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.

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

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.

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.

All photos does not follow the stream

Seemingly only random pictures does not follow the photo stream from iphone to macbook - any clues how that can happen, or where I start the troubleshooting..?

..and a little bit more specific:
I noticed that some photos in the iPhone photo album doesn´t appear in the photo stream. I cannot find a continous error in this behaviour: this summer I noticed that every other picture was missing in the stream, but just from one weekend. Last weekend just ONE picture in the album was missing in the stream.
It´s really odd, wouldn´t you say?
I haven´t really made full follow-up during the autumn, since I hoped this phenomena would "disappear" along with the continous upgrading of iPhone, Macbook, iPhoto etc. So, it must be the Cloud that behaves strangely...?
The one picture from last weekend was imported to iPhoto when connecting iPhone and macbook "by cord" along with the videos,
The thing with the iCloud photo stream shod be that you wouldnt have to keep track of your photos by counting them or relying on cord connection, right?
Any ideas, anyone?

I have consolidate my folders related to the video I am in the progress of working on. Premiere elements does not follow their new location. How do I syn them back up all at once so premiere doesn't ask me for their location when I open the project

This is the Photoshop Elements forum, not the Premiere Elements forum, located here:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
When you open the project, it should ask you where the first file is located. After you tell it where it is, it should be able to find the rest of them if they are located near the first one. Then save the file. If you move the files again, you will have to relink them again.

Report Does Not Follow Select Column Order

Hi all,
Apex 2.2 on 10gXE
I always encounter this problem, the display column on report does not follow the select column sequence order in the "region source".
It is very tedious clicking the up/down arrow one-by-one in the "report attributes" especially if the display columns are plenty like 40 columns.
Is there a fix/patch or alternative tips for this bug?
Thanks a lot,

This is not a bug. APEX maintains the original column order of the report. This avoids problems downstream in areas like the processing of <tt>g_fnn</tt> arrays in declarative tabular forms, where the assigned arrays are column-order dependent.
APEX 4.x fixes column ordering bugs that could lead to report corruption, and includes drag-and-drop column ordering in the new tree view in addition to the up/down arrow re-ordering.
If you really want column order to follow that in the source query, the workaround is to create a new report using the modified query.

Process does not follow the routing ends up in complete status

Installed Adobe LiveCycle server ES 2.5 with SQL Server 2008 as database
And followed the tutorial ‘Create Your First LiveCycle Application’
Deployed it on the server when I test the same
i.e. when the workspace user fills in form details and hits complete button it ends up as status complete
And not assigned to next user in the route
The process does not follow the routing it ends up in complete status
And nothing shows up when trying to record and play back the process
Tried invoking Via workbench too
no errors in the server log
Could this be an installation issue any pointers appreciated
Please advise

Issue with Jboss as it was taking longtime time to start due to low CPU ideally it should not take more than 3 to 5 minutes
Process works now

VO does not follow anchor link

I find it strange that VocieOver in Mac OS X (10.5.8) does not follow anchor links. The W3C specification documents and Wikipedia use them a lot; however the VoiceOver box does not follow the link while Safri jumps to that part of the page.
Is this a miss configuration at my part or has it been designed that way?
Thanks

Hi there
Your description seems to imply you are narrating at the same time as you are recording. This isn't best practice. Your best results will be obtained by adding the audio as a separate activity after you have recorded the screen action.
Often in a web recording we notice what is perceived as a mismatch. Often you end up with blank slides. This is because Captivate is running on your local PC (and running very quickly). But when you click a link to a web page, what really happens is that you send a command from your PC across the internet to a Web Server. The Web Server has to process that command, look up the desired page, send the page across the internet to your PC and it finally displays. While it may seem that it happens swiftly, compared to Captivate running on the PC it takes eons.
Cheers... Rick
