Have to create logical measure column - Help need

Question

Hi Gurus,
I have a situation like this below. A service request may have activity subtype as breakfix, startup etc. A service request may have only one breakfix or breakfix with additional subtypes like startup etc.
Ex:
Service Request # Activity subtype 2nd subtype
1 breakfix none
2 breakfix startup
3 breakfix none
4 breakfix startup
5 breakfix startup
How do i write a case statement to find out only breakfix as subtype (2) and nbr of service requst with breakfix and other type as 5.
Please guide me how to write.

Your requirement would have been better with an example.
I'm writing actual SQL for ease - you'll need to convert
SELECT        CASE WHEN activity_subtype = 'breakfix' THEN
                               CASE WHEN 2nd_subtype = 'startup' THEN
                                       1
                               END
              END count_breakfix_startup,
              CASE WHEN activity_subtype = 'breakfix' THEN
                               CASE WHEN 2nd_subtype = 'startup' THEN
                                       0
                               ELSE
                                       1
                               END
              END count_breakfix_none
FROM table...You'd need to switch to OBIEE CASE <<expression>> WHEN <<expression>> THEN <<expression>> END syntax. and you will have to hard code every subtype/2nd subtype combination.. (or use a repository variable).
