Group  By with Case Statement

Hi
I have a query that I would like to return a different group by list dependent on a bind variable being passed in ? It seems easy but I cannot figure it out>
Example 1 if the :P380_COURIER_TYPE ='All'  I would like the group by to be "group by tour"  -- one column
Example 2 if the :P380_COURIER_TYPE <>'All' I would like the group by to be "group by tour,exp_del_channel"   --2 columns
select
Tour as "Tour"
,Exp_del_channel as "Courier Type"   -- this can be removed from the select statement as it is not required in the report.
,sum(pan_only) as "Pan Only"
from
VW_VOLUME_PREADVICE_REPORT vpa
where (:P380_COURIER_TYPE ='All' or exp_del_channel =:P380_COURIER_TYPE)
group by tour,exp_del_channel

untested
select
Tour as "Tour"
,nvl(case when :P380_COURIER_TYPE<>'ALL' then exp_del_channel end,'ALL') as "Courier Type"   -- this can be removed from the select statement as it is not required in the report.
,sum(pan_only) as "Pan Only"
from
VW_VOLUME_PREADVICE_REPORT vpa
where (:P380_COURIER_TYPE ='All' or exp_del_channel =:P380_COURIER_TYPE)
group by tour, case when :P380_COURIER_TYPE<>'ALL' then exp_del_channel end

  • 11g outer join with case statement - strange results.

    Hello All,
    I am experiencing a strange issues in 11g while using case statement.
    I am not able to reproduce this using sample data. Not sure what is wrong.
    I am not narrowing it to say the usage of case statemnt is giving wrong results, but that is my observation when I am doing trail and error testing.

  • Using Presentation variables..along with case statements..

    Hi All.
    I have a issue using presentation variable along with CASE statements. My approach is
    1) I have a dashboard prompt, which is being set as Presentation variable.
    Based on the value selected in prompt, for ex the values of prompt can be 'ABC' and 'DEF'.
    I have a calculated column, the calculation goes this way...
    The forumal is
    CASE WHEN @{Presentation Variable Name} = 'ABC' THEN xxxxxxxxxx ELSE IF @{Presentation Variable Name} = 'DEF' END. It gives error of "no table being referenced"..
    Is this is the right approach??
    Can i get the values of variable in a column formula, so that a column can have values selected in prompt?
    Can anybody pls help me here..
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi
    Thanks for the quick response..
    I agree to ur point..
    But the requirement is
    Based on the value of the prompt I need to switch the calculation in one of the formula area of one column..
    If Prompt value is ABC then one kind of calculation in Fx and If the prompt value is DEF then one kind of calculation in the same Fx..
    How can I acheive this?
    Thanks in advance..

  • SQL Expression Field - Combine Declared Variable With Case Statement

    Hello All, I have been using Crystal & Business Objects for a few months now and have figured out quite a bit on my own. This is the first real time I have struggled with something and while I could do this as a Formula Field I would like to know how to do this as a SQL Expression. Basically I want to create a SQL Expression that uses a CASE statement but I wanted to make the code a little more efficient and employ a variable to hold a string and then use the variable in the CASE statement. The expression editor accepts the CASE statement OK but I don't know how to declare the variable. Please assist with the syntax?
    This is what I have:
    CASE
       WHEN u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D = u2018Hu2019 THEN u2018Hedgeu2019
       WHEN u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D = u2018Pu2019 THEN u2018PVIu2019
       ELSE u2018Noneu2019
    END
    This is what I want:
    DECLARE strVar AS VARCHAR(25)
    strVar =  u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D
    CASE
       WHEN strVar = u2018Hu2019 THEN u2018Hedgeu2019
       WHEN strVar = u2018Pu2019 THEN u2018PVIu2019
       ELSE u2018Noneu2019
    END

    Hi Todd,
    Please use the following for loop; your problem will be solved.
    Local StringVar str := "";
    Local NumberVar strLen := Length ({Database.Field});
    Local NumberVar i;
    For i := 1 To strLen Do
           if {Database.Field} <i> = "H" then str := "Hedge"
            else if {Database.Field} <i> = "P" then str := "PVI"
            else str := "None"; exit for
    str
    Let me know once done!
    Thank you,
    Ashok

  • Problem with Case statement

    I friends,
    I am using a case statement for a number field like this
    case when (customer_no is null or customer_no ='') then t.customer_no else gv.customer_no end as customer_no
    When i complie this i get an errror ORa-00932 inconsistent data types expected char got number....
    when i remove the case statement the query runs fine so i am sure its the case statement thats wrong here..Am i checking it the wrong way...

    Thank you in advancewith Oracle strings are enclosed in single quote marks
    so Oracle is confused & unhappy with line below
    customer_no =''
    since CUSTOMEER_NO is a NUMBER
    why do you compare number to a string?

  • Handling Exceptions with case statement - convert Exception to int value

    Hi,
    I'm developing a web app, with servlets.
    I'm catching Exceptions in my servlets, for example I would like a user to insert data into a form. If the data cannot be converted into a integer value a java.lang.NumberormatException is thrown.
    I would like to catch this and then create a message giving a more specific clue to what happened. Unfortunatly it's possible that other exceptions could be caught, so I want to be able to check which type of Exception has been caught.
    I started writing a getErrorMessage(int Code) class. The method has a case statement which just checks the code and return the appropriate message.
    This worked well for SQL exceptions as they provide a getErrorCode method. But I was wondering is there any way to convert other Exceptions such as
    java.lang.NumberormatException into an integer value?
    Cheers

    Exceptions have their types (classes) and messages (and maybe an embedded exception). That is, they have much richer internal status then an integer.
    Why should they be "converted" to integers?

  • How to use Substring function with Case statement.

    Hello Everyone,
    I have one requirement where I have to use substring function on the field for report criteria.
    E.G.
    I have Branch Name Field where I have all branch names information, Now some of the branch names are too big with some extension after the name .
    now i want to substing it but the character length varies for each branch.
    so is there any way where we can use case statement where we can define that if branch name character are exceeding some value then substing it with this length.

    Try something like this:
    CASE WHEN LENGTH(tablename.Branch_Name) > n THEN SUBSTRING(...) ELSE tablename.Branch_Name END
    where n is the number of characters you want to start the break.

  • Update with case statement problem.

    Hi,
    I have this statement
    update tab_tr set col_rate =
      case
      when col_ern_type in ('031','035','036') then (1.5 * col_rate)
      when col_ern_type in ('041','045','046') then (2 * col_rate)
    end;this statement updated some 2 million rows in the table tab_tr. But the total count of rows for col_ern_type in ('031','035','036', '041','045','046') yeild only around 222642 rows.
    select count(*) from tab_tr where col_ern_type in ('031','035','036', '041','045','046');  --> 222642 rowswhat is the problem with the above update statement.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    DBA_1976 wrote:
    ... I thought the case statement conditions are counted as the where condition. But ......A CASE expression just takes the place of some other expression, such as a literal, a function, or a column.
    For example, which rows do you think this should update?
    UPDATE  tab_tr
    SET     col_rate  = 100;It would update all rows, of course.
    How about this statement?
    UPDATE  tab_tr
    SET     col_rate  = column_x;Will it only change the rows where column_x are a certain value, or not NULL, or in any way depend on column_x? No, of course not. It will update all rows.
    How about this statement?
    UPDATE  tab_tr
    SET     col_rate  = function_y (col_ern_type);Will it only change the rows where the fucntion returns a certain value? Will it depend on the value in col_ern_type? No, of course not. It calls the function for each row, and whatever the function returns (even if the function returns NULL), that's what goes into col_rate on each row.
    A CASE expression is just something that you can substitute in place of any other expression, such as the literal 100, or the column column_x, or the function function_y in the statements above. Naturally, the value that gets put into col_rate will depend on what the CASE expression returns, but the behavior of the UPDATE statement as a whole will not.

    welcome to the forum, could you please share the table structure and some sample data and also what your select statement is. This will help people come up with solution faster and also it would avoid going in loops.

  • CLOB with case statement not working getting error

    Can anyone help on this
    I write this sql
    select Case when to_clob(PROPERTY) = 'is_intradesk=Y' then 'Internal' end
    from JPM_CP;
    Where PROPERTY column is clob column and its giving the error "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB"
    Is it not possible to use clob columns with case or decode !

    Its working but it does not fulfill my purpose
    In you answer it is looking for position right! means, does the column contain the value('Intradesk=Y' ) or not. means
    I am looking for exact match with CLOB column values, that is Clob column(PROPERTY) contains the exact value that value which I am comparing with i.e 'Intradesk=Y'
    I need this
    select * from table where clob_column = 'value' (exact).
