Condition IF in formula of the query!

Hi,
I need to define a Key figure which has values calculated depenidng on the logical expression:
if GID-PRD<= 2 and PRD-GID<=5 then counter should add 1 or 0 depending upon the condition success.
now i had written in the formula as follows:
(GID-PRD<=2) + ( PRD-GID<=5) * count( ).
but it is saying general syntax error.
Can any body suggest me whats wrong in what i had coded?
Thanks,
Ravi

Thanks Bhanu,
It is syntactically correct. but all the results of this KF are 1 irrespective of the condition success.
i had observed there are more fails than the successes but results are always 1.
i am missing something here for sure.
Not sure where
Thanks,
Ravi

Curerency conversion for a Formula in the query designer

Hi
I have a ' Financial Loss Formula' in the report. I want to convert this 'Financial Loss' into USD Currency at query designer level.
Source Currency = SAR
Target Currency = USD
So how can i do the curerency conversion for a Formula in the query designer.
pls let me kow

Hi,
If you define your query conversion in BW then it is easy to do currency conversion through Bex.What you need to do is use calculated key figure instead formula and do a right click select properties there at the currency translation area you ca select defined currency conversion in BW and your target currency.

Creating formula in the Query Designer

Hi,
I have a KF which I have to convert in to different unit in the query ( x/data)
The problem is some of my data in the cube is zero (0) and when I use division, it shows me error (red X) in the query output.( Divide by zero)
Is there any way to skip this division if the data is zero? How can I set my formula in the Query designer?
Thanks
M Kumar.

Hi,
Please use the NDIV() or NOERR() function outside of your expression and it will take care of the division by zero.
See here for details:

Problem with formula in the query

HI ,
In cube I have 2 fileds EU date and US date .
For example :
In cube EU date =07/02/2008
US date = 23/02/2008
In the query we have a formula with these 2 fields
formula is DUE date = DATE ( ( 'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1 ) * 'Due date US' + ( 'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 2 ) * 'Due date EU' )
In the varaible screeen we have a '"Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1"
So if u enter 1 it takes EU date and display as due date if u enter 2 it take US date and display as due date.
Problem is :
When we give "'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1"---this value 2
in the report in some cases we get due date as 02/07/2008 instead of 07/02/2008. This is not for all records only few we get like this . and for US due date this problem is not there.
Please suggest what might be the problem.

Hi,
Please check again the cell value because it may contain correct value but display may be different.
You can apply the common display property fot the whole column using the workbook properties and saving the workbook.

Two conditions in where part of the query out of which 1 is based on length

hi
am having two tables and i need to join them to get my desired output. let me explain with example
table A contains data like
>
col1 col2 col3
12345 sons abcd
23456 snms bcde
34567 snms nil
56478 sons ..
>
table B contains data like
>
col-1 col-2 col-3
sons not-subscribed 0
sons nil-balance 111
snms not-subscribed 0
snms incorrect 111
soai incorrect 111
>
i need the output like
>
col1_of_table_A col3_of_table_A col-2_of_table_B
12345 abcd nilbalance
23456 bcde incorrect
34567 nil not-subscribed
56478 .. not-subscribed
>
likely requirement in sample query format is
select a.col1,a.col3,b.col-2 from A a, B b where ((a.col2=b.col-1 and length(a.col3)>length(b.col-3)) or (a.col2=b.col-1 and length(a.col3)<length(b.col-3)))how to achieve this conditional joint?

Hi,
in your query i just added '..' instead of null for the row starting with 56478 in table A and executed the query as below and it doesn't give my desired output.
with a as
     select 12345 as col1, 'sons' as col2, 'abcd' as col3 from dual union all
    select 23456, 'snms', 'bcde' from dual union all
    select 34567, 'snms', 'nil' from dual union all
select 56478, 'sons', '..' from dual
   , b as
     select 'sons' col1, 'not-subscribed' col2, 0 col3 from dual union all
    select 'sons', 'nil-balance', 111 from dual union all
     select 'snms', 'not-subscribed', 0 from dual union all
    select 'snms', 'incorrect', 111 from dual union all
    select 'soai', 'incorrect', 111 from dual
   select col1, col3, col2
from
       select a.col1,a.col3,b.col2, row_number() over (partition by a.col1 order by b.col2) rn
        from A a
         left outer join b on (
                              (    a.col2         = b.col1
                               and length(a.col3) > length(b.col3)
                              or
                               (    a.col2         = b.col1
                               and length(a.col3) < length(b.col3)
where rn = 1
output is

COL1     COL3     COL2
12345     abcd     nil-balance
23456     bcde     incorrect

Currency conversion in the query designer level

Hi
Iam calculating the 'Financial Loss' in the Formula in the query designer.And it comes in SAR(Saudi Riyals).
But i want the 'Financial Loss' in USD in the Query Designer. Because i want the USD Financial Loss to be use in some other calculation.
Please let me know how can we do this one in the query designer. I really appreciate for it .
Regards
Kumar

Dear Ravi,
Basically there are 2 ways to do it: routine & query level.
If query level, you need to maintain it first using tcode RRC1, then you use it in your KF in your query. .
Routine level,
You can create new KF in info-provider, then in the update rules routine, you can use this function to convert the currency :
CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY
Hopefully it can help you a lot.

Change/View formula in the report ?

Hi SDNer's,
Is it possible for the user to view the formula used for a calculation in the report ?
Any close workarounds? What if the user wants even to change the formula from the report ?
Please share your thoughts.....any inputs wud really help !!
Envi - Netweaver 7.0, BEx.

Hi Werner,
I have seen that feature and that wouldn't really help us. I was looking for a way out for the user to change the formula in the query ( w/o going to query though ), like change A0.68 to A0.75 from report itself.
Thankyou though !!

Problem to get ResultSet when it is used a Date type in the query condition

hello ,
I having a bit of nightmare getting a ResultSet how result of one simple Query for a table when the condition WHERE involve a Date type.
To change the String value in a date to use in the query condition, I tried both:
String strDate = "dd/mm/yyyy";
(1.) java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(strDate.getTime() )
(2.) SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(strDate) ; sqlDate = formatter.parse(strDate);
and finally I use this code to get the ResultSet:
sql = "SELECT * FROM myTable Where (idCli = " + cd_Cli + " And dateReg = " + sqlDate + ")";
statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
resultSet = statement.executeQuery(sql);
boolean ok = resultSet.last();
totNumberOfRegistration = resultSet.getRow();
But In both the cases I get a empty resultSet.
I shoul like if someone would look my code to say me where it is the mistake...
thank you
tonyMrsangelo
P.S. I tryed using PrepareStatement too to get the ResultSet, but in that case I couldn't use the ResultSet because executing the statement resultSet.last() I get the error: "Result set type is TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY"

In a database like Oracle, you need to use a function like TO_DATE; other databases may have something similar.
However, the proper way to do this is to use a PreparedStatement. Then you can say
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("update SOMETABLE set SOME_DATE=? where SOME_ID=?");
ps.setDate(1, new java.sql.Date(someJavaUtilDate.getTime()));
ps.setInt(2, theId);
ps.executeUpdate();

How to define the query condition of Image Theme in MapBuilder?

Hi,
I'm trying to add an dynamic Image Theme in OracleMap, but there's a problem.I defined the query condition of Image Theme like this:
select scanimage,shap from image where scanimgid=467
The shap column is the MBR column
And the XML CODE:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<styling_rules theme_type="image" image_column="SCANIMAGE" image_format="JPEG" image_unit="M" image_resolution="1.0">
<rule>
<features> select scanimage,shap from image where scanimgid=467 </features>
</rule>
</styling_rules>
When i preview this Image Theme ,there is an ORA-00936 error means lack of expression.
Is there any problem with my definition?Or can query an image from an Image Theme?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Mars,
predefined image theme definition does not support a "select" statement in the <features> tag. You should just define a query condition in the <features> tag.
It seems that you are trying to use an image theme in Oracle Maps, but it currently does not support a FOI image theme. You should add a predefined image theme as part of the basemap, and maybe add scales values to set the visibility range of this image theme.

Creating customer formula to be used in the Query Designer

hi,
How can i code a specific formula to be used in the query designer. As an example, i need to calculate dynamically working days between two dates.
i tried to find the corresponding BAdl interface with no success..
Do you have any suggestion ?

Hi..
I have a scenario ... it may help..
The group HR administrator wants a detailed line item report that lists all employee absences in a given period. The report is to show the employee number, the absence start date, together with the end date of the absence and show the number of calendar days the employee was absent.
The good thing about using this technique is that no redesign work is needed from your technical BW team, no ABAP is involved and best of all, it quick and easy.
Solution:
For this example I created an ODS object called Absence that holds basic employee information along with individual absence record data.
Follow the steps below:
     Open the BEx Query Designer and create a new report on your chosen InfoProvider.
              Drag the Employee, Valid from and Valid to characteristics into the Rows section of the screen.
If needed, apply data selection restrictions to the characteristics as pop up
     Right click on the Key Figures structure and select New Formula
     In the new formula window right click on Formula Variable and choose New Variable
     The Variables Wizard will launch and will require you to specify the variable details.
( Click the NEXT button if the Introduction screen appears )
     Enter the variable details on the General Information as shown in pop up
Enter the Variable Name , Description and select Replacement Path in the Processing by field.
Click the Next Button.
     In the Characteristic screen (pop up) select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date).
Click the Next Button.
     The Save Variable screen (pop up) displays a summary of the new variable.
Click on the Finish button to save the variable.
     Repeat steps first four for to create a second variable for the second date to be used in the calculation.
In the example shown, the characteristic 0DATETO is used to create the variable ABSEND (Absence End Date)
Define the Calculation............
            The new calculated key figure will now show in the columns section of the BEx query designer
excute...

Uploading a text file from webi filter area as part of the query condition

Post Author: balasura
CA Forum: Publishing
Requirement : Uploading a text file from webi filter area as part of the query condition Hi, I am in a serious requirement which I am not sure available in BO XI. Can some one help me plz. I am using BO XI R2, webi I am generating a ad-hoc report, when I want to give a filter condition for a report, the condition should be uploaded from a .txt file. In the current scenario we have LOV, but LOV could hold only a small number of value, my requirement is just like a lov but the list of values will be available in a text file ( which could number to 2000 or 2500 rows). I would like to upload this 2500 values in the form of a flat text file to make a query and genrate report. Is it possible in BO XI? For Eg:- Select * from Shipment Where u201CShipment id = u2018SC4539u2019 or Shipment id = u2018SC4598u2019u201D The u201Cwhereu201D condition (filter) which has shipment id will be available in a text file and it needs to be loaded in the form of .txt file so that it will be part of the filter condition. Content of a .txt file could be this shipment.txt =============== SC4539 sc2034 SC2343 SC3892 . . . . etc upto 2500 shipment Ids I will be very glad if some could provide me a solution. Thanks in advance. - Bala

I m trying to get query ready for Webi, getting the error as 'The query contains a formula with the operator %RT. Therefore, the query cannot be released for OLE DB for OLAP'
I have not used any kind of s %GT, %RT, %CT, SUMGT, SUMRT, SUMCT and LEAF, also i have suppressed results / over results from the query, over to it, i have removed the calculate results as 'summation' feature and set to 'not defined' for all of my key figures.
Still getting the error...
Please suggest.

hi,
Ensure that all Link IDs are visible in the lsdal.ini file located in the \Windows\system directory of the PAS Server as those are then available to all users. The lsdal.ini file may not be correctly updated if: - You have created the BI Link IDs while using PAS in Client Server Mode - You have enabled multi user access for remote desktop. In this case an additional lsdal.ini file may appear in the user specific Windows directory of someone who may have remotely connected to the system to create the Link ID. That additional lsdal.ini file will only be valid for that specific user.
Also try adding "ODBOSECURITY=0" entry to the end of the c:\windows\lsserver.ini file on the server.
hope it helps

In which order does the query's where clause condition is checked

Hi All,
can anyone tell me in which order does oracle evaluate the where clause condition?
for ex: select * from users where user_type='Admin' and stauts='Enabled'

user9981103 wrote:
The conditions in the WHERE clause are checked in the reverse order of the given order.
i.e; first it will check stauts='Enabled'* and then user_type='Admin'* for your given queryWhy do you believe that?
If there is a sufficiently selective b-tree index on USER_TYPE, the optimizer would undoubtedly use that index to process the USER_TYPE = 'Admin' condition and then check the STATUS column.
If there is a sufficiently selective b-tree index on STATUS, the optimizer would undoubtedly use that index to process the STATUS='Enabled' condition and then check the USER_TYPE column.
If there is a composite b-tree index on (STATUS, USER_TYPE), the optimizer would use that index to process the two conditions nearly simultaneously, though technically the leading column of the index is evaluated first. Of course, if you reverse the order of columns in the index, you get a different evaluation order
If there are bitmap indexes on STATUS and USER_TYPE, Oracle can combine the two indexes and evaluate the two conditions simultaneously.
And that is leaving out tons of query plan options and other optimizer wrinkles.
Justin

The condition you are adding has caused the query to be invalid.

I select a column from the structure query: DATA_SET_ID [RDF_STATEMENT]
I enter a condition: = :P_RSTA_RDSE_ID. (This refers to a hidden field on the page. I have confirmed that the correct value is passed.)
I click on 'apply changes' and the page returns:
1 error has occurred
* The condition you are adding has caused the query to be invalid.
Previewing the condition gives: (("RDF_STATEMENT"."DATA_SET_ID" = :P_RSTA_RDSE_ID)) which looks fine.
I've tried a literal - (("RDF_STATEMENT"."DATA_SET_ID" = 1)) - and get the same error.
I've tried converting to an unstructured query and get 'no data found' where the same query in SQL+ returns the desired rows.

Mak,
I will log this as a bug. You may have to recreate the report. Sorry about that.
