Converting Decimal to Interger value in a Column

Hi Folks,
We have a requirement with column name as Customers having two calculated column values with total and % of Customers in pivot table view.
Total Number of Customers % of Customers
Customers: 500.00 34.44
So my question is, how to remove decimal and impose integer value on Total Number of Customers at the same time retaining decimal for % of Customers.
Regards,
Vj

The final result of our report is based on the union of two reports and the resultant report has a coulmn which two values one of total no. of cust and other a calculated column value with Cust %.
Total Number of Customers % of Customers
Customers: 500.00 34.44
So my question is, how to remove decimal and impose integer value on Total Number of Customers at the same time retaining decimal for % of Customers.
Regards,
Vj

Hi,
I have following questions for you.
1) I need to display a decimal value in a column of table in smartform. I am able to do so, if the value is 23.38 its coming fine, but if the value is 23.00 it is coming like 23. can i do somethin so that i can display it like 23.00.

How to display integer values and decimal values in same column in a table

hi
in my report amount column is there in that column integer values (2234) and decimal values (3562.34)
i want to print this values as 1000 separate as like 2,234 as integer and 3,562.34 as decimal
but this values print like 2,234.00 as integer and 3,562.34 as decimal

Hi akilreddy,
Per my understanding you have an field which data type may be "float" in the DB, so it have value which format like "2234" and "3562.34" in the same column, now you want to format them differently in the report, right?
I have tested on my local environement and you can use the expression in the custom format in the Textbox properties to do this:
Right click the field which you want to add the format and select the "Text Box Properties"
Select the "Number" on the left pane and using expression below in the Custom format:
=IIF(Split(Fields!yourfieldname.Value,".").Length=2,"#,###.##",Nothing)
Or you can just use "#,###.##" in the format.
Preview you will go the result like below:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

How to set 0 for "Nan" Value in the Column

Hi All,
I have 3 imp columns with name Build %,Deploy%,Validation % and I would like to set the value as "0" or "1" using formula and below is the formula . But I am getting the values as "Nan" due to that it's reflecting the
Pivot Table & Report which show in below 2nd image.
And I had written formula as "=SWITCH(EDSCIMonthlyReport[Build %] , "Nan", 0)" to copy all the values of the Build % Field to another calculated Column and set the value "0" if found "Nan" ,But I am getting
error as"Function 'SWITCH' attempted to compare values of incompatible types. Ensure that both values are Numeric, String, or Boolean(True/False). Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values".Can any one help me how can
I solve this issue
Thanks,
Sid

Hello Sid,
Again TFS? The data type of the column is "text" and now you want to convert it to a numeric to use it as a measure, right?
- First you have to change "NaN" to "0" (<= 0 as type "Text"!, see your error msg); you can do it with an IF expression
- Then you have to remove the % sign; it's a text as well. For this you can use the SUBSTITUE function
- Then you can convert it to a numeric using the VALUE function
As one complete expression it will look like this:
= VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(If(Tabelle3[Build] = "NaN"; "0"; Tabelle3[Build]); "%"; ""))
As you can see in below screenshot PowerPivot automatically detects the data type as "Decimal"; now you can use it as a measure value.

Find duplication values from multiple columns in a big table

Hi All,
I am working on a 11gR2 database in linux. i want to display record that have duplicate values in 2 columns.
1. Table Structure :-
CREATE TABLE A
ID NUMBER(10),
F_NAME VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
L_NAME VARCHAR2(100 BYTE)
2. Sample Data:-
Insert into A
(ID, F_NAME, L_NAME) Values (1,'TONY' ,'SUMIT');
Insert into A
(ID, F_NAME, L_NAME) Values (2,'SUMIT' ,'KEITH');
Insert into A
(ID, F_NAME, L_NAME) Values (3,'NORA','SMITH');
Insert into A
(ID, F_NAME, L_NAME) Values (4,'APRIL','TONY');
Insert into A
(ID, F_NAME, L_NAME) Values (5,'ROSS','TAM');
ID F_NAME L_NAME
1 TONY SUMIT
2 SUMIT KEITH
3 NORA SMITH
4 APRIL TONY
5 ROSS TAM
4. My requirement is i need display IDs that it's F_NAME or L_NAME has duplication in F_NAME or L_NAME columns.
The result should be
ID
1 reason: F_NAME (TONY) equals to L_NAME of record 4, L_NAME (SUMIT) equals to F_NAME of record 2
2 reason: F_NAME (SUMIT) equals to L_NAME of record 1
4 reason: L_NAME (TONY) equals to F_NAME of record 1
record 3, 5 aren't in the result because there is no duplication in F_NAME or L_NAME columns for NORA,SMITH, ROSS, TAM
The table contains 10 million records, i really need to consider the performance.
kindly suggest me the solution

Note: Forum members please suggest better approach to this -- below.. convert into SQL :)
I know I will be opposed by many people in this forum for posting such in-efficient solution.
But trying to learn along with you.. its an interesting problem which must deal with all rows vs all rows to get all combinations.
But I am still thinking how to write it in SQL, probably will learn from this post after we receive some good SQL solution for the code what I am currently doing now.
step 1: created a table B similar to table A and added a column reason
CREATE TABLE B
ID      NUMBER(10),
F_NAME VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
L_NAME VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
REASON VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE) --- ADDED THIS

How to get the number of decimal places configured for a site column

Hi,
I have a column 'SampleNumCol' of type Number, the number of decimal places to be displayed is configured as 2.
The column conatins a value, but when retrieved programatically is displayed as 5.00000000 instead of 5.00.
I am retrieving this column using listitem.Properties[field.InternalName].
I need to trim the decimals based on number of decimal places configured for the site column.
How to get the number of decimal places configured for a site column?
Thanks in advance,

Get the field as SPFieldNumber and then check DisplayFormat which returns
SPNumberFormatTypes
SPFieldNumber numberField = list.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("YourNumberFieldName") as SPFieldNumber;
SPNumberFormatTypes numFormatType = numberField.DisplayFormat;

Read From Measurement File... removes X Values of first column?

During one of our tests, two instruments were switched at the terminal by accident. I need to read in the massive lvm files, remove the wrong scaling and apply the correct scaling, while switching the values in the columns and right it all to new files. Simple right?
I wanted to use the Read from Measurement File.vi to make things easier, because the files are very large and I would like to analyze them 100 rows at a time. Some of the the files are around 1.5 Gigs in size so I need to read them in chunks.
The read from measurement file keeps removing the first column from the data! It outputs the data as a signal (dynamic data) and I have to use the dynamic to numeric array express vi. For some reason, before I even get to that point, the first column is not in the data.
No matter what settings I pick on the read from measurement express vi, the time column is removed from the data. I have checked/unchecked the "first row is channel names" and "first column is time channel" to no avail. The odd thing is that in the preview it shows the first column, as if it will read it properly... but it doesnt. Nothing I change in the settings can seems to make a difference in getting the first column, the x values, out of the file.
Below you can see the first column completely removed from the data.
This is extremely frustrating. By probing the signal out I can see the dynamic data attributes and the time column has already been removed, so I don't think that the signal to double array express vi is the problem, but I am not sure.
I am attaching my VI and a small data file to be analyzed. You can see what I mean.
The alternatives seem less than adequate. The read from spreadsheet file vi wants an offset of a specific number of characters not rows. The problem is that this is not constant between rows for some reason, when hidden characters are taken into account so I cant just set the number of characters in 100 rows and increment the offset in a loop... like I normally would. That means I might miss data or get a corrupted row.
This means that I have to use the read from text file, read how ever many characters I think a row is (over estimating a bit) then search for the newline character, find out how many chars are in that set and then offset that for the next loop iteration, all while converting each string number to a double. Talk about slow.
I have searched around and found that I am not the only one that has had this issue. This is a common thing, but no one seems to have the answer. Why can't the read from measurement file VI read all of the numbers in every row? Why cant I tell it I want a 2d array of doubles out and not a dynamic data type? It has to be something I am doing wrong.
Attached is a zip file with my VI and two data files. The "S19_A_DSI_detensioning_c.lvm" is the one generated by my VI (_c meaning corrected). "S19_A_DSI_detensioning.lvm" is the original measurement file. I hope you will pardon my messy VI, it's a quicky.
Any help you guys can give would be much appreciated.

Scaling Factor Correction.zip ‏1109 KB

That is a great workaround. The help talked about putting a check next to "read lines" but for the life of me I couldn't find where to do that. I wonder what other VIs have mystery check options in the right mouse click menu. I mean normally options like those are inputs, I thought. I'm going to start right clicking on every VI I drop to see if there are options there I never realized.
I would still have to use the set file position VI and specify the byte offset right? How would I know where that is? I guess each character is a byte and I would count the characters in the string retrieved and then offset by that amount on the next iteration using a shift register?
While waiting for help, I ended up using the read from text file and using the match string to look for the new line character, and using the spreadsheet string to array vi, analyzed the files line by line. Thats just because I couldn't easily come up with a regular expression to get 100 lines. It was slow but it worked.
However, that still really doesn't answer the question of why it is impossible to get the first column with the read from measurement file express VI. Does anyone know? Is this a known bug?

How can I define that the value of a column should always be in UPPER case

Hi,
I want to make sure that the value in a column is always in UPPER case.
Can we give this condition while creating or altering a table.
A trigger can do it easily, but I was wondering if we could define a column to have values with upper case all the time, independent of what values are inserted. I mean if we give a lower case value in the insert statement, it should be converted automatically to upper case & stored.
I want something like
Alter table MY_TABLE Modify ( col1_upper varchar2(25) default UPPER(Col1_upper));
But the above statement does not work as it references the col of the table.
Thanks
Sunil

Well, you can put a check constraint on to prevent someone from putting lowercase data in:
alter table my_table add constraint my_table_check_upper check (col1_upper = upper(col1_upper));However, I know of no way to modify the data being inserted/updated in a table without a trigger.

How to convert decimal notation to comma notation

Hi Folks,
I have an issue in converting decimal notation to comma notation for France.
I have changed the decimal notation in SU01 from 123.4 to 123,4 but when i run some custom program written by me it is extracting output as 123.4 than 123,4.
So i want to have the output of report to conver all numerical values(from decimal format to comma format) i.e., 123,4 format from the 123.4 format.
Please help me in fixing this issue
Edited by: Nishanth Kumar Reddy Chenchu on Apr 24, 2008 1:16 PM

Hi Nishant,
U can use the statement WRITE TO. This will write the data as per the user settings. When ever user changes his settings like decimal notations then this statement will write the data as per the current settings of the user.
DATA: l_amount1 TYPE wrbtr VALUE '123.45',
l_amount(16) TYPE c.
WRITE:/1 l_amount1.
WRITE l_amount1 TO l_amount.
WRITE:/1 l_amount.
Just copy paste above code in a sample program. First execute this program and note the output. Then change the user settings for decimal notations and log of from SAP(Because user settings will become active only after fresh login). Now execute ur report and see the difference. In this way u no need to change the program when ever user changes his settings.
This thing not pnly applies for amount but also for date, time Quantity fields
Thanks,
Vinod

Hi,
After you get the resultset from DatabaseMetaData.getColumns() as shown by sudha_mp you can use the following columns names to retrieve metadata information:
Each column description has the following columns:
TABLE_CAT String => table catalog (may be null)
TABLE_SCHEM String => table schema (may be null)
TABLE_NAME String => table name
COLUMN_NAME String => column name
DATA_TYPE int => SQL type from java.sql.Types
TYPE_NAME String => Data source dependent type name, for a UDT the type name is fully qualified
COLUMN_SIZE int => column size. For char or date types this is the maximum number of characters, for numeric or decimal types this is precision.
BUFFER_LENGTH is not used.
DECIMAL_DIGITS int => the number of fractional digits
NUM_PREC_RADIX int => Radix (typically either 10 or 2)
NULLABLE int => is NULL allowed.
columnNoNulls - might not allow NULL values
columnNullable - definitely allows NULL values
columnNullableUnknown - nullability unknown
REMARKS String => comment describing column (may be null)
COLUMN_DEF String => default value (may be null)
SQL_DATA_TYPE int => unused
SQL_DATETIME_SUB int => unused
CHAR_OCTET_LENGTH int => for char types the maximum number of bytes in the column
ORDINAL_POSITION int => index of column in table (starting at 1)
IS_NULLABLE String => "NO" means column definitely does not allow NULL values; "YES" means the column might allow NULL values. An empty string means nobody knows.
SCOPE_CATLOG String => catalog of table that is the scope of a reference attribute (null if DATA_TYPE isn't REF)
SCOPE_SCHEMA String => schema of table that is the scope of a reference attribute (null if the DATA_TYPE isn't REF)
SCOPE_TABLE String => table name that this the scope of a reference attribure (null if the DATA_TYPE isn't REF)
SOURCE_DATA_TYPE short => source type of a distinct type or user-generated Ref type, SQL type from java.sql.Types (null if DATA_TYPE isn't DISTINCT or user-generated REF)

How to retrieve value of one column to other in Apex using Javascript

Hi all,
Can any one help me in solving this problem.
How to send a value from one column to another column using javascript in Apex. I heard that we can use onChange().
My requirement is,
I have a column(Varchar2) in form where i need to enter a value and the data need to be sent to another column(Number) when i press apply changes.
ex: if i enter a value say 1/3 or 1/4 or 1/3*1/6

Retrieving multiple values from one column in SELECT statement

Hi,
I have a slight dilemma in that I'm trying to pull down all the values from a column from a select statement that includes some JOINS in it.
If I run the query at the SQL Plus prompt, it pulls back all the values/rows.
When I run the select (and prepared ) statement in my JSP, it only pulls back one of the 4 values I'm trying to retrieve.
e.g.
at the DB level :
SELECT role_name, CC_ID FROM votetbl a
INNER JOIN APPROVERS b ON
a.BUSVP = b.BUSVP AND
a.BRANCH = b.BRANCH
WHERE CC_ID = 1688this will return:
ROLE_NAME CC_ID
ops 1688
ops 1688
comply 1688
legal 1688
comply 1688
When run in my JSP, like so:
String primID3a = request.getParameter("primID");
Statement stmtovoter = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
String prepvotSQL = "SELECT role_name, CC_ID FROM votetbl a INNER JOIN APPROVERS b ON a.BUSVP = b.BUSVP AND " +
"a.BRANCH = b.BRANCH WHERE CC_ID = ?";
PreparedStatement prepvotstmt = connection.prepareStatement(prepvotSQL);
prepvotstmt.setString(1, primID3a);
ResultSet rest3 = prepvotstmt.executeQuery();
rest3.next();
String votecat = rest3.getString(1);
out.println("Vote category: "+votecat);I only get ops returned.
Do I need to run an enumerator? Or reqest.getParameterValues or use a while statement around the results set?
Any feedback and direction here is welcomed!
Thanks!

Actually, I tried looping and still only get 1, but returned several times.
i.e.
PreparedStatement prepvotstmt = connection.prepareStatement(prepvotSQL);
prepvotstmt.setString(1, primID3a);
ResultSet rest3 = prepvotstmt.executeQuery();
rest3.next();
String votecat = rest3.getString(1);
while (rest3.next()) {
out.print("category roles "+votecat);
}then I get returned the following:
admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admin
like so.
Where as at the DB level I get
ROLE_NAME CC_ID
admin 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
risk 1688
comply 1688
legal 1688
legal 1688
ops 1688
comply 1688
Maybe the while should go around the getString(1) designation? But I was thinking I'd tried that and gotten invalid cursor error
Something is definitely amiss, between the prepared statement in the servlet and the SELECT statement at the DB level.
I can totally hardcode the statement in the servlet or JSP and it will return one value potentially several times, but only one.
Other times, it will not return a value at all, even though one resides in the db.
Yet go to the DB/SQL Plus prompt and it returns perfectly. I can simply copy and paste the SELECT statement from the out.print line I made and it works like a champ in SQL Plus. Any ideas why the same exact thing cannot return the proper values within the servlet/JSP?
Yeeeeeeesh!!! : (

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).
