DECODE(SUM Function Transtype substract

Hi,
I am trying to subtract transaction types from a FACT table using SUM & DECODE functions. I need to substract Transtypes (10201, 10206, 10207, 10212) - (10202, 10206, 10207, 10212)
Query
SELECT
D0.campaign_id,
NVL((NVL(((SUM( DECODE((FACT.transtype_key),(10201),(FACT.Occurred) , (10206), (FACT.Occurred) , (10207), (FACT.Occurred) , (10212), (FACT.Occurred), ( 0) ) ) ) ) , (NULL)) ), ( 0)) - SUM( DECODE((10202),(FACT.Occurred) , (10206),(FACT.Occurred) , (10207),(FACT.Occurred) , (10212),(FACT.Occurred) ) ) )
FROM EPIMART.MESSAGES_CME_0_V FACT, EPIMART.campaign_0_V D0
WHERE FACT.TRANSTYPE_KEY IN (10202, 10207, 10219, 10218, 10210, 10212, 10204, 10201, 10206, 10211)
AND D0.Campaign_key = FACT.campaign_key
AND (D0.campaign_id = '33205')
GROUP BY D0.campaign_id

Hi Frank,
So 10206, 10207, and 10212 count as both positive and negative? Only positive
Why not just say "I need to substract Transtype 10201 - 10202"? That's what I'm trying to accomplish
Do all the other transtypes mentioned in the WHERE clause (10204, 10210, 10211, 10218 and 10219) count as 0? some of them have count
Below is a sample output of data the query produced. the unique campaign_id retrieves the number of unique member number in the FACT table then sum per transaction type key event... I basically need the sum of transtype_keys ==> (10201, 10206, 10207, 10212) - (10202, 10206, 10207, 10212)
CAMPAIGN_ID     SENT     TARGETED     BOUNCED     VIEWED     DUPLICATE     UNDELIVERED     DO_NOT_SOLICIT     UNSUBSCRIBED     NOT_SENT_NO_TRANSLATE     FIELD_IGNORED

Desired Result
Targeted = Sent + DO_NOT_SOLICIT_CME + NOT_SENT_NO_TRANSLATE_CME + Duplicate
MINUS
Delivered = Targeted - Do Not Solicit - Duplicate - Bounced - Not Sent No Translate
SENT 10201
DO_NOT_SOLICIT_CME 10207
NOT_SENT_NO_TRANSLATE_CME 10212
DUPLICATE 10206
Let me know if something is unclear
Thanks,
Soph
Edited by: Soph on Dec 27, 2012 8:35 AMEverything is unclear. Do you need to have targeted, whatever you call the stuff substracted form targete and delivered appear in the query or just the single result of the subtraction? If just the single number then the whole thing is equivalent to 10201 - 10202. Perhaps this helps explain our confusion, since you did not give a translation for 10202, I labelled it NOT_SURE.
   (SENT     + DUPLICATE + DO_NOT_SOLICIT_CME + NOT_SENT_NO_TRANSLATE_CME)
- (NOT_SURE + DUPLICATE + DO_NOT_SOLICIT_CME + NOT_SENT_NO_TRANSLATE_CME)everything except sent and not_sure cancel out in the two sums, so why bother adding them in in the first place. Just substutute some actual numbers in that to prove it to yourself.
Further, you are only using 5 different values of transtype_key in the calulation, yet your in list has 10 different values. Why select those out of the table just to throw them away? It looks to me as if you are showing only part of a larger effort, and the missing bits are what confuses us.

I believe the XSL to be correct because when I change it to a count it works and when I go into BI Publisher 11g and create the query in the data model and then create a summary from it, the summary is created.
Can anyone help?

I went back to basics and created reports (via EXCEL templates) like I was asking based on good old EMP and DEPT and I found exactly the same problems I was mentioning. I looked at the templates provided but they were not calculating totals, like me they were selecting them and then just displaying them on the page.
Anyway, I have narrowed it down to the fact that when you do aggregates like sum(.//SAL) this works if you have a salary for every value. I did an outer join with DEPT so I did have empty rows and why I still experienced the problems.
Basically XSL does not like adding (including using the sum function) values that effectively have nulls in them which is why I get the cast/constructor errors because it is trying to turn a NaN value to a number and does not (or cannot) do it.
You need to either have a value in every row of your column (maybe possible by selecting nvl in your query) and make sure that you check the "create empty nodes" checkbox in the data model of BI Publisher.,
the other solution is an xsl solution where you would have to make sure that you only added non null values and for that you would have to investigate xsl blogs.
It is, by the way, why my count worked because it is just counting that the record exists it does not care what the element content is or isn't.

Hi,
It sounds like you have a Fan Trap , where a one-to-many relationship is causing some items to be counted many times.
The usual solution is to compute the aggregates before doing the one-to-many join. Analytic functions may make this simpler.
Sorry, I can't show you exactly how to do it without the exact data.
Post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data (if different from what you've already posted).
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Simplify the problem as much as possible. If the problem only concerns the total_ships column, then only post the data needed to compute total_ships. This includes all the columns involved in the joins and GROUP BY clauses.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

What is the difference betwee decode & case function

Hi
What is the difference betwee decode & case function
1.decode can't used in pl/sql 1) case can be user
2.in decode we can't use (>,<,>=) 2) we can use
any other do u have....
thanks in advance....

DECODE works with expressions which are scalar values.
CASE can work with predicates and subqueries in searchable form.
There is one more Important difference between CASE and DECODE
DECODE can be used Only inside SQL statement....
But CASE can be used any where even as a parameter of a function/procedure
Eg:-
SQL> create or replace procedure pro_01(n number) is
2 begin
3 dbms_output.put_line(' The number = '||n);
4 End;
5 /
Procedure created.
SQL> set serverout on
SQL> var a varchar2(5);
SQL> Begin
2 :a := 'ONE';
3 End;
4 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> Begin
2 pro_01(Decode(:a,'ONE',1,0));
3 End;
4 /
pro_01(Decode(:a,'ONE',1,0));
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 9:
PLS-00204: function or pseudo-column 'DECODE' may be used inside a SQL
statement only
ORA-06550: line 2, column 2:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
SQL> Begin
2 pro_01(case :a when 'ONE' then 1 else 0 end);

Strange error in SUM function in XI

Hi geeks,
We are encountering a strange issue in SUM functionality in XI.
The Scenario is :
We have a pipe delimited source file and INVOIC01 idoc as target. each line in the source file will create a segment E1EDP01 in the target IDOC.
All the values given in the file should be summed and mapped to E1EDS01 segment in the idoc.
In one such strange case the sum of the values generated by the SUM function in XI is 2 cents lesser what we manually calculate using Calculator or Excel . There are about 100+ items in the file. This not the case always it happens once in a while.
Have any of you faced such strange errors. If yes please throw some light on the solution for this issue.
Thanks,
Noorul

Hi folks,
Thanks for your help. I solved this by writing my own code
double sum = 0;
String value;
for (int i= 0; i< a.length; i++)
sum = sum + Double.parseDouble(a<i>);
value = Double.toString(sum);
BigDecimal bg1 = new BigDecimal(value);
BigDecimal bg2 = bg1.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_DOWN);
result.addValue(bg2.toString());

How can I sum up raws? the sum function seems to work for columns only and right now I have to create a separate formula for each raw

How can I sum up raws? the Sum function seems to work only on columns. Right now I have to create a separate formula for each raw

Hi dah,
"Thanks, but can I do one formula for all present and future raws? as raws are being added, I have to do the sum function again and again"
You do need a separate formula for each group of values to be summed.
If the values are in columns, you need a copy of the formula for each column.
If the values are in rows, you need a copy of the formula for for each row.
If you set up your formulas as SGIII did in his example (shown below), where every non-header row has the same formula, Numbers will automtically add the formula to new rows as you add them.
"Same formula" in this context means exactly the same as all the formulas above, with one exception: the row reference in each formula is incremented (by Numbers) to match the row containing the formula.
Here the formula looks like this in the three rows shown.
B2: =SUM(2)
B3: =SUM(3)
B4: =SUM(4)
That pattern will continue as rows are added to the table.
Also, because the row token (2) references all of the non-header cells in row 2, the formula will automatically include new columns as they are added to the table.

Barry

How to correct XML Output in Cross Tab Template for sum function?

I have designed a Cross Tab Template to summarize R12 Account Analysis data by Period by Party_name. The template is doing what I want it to do with the exception of amount. I have a function in the sum(accounted_net) field and it will only display 0.00 even though I know there are actual amount. Can someone help in looking at my template to see what I have done wrong?
Here is the sum funciton.
<?if:count(current-group()[CCID_SOURCE=$ABC])?><?sum(current-group()[CCID_SOURCE=$ABC]/ACCOUNTED_NET)?> <?end if?>
CCID_SOURCE is an element I created in XML to concatnate CCID and Party_name for grouping. $ABC is a variable that I defined for "CCID_SOURCE" to check if there is null value for a specific ccid_party. If it's null, it won't do the sum function, otherwise it will sum the accounted_net for the period_name, party_name.
Thank you for your help.

Figured this out on our own

Sum() function not working properly. Instead of summing, its showing total count of the rows

We have migrated one application from .net framework 1.0 to .net framework 2 (from Visual studio 2003 to Visual STUDIO 2005). Now after migration we are facing some problem related to the sum function in Crystal report 10. It is not working properly.
So we migrated to Crystal report XI release 2 (though still using evaluation version for testing purpose), the problem is not yet resolved.
The problem we are facing is while using the summary in the group field, it is showing the number of rows instead of the sum of the values.
We have checked the same with min-max functions, and it is working properly with those.
We have tried to make the sum by formula field. In such case, it is not showing any syntactical error but at execution time, it is throwing an error saying "A number field or currency amount field is required here".
In the the report the datatype of the field on which we are applying the sum function, is number, and in the table from where the data is fetched, the datatype is numeric(9,6).
Any idea why sum function is not working ?
I was browsing the net and saw running totals can be a work around for such summation issues in Crystal Report XI.
Can you please provide insight of how to implement running totals for summation purpose in solving such issues.

Hi,
Running totals are more accurate than Summary Totals in Crystal. Why? ...ask Crystal. Anyway, just right click on Running Totals, create a new one, and enter you fields, etc. For group totals, it gives you a place to reset the totals for each group, etc. Pretty self explainatory.

SUM function issue

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with SUM function in SQL query on Oracle 11g database. Maybe you will be able to help me.
Problem:
I want to shows summary costs for shipments separately for each service provider and for each month they did the shipments.
Data is stored in SHIPMENT AND SHIPMENT_COST table as shown below. The problem is that summary function I use sums base costs (marked as B in SHIPMENT_COST table) for each accessorial cost (marked as A in SHIPMENT_COST table). In example for shipment 10005031 we have 4 accessorial costs so it shows 6120 in BASE_COST column. I tried to use distinct in summary but then we have a problem with shipment id 201307133713_0383 which has 3 base costs equal to 221.54 so with distinct it will show 221.54 instead of 221.54x3.

Reg: sum() function in XML

HI frs,
while using sum function in Xml.not getting correct output.
for ex:
i have created report with emp table.
load the xml into MS-Word.
i want to sum total of salary of employees.
i used SUM() function to calculate but in output it adds twice the first value and adds the rest
for ex :
these are values
200
300
500
i am gettting total like 1200 actually it should be 1000.
it adds like 200+200+300+500
why is it so.
Regards
Rajesh

Hi,

Help with SUM function ??

Hi,
I am trying to build a SUM function into the following SELECT statement;
SELECT emp_code "EmployeeCode", trn_date "TransactionDate", project "ProjectCode",
phase_code "PhaseCode", task_code "TaskCode", reg_hrs "RegularHoursAmt", rate_reg "RegularHoursRate", ot_hrs "OvertimeHoursAmt", rate_ot "OvertimeHoursRate"
Currently when i do the extract to xls I manually compile the "RegularHoursAmt" and "RegularHoursRate" manually and it's quite a task. I'm sure it can be completed in teh SELECT but I'm not clear on how and it's been quite some time since my last foray into SQL. Any assistance appreciated.
I need to sum "RegularHoursAmt" and "RegularHoursRate"
per "EmployeeCode"
by "TransactionDate"
with unique combo of "ProjectCode", "PhaseCode", "TaskCode"
Cheers, Peter

Hi, Peter,

Thanks Frank for the quick response. Ok, here goes;
The TABLES already exist and I am only pulling the data for the columns in my SELECT statement so no CREATE of INSERT as such.Post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements so that the people who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas.
The data is in Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0Perfect!
So you want totals that represent the entire day for a given employee.
Yes, but rows are by the unique combo per employee of "ProjectCode", "PhaseCode", "TaskCode"So a row of output will represent a distinct combination of employee, day, ProjectCode, PhaseCode and TaskCode, and that one output row may correspond to more than one row of input; is that right?
eg Tom works on 4 unique "ProjectCode/PhaseCode/TaskCode" efforts on "TransactionDate"What does "effort" mean here? If I could look at some actaul data (or actual fake data; don't post anything like real credit card numbers) and the results you want from that data, perhaps it would be clear.
One of those unique "ProjectCode/PhaseCode/TaskCode" efforts however has 3 timesheet entries as he has added unique Descriptions of what his efforts were aimed at achieving.
We are not extracting the Descriptions and thereby want to SUM those 3 timesheet entries into one row.
Do you also want a total for each employee, over all days? No thanks
Do you want a grand total for all employees and all days? No thanks
Do you want the totals on the same output rows as your current reuslts? That would be handy
If so, use the analytic SUM function. I'm not familiar with this
Do you want separate rows for the the totals? That could helpPost the exact results you want from a small set of given data. It's fine to describe the results, as you did above, but describe them in addition to (not instead of) actually showing them.
Does that make my questions easier to follow?It looks good, but without some sample data and the results you want from that data, I can't say for sure.
Please post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements (relevant columns only) for a little sample data, so that I (and the others who want to help you) can see exactly what your tables are like, and actually try our solutions. Simplify as much as possible. For example, if the data is actually coming from a multi-table join, but you already know how to join all the tables perfectly, then pretend all the data is in one table, and post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for that one table that looks sort of like your current result set. Post just enough data to show what you want to do. Based on what you've said so far, I'm guessing that 10 to 20 rows of raw data, resulting in 3 to 7 rows of output could give a nice example.
Also, post the exact results you want from the sample data you post. Explain, with specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
If parts of your desired output are optional (that is, if some parts "would be handy" or "could help") then post a couple of different sets of results from the same data, and explain, something like this:
"What I'd really love to get for results is" ...
but, if that makes things really complicated or inefficient, I don't absolutely need ... or ...,
so I'd settle for these results: ..."
I know it's a lot of work to post all this information, but it's really necessary. If I could help you without making you do all this, then I would. Unfortunately, I really don't have a good idea of where you're coming from or where you want to go.

Problem with group by and sum function

In one of the report I'm using grioup by clause on one column. However when I use this function the sum function on other column is not working.
Any idea how we can resolve this?

Hi Tintin,
Follow the below steps:
1) On the order number column formula, use the max function.
2) Duplicate the revenue column in the RPD, set the aggregation to sum and level to transaction. This will give you the sum of all the orders in a particular trasaction, where as in report you will see only the max account number.
Assign points if helpful.
Thanks,
-Amith.

How can I use SUM function to calculate # of employees in the comp.&deptnt?

I've got two tables: employee & department. I am trying to calculate total employees by department and total employees by the entire company. I know I need to use SUM function, but I only can calculate total employees by department & by company separately. I need to get this output:
DEPT_NAME     DEPT_TOTAL_SALARY         COMPANY_TOTAL_SALARY
RESEARCH                  10875                        29025
SALES                      9400                        29025
ACCOUNTING                 8750                        29025
This is my code:
SELECT department_name, SUM(salary) as total_salary
FROM employee, department
WHERE employee.department_id = department.department_id
GROUP BY department_name;
SELECT SUM(salary)
FROM employee;
Can somebody help please?
Thank you in advance.Edited by: user13675672 on Jan 30, 2011 2:29 PM

;Analytic functions are computed after aggregate functions, so an aggregate function can be nested inside an analytic function.
Another way (without a sub-query, at least) would be SELECT DISTINCT, with only analytic functions.
SELECT DISTINCT
       d.dname
,       SUM (e.sal) OVER (PARTITION BY d.dname)     AS dept_tot_sal

Decimal places diferent in BO SUM function than from DB

Hi,
I have a column from a Netezza database with 2 decimal places, if I apply a sum() function in BO (report) the decimal places are 4.
The strange part is that if i do exact the same query in a DB2 database the decimal places are always two (like in DB) even if i use a sum function in report.
There is some configuration regarding the database i'm using to set the decimal places in the report level to be the same than in DB?
Edited: I've been studing the problem and I found using a odbc instead of a jdbc makes all the columns have 2 decimal places, and the sum problem doesn't happen. Now my issue is the division. How is possible that with the exact same values with two decimal positions, in BO and exporting to excel the last decimal place is different in some cases
Example:
Lets say A/B with A=13549678065,560000 and B= 21629484348,690000. With Netezza result is 62,6444803173527 and Db2 62,6444803173528
Thanks for your time.

I've never seen this particular problem before. Quite strange. It sounds more like an OLAP or SQL Server issue, not BPC.
I'm not aware of any configuration on SQL server that allows you to control the decimal separator.
I had a similar problem in the past, when my customer refused to follow the install guide instructions, and insisted that the server be set to non-US English regional settings. If I recall, the issue had to do with date formats not decimal separators. They ended up un-installing and re-installing the entire OS (with US English setup, the second time around), and then it worked fine. This was back on 5.0, and perhaps the situation has changed since then. There's a section in the master / install guide that covers the server-side language & regional settings in some detail.
But before you look at that, try something easier -- is it possible that the cube is somehow corrupted? Do you get any errors when you process the application? Perhaps there is some data in the fact table with an invalid member ID.
Do you get the same result in your Excel report when you use both EVDRE and EVGET?
And if you browse the cube data in SQL Mgmt Studio (logging into the Analysis Services cube) do you see aggregated data there?
