Filter TOP query so that a result cannot be in the top if the column value is already present in a previous row

Hi,
Any help would be appreciated. I have a query that is the top(5) but I want them to be distinct on only one column value, not on the entire row. Any help would be really appreciated.
Regards,
Seamus

SELECT TOP 5 [DISTINCT COLUMN], MAX([SOME OTHER COLUMN]), MAX([SOME OTHER COLUMN], MAX([SOME OTHER COLUMN])
FROM [TABLE]
GROUP BY [DISTINCT COLUMN]
This will do it, but the values may display incorrectly, since it's taking the MAX value of each partition of your distinct column, so another way would be:
;WITH CTE AS(
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY [DISTINCT COLUMN] ORDER BY NEWID()) AS RN
FROM [TABLE])
SELECT TOP 5 [DISTINCT COLUMN], [OTHER COLUMN], [OTHER COLUMN]
FROM CTE
WHERE RN = 1
Thanks.

Cannot create a calendar collection because there are too many already present in

My OS X Server (Yosemite) error log is throwing this error:
2014-10-22 00:03:07+0800 [-] [caldav-2] [-] [twistedcaldav.storebridge.CalendarCollectionResource#error] Cannot create a calendar collection because there are too many already present in <twistedcaldav.directory.calendar.DirectoryCalendarHomeResource object at 0x10743a750>
...when I attempt to add more than 50 lists in the Reminders app. I had a similar issue in Mavericks. Is this "50" number available to modify in a config file somewhere?
My plan is to manage GTD-type projects in my Reminders apps (on iOS and OS X), but this limit is keeping me from creating a list for EVERY project I have.

Woohoo! I set the integer to "500" and I now have over 200 lists added, and syncing, to my Reminders app and related tools.
Here's exactly what I did after reading the response from Linc Davis:
Stop the Calendar service
Create /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Config/caldav-user.plist
Edit contents of "caldav-user.plist", setting your desired integer value:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
 <dict>
 <key>MaxCollectionsPerHome</key>
 <integer>500</integer>
 </dict>
</plist>
 4. Start the Calendar service
Enjoy your many more lists.
Note that a file created in a place other than ~/ may have permissioning issues. To get around this, I made a copy of /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/caldavd-system.plist, then renamed and edited that file with nano in terminal.

Query not retrieving exact results.

I have a query which shows different result from what i have it in the cube.
I have a document number in rows and two key figures one amount and another which shows no. of days for clearance. In the cube, for the same selection criteria , it gives me three records for the same document no. but in query its is gving me one record with different values in KF.
sample.
In cube
Doc Amount No. Days for CLearance
59    100 31
59    400 14
59    500 38
In query the result shows as
59   1000   1
Any Ideas where it is doing wrong. No of days for clearance is calculated from the difference btw posting date and clearing date. I need No. of Days to further develop this query.Is it something to do with compression, or query cache..
Any Ideas!!1
Thanks in Advance..
Veeru

Sorry, the Result I've shown may be little confusion .. Here is the clear picture..
In query..
DOC -
Amount -
No.of Days to CLearing
59 -
1000 -
1
In Cube
DOC -
Amount -
No.of Days to CLearing
59 -
100----
31
59 -
500-------14
59--400-----18
the value of Days to Clearing is showing as 1.
Properties of that key figure are defined as follows..
KF as NUMBER
Aggregation :Summation
Exp.Aggregation : Counter All Values.
Ref Characteristic : cal day.
Is this something related to the display properties in BEX. Again, In cube the records are correct..
Thanks

DB buffer cache vs. SQL query & PL/SQL function result cache

Hi all,
Started preparing for OCA cert. just myself using McGraw Hill's exam guide. Have a question about memory structures.
Actually, DB buffer cache is used to copy e.g. SELECT queries result data blocks, that can be reused by another session (server process).
There is also additional otion - SQL query & PL/SQL function result cache (from 11g), where also stored the results of such queries.
Do they do the same thing or nevertheless there is some difference, different purpose?
thanks in advance...

There is also additional otion - SQL query & PL/SQL function result cache (from 11g), where also stored the results of such queries.Result cache located in shared pool.So it is one component of shared pool.When server process execute query(and if you configured result cache) then result will store in shared pool.Then next execution time run time mechanism will detect and consider using result cache without executing this query(if data was not changed this is happen detection time)
Do they do the same thing or nevertheless there is some difference, different purpose?.Buffer cache and result cache are different things and purpose also,but result cache introduced to improve response time of query in 11g(but such mechanism also implemented in 10g subquery execution,in complex query).In buffer cache holds data blocks but not such results.

Using external parameters within MS Query returning that data right into a pivot table Excel 2010

In Excel 2010 i was able to use the external parameters within MS Query returning that data right into a pivot table. But the parameter on the worksheet will not save in the paremeter setting of the data connection. And if you save it and open
it and try to refresh the pivot table Excel stops responding and you have to force the file closed. I found out the reason to crash is that it did not keep the parameter saved.
Can this be fixed?

Content Search Query Builder - filtering for custom column value

I want to use a CSWP to display certain pages in a slideshow format on a site. However, to filter them in a preferred manner, the pages library has a custom column "Spotlight" which is a Boolean type (e.g. yes/no).
In my "Build Your Query" configuration page, I have added a keyword filter "SpotlightOWSBOOL=Yes" as the criteria to display my results. This is not working, despite the fact that I currently have pages flagged as "Spotlight"
in this library.
My question is - how can I achieve this result of displaying only pages with a custom column value "Spotlight" as "Yes"?

Hi Owen,
Could you capture a screenshot about your Crawled Property for your list column "Spotlight"? Is it name "SpotlightOWSBOOL"?
If your library column name is "Spotlight", you can create a custom
Manged Property (e.g. create name as SpotlightMangedProperty)to map the
Crawled Propery (e.g. may ows_spotlight, or ows_SpotlightOWSBOOL?) genegrated by list column "Spotlight", then start a full crawl.
Then you can add the keyword filter like below in "Build Your Query" dialog of CSWP web part, then check if the correct items are filtered.
SpotlightMangedProperty:"yes"
If the above value "yes" doesn't work, please also try
SpotlightMangedProperty:"True", or try SpotlightMangedProperty:1

How to have total result of CKF use the formula of the CKF

Hello experts, in a couple of BI reports we need that a Calculated Key Figure's total result use its same formula, instead of using the different calculations that are offered for totals. Let me explain:
We have the following report (please ignore the "-"):
Month----Entries---Exits----Percentage
Jan--82--
25%
Feb--63--
50%
Mar--81--
12.5%
Result--226--
Percentage is calculated as "Exits / Entries * 100", or "Exits %A Entries" (in the latter case, the default calculation of total is "average", while in the former it is "sum") and has an exception aggregation of "Average" with reference characteristic "Calendar Month". The problem we have run up with is that we want the result of Percentage calculated the same way, which is somewhat similar to an average. However, the result is always calculated based on the individual results. This gives us different numbers.
Result Percentage = Total Exits %A Total Entries = (6 / 22) * 100 = 27.27% (CORRECT)
Result Percentage = Average of individual Percentages = (25 + 50 + 12.5) / 3 = 29.16% (INCORRECT)
I've tried different approaches, such as changing the reference characteristic and exception aggregation, selecting "average" as the method of calculating results or individual values, checking the "cummulated" and "Also apply to results" checkboxes, etc. but I was unsuccessful.
Any thoughts?

I'll post sample data and give a more thorough explanation of both queries (the one that works correctly and the one that does not). Both queries come from the same infocube:
The correct query: it is a monthly report of entries vs exits for all store types but one (called "general" which should not be included here) in a base country (so if base country is, for example, France, then all stores in France). The query structure and sample data (ignore the "-"):
January--February--
Exits--EntriesPercentageExitsEntries--
Percentage
Store type 1--52025%918--
50%
Store type 2--41822.22%320--
15%
Store type 3--125621.43%1360--
21.67%
Total--2194
22.34% -2598--
25.51%
This query is initially restricted by the base country and the store type "general" (so that it is not considered).
The incorrect query: it is a monthly report of entries vs exits for store type "general" ONLY, outside the base country. The query structure and sample data (for ease of analyzing, I am repeating the data in the key figures, changing the store for the calendar month):
Country 1--Country 2--
Exits--EntriesPercentageExitsEntries--
Percentage
January--52025%918--
50%
February--41822.22%320--
15%
March--125621.43%1360--
21.67%
Total--2194
30.33% -2598--
28.89%
This query is initially filtered by the store type "general" and the base country (so that it is not considered).
As you can see, the percentage can change quite a lot. What confuses me is that in both cases I am using the same CKF "Percentage" with "Average" as exception aggregation and "Calendar Month" as Reference Characteristic.
Percentage = Exits %A Entries
When dealing with individual results, everything is ok. It is only when dealing with totals that the query miscalculates, calculating the totals as the "Percentage" average (the sum of individual values / the number of values).
I modified the incorrect query to match the correct query, so that it looked like a copy of it, and the results were calculated correctly. Then, when I modified it again to return it to its original form, the results were calculated incorrectly again.
Any suggestions? Do you think this could be a configuration issue or something like that?

Performance issue: View query is calculating a column value before filterin

Hi,
I have a view like this.(My view is more complex than this..I just tried to imitate the situation )
Select emp_id, emp_name, calculate_salary(emp_id) salary
From employees
Where nvl(department, '@@##$$') = nvl(get_global.department, '@@##$$')When I execute the below query
select emp_name from my_view where salary=10000 by setting a value to get_globals.department I found that it first calls the calculate_salary instead of applying the filter for departments. By somehow the cost base analyzer thinks that calling the function is cheaper than applying the filter. I wonder whether there is way to direct the cba and say to first apply the filters before calculating column values.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

I don't think it's possible.
Before a WHERE clause can be applied the data has to be collected for the row so Oracle, I would imagine, isn't going to differentiate between what is a database column and a function, fetch just the columns, do the filtering and then go back to calculate the rest of the columns; it's just going to get all the columns, including the calculated ones, and then apply the filters.
The only option would be to do...
select emp_id, emp_name, calculate_salary(emp_id) salary
from (select emp_id, emp_name
      from employees
      where nvl(deparment, '@@##$$') = nvl(get_global.department, '@@##$$')
      )as your view

How to Control the width of the Filter row in Table View

Hi !
I have a Table View with filter='application'. The filter works fine but I am not able to control the width of the columns of the tableview .
On filtering, if there are not items in the table view the columns shrink to the minum width....and it looks very odd.
Can you help me how to control the width of the Filter-Row in Table Veiw.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Bindiya

Hi Raja,
"FIXEDCOLUMN" did not help in the width of the column, but it just showed all the rows merged in the column.
I have a cloumn called "COUNTRY" and its width is set to "20". The Filter of the column "COUNTRY" is a dropdownlist whos value is update with new values.
On filtering if there is any row visible then the column width is adjusted to the maxmimum length of the dropdownlist ( this is because of the "EDIT" attribute in column definition ). But if there is no rows visiblel for the selected filter value then the filter row shrinks to the width = "20" and the dropdownlist is not visible completely.
Need to know how to control the width of the FILTER column.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Bindiya

Displaying the result of the TOP N query

Hi all,
we are facing a challenging task were we are going to build a query that gives the answer on the question:
How many different materials (of the top sold) represent 80% of the total sales in quantity?
The result should of the query should be very short:
                                                                                2002           2003             2004
Nr of materials
reps 80%          432            453               499
The query is build on a CO-PA based cube, where each line corresponds to a billing item with material and quantity.
By using a Top 80% condition on the quantity sold keyfigure we get out the top 80% materials sold:
Year     Material     QTYSold        QTYSold-Ranked
2002     Mtr0323      10000             1
         Mtr0262      9000              2
         Mtr0243      8700              3
         Mtr0763      600               423
         Result       932000            423
2003     Mtr0123      9700             1
         Mtr0332      9100              2
         Mtr0243      8700              3
        Mtr0763      543               453
       Result       912000            453
We would like to supress the materials and only show the result row (or the raked position of the last material).
The problem is that the 'Calculate Single Value As' properties of a formula (or keyfigure) only applies on Displayed Data values. All tests we have done so far with 'supression of zeros' & 'always hide' has messed up or counting / ranking functions.
Is there any function in within formulas that have same functionality like Count,Rank etc?
Is there any other way to supress materials and only show results?
Any suggestions are welcome!

Irina,
Should be achievable using exception aggregation and pre-query.
Create a query that gives the list of material that account for 80% of the sales using condition on the sales column.
In the second query, using exception aggregation, count the number of materials that make up this set for the year. Create a new calculated key figure with the formula as qual to sales key figure. In the properties window, press the enhance button and select count of all values in the first drop down and material in the second drop down. Filter the query on material with a characteristic variable with processing as replacement path. In the variable point it to the first query. Drilldown for this will be year.
This will give you number of materials for one year. If you want comparitive for three years, then three pre-queries and three variables with the calculated key figure restricted to a variable pointing to one years query.
You can use pre-calculated value sets to improve the run for the result query.

Filter in query result table not populated by criteria previously selected.

Hi Experts,
I'm currently working on the the Upgrade of our BW production line from
release 3.0b to 7.0:
Configuration of target system
BW system : Release 7.0
BEx Analyser : Release 2004s, Support Package9, Patch 1, Revision 321
Sap Gui 6.4
We're especially trying to check the non-regression of the non-converted queries in the new system (release 7.0).
And we get the following issue: After having selected the selection criteria in the selection window, the reminder of selected criteria is not done in the filter part of the target query result. Is it a normal behavior or not ?
Indeed, in the previous system configuration (BW 3.0b), the user is accustomed to seeing just above his result table the selection criteria that he had previously filled in in the selection window.
Please find herewith an example describing the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.

In order to be more clear, hereunder an example:
- I have a field untitled "Business Division"in the selection window.*
- I fill in this field with the value "OND"
- I execute the query with this value for this field.
- The query result correclty appears.
- I click on the "Filter" button to display the Filter table with the columns "Navigation pane" and "Filter criteria".
- In the "Navigation pane", there is the field "Business Division".
- For me, the corresponding "Filter criteria" should be the value "OND", but nothing is displayed...
Thanks in advance foryour help.

Steph

Toolbar installed that has caused a blank strip across the top of my facebook page which i cannot click on

I accidentally installed a toolbar i do not want. i think i successfully uninstalled it, but after it was installed, when i go into the facebook app, there is a strip across the top of the facebook page on which i cannot click on to . this strip includes my spot on which i click on to my wall or homepage in facebook. if i move the page down far enough, i can click on other things, but never can i get far enough down to click on these tabs. this only happens in firefox, which i prefer wayyy over google chrome for gaming. do i need to delete firefox and reinstall? please help!

Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.
