Count Functionality in Reporting

Hi All,
I have region , market and Sales document No. Now the user want to see the total no of contracts, and he also wants that when we filters the query using region or market he wants the no of contracts with respective of tht market or region.how to achieve this functionality.
Thanks

Hi,
You can create a formula varibale with replacement path. The replacemenet characteristic will be contract and replace with Attribute value 1. And keep this formula variable in Coulmns. This gives the Count of Unique contracts.

Count( ) function in BIP Report

Hello,
Can someone please help me with my count( ) function in BIP reports? I have this code in my RTF template below that only count 1 per ssImageType
<?xdofx:if (ssStatus='Closed') and (ssGroup='EDS OPS') then count((/ssAction=/ssImageType))?><?end-if?>
The undesired result is coming up below:
Image Type A = 1
Image Type A = 1
Image Type A = 1
Image Type B = 1
Where we wanted it to come up as
Image Type A = 3
Image Type B = 1
Image Type C = 0
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

What is the item that you want to count? I don't understand what you are trying to do here: count((/ssAction=/ssImageType))?
If status is closed and ssGroup = EDS OPS, and ssAction = ssImageType, then you want to count the number of records?
If you want to, send me the rtf and xml file to [email protected] and I can take a look. Send me the exact specification..
Thanks,

XL Reporter and Count function

Hi,
Using XL Reporter to produce financial reporting and sales analysis reporting is great. It would be good to be able to use count functions as well for other data analysis (ie in Service modules) without having to drop out huge volumes of data from the database, hide it and use the Excel countif functions to analyse the data.
An example is to provide reporting on the number of service calls in a period analysed by Problem Types, by Item Groups, Top 10 customers by number of calls etc.
This is all good supporting reporting but it is resource hungry to produce using the existing methods.

Hi you all
Thats right, im doing like you: hiding lots of data... but it would be great to use a count function.
For example, i am doing a report where i need to count the number of invoices made for a sale of type a manufacturer brand.
If anyone have a solution, please share it.
Thanks

OBIEE: Incorrect SQL - with count function uses ORDER BY instead GROUP BY

I made a basic report that is a client count; I want to know how many clients the company have.
But, when I run this report, OBIEE generates a ORDER BY sentence, instead a GROUP BY. Remember that I'm using count function, that is a agregation.
The SQL generated was:
select 'N0' as c1,
count(*) as c2
from
(select distinct T1416.CLIENT_INTER_KEY as c1
from
(select *
from prd.D_SERVICE where SOURCE_SYS in ('ARBOR','PPB') and DW_SERV_ST_ID in (100000003,100000009)) T1836,
(select *
from prd.D_CLIENT) T1416,
(select *
from prd.D_CUSTOMER_ACCOUNT where SOURCE_SYS In ('ARBOR','PPB')) T1515
where ( T1416.DW_CLIENT_ID = T1515.DW_CLIENT_ID and T1515.DW_CUST_ACCT_ID = T1836.DW_CUST_ACCT_ID and T1836.MSISDN = '917330340' )
) D1
order by c1
The error that I receive is:
"Query Status: Query Failed: [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: -1005018 message: [Sybase][ODBC Driver][Adaptive Server Anywhere]Illegal ORDER BY item Order Item: 'N0',
-- (opt_OrderBy.cxx 429) .
[nQSError: 16011] ODBC error occurred while executing SQLExtendedFetch to retrieve the results of a SQL statement."
If I substitute ORDER BY with GROUP BY and test it in Sybase, Ithe query runs without any problem.
select 'N0' as c1,
count(*) as c2
from
(select distinct T1416.CLIENT_INTER_KEY as c1
from
(select *
from prd.D_SERVICE where SOURCE_SYS in ('ARBOR','PPB') and DW_SERV_ST_ID in (100000003,100000009)) T1836,
(select *
from prd.D_CLIENT) T1416,
(select *
from prd.D_CUSTOMER_ACCOUNT where SOURCE_SYS In ('ARBOR','PPB')) T1515
where ( T1416.DW_CLIENT_ID = T1515.DW_CLIENT_ID and T1515.DW_CUST_ACCT_ID = T1836.DW_CUST_ACCT_ID and T1836.MSISDN = '917330340' )
) D1
group by c1
Do you know why OBIEE generates this SQL??? Why uses, with a aggregation function, a ORDER BY and not a GROUP BY? How can I resolve this problem???

Susana Figueiredo

Verify your repository design and make sure that you have defined count aggregate on fact column. You would also need to define the content level of each dimension in fact table.

Sql count function in order by clause

Post Author: krypton
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi Guys
Can i ask a quick question. I am trying to retrieve data remotely from a SQL Server via crystal reports.
Within the Database Expert I have entered a SQL query to retrive the number of (call center) support calls raised by our customers:-
Select `Primary_Company`, COUNT(`Calls`)From `SPRT_Issue` GROUP BY `Primary_Company`ORDER BY COUNT(`Calls`) desc
The customer's column is called 'Primary Company' and the calls they raise are in the 'Calls' column. the above is a normal sql query.
However Crystal fails to run the query and generates an error message :-
Failed to open a rowset. Details: 420: Driver] Expected lexical element not found: <identifier>
I dont understand why it wont run. In the ORDER BY clause if i replace field 'Calls' by the field 'Primary Company' then it works.
I think the problem is that it wont accept the count function in the order by clause. which is what i want it to do i.e display the calls in descending order by each customer.
Could someone tell me if there is a way around it.
Thanks
Krypton

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Thanks Lynn
I tried your suggestion. But there is one probelm.
When i sort the data in descending order using the count(calls) field, the data is returned but the customer's name appears multiple times along with their calls raised.
E.g, if customer Mark raised multiple calls i.e. 2, 5, and 10 calls, then the report will show
Mark 2
Mark 5
Mark 10
But is there a way to aggregate all the calls for mark and show them only once:
such as Mark 17
Thanks

Distinct Count Function-how to use properly

Hello,
I am new to using forums & have only been using Crystal since May of 2009, so i hope i do this correctly & provide the appropriate information. i've looked for this answer in what's been posted but cannot find it. Some things i've read I don't really understand. I only know how to use the functions that are in the software, i don't know how to write them myself (i think that's when people have referred to SQL code or basic syntax)
I have CR Professional, version 11.0.0.1282 (Crystal Reports XI).
I work at a county health dept and we have a annual medicaid cost report, I am linking Crystal to our EMR billing module. i have my report sorted by insurance, ie medicaid, bcbs, abw, hpm etc. and within each ins group i have the clients ID, DOS (date of service), procedure code, charge amt, ins pmt & patient pmt. i have totaled the charges & pmts for each group-works fine. i even have been able to create the formula to adj out the duplicate entries in the billing module (a service was entered wrong then adjusted out then re-entered correctly-without my formula crystal was pulling both these records and adding them to total charges.)
Where my problem lies and what my question is: I need to count encounters, an encounter is the visit, but each visit could have 2 or more procedure codes. So this results in multiple lines on my report for one visit, which i want for the charges to add correctly, but it makes my visit count to high. So I read about the distinct count function, of which there are three listed & i'm having a hard time understanding the differences. What i tried is: a distinct count of the acct ID-so the same acct ID's are only counted the one time. But some clients see us more than once per year, meaning the acct ID is the same but the DOS is different. For this client that would be 2 visits. But crystal is counting this as 1.
Saying what i want to do is this: Count as 1 when the acct ID and DOS are the same. I've tried using the different distinct counts but when i check my formula it always has errors. So I'm sure my lack of knowledge is what's holding me up-i fully believe crystal can do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I create a dummy table, set up acc_id and DOS and Charge.
Created a running total
Summarized acc_id
Type of summary Count
Evaluated using a formula
<> previous ()
and reset on ACC_ID
My groups were sorted by acc_id and date
where there were multiple visits on the same DOS my count was 0
where the dos changed it would count accordingly.
You may need to use two Running totals to get the complete picture.

Count() function with selective criteria?

I'm struggling with what I would expect to be a fundamental reporting concept in CR.
Suppose I have the following EMPLOYEE table:
u2022 EMPLOYEE.ID
u2022 EMPLOYEE.GENDER_CODE
u2022 EMPLOYEE.MANAGER_FLAG
I need to generate a statistical summary report containing the following:
u2022 Total number of Employees
u2022 Number of Male Employees
u2022 Number of Management Employees
This would be easy if I could just use a Count() function in the Function Workshop which
contained selective criteria. For example: Count ({EMPLOYEE.GENDER_CODE} = 'M')
But I can't figure out how to do this without getting a CR error message.
Record Selection doesn't work, because I need the whole data set.
Group Selection with Summaries doesn't work, because the gender and management
attributes are not mutually exclusive.
One solution that seems awkward to me is to create additional SQL commands in the
Database Expert using COUNT(*) and WHERE criteria to get the number of Males
and number of Managers. But I have to believe that there is a better way. Plus this
approach causes problems elsewhere in my report.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Bill

Thanks Raghavendra!
The good news is that I was able to create a "1 or 0" formula and then sum the resulting values.
The bad news is that I'm only able to get this to work for part of my report.
I am joining two tables. As an example COMPANY and EMPLOYEE.
I can use "1 or 0" formulas on all of the employee statistics.
But I cannot do the same for company statistics, because the number of company records being assigned a 1 is being inflated by the join between the two tables.
I have achieved a successful result by using Running Total Fields at the end of the report.
But I want to place these summary statistics at the begining of my report. (Such as Total Companies in the Western Region.)
I tried to use "COMPANY.NAME = previous(COMPANY.NAME)" logic in my function, but then I was not allowed to summarize it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill

Count Function on Date Field in Discoverer

Hey folks,
How would someone like to educate a novice on how to perform a count function on a date field? I am writing a Discoverer report and have a requirement to display counts of the number of records that have a modified date of > 30 days and > 60 days. I am trying to use the 2nd count function as such: COUNT(modified_date < (SYSDATE - 30)). I keep getting the "error in function" message. I have tried it with CURRENT_DATE as well and get the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much,
Schuyler

Hi
You can't use logical expression in a function like this:
COUNT(modified_date < (SYSDATE - 30))
instead of this use CASE expression:
COUNT(case when modified_date < (SYSDATE - 30) then 1 else 0 end)

Long Running Count Function

I'm new to the Windows environment for running Oracle and I'm having some performance issues with a report that I'm reviewing....
I found that one of the tables being utilized by this report has 100,000,000 rows in it....When I run a SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T_FIELD, it takes 75 seconds to return the result....
Although this seems like a lot of data to simply count and return shouldn't take that long....In my experience on Unix environments, a similar request would take 3 - 4 seconds....
Is there a way to tell, if this is a performance issue with the box, Oracle configuration, or just not enough stuff in the box to properly power our Oracle environment with sufficient speed....
I've set up STATSPACK and run while executing this COUNT......And compared the report against the idle database.....But I'm not sure what it's telling me....
Here are some specifics about my environment.....
Server: Windows Server 2003 - Service Pack 1
Processor - Xeon 3.4 GHz(1)
Memory - 3.5 Gig
Disk - C:\ 67.8 Gig
D:\ Raid 5 - 838 Gig

SGA Environment
Shared Pool - 152 MB
Buffer Cache - 256 MB
Lagre Pool - 104 MB
Java Pool - 80 MB
SGA Max Size - 617.071 MB
Any help in determining why this COUNT function takes so long would be greatly appreciated....

> Although this seems like a lot of data to simply count and return shouldn't
take that long....In my experience on Unix environments, a similar request would
take 3 - 4 seconds....
Yeah.. no matter how much I like Linux and dislike Windows as an Oracle platform, that statement has no relevance at all. Linux/Unix does not mean 'Oracle fast' and Windoes does not mean 'Oracle slow'. Implying it does is a gross misunderstanding of o/s and Oracle architectures.
One SELECT COUNT can be very different from another. On the very same instance on the very same platform. And now you want to compare the "average" SELECT COUNT performance on Linux/Unix with that on Windows? There is nothing logical or sensible about attempting such a comparison - never mind the fact that there is no such thing as an "average" SELECT COUNT performance.
The very first thing to establish is HOW that SELECT COUNT is executed. Does it perform a full table scan? Does it perform an fast full index scan? Does it scan a bitmap index? Etc.
Post the execution plan.
And yes - one look at this level of detail long before popping the hood on Oracle configuration settings and trying "silver bullets" to slay the performance monster.

Could you please explain me a bit using LIVE Scenario

Counter function value to multiple elements as same value in different node

I need your help!
I have a counter function and value of that needs to be passed to two elements of Node A and Sub Node B..
Ex: Mapping
Map Counter function to NodeA.Element1 and also to NodeB(subnode).Element2
Expected Result:
NodA.Element1 = 1
NodeB.Element2 =1
but I am getting the result as
NodA.Element1 = 1
NodeB.Element2 =2
I understand the reason.. since the counter function is called each time..
so my questions is how do I the expected result as mentioned--
NodA.Element1 = 1
NodeB.Element2 =1
remember the XML is multiple occurence(1.. unbounded for both the nodes)
Thanks-Gopal

I think I did not explain phrase it correctly..Technicallyh NodeA.Element1 value should be copied to NodeB.Element2..As long as I can generate counter to NodeA.Element1 and hold the value somewhere to copy to NodeB.Element2, that would be fine..
the above suggestion you guys made would not work as it will create two different set of sequences.. however Index suggestion might work differently but still I might go out of sequence if I have multiple detail record for each master record..
Here the expected output (concise)
Record 1 - NodeA.Element1 = 1
Record 2 -NodeB.Element2=1
Record3- NodeA.Element1 =2
Record4 - NodeB.Element2=2 -->two detail records
Record5 - NodeB.Element2=2 --> two detail records
please help

Count() function throws error in EQL query for metric

Hi
I am trying to use count function in EQL query for Metric Bar to show the number of occurrences of a record.
When the record type doesn't exist i expect the function to return count as 0. Instead the function throws a runtime exception and the whole Metric Bar portlet fails, with error No Results Available. Even though other components in the metric bar have valid results.
2013-02-21 13:03:51,216 WARN [MetricsBarQueryProcessor] The EQL query does not return any results.
2013-02-21 13:03:51,216 ERROR [MetricsBarQueryProcessor] The EQL query does not return any results.
2013-02-21 13:03:51,216 WARN [MetricsBarResultsProcessor] No statement results to process.
The EQL query i am using is
RETURN NUMBER_OCCURS AS SELECT COUNT(EMP_ID) AS NUMBER_OCCURS where EMP_NAME IS NOT NULL group;
I tried using COALESCE but that doesn't help.
Can some one please suggest a workaround to this?

Srikanth,
Two statements are used here because the original question was pertaining to the null set (where there are employees in the nav state but no employees that fit the special analytics criteria in the navigation state). The question/answer has nothing to do with what is in the COUNT parentheses clause as Counting a null set will always give you NULL, not 0, no matter what you put in there.
What we're really doing, in the second part of the query, is writing a query over a set of data that is not the null set (i.e. the current navigation state). This allows the 0 value to come through in the case where the first analytics statement is evaluated over a null set of records. If there were truly no records in the navigation state, this too would return a null set and not zero.
Hope that makes sense, feel free to respond (either on here or offline) if it's unclear.

Count-Function in Message Mapping

Hey, trying to map following structures:
message
-m1
--m11
-m2
--m22
-m3
--m33
to
message
-m1
--m11
-m2
--m22
-m3
--m33
-f1
--countItems
The nodes m1,m2 and m3 can appear 1..unbounded. In target structure I would
like to have the numbers of all nodes (m1,m2,m3).
For example: In this source structure m1,m2,m3 appear only one time. In the
field countItems I would like to have the number 3.
I tried the count function, but it could only count the structure where I used it (in
this case: f1).
How can I count the above-mentioned nodes?
thanks
chris

Hey,
thanks for your answers.
But I still couldn't understand how to do this. I open the message mapping for field f1, but the count function could only be set on an target-element, so where to set the counters for m1,m2,m3? Do I have to insert extra fields under m1..m3?
If I do the counter would increment with every node, so if I have two times m1, in second tree of m1 a two will be insert. If I use the add function, only for these two tree the result would be three!
@Gangisetty Vijaya Bhaskarudu
Is this just one UDF? From where he knows, which nodes he have to count, if I have more than m1..m3, but only want to count this three?
@ sasitharan
same problem as mentioned above:
this doesn't work:
m1--count---\
I can't use m1 as input for count! Or do I have a wrong count function?
<b>....au damm, answered my own question. Of course. I use COUNTER and you use
COUNT!!!!!!!!!!!! I will try this with COUNT!!</b>
thanks
chris
