Formula definition if value is 0

Dear Folks,
To define the formula, I need to check the value first, if it is 0 then result should be 0 otherwise need to define the formula in formula definition area.
Please advise on this.
Thanks,
Ram

Try this.
The definition of the formula would be (field <> 0) * (The formula)
If it is not equal to 0, then the field <> 0 will return 1 and it is multiplied with the formula. So the result will be the formula value.
If it is equal to 0 then the field <> 0 will return 0, when multiplied with the formula it will be 0. So the result will be 0.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Meghana

REP-2103: PL/SQL formula returned invalid value or no value

Hi all,
Before clone the report GEPS FA Prepare Mass Addition Report runs fine. But after cloned from production, it shows error:
Enter Password:
REP-0004: Warning: Unable to open user preference file.
REP-2103: Column 'G_MASS_ADDITION_INVOICE' : PL/SQL formula returned invalid value or no value.
REP-0069: Internal error
REP-57054: In-process job terminated:Terminated with error:
REP-2103: Column 'G_MASS_ADDITION_INVOICE' : PL/SQL formula returned invalid value or no value.
Actually I didn't have such column 'G_MASS_ADDITION_INVOICE'. This is a group name. I tried a lot, such as widden the formula column width or delete the formula column, but it still show this error. I didn't have any trigger or other formula column. Even I create a new report use the same name with a single query( select sysdate from dual), but it still shows the same error.
Is there anyone faced this issue before or can help me ? Thanks

Categorize a table with more than 500 formulas or unique values.

How comes you can't categorize a table with more than 500 formulas or unique values? Can you change this?

This error appears in GeoServer and SQLPLUS.
I have set up a completly new database installation to test this error and everything works fine. I tried it again on the previous database but I still get the same error. I also tried to restart the database, but with no luck, the error is still there. I geuss something is wrong with the database installation.
Anyone knows what could cause an error like this "End of TNS data channel"?

Modify MVGR4 in formula for condition value

Hello everyone,
I want to modify komp-mvgr4 in a formula for condition value. Changes in komp structure are not saved, any idea which field I have to modify?
Many thanks!
Andreas

Sure. I have a new formula for a condition value which checks a lot of things to calculate the condition value. The result can also be zero. In all other cases than zero, I want to set an additional flag on the position to show that the condition is used. For this I choosed the material group 4. Now I have to modify the materialgroup 4 MVGR4 in the formula, if I change komp-mvgr4 is does not save the changes...

If..then formula requiring numeric values

Post Author: scd07
CA Forum: Formula
I have the need to create a formula that will analyze one field in order to determine the value of another field. Below is a formula that follows the correct logic, but as it is a Boolean formula, it returns a True/False answer, instead of the correct (numeric) data. I do not know how to rephrase the formula that will return the numeric value.
if {TLORDER.BILL_NUMBER} = previous ({TLORDER.BILL_NUMBER}) then {TLORDER.TOTAL_CHARGES} = 0 else {TLORDER.TOTAL_CHARGES} = {TLORDER.TOTAL_CHARGES}
I appreciate any help! Thank you!

Ok, this formula also works well, and I can now go in and create a Running total. But again, I barely know what I am doing! Here is what I put in the formula:
Whileprintingrecords;Currencyvar Amount;
if {LEGSUM.LS_TRIP_NUMBER}={LEGSUM.LS_TRIP_NUMBER} then Amount := Amount + {@Total Charges}
This is providing a running total of the Last entry for each group. It is not totaling All the records within the group. I certainly appreciate your help with this. I am actually a network person being impressed into reporting duty, and I am definitely experiencing "Trial by fire". Thanks!

In Report formula, IF no values then It is showing "0" (Zero)

Hi,
I have created a formula in Report. If the values are there then it is showing correct value. If no values for eg: blank + blank = 0, I want blank is required "SPACE" or " #" not the ZERO in the report .
Regards,
Satish
Edited by: Satish Dora on Sep 9, 2010 8:05 PM

Hi,
I am not sure whether "display zero as" and "display blank as" is the same thing.
I thought "display zero as" only controls the zero values and doesn't control the blank.
Actually I think the author wants to distinguish zero and blank.
If display both zero and blank as blank, I am not sure whether it's what he wants.
Now that I check it in my system, it seems that blanks are still shown as blank though "Does not exist" setting is something else.
This "Does not exist" seems to still be different than blank.
Blank means there is no record in Infoprovider for certain restriction in my sample.
What is the blank in your case, Satish?

Variable used in FOx formula should get value from user

Hi Gurus,
In my fox formula I want to multiply a keyfigure (say quantity) with a factor. For example if the factor is 10 then all records should get multiplied by 10.
But the requirement is user shpuld be able to give the factor that should be multiplied. That is the l_factor used in the fox function should be a variable which gets value from user. I know we can give variables in filter and planning functions in IP. But can we give values in Fox formula.
I would really appreciate the time and effort.
Thanking you,
Jerry Jerome

Hello,
May be you can try this solution.
I think you have create a dummy character info-object(Z_Number) of same data type interget number.Create variable for Z_Number and restrict in filter(ZV_NUM).
DATA Z_MAT TYPE 0Material.
DATA Z_NUM TYPE Z_NUMBER.
DATA Z_NUM_READ TYPE I.(Declate same as data type for Z_Number)
Z_NUM = VARV(ZV_NUM).
FORACH Z_MAT.
Z_NUM_READ = Z_NUM.
{Z_KF1,Z_MAT} = Z_NUM_READ * {Z_KF1,Z_MAT}.
ENDFOR.

Customer Exit Variable in formula to get values for multiple keyfigures

Hi to all,
I have query as defined in following scenario:
CHAR_X     C_KF1 (based on KF1)     C_KF2 (based on KF2)     u2026     C_KFn (based on KFn)
Value1
Value2
u2026
Valuem
C_KF = calculated key figure
I need to create a customer exit variable that will search through selection e.g. CHAR_X/KF1 and give some result. I need this variable for every keyfigure (KF1-KFn). Using customer exit variable is the only solution.
My question is: do I have to create formula variable (customer exit) representing every keyfigure separately (VAR1 u2013 VARn, like in below example)?
CHAR_X     C_KF1 (using VAR1)     C_KF2 (using VAR2)     u2026     C_KFn (using VARn)
Value1
Value2
u2026
Valuem
Or is it possible to create one general formula variable since the way to retrieve the value in variable is always the same (like in below example)? In this case, how do I pass the value of the respective keyfigure to this variable?
CHAR_X     C_KF1 (using VAR_X)     C_KF2 (using VAR_X)     u2026     C_KFn (using VAR_X)
Value1
Value2
u2026
Valuem
Thanks for your replies, points will be awarded!
Cheers

That is my concern, the value of variable is not the same.
What variable should do is:
take KF1 id, go through values for CHAR_X, get back one value
This value would always be different, and also "KF" part in code of variable should be different, based on the column where the variable is being used (so, in column C_KF1 ,variable should "pick up" id of KF1, etc.).
I hope it makes it more clear. For now, I do not have the code for variable yet, I am just interested in concept whether it is possible to pass the ID of keyfigure dynamically so I can make decision how to model this request.
Thanks

Fox formula - Copy variable value to a characteristic in IP

Hi All,
I have to copy the value of a variable to a characteristic in Fox formula in IP. In this scenario I am forecasting data using copy function. Whenever new data is copied I need to save it as a new version. So in the fox formula I have mentioned only 'version' as the field to be changed. I get the value of version automatically from a function module. In BPS I think it is possible but I am using IP.
Example.
Copied data
Customer Material Version Year Qty
c1            m1          0           2012 10
c2            m2          0           2012 20
c3            m3          0           2012   15
This is the reference data got as a result of copy function. In the code I get the version computed from a function module in variable fm_version.
I wrote the logic like this.
data lv_version type version.
foreach lv_version.
{0quant_b, lv_version} = {0quant_b, fm_version}
endfor.
When it is execute it is showing error as records changed and deleted.
Is it the correct method or is there any other workaround.
I would realyt appreciate your time and effort.
Thanking you,
Jerry Jerome

Hello,
You can use either standard copy function or fox formula.
So here I need to make the version as 1 since it is forecasted for the first time. I am trying to do it with a fox formula. In the fox formula I am trying to change the characteristic value of version from 0 to 1.
You can not change the characteristic value of version from 0 to 1. The copy function or fox formula will copy the key figures from version 0 to 1.
For example:
The transaction data contains data like -
customer     material            year     version    qty
c1                 m1            2012     0           10
c2                 m2            2012     0            5
After copy you will get both version like this
customer     material            year     version    qty
c1                 m1            2012        0        10
c2                 m2            2012        0         5
c1                 m1            2012        1        10
c2                 m2            2012        1         5
Thanks.

XSl formula for pulling values based on parameters or query strings

Hello,
I have a custom list in SharePoint
List Column/Fields (any time a new item is created these are the fields that need values)
Machine = ID2
SpecLabel = text string value
SpecValue = text string value
Using DataFormWebPart
I Filter values by Machine by creating a parameter with a query string as its source.
And pull the values
<xsl:value-of select="@SpecLabel" />
<xsl:value-of select="@SpecValue" />
On the browser I add the parameter to the URL sting to filter each machine ID.
?=Machine=1
Back in the XSL i use the same parameter to pull the value of the string as my header title.
<xsl:value-of select="$paramMachine"/>
Problem
I need a formula that will pull just the the SpecValue data for a specific item.
Example: I have thee items below and I need to just pull the “SpecValue” for the Built Year which is 2014.
Machine = 1
SpecLabel = Speed
SpecValue = 10
Machine = 1
SpecLabel = Color
SpecValue = Red
Machine = 1
SpecLabel = Built YearSpecValue = 2014
Any Suggestion?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to the formula to filter a list item.
You can create the formula similar like below.
<xsl:variable name="Rows" select="/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row[@City = 'Abington']"/>

Numbers 2.3 file opens in Numbers 3.0 with some formulas replaced by values

Have others seen this effect? If so please post the expression that wouldn't import.
The formula that imported as a value here is:
=IF(ROW()-1<=MAX(TimeLog::D), INDEX(TimeLog, MATCH(ROW()-1, TimeLog::D), 2), "")
Maybe we can find a common element.
Thanks,
Jerry

I haven't noticed that values substitution case, but I have noticed that you can no longer reference an entire table in INDEX by just using the table name. Formerly you could write =INDEX(Data, 2,2) to reference Data :: B2.
Now you would write =INDEX(Data::A:B,2,2), or =INDEX(Data::B, 1,2)

Conditional formula using NULL values

Hi Experts,
Here's the background using Query Designer.
V1 = Formula Variable - Rep Path - converting master data attribute value into "number" (eg, attribute "status" = 02 becomes the number 2)
RKF1 = Sales for Day 1
RKF2 = Sales for Day 2
CKF1 = (V1 = 2) * RKF1
CKF2 = (V1 = 2) * RKF2
CKF3 = (CKF1 <> NULL) * (CKF2 <> NULL) * (CKF1 % CKF2)
My issue is with CKF3 where I need to void the entire formula for that row if EITHER CKF1 or CKF2 values are NULL. I know in other reporting tools they have a "IS NULL" or "IS NOT NULL" operator but I know Query Designer does not. Are there any ways around this? This is something that needs to be dynamic which is why we can't calculate this during load time. The values will differ depending on the variables assigned so the NULL solution seems to be the only way around this.

RKF1 = Sales for Day 1
RKF2 = Sales for Day 2
CKF1 = (V1 = 2) * RKF1
CKF2 = (V1 = 2) * RKF2
CKF3 = (CKF1 NULL) * (CKF2 NULL) * (CKF1 % CKF2)
In CKF3, you mean (RKF1 % RKF2) right? Other wise it doesnt make sense.
Could you please state what is required?
So - the formula is correct CKF3 = (CKF1 != NULL) * (CKF2 != NULL) * (CKF1 % (percentage share) CKF2)
So if CKF1 is null, then it makes the formula equal 0. Same thing with CKF2 - if CKF2 is NULL, then it makes the formula equal 0. Which makes 0 % 0 equal 0% which is what I want (if either CKF1 or CKF2 are null).

Need help with formula that puts values in Field1 based on value of field2

I have two custom fields in the Contact record - Date met and Time Known. Date met is a standard date field that is entered by the user. I then wanted Time Known to automatically populate with specific values based on a formula I wrote. However, the formula/function is not working properly.
I'm also not sure if this should be a pre or post field formula, field validation, or workflow. Please help! Here's the formula I have so far. It worked for a new record created, but now doesn't work at all for some reason (probably from my testing).
IIf(Today()-[<dResearch_Date_ITAG>]<365,"Less than One Year",IIf(Today()-[<dResearch_Date_ITAG>]<1095,"One to Three Years", IIf(Today()-[<dResearch_Date_ITAG>]<1825,"Three to Five Years",IIf(Today()-[<dResearch_Date_ITAG>]<3650,"Five to Ten Years","Ten Plus Years"))))
This says the following:
If Date Met is less than 365 from today, then enter "Less than One Year" into the Time Known field;
if date met is less than 1095 (but greater than 365) days from today, then enter "One to Three Years"
if date met is less than 1825 (but greater than 1095) days from today, then enter "Three to Five Years"
if date met is less than 3650 (but greater than 1825) days from today, then enter "Five to Ten Years"
otherwise, enter "Ten Plus Years" for all values greater than 3650.
What am I doing wrong? I'm new to expressions and formulas in Oracle.

Hi, You have to do @ 2 places. For setting the field value @ the time of creating a new record using the field default feature. Check post default as the calculated value is dependent on some other field that you are going to set @ the time of creation. For updating the field whenever the record is modified, use workflows

Chart formula with time values

I am trying to create a chart with time values and have a formula where the time in cell A1 (6:15) is subtracted from time in cell A2 (17:23). When I enter the formula (=a2-a1) I am told the operator expects a number and that the cells contain strings. Any hints on how to do this formula?
Thanks
Pete

Hello ComPete,
welcome to the Pages Discussions. There is no easy way in Pages to calculate time like you want to have. In Pages you have to use values with the normal floating point separator (In Germany we have the comma. I think in Canada you have the dot, right?). But you type a colon into the field. Pages knows no time stamp as a calculating value.
To get this to work, you have to place the hour value, the colon sign and the minute value into their own table cell. Than you have to calculate the hour and the minute of one time stamp into minutes. Do this for the second time stamp, too. Store the minute values into a their own cells and hide the values (make them transparent). Now calculate the two minutes values so you have one value and recalculate the result to hours and minutes. now write that to the result cells with a colon between them.
You see, this is a huge expense to get what you want and it is not very practical.
