "HQ/Upload ID"

The one in bold is my case statement.. Please let me know what is wrong with this.

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 in a dynamic page

I have written a query using a CASE statement in the select portion to evaluate column values and produce a text string. The query runs fine in sql*plus, but when I attempt to add the code to a dynamic page and compile it, I get the following error message:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 720:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "CASE" when expecting one of the following:
( - + mod null <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable>
table avg count current max min prior sql stddev sum variance
execute the forall time timestamp interval date
<a string literal with character set specification>
<a number> <a single-quoted SQL string> (WWV-11230)
Critical Error in wwerr_api_error.get_errors! SQL Error Message: ORA-06502:
PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small (WWV-)
I am running oracle 8.1.7.1.0 using Portal 3.0.9.8.1
I have written a function as a workaround, but would like to know why portal does not seem to like the "CASE" statement.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chetan,
I still get an error message even when I attempt to create a small dynamic page with your cursor. The error message is posted below. I am definitely putting the cursor declaration between <ORACLE></ORACLE> tags. Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

CASE statement in Oracle 8i PL/SQL

I'm in the process of doing an upgrade from 8i to 10g and have the necessary instructions in performing it. however, after running the pre upgrade tasks (run utlu102i.sql) to show the preupgrade information, i found out that there are some INVALID objects.
Miscellaneous Warnings
WARNING: --> Database contains INVALID objects prior to upgrade.
.... USER INGITRN has 1 INVALID objects.
.... USER INGIUAT has 3 INVALID objects.
.... USER OEMMON has 7 INVALID objects.
.... USER RE_ITF_USER has 11 INVALID objects.
.... USER SYS has 1 INVALID objects.
Would it be ok to proceed with the upgrade and ignore the warnings?
Also, as i checked the invalid object for SYS, it shows:
OWNER OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE STATUS
SYS UTL_RECOMP PACKAGE VALID
SYS UTL_RECOMP PACKAGE BODY INVALID
Further more, i tried to do a fix by invoking utlirp.sql and the same objects are showing up. Same thing shows when invoking utlrp.sql or even doing a manual compile for the affected objects. I later found out that CASE statements are not accepted in PL/SQL for Oracle 8i.
Can you help me fixed the issue on the invalid object?
Thanks

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...
