Deriving Value From Totals Column

BI Publisher 11g:
I have the following report I generated:
BOX TYPE
NUMBER OF BOXES
COST
COST PER BOX
A
10
$100
$10
B
20
$140
$7
TOTAL
30
$240
$17
My problem is that in the TOTAL row in the COST PER BOX column the value should not be $17 i.e ($10 + $7) It should actually be $8 i.e ($240 / $30). Does anyone know how to compute this correct value.

Assuming this xml data structure:
<DATA_DS>
<G_4>
<BOX_TYPE>A</BOX_TYPE>
<NUM_BOXES>10</NUM_BOXES>
<COST>100</COST>
</G_4>
<G_4>
<BOX_TYPE>B</BOX_TYPE>
<NUM_BOXES>20</NUM_BOXES>
<COST>140</COST>
</G_4>
</DATA_DS>
You can use the following code to get the values:
row1: <?for-each-group:G_4;./BOX_TYPE?><?sort:current-group()/BOX_TYPE;'ascending';data-type='text'?> <?BOX_TYPE?> <?NUM_BOXES?> <?COST?> <?COST div NUM_BOXES?><?end for-each-group?>
row2: <?sum(NUM_BOXES)?> <?sum(COST)?> <?sum(COST) div sum(NUM_BOXES)?>
Thanks,

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!!! : (

Get millisecond values from timestamp column in v$logmnr_contents

Hello
How do we get millisecond values from timestamp column in v$logmnr_contents.
I tried with following query.
select scn,To_Char(timestamp,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS:FF') from v$logmnr_contents WHERE OPERATION NOT IN('START') and username ='SCOTT' and sql_redo is not null and (seg_owner is null or seg_owner not in('SYS'));
it says ORA-01821: date format not recognized. I want to find the relation of scn with timestamp. In forums i found, scn is derived from timestamp value. I dont know its correct or not.
if i query with out FF in time format i get like
scn timestamp
808743 27-NOV-2007 00:12:53
808743 27-NOV-2007 00:12:53

808744 27-NOV-2007 00:12:53
808744 27-NOV-2007 00:12:53
if scn is derived from timestamp with milliseconds, each scn should be different right?More help please

May be there's an easy way solving your problem, I did it like that:
CREATE TABLE quota_test (test VARCHAR2(50))
INSERT INTO quota_test
VALUES ('update "SCOTT"."NEWTAB1" set a="34" and b="45"')
SELECT test normal, REPLACE(SUBSTR(test,INSTR(test,'"',1),INSTR(test,'.',1)+2),'"','') changed
FROM quota_test
Result is :
NORMAL
update "SCOTT"."NEWTAB1" set a="34" and b="45"
CHANGED
SCOTT.NEWTAB1
If you didn't understand, I can explain what I wrote

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).

Reading values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013

We are able to read the values of text, number columns through custom workflow (via coding) in SharePoint 2013. However, we are not able to read values from lookup columns. So, request anyone to provide help on this.
Thanks & regards,
Aditya

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to read values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013.
Since the workflow just doesn't get lookup fields, let's give it something static to work with instead. If we can capture the ID of the lookup field and store that as a static value in our list, the workflow can happily use that to look up our related.
For more information, you can refer to:
SharePoint 2013 Workflows and Lookup Columns

Direction Needed: Storing calculated values from datagrid column in order to call values into graph

Hi all,
I am new to Flex/Flash Builder, actionscript, and mxml, so please be kind.
I have developed a small program that has a component that displays a datagrid fed with information out of a mysql db via a php data services connection. Within that same component (page), I have a graph that charts the dates via a plot chart. I am interested in adding a line series to the graph, but the data I want to use is a calculated field in the datagrid which I used a custom lable function to derive and display. Can someone steer me to the correct method to store such values and how to call them into a chart?
Some addition information
Custom label function:
/* Custom label function for the Delta1 column. Calculates the number of days between the planting date and 10% flower. */
                              private function calculateTo1stFlower(item:Object, column:GridColumn):String {
                                        var tempDate1:Date = new Date(item.dflower10 - item.dplanting);
                                        return Math.round((tempDate1.time / MS_PER_DAY) + 1).toString();
/* Number of milliseconds in a day. (1000 milliseconds per second * 60 seconds per minute * 60 minutes per hour * 24 hours per day) */
                              private const MS_PER_DAY:uint = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
Within my spark datagrid
<s:GridColumn width="30" headerText="Δ1" labelFunction="calculateTo1stFlower" ></s:GridColumn>
I assume I need to store the array of values for this column and then chart the saved values as the xField within the LineSeries. Should I use a class based model?
The following link seemed like it may be an appropriate path; I am not sure though.

Thanks for trying to post DDL, but you have no idea how to do a data model. You do not know that tables have to have keys, what ISO-11179 is, etc.
You have a table that is supposed to model companies. Your singular names says that there is only one company! There is no company identifier (the industry standard is the DUNS). A customer is not a company. We do not use numeric data types for identifiers;
do you do math on them? NO! The attribute property comes after the attribute name (you never heard of ISO-11179).
Think about how silly VARCHAR(1) is.
CREATE TABLE Companies
(company_duns CHAR(9) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
company_name VARCHAR(30)NOIT NULL,
margin_oil INTEGER NOT NULL,
margin_hangar INTEGER NOT NULL,
margin_cleaning INTEGER NOT NULL);
INSERT INTO Companies
VALUES (1, 'AviatKorea', 100, 125, 200),
(2, 'AXHollande', 50, 40, 30),
(3, 'BFXNorway', 60, 80, 600),
(4, 'EEEFrance', 10, 25, 60);
CREATE TABLE Company_Tariffs
(company_duns INTEGER NOT NULL
REFERENCES Companies(company_duns),
tariff_type CHAR(1) NOT NULL
CHECK (tariff_type IN ('A','B','C','D'),
PRIMARY KEY (company_duns, tariff_type));
INSERT INTO Company_Tariffs values (1, 'A'), (2, 'C'), (2, 'D'), (3, 'A'), (4, 'A'), (4, 'C'), (4, 'D')
SELECT * -- do not use * in production code
FROM Companies AS C,
Company_Tariffs AS T
WHERE C.company_duns = T.company_duns;

Invoice Forms created with Adobe X - default value for "total" column should be blank

I am new to the forum and just finding my way around. Thank you for any help.
I've created an invoice template in Word, then imported it into Adobe X Pro to turn it into a form. Pretty simple, but one thing is troubling me. I have the usual description, quantity, price each, and total columns. The "total" columns are defaulting with a "0" in them, and I'd prefer they default blank unless an entry is made on that line. I have right-clicked the "total" fields properties and the default values are blank already, but a zero still shows up. I know it can be done because one of my earlier forms defaults to a blank space until I entered something on that line. Then it calculated. How can I make the "total" column blank unless something is entered there?
Secondly, when I save a form and want to go back to make changes, I'm not seeing how to do this. It seems to save as a .pdf, and if I want to modify the form portion I have to start all over from scratch. What am I missing?
Thanks so much for any help.

George, thank you for the response.
I've entered the script, and no change. The "total" columns still show a (zero) 0 even when I have not entered anything in that line.
For example:
Description             Qty     Unit Price     Total
                                                                         0
                                                                         0
                                                                         0
etc... all the day down the form.
I'd like the zeroes not to appear when there is nothing on the Description lines.
Incidentally, when selecting fields to use for calculations for the "total" column, we're supposed to place a check mark in the box of the fields to be calculated - and I can't CLICK in them. I have to use the space bar. Is that how it is supposed to work?
Thanks for your quick response.

Applying derived value to a column in an update

Hi
I am new to Application Express so please excuse the simplicity of this question !
I have a tabular form that the users can update a restricted number of columns. Three of the columns they can't update are derived.
Two of these are simple, they can be updated via a trigger on the table. The third column is causing me a problem.
When the user logs in I trap the login username and pass it to the associated page without any problem. I then want to take the username, do a lookup on a second table and take a value from that table to update the column on the row being updated.
Is there a simple way to do this ?
Thanks
Bob
Edited by: user8102174 on 02-Feb-2009 06:20

Hello Bob,
I think you can do that in a trigger also by using NVL(v('APP_USER') , USER) for retrieving the lookup value.
Otherwise create a Computation on the APEX page.

Multiple values from same column in diffetent columns in same row??

Hi all,
I am wondering how you can display different values from the same column into different columns on same row. For example using a CASE statement I can:
CASE WHEN CODE IN ('1', '3') THEN COUNT( ID) END as "Y"
CASE WHEN CODE NOT IN ('1', 'M') THEN COUNT( ID) END as "N"
Yes this will produce two columns needed but will also produce two separate records and null values for the empty's.
Any ideas?
Thanks

It's not clear what you want.
Can you post some examples as described in the FAQ: {message:id=9360002}
As my first guess, I would think you're looking for something like...

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
)Definetely inefficient :(

   FOR rec_outer IN (SELECT * FROM A) LOOP

         IF (rec_outer.f_name = rec_inner.l_name) THEN
            UPDATE B
               SET reason =

Passing value from Report Column to Javascript

Dear Apex wizards,
I am a bit stuck right now with implementing a modal pop-up/iframe/javascript and this forum is my last hope to fix this issue.
Anyway, will try to explain what I am trying to accomplish.
What I need is: I want to have an SQL report, as a very first column I want to have an "ID" numbers from my table and I want this column to have a "Column Link" set in "Column Attributes" proper ties. The trick is, that when I click on the column link (when I run my report on Apex page) I need a JQuery modal window to pop-up where in IFrame will be another page and this page will use an "ID" from my column link URL to display data. So, basically I want to pass an "ID" value from my parent page to my child page which is displayed in iFrame of modal window.
And here is what I have:
1. I do have an SQL report:
select SUBNET_ID,
       long2ip(NETWORK_ADDRESS),
       long2ip(SUBNET_MASK),
       long2ip(END_HOST),
       long2ip(START_HOST),
       MAX_HOSTS,
       long2ip(BROADCAST_IP),
       NETWORK_CLASS,
       NETWORK_SIZE,
       HOST_SIZE
from   YC_CM_IP_SUBNETS 2. Then, in "Column Attributes" for "SUBNET_ID" a have set a "Column Link" to URL as : javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(#SUBNET_ID#); 3. Now, when I run my page and point my mice on any item in my "SUBNET_ID" column I can see that it is getting a "SUBNET_ID" number from my table and it shows it in the buttom of the browser as :javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(1);, or (2) or whatever "SUBNET_ID" is. So, that is good.
4. And here I am getting confused, basically I have to pass a value of javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(#SUBNET_ID#);, which seems to work as it gives me correct numbers from my table, to my "ViewNetworkDetails" JavaScript function, so it can paste this value into "f?p=........." iFrame URL. Below is my Jquery Modal form script and Javascript to redirect me to my popup page (the script is in HTML Header):
<script type="text/javascript">
function ViewNetworkDetails(){
var apexSession = $v('pInstance');
var apexAppId = $v('pFlowId');
var subnetIDNumber = document.getElementById(#SUBNET_ID#);
$(function(){
vRuleBox = '<div id="ViewNetworkDetailsBox" title="View Subnet Details">
<iframe src="f?p='+apexAppId+':103:'+apexSession+'::NO:103:P103_SUBNET_ID:'+subnetIDNumber+'
"width="875" height="500" title="View Subnet Details" frameborder="no"></iframe></div>'
$(document.body).append(vRuleBox);
$("#ViewNetworkDetailsBox").dialog({
                        buttons:{"Cancel":function(){$(this).dialog("close");}},
                        stack: true,
modal: true,
                        width: 950,
resizable: true,
autoResize: true,
draggable: true,
close : function(){$("#ViewNetworkDetailsBox").remove();
                        location.reload(true); }
</script> P.S. My assumption is, that there is a problem with this part of my scriptvar subnetIDNumber = document.getElementById(#SUBNET_ID#); where I cannot get my "SUBNET_ID" value from javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(#SUBNET_ID#); into "subnetIDNumber" variable and that is why I cannot pass it to my iFrame URL.
P.S. P.S. the child page 103 has a "Automated Row Fetch", so it is not a problem. In addition, I did a simple test, where I had a page item "P102_Value" with some value and in my script I had instead var subnetIDNumber = document.getElementById(#SUBNET_ID#); this var subnetIDNumber = $v('P102_Value'); and it worked perfectly fine....but cannot make it working against SQL Select statement :-(
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPP.
Thanks

Change your column link to send the subnet_id column's value to the function call (you mentioned it, but I m not sure if you actually did)
javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(#SUBNET_ID#);<u>You are passing the parameter value to the function, but not defined any parameters in the function definition</u>(this is possible in JS, any extra parameters is ignored)
So, modify the function to accept the subnet ID parameter(I am actually surprised how you missed this) and assign that parameter to variable.
<script type="text/javascript">
function ViewNetworkDetails(pSubnetId){
var apexSession = $v('pInstance');
var apexAppId = $v('pFlowId');
var subnetIDNumber = pSubnetId;
//rest of the code would be the same

How do I return a value from a column based on info from neighboring columns?

I have a table of data that looks similar to this:
Weight
Name
School
Division
106
Name1
School1
1
106
Name2
School2
2
106
Name3
School3
3
106
Name4
School4
4
113
Name5
School5
1
113
Name6
School6
2
113
Name7
School1
3
113
Name8
School3
4
It's a very large table, so there will be multiple matches for Schools, and occasionally a few matches for Names, but there will always be only one match for a given Weight and Division.
In a separate table, how can I get the name of the person associated with the unique weight and division?
In my head, the formula goes" "Look in the Weight column to find 106, then look in the Division column to find 4, then return the value from the Name column." But I can't figure out the formula that will do that.
Any thoughts?

Hi momogabi,
This can be easily done with an index column.
The formula I used in your original table for the index column is:
=A2&"-"&D2. This was filled down. The column can be hidden.
You can see the formula in the search table. If I wanted to eliminate the index column in that table the formula would look something like:
=INDEX('Table 1-1'::B,MATCH(A2&"-"&B2,'Table 1-1'::E,0),1)
Hope this helps.
