Count function on months column gives wrong result

Hi,
I am on OBIEE 11.1.1.7.150120.
I used the count function on the month column and rather than getting 12 as the answer i get 365. (i used a filter on the year column to restrict it to one year)
How could this happen?
Any help would be appreciated.

I was able to get the answer as 12 on the month column in the Dim_Time using the count distinct.
The main reason i was trying this is because i have a VALUE column in VIew_A. I am trying to sum the values of these, but when i use the sum function, the output is quite huge and wrong. I dosen't match with the monthly figures.
For eg:
Month
Income Cost
JAN
186.96
FEB
309.29
MAR
246.82
APR
247.95
998.76
1,462.74
MAY
160.27
645.60
1,643.84

172.19
693.61
927.12
JUL
150.27
605.32
855.89
AUG
133.61
483.66
538.20
789.22
SEP
144.56
412.42
582.34
824.84
OCT
264.96
315.66
364.00
631.32
1,067.32
1,466.22
NOV
240.39
832.10
968.32
1,058.73
1,638.38
DEC
215.81
857.30
869.31
24005.34
But if i use the sum function on the Income/cost column, the value i get is
C_MONTH
SUM(INCOME_COST)
JAN
5,795.86
FEB
8,660.21
MAR
7,651.52
APR
81,283.62
MAY
75,941.13
JUN
53,787.67
JUL
49,955.96
AUG
60,285.39
SEP
58,924.80
OCT
127,394.01
NOV
142,137.76
DEC
60,215.18
This just doesn't work out. I need the answer to be 24005 by using the sum function

This is a bug. Got to be a bug.
This should be nothing to do with indeterminate results from ROWNUM, and nothing to do with read consistency at the point of statement start time in session2., surely.
Session 2 should never return 100101 once the lock from session 1 is released.
The SELECT FOR UPDATE should restart and 100101 should not be selected as it does not meet the criteria of the select.
A statement restart should ensure this.
A number of demos highlight this.
Firstly, recall the original observation in the original test case.

Session2>Proves nothing, Non-deterministic ROWNUM you say.
Then let's reset, recreate the index and explicity ask then for row 100101.
It should give the same result as the ROWNUM query without any doubts over the ROWNUM, etc.
If the original behaviour was correct, session 2 should also be able to get 100101:
Session1>SELECT taxid
2 FROM   taxids
3 WHERE locationid    = 111
4 AND    NVL(STATUS,0) = 0

--> so session 2 stops being blocked and:
Session2>SELECT taxid
2 FROM   taxids
3 WHERE locationid    = 111
4 AND    NVL(STATUS,0) = 0
5 AND    taxid         = 100101
6 FOR UPDATE;
no rows selected
Session2>Of course, this is how it should happen, surely?
Just to double check, let's reintroduce ROWNUM but force the order by to show it's not about read consistency at the start of the statement - restart should prevent it.
(reset, then)
Session1> select t.taxid

0CRM_OPPT_H (Transaction RSA3 gives wrong result)

Hi gurus,
0CRM_OPPT_H (Transaction RSA3 gives wrong result)
BBPCRM 4.0
BW 3.50 version
I had enhanced the structure "crmt_bw_oppt_h"
and also written a BADI to populate Opportunity header status.
But when I run extract checker RSA3 for CRM data,
I get wrong number of records.
I am having 95 records for Opportunities header data.
Data Records / Call = "100"
Display Extr. Calls = "10"
Above settings, I am retrieving only 61 records.
Data Records / Call = "1"
Display Extr. Calls = "200"
For the above settings in RSA3,
I am able to retrieve 95 records correctly.
The problem is that in RSA1 transaction of BW 3.50 server also,
61 records are being loaded from CRM server.
Could this be a Cache memory problem,
Are any of my BASIS settings a cause for this problem?
Any help is really appreciated and will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Aby Jacob
========

Dear Friends,
I had to do a small correction in my BADI code.
I got a solution from Online SAP HELP portal.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/eb/3e7cf4940e11d295df0000e82de14a/frameset.htm
Notes on BADI Usage
====================
The instance generated through the factory method should be declared
as globally as possible or generally be passed as a parameter
to ensure that the initialization process must be run as rarely as possible
just once would be best. In no case should you discard the instance as soon as
it is generated or repeatedly run the initialization process in a loop.
Within the adapter class interface,
required database accesses are buffered locally,
so that each access is executed once only.
However, repeated initialization makes
the buffer useless and dramatically reduces performance.
Due to the local buffering, you can call Business-Add-In methods
without having to expect considerable performance restrictions,
even if no active implementations exist.
Also, if the definition of the Business-Add-In is filter-dependent,
a single instance is sufficient.
However, you should not do without initialization altogether.
Even if you could call static methods of the implementing
class of the Business-Add-In implementation without an instance,
you would lose the benefit of performance improvement through
the Business-Add-Ins and the possibility of multiple use.
If you switch the method type in the interface from the static method
to the instance method at any time in the future,
many code adjustments are required.
In addition, you can no longer use default code that is provided.
Many Thanks to ROBIN

Is it possible to multiply the result of a count function by another column

Hello,
I need to generate an invoice for the amount of nursery sessions a given child has attended. I can get the amount of sessions using this query:
select COUNT(s.session_id), cr.child_id
from sessions s, child_register cr
where s.session_id = cr.session_id
and cr.child_id = 'C110001'
group by cr.child_id;
Which outputs:
2 C110001
I can't figure out how to multiply the result of COUNT(s.session_id) by a row in the session table called srate (which is a number, 20)
Here are my attempts:
select COUNT(s.session_id) * s.rate, cr.child_id
from sessions s, child_register cr
where s.session_id = cr.session_id
and cr.child_id = 'C110001'
group by cr.child_id;
I get an error 'Not a group by expression which makes sense
Then I tried:
select COUNT(s.session_id) * s.rate AS total, cr.child_id
from sessions s, child_register cr
where s.session_id = cr.session_id
and cr.child_id = 'C110001'
group by total;
Error 'total' not a valid identifier, Wrapping the COUNT(s.session_id) * s.rate in parentheses gives me the same error.
I'm sure it's something blatantly obvious :(
Any help very much appreciated as always,
Mike

Why don't you head over to the SQL & PL/SQL forum here...
PL/SQL
Expect to be asked to provide create table and inserts with sample data though, as well as to wrap your code in {noformat}{noformat} tags to make it more readable and preserve formatting!

Help:Using Order by for a date column fetching wrong results

Hi all,
In my table I am having a date column which is having values
13/06/2007 09:24:00
31/05/2007 10:30:00
I am selecting this column with some other columns using order by at the end by giving the date column.
But I am getting rows in reverse order like above. I am using to_char(start_time,'dd/mm/yyyy hh:24mi:ss') in the select.
If I give to_date(start_time) in the order by the values are fetching correclty.But I was not allowed to use to_char in the select statement.
Kindly suggest me where it went wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Hi , Thanks for the update. Actually that column was an Oracle DATE type. Earlier I gave simply that column name alone in the order by clause. That is getting falied only if the 2 entries falls in different months. Otherwise that is perfect.
So I gave to_date in the order by. But now I am facing a problem in the selecing that column.

Bug in 10.2.0.3.0 - sum gives wrong result?

Hi,
I've found a strange behavior when using sum without group by. Firs I thought it's hash group by, but it's supposed to be fixed in 10.2.0.3, and setting GBYHASH_AGGREGATION_ENABLED=FALSE also didn't fix the error.
We have automated tests to verify our results of views and procedures. The test works on a small subset of data, so it uses the following (pseudo) select to calcuate the expected value:
select
sum(round(trw.a* rc.b,2))
into
tmp_result
from
trw
inner join rc on rc.cp_id= trw.cp_id and rc.r_id= trw.r_id and rc.pc_id=param_pc_id
where
trw.t_id= test_t_id;
Now, this select returns a value that's a little bit different than a value we get from the view we are testing.
The view is basically the same, it has a group by trw.t_id and some simple logic.
The interesting part is this:
if I dump "un-summarized" data from the view and the select statement into temporary tables, i get the same rows, and sum over those rows gives the right value.
Either I've missed something obvious or it truly is a bug. Any ideas?
Regards
Jernej

OMG, my bad, I'm sorry.
That's what happens when you test sysdate dependent results.
Sorry again

Getting count function to return 0 if no results found

I'm trying to determine the count of how many records exist that match a certain criteria. The problem is that instead of getting a row with a value of 0 when no results match, I get no row at all. This is causing me a problem because I need to know when it's zero as well as non-zero.
Here's an example query:
select submissions.job_id, count(submissions.job_id) from submissions where submissions.job_id in (select jobs.job_id from jobs where jobs.parent_id = 53) group by job_id
I'm trying to get the number of submissions for each job with a parent_id of 53. The problem is that if a job has no submissions, I don't even get the job_id back to report that it has 0 submission.
I'm using Oracle 8.1.6.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Rich

I tried your suggested query and it has the same problem. If there are any jobs that don't have submissions related to them, that job_id is not returned in the list.
Here's what the query returned:
job_id count()
523     2
527     2
645     1
653     1
816     1
820     1
824     1
It's missing job_id 1029 which has a parent_id of 53 but has no submissions.
I'd like something like the following returned:
job_id count()
523     2
527     2
645     1
653     1
816     1
820     1
824     1
1029 0

GetFloatProperty gives wrong result for values out of range

Hi
When the method setFloatProperty is called by setting the float values out of the range,then calling getFloatProperty does not give NumberFormatException.
Float value set more the MAX_VALUE of float returns infinity when getFloatProperty is called.Similar problem occurs with setDoubleProperty.This behavior is confusing.can anyone help me out.
Regards
saroj13

Throwing a NumberFormatException would never make sense in this situation. The exception indicates that you are trying to convert a String to a number, but the String does not contain a valid number. eg. "as3"; when a conversion was attemted would throw a NumberFormatException.
Floats and Doubles in Java comply with the IEEE 754 standard which mandates the behaviour of the types.
Could you explain why you find this confusing?
Hope this helps.

SPField.Hidden gives wrong result

This code returns fields that are hidden in the list settings page. Why is that?
var fields = from SPField field in list.Fields
where field.Type == SPFieldType.User && !field.Hidden
select field;

Yes I had the setting for 'Update all content types inheriting from this type? ' set to yes in the content type advanced settings. As I stated in the post above where I came
up with a solution: using the list.ContentTypes and then the contenttype.fields to loop through the fields the Contact field there is actually hidden. But looping through the list.Fields the Contact field is not hidden. So yes my Content Type did get pushed
down from the site content type to each of the pages libraries in each of my sub webs. But NO it does not also affect the field in list object. This can be seen both when debugging my code and also simply by using SharePoint Manager 2013.
In SP Manager if I go to Sites\mysite\allwebs\subweb\lists\pages\fields
then click the Contact item, Hidden = False
If I go to Sites\mysite\allwebs\subweb\lists\pages\ContentTypes\MyContentType\fields
then click the Contact item, Hidden = True
The solution appears to be to use the list.ContentTypes to get the field rather than list.fields. This works the way I want.

Search string-1 in string-2 gives wrong results.

Hi,
I am searching for the string 'COM' in the sentence
below.
I am getting the string positons of string "COM"
as 1 and 16.
It Should be 1 and 19.
thanks
sharath
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
str VARCHAR2(200):='COM-1 Hello world COM-1 speaking';
pos NUMBER ;
ps NUMBER :=0 ;
srch VARCHAR2(20) :='COM' ;
BEGIN
While( ps <= length(str))
Loop
pos := instr(str,srch);
If pos > 0 then -- found string COM
str := substr(str,pos + length(srch));
dbms_output.put_line('COM found in pos ==> ' || pos );
End If;
ps := ps + 1;
END LOOP;
END;

I believe the problem is that you are redefining the variable str within your loop. Once you find the first occurrence of "COM" in the string, you modify the string to remove that occurrence and then search again. The logic of your stored procedure is
Loop 1:
str = "COM-1 Hello world COM-1 speaking"
- first occurrence of COM is at position 1
Loop 2:
str = "-1 Hello world COM-1 speaking"
- first occurrence of COM is at position 16 in this new string
Since you are removing the first three characters of the string when you call substr at the beginning of the second loop, you're looking for the position of "COM" in a slightly different string the second time around, hence the confusion.
If you want to find the position in the original string, you'd want something like
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE findOccurrence( string IN varchar2, search IN varchar2, offset IN number)
AS
currentPosition NUMBER;
BEGIN
currentPosition := INSTR( string, search );
IF( currentPosition > 0 )
THEN
 dbms_output.put_line( 'Search string found at position ==> ' || to_char(currentPosition+offset));
 findOccurrence( substr( string, currentPosition+length(search) ),
 search,
 currentPosition+length(search)+offset-1 );
END IF;
END;
scott@jcave > exec findOccurrence( 'COM COM COM', 'COM', 0 );
Search string found at position ==> 1
Search string found at position ==> 5
Search string found at position ==> 9

SQL Server 2012 Time(7) DataType values Comparison giving wrong result. Please help

We have a Table with StartTime and EndTime columns in Time(7) datatype, so we want to count the rows for each hour from 6 AM to 5 AM. If a record in table is as StartTime= 7 PM to EndTime = 5 AM (a shift of an employee) then the result is wrong beacause
being time(7) datatype the EndTime(5AM)< StartTime(7PM) in 24 hours format so following query gives wrong results.
select
* from EmpSchedule
where (StartTime>='19:00:00.0000000'
OR EndTime>='19:00:00.0000000')

Math function ' ' on Date columns is showing incorrect results. Pls xplain!

Hi guys,
I'm having a query wherein two date columns are used. One holds just the date part and the other date+time.
Columns are: - processing_date (holds on date)
authorised_ts (holds date+time)
The query is : -
SELECT a.processing_date,a.authorised_ts,
SUBSTR(a.processing_date,1,9),SUBSTR(a.authorised_ts,1,9)
FROM TEBINS01 a WHERE a.ref_instty_code = 'BULK'
AND a.status_code = 'PPAY'
AND SUBSTR(a.processing_date,1,9) < SUBSTR(a.authorised_ts,1,9)
I know that the substr function is creating the problem as it is converting the columns into characters.
*****The results show that 22-NOV-04 is greater than 12-JAN-05****
I've tried to use the below query to convert the above 2 dates into number(using to_number) via: -
SELECT TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR('22-NOV-04', LENGTH(RTRIM('22-NOV-04','1234567890'))-LENGTH('22-NOV-04'))) FROM dual
The result is 4
and when I use the above query for 12-JAN-05 the result is 5.
So even when I convert to number 5 is definitely greater than 4. But how and why is the substr function in the original query giving the wrong results?
Thanks in advance guys

As David points out, if the two columns are stored as dates, then you do not need to convert them at all to compare them. The only possible issue may be the fact that processing_date has no time component and authorised_ts has a time component.
Given the following:
SQL> DESC t;
Name Null? Type
ID NUMBER
PROCESSING_DATE DATE
AUTHORISED_TS DATE
SQL> SELECT * FROM t;
 ID PROCESSING_DATE AUTHORISED_TS

 10 11-Aug-2005 00:00:00 07-Aug-2005 14:51:53You obvioulsy would want id's 2, 4, 6, and 9, but what about 8? The two dates are on the same day. If you only want to consider cases where the day is less (i.e. exclude id 8) then you should query:
SQL> SELECT * FROM t
2 WHERE processing_date < TRUNC(authorised_ts);
 ID PROCESSING_DATE AUTHORISED_TS
 2 06-Aug-2005 00:00:00 11-Aug-2005 07:44:42
 4 08-Aug-2005 00:00:00 09-Aug-2005 11:45:59

 9 05-Aug-2005 00:00:00 08-Aug-2005 11:29:47However, if you hink that id 8 should be included then it is simply:
SQL> SELECT * FROM t
2 WHERE processing_date < authorised_ts;
 ID PROCESSING_DATE AUTHORISED_TS
 2 06-Aug-2005 00:00:00 11-Aug-2005 07:44:42

 9 05-Aug-2005 00:00:00 08-Aug-2005 11:29:47Note that the comparision does not depend on the display format of the date:
