Finding the nearest value.

Hi Gurus,
I have an internal table with values country code and current price and using a selection screen i get a price, now i need to pick a value from the table which is nearest to the one in the screen. How do i achieve this logic? All help regarding this is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

give 10 as input and execute this program
parameters:valin type p.
data:begin of itab occurs 0,
      val type p decimals 2,
     end of itab.
itab-val = '10.13'.
append itab.
itab-val = '14.13'.
append itab.
itab-val = '9.13'.
append itab.
itab-val = '4.13'.
append itab.
itab-val = '22.13'.
append itab.
sort itab descending.
loop at itab where val <= valin.
write itab-val.
exit.
endloop.

  • How to find the nearlest value in 1-D array ?

    Hi.. everybody..
    I need to seperate the raw data(1-D) into 2 group of array by the center value and then make the average value in each array. But I also still have the problem about if the center value is not the same of some value in the 1-D array. I cannot use the split function.
    "How to find the nearlest value to the center point that I calculated, in the 1-D array ?"
    Thanks a lot for anybody help

    In a general sense, since I'm not sure what your data values are or how far away your calculated center is from the true value, I would do it one of two ways:
    1) Use a threshold value and scan the array until the threshold is reached (assumes constantly increasing values in the array).
    2) Use either a) round to nearest integer b) round to + Infinity (round up) or c) round to - infinity (round down). If you don't have decimal values, you'll have to devide the values by a power of 10.

  • How to find the RGB Values of a Color for Hyperion

    When customizing your Hyperion forms, we come across situations where we need the exact RGB value of a given color. This article explains a simple technique to find the RGB values using MS Paint and the Calculator applications that come as standard applications with your operating system.
    Here are the steps to find the exact RGB value of a given color.
    1) View your Hyperion form using IE, scroll down until you see the color you want to find the RGB value and press the "Print Screen" button (in your keyboard).
    2) Open MS Paint and click Edit -> Paste or simply Ctrl+V. What you saw in the browser will be copied as a new untitled image.
    3) Select the Color Picker tool and click on an area that has the color you want to match.
    4) Now go to Edit Colors... option and click on the "Define Custom Colors >>" button. The color you picked will be selected on this palette. At the bottom right hand corner you will see the Red, Green and Blue values you need. Note down the R,G,B values (given in decimal).
    5) Now we need to find out the hexa-decimal values that correspond to those decimal values. This is where we use the simple Calculator. Open the Calculator application from Program -> Accessories. Switch to the scientific mode by clicking View ->Scientific.
    6) By default it will be in the decimal number mode. Enter the R value (238 in this example) and click on the Hex radio button. The corresponding hexa-decimal value (EE in this case) will be shown in the dial.
    The selected color in this case has the same value for R, G and B. (In fact, all shades of gray has the same values for R, G and B.) Therefore, the RGB value of the background color that we need is #eeeeee. Repeat step 6 to find out the hex value for the Green and Blue elements, if they are different.
    Tip:
    If you find it difficult to pick a color, zoom the image by pressing Ctrl+PageDown or using View -> Zoom -> Custom... option.

    These tips are to find the RGB color of HFM default row where row is text and text lines in data columns are also visible to business users as Yellow as an input cell. By applying the same RGB color you can apply the same color to your data cells or rows. This post shows how to identify color from any web view-able object.

  • How to find the PREVIOUS value of a non-DB item?

    I want to do a simple thing but found it impossible.
    I want to find the previous value of a non-DB item in a form.
    I tried creating a text item and populating it using PRE-TEXT-ITEM but that does not work.
    WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM does not work either because WVI fires only after item value has changed.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I find the closest value to a constant in an array

    I have an array of floating numbers and I want to find a value in that array that is closest to a floating constant.     For example if I have the array 5.9, 2.8, 3.7, 5.8, 6.9, and if I have the constant 5.4, how would I find the closest value to 5.4 in the array, which in this case would be 5.8. The only approach I can think of is to subtract each value in the array from 5.8 and find the minimum value of an array which would be created from the differences. Is there a better approach?
    Thank you.

    Just be sure to take the absolute value of the difference and your proposed method is fine.

    Couple of points about your code:
    1. Don't declare your instance variables as solid types, declare them using their interfaces (where applicable), so in your case don't specifiy that you are using Vector or Hashtable, use List and Map. This will allow you to easily change your code to use a different collection, if and when appropriate. Also the unnecessary overhead of Vectors synchronisation means that you should use ArrayList instead of vector (that means that you will have to use get(int) instead of elementAt() but that's a very small price to pay.
    2. Declare local variables as close to their point of usage as possible. (Unless you need to do this for your course work, in which case you don't have a choice).
    3. Use the appropriate data type. For your count of null values you should be using an int or a long (you can't have a fractional count value!) Also, this should have been obvious to you, when you had to cast the value to an int for use with your lists. (Using double as an index is a very bad idea... And before you go posting the question, do a search on why floating point precision may not give you the results you expect)
    4. Code defencively... e.g. in your meanDouble() method, you set nonNull to 0, and then you do a division using that value. What do you think is going to happen if your loop doesn't execute once? Division by zero... You should handle these cases, rather than letting them fail ignominiously.
    5. If you are doing code like this...    if (currentDouble != null) {
            // / nothing to do
        } else {
            nbNull++;
        } Why have the empty block? You should just do the inverse.
        if (currentDouble == null) {
            nbNull++;
        } Far simpler, and expresses exactly what you are trying to do, not what you are not trying to do.
    6. Enumeration --- What version of java is that course being run in? I can see that you are using autoboxing, so it has to be 1.5 so, WHY is your lecturer encouraging the use of Vectors, Hashtables, and Enumerations!?!?!
    Anyway, that should be enough to be going on with.

  • Finding the largest values of an array without using if condition

    Hi,
    I am trying to find the largest values of an array without using any if condition. Can any one tell me the solution for that..
    Thanks

    I am trying to find the largest values of an arrayThe 'S' to values suggests that you want not only the largest one, but multiple ones among the largest ones. The best way, I think, is to sort the array, so that its largest values are grouped topgether. If the type is already Comparable, the following single line does the job:
    Collections.sort(myArray);After this, the last values of the array are the largest ones.

    I'm not too clear on what you mean by "nearest", but I suspect that you might need some analytics function for this, ordering the proper way your data, and the lag function. Here's the manual for 10G: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14223/analysis.htm#sthref1755
    Tom Kyte (asktom.oracle.com) is the master of analytics, if you want examples.

  • Finding the max value

    Hi team,
    I have the following query where i need to find the max value
    [code]
      with t as  (
       select 'L1' R_nm ,'Data' R_Data , 'Obj' R_Obj , 'Wd' r_prec , '2' val  from dual
       union all
       select 'L1' , 'Data', 'Obj' , 'No', '4' from dual
    union all
       select 'L2' , 'Data', 'Obj' , 'No', '4' from dual )
       select t.*, max(val) over(partition by r_nm,r_data,r_obj)  rk from t
    [/code]
      My expected output should be
    [code]
    r_nm    r_data     r_obj   r_prec   val     rk
    L1        Data         Obj     Wd       2       1
    L1        Data         Obj     No       4        2
    L2        Data         Obj     Yes      1       1
    [/code]
    Thank You

    Hi,
    It looks like you're not interested in the MAX at all.  It looks like you want to rank the rows, such that the one with the lowest value is assigned the number 1, the row with the 2nd lowest values gets 2, ..., and the row with the N-th lowest value gets N.  If doesn't matter if the MAX is 4, or 2, or 420.
    Here's one way to do that:
    SELECT    t.*
    ,         RANK () OVER ( PARTITION BY  r_nm, r_obj
                             ORDER BY      val
                           )  AS rk
    FROM      t
    ORDER BY  r_nm, r_obj
    ,         val
    Depending on how you want to deal with ties, you might want to use ROW_NUMBER or DENSE_RANK instead of RANK.

  • SQL for rounding to the nearest value

    Hi All,
    My Oracle DB version is 10g Release2 and also 11gR1
    I have data like below, I need to write a SQL for the below requirement.
    ID   RANGE_LOW                RANGE_HIGH
    1      50                    55             
    2      55                    60
    3      60                    63 
    4      63                    77 
    5      77                    84   The requirement is like I need to check a value between the above range low and high then round it to the nearest value.
    Say, for example if I have 68 then the value is rounded to 63 else if 74 then 77 else if its in the middle of two values (70) then rounded to the highest value, here its 77.
    Please advice.

  • How to find the FND_PROFILE.VALUE(ORG_ID) in custom apex schema

    Hi,
    How to find the FND_PROFILE.VALUE('ORG_ID') from dual in custom schema......
    Actually I have integrated Apex 4.2 version with EBS r12
    select FND_PROFILE.VALUE('ORG_ID') from dual ; in apps schema I m getting 198 value
    but the same query(select  apps.FND_PROFILE.VALUE('ORG_ID') from dual ) in custom schema (XXCVBB) returning null value..
    Is there  any pre steps I have to do...
    kindly provide the useful inputs to retrieve the profile value..........
    Regards,
    Pavan

    Hi,
    fnd_profile.value('ORG_ID'); will fetch you value only if there is a organization assigned to any application [or only if its  a single Org], being it custom application you should have used set policy context or mo_global.init to populate the global temporary table which will hold all the Org's which that specific user has access too.
    in your custom code use MO_GLOBAL.SET_POLICY_CONTEXT('S','ORG ID WHICH YOU NEED TO SET');
    after setting the policy context, you should be able to see value from fnd_profile.value('ORG_ID');
    Hope this Helps!!
    MO_GLOBAL.SET_POLICY_CONTEXT
    This procedure has two parameters
    p_access_mode
    Pass a value "S" in case you want your current session to work against Single ORG_ID
    Pass a value of "M" in case you want your current session to work against multiple ORG_ID's
    p_org_id
    Only applicable if p_access_mode is passed value of "S"
    MO_GLOBAL.INIT
    Purpose of mo_global.init :-
    It will check if new Multi Org Security Profile is set, to decide if new Security Profile method will be used.
    If the new MO security profile is set, then mo_global.init inserts one record, for each Organization in Org Hierarchy, in table mo_glob_org_access_tmp

  • Finding the smallest value from an array

    Hi there :)
    I started learning Java a few days ago and have now run into my first problem :p
    I am using Netbeans on Mac OS X.
    I need to find the smallest value from an array. So far I've had no luck. Any suggestions would be fantastic.
    The code so far:

            System.out.println("The average of those numbers is " + C + ".");
            System.out.println("The smallest value in the array is " + D + ".");
    }The code is incomplete, but it works so far. The problem is I know there must be an easier way. SAVE ME :)

  • Finding the largest value...

    Hi guys,
    I'm creating a method where it finds the largest value in a list of integers, using a loop. When it finds it, it's stored in the "max" and returns the "max".
    Here's the code...
        public Integer findMax()
            List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(4,8,2,10,24);
            int max = 0;
            for(Integer i = 0 ; i < list.size() ; i++) {
                if(max == list.get(i))
                max = i;
            return max;
        }It complies, but when i run it, it doesn't actually get the largest value (which should be 24). It's still 0 when i Inspect it.
    Does anybody know where i'm going wrong with this?

    Well i went through the method and it seems to be printing 0 five times...
        public Integer findMax()
            List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(4,8,2,10,24);
            int max = 0;
            for(Integer i = 0 ; i < list.size() ; i++) {
                if(max >= list.get(i))
                max = list.get(i);
                System.out.println(max);
            return max;
        }After looking looking through the API, i used the length, instead of size, but when i compile the program it says it can't find the method. Do you know what else i have to change or add in the code for it to compile?

    if(max == list.get(i)) Can you explain, in words, what this comparison was meant to do?I've edited that, because that's wrong.

  • Finding the same value in different columns

    Hello,
    I am trying to figure out how I would go about finding the same value in the same row but in different columns. For example, in the table sometimes the report name is the same as the description. I would like to find all of the rows where this is the case.
    Thanks
    Report name
    Description
    Date
    Time
    Report 1
    Report 1

    tttt
    Report 2
    Billing Report
    dddd
    tttt
    Report 3
    Report 3

    tttt

    Hi,
    Is this what you want?
    SELECT  *       -- or whatever columns you want
    FROM    table_x
    WHERE   report_name = description
    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).
