Find difference between two numbers (DBL)

Hello All,
Is there a function in labview other than subtraction function that can find the difference between the two given numbers?
Thanks,
Davidson
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think if he wanted to find absolute value he would have mentioned it.
And not asked about other function for taking difference.
Do you want to fight over this? When it is mentioned "DIFFERENCE" and not "ABSOLUTE" value.
Anyways..Will fight tomorrow. I am going home.
Best of luck

Thanks in advance.

hi,
manual coding would be like this,
data: no1 type i,
        no2 type i,
        no1per type d,
        no2per type d,
        diff type d.
no1per = no1 / 100.
no2per = no2 / 100.
if no1per >= no2per
diff = no1per - no2per.
write:/10 '% diff of',no1,'and',no2,' is',diff.
else.
diff = no2per - no1per.
write:/10 '% diff of',no2,'and',no1,' is',diff.
if helpful reward some points.

System notes:
2-node 11.2.0.3.4 GI/RDBMS running on RHEL5.

Thank you.
That solved part of a problem. Now what if I want to satisfy a condition?
Considering the same above table, say I want to "value of Col_C when value of Col_A='D' - value of Col_C when value of Col_B='C'"?

Find Differences between two tables at column level

Hi,
I have 2 tables one live table and the other History table..
If i have to find differences between live table and the latest version in the History table and also find which column got chaanged
How would i do that for a table which has many columns and i need each column for which the value has changed for a id
for ex:
Table 1 (LIve) Table 2 (History)
ID col1 col2 Version ID col1 col2 Version
1 ABC 123 V1 1 ABCD 123 v2
2 NBS 1234 V1 2 NBS 123 V2
Result set should be
Result Set:
ID col which changed
1 col1
2 col2
Because the values for that column had been changed
Except gives me all the differences not just the column level ..

The dynamic version using schema views... :D

To find difference between two dates

Hi all,
I am new to this forum and oracle.
I want to get the difference between two dates. My query is as below...
sqlserver_utilities.datediff('YY', startdate,enddate)
I want the difference in year.
Please help me. It's really urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Inam

Select to_char(enddate,'YY') - to_char(startdate,'YY') fromPLEASE don't do that. There are so many things wrong with it...
for example:
1). Why are you subtracting character data types?
2). What if the start date is 1999 and the end date is 2000? Do you expect to get a difference of -1?
3). What if the start date is 1 Jan 2000 and the end date is 31 Dec 2000? Do you expect to get 0 instead of 1 or .997?
4). Why would you convert dates to something else when they are inherently subtractable.
5). There are obvious points in the OP's "specification" that are vague - the best thing (after telling them to search, of course since this has been answered a million times already) would be to try to clarify the spec.

How to find differences between two columns

Hello I need the formula to spot differences between two columns and to write on a third one if the same name appear on the two columns.
For example:
rome berlin true
berlin moscow false
chicago toronto true
toronto chicago true
florence
Thanks
Lorenzo

You should be able to use COUNTIF where the range is th first column and the condition is the word in the second column. If the result is greater than zero then the word is in both columns.

Find difference between two vectors ?

Hi,
I have two vectors, the first contains:
v1.add("1");
v1.add("2");
the second:
v2.add("1");
Now I want to print out the difference between both.
Does anybody have en idea ?
Regards
Micha

Yep, that should definitely do it. I think the point ssav is trying to make is that to solve this problem we need to know your actual requirements. "the difference between" is too vague. Here are some things to think about:
- Is position important? That is, is a List containing 1 and 2 the same as a List containing 2 and 1 or different?
- If List A contains 1,2,4,5,6 and List B contains 1,2,3,4,5,6 what would you want to see?
- What if List A contains 1,2,3 and List B 1,2,2,3?
- What if List A contains 1,2,3 and Lits B 1,2,and a java.lang.NullPointerException?
You're probably starting to see that this is not as simple as you thought. Come back with more specific requirements and you may get better help.

How to find differene between two time fields??

Hi Experts,
I am trying to find difference between two time fields, I have created two formula variables by using replacement path for the two time fields, I have taken dimension key NUMBER, because of this time format is converting to numbers for example if the time is 13:20:10 then it is converting to 1,32,010 then it is calculating, I am getting wrong values.
Is there any options to find out the difference between two time fields.
Thanks in advance,
Venkat.

use COPF_DETERMINE_DURATION. Its better you do it in data model itself.
If you have date and time seperately use command
use CONVERT TIMESTAMP command and
then use this function module to get the difference in
timestamp
CCU_TIMESTAMP_DIFFERENCE
us this in conjunction with the below function module
DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES

Difference between two files

Hi, I need to find difference between two files.
This is an example:
oldfile.txt:
This is the old file.
I need some help with
this task!.
newfile.txt:
This is the new file.
I need help with this task please!.
Differences:
* old -> new
* need -> need
* "some" was deleted
* please was added
Notice that I don't care spaces, new lines or tabs.
The code should looks like:
enum DifferenceType { Added, Deleted, Replaced };
class DiffText {
public String Text;
public DifferenceType Type;
public String ReplacedText;
Diff d = new Diff("oldfile.txt","newfile.txt");
while(!d.end()) {
    DiffText dtext = d.getNext();
   String s = "";
    switch(s.Type) {
      case Added:       System.out.println(s.Text + " ~ added");
      case Deleted:    System.out.println(s.Text + " ~ deleted");
      case Replaced: System.out.println(s.Text + " replaced by " + s.ReplacedText);
}Thanks for your help in advance.

Suppose you have two arrays filled with integers.
What you want to do is map the integers from one
array to the other.
In your example, your arrays would look like:
this is the old file i need some help with this task
[0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 10]
this is the new file i need help with this task please
[0 1 2 11 4 5 6 8 9 0 10 12]
Here, I've assumed you've removed all punctuation and
new line characters, and changed to lowercase.
The easiest way is to walk through the arrays greedily.
However, you may be able to research algorithms that
do a better job of matching.

you could try something similar to this, for each table pair that you want to compare:
SELECT 'TABLE_A has these columns that are not in TABLE_B', DIFF.*
FROM (
        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns
         WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_A'
         MINUS
        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns
         WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_B'
      ) DIFF
UNION
SELECT 'TABLE_B has these columns that are not in TABLE_A', DIFF.*
FROM (
        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns
         WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_B'
         MINUS
        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns
         WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_A'
      ) DIFF;that's assuming, column_name, data_type and data_length are all you want to compare on.

Extract Time from date and Time and Need XLMOD Funtion to find the Difference between Two Time.

X6 = "1/5/15 5:16 AM" & NOW ....................difference by Only Time
not date
X6 date and Time will be changing, Its not Constant
Dim myDateTime As DateTime = X6
            Dim myDate As String = myDateTime.ToString("dd/MM/yy")
            Dim myTime As String = myDateTime.ToString("hh:mm tt")
            Dim myDateTime1 As DateTime = Now
            Dim myDate1 As String = myDateTime1.ToString("dd/MM/yy")
            Dim myTime1 As String = myDateTime1.ToString("hh:mm tt")
Need to use this function to find the Difference between Two Time. due to 12:00 AM isuue
Function XLMod(a, b)
    ' This replicates the Excel MOD function
    XLMod = a - b * Int(a / b)
End Function
Output Required
dim dd = XLMod(myTime - myTime1)
Problem is myTime & myTime1 is String Need to convert them into Time, Later use XLMOD Funtion.

Induhar,
As an addendum to this, I thought I'd add this in also: If you have two valid DateTime objects you might consider using a class which I put together a few years ago
shown on a page of my website here.
To use it, just instantiate with two DateTime objects (order doesn't matter, it'll figure it out) and you'll then have access to the public properties. For this example, I'm just showing the .ToString method:
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Option Infer Off
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
Dim date1 As DateTime = Now
Dim date2 As DateTime = #1/1/1970 2:35:00 PM#
Dim howOld As New Age(date1, date2)
MessageBox.Show(howOld.ToString, "Age")
Stop
End Sub
End Class
I hope that helps, if not now then maybe at some point in the future. :)
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.
Thanx frank, can use this in Future....
