Help with a CASE statement

Please help me with a CASE Statement:
- When ID = 15, 16, 17, 18 then "Bad"
- when ID = 19, then "Average"
- when ID = 21, then "Good"
- else "Null"
Thank you!!

Well the 1st thing to do would be to correct my poor spelling... change    Delault : to Default :
Don't know why you would get an error stating "The result of selection formula must be a boolean". It's working fine on my machine.
If your ID field is numbers stored text you have a couple different options...
1) Convert the ID to a number...
Select ToNumber({home.noone_ID})
2) Wrap the ID values in double quotes...
   Case "15", "16", "17", "18" :
      "BAD"
Even if this were your problem... the error should be something other than the boolean thing...

Help with multiple case statements

Hello,
I am new to BO. I am on XI 3.0. SQL 2005. In Designer, I am trying to create a measure in a financial universe that would end up being multiple case statements within one select. This is what I tried to do, but it doesn't work with the two case statements. Can I use an ELSE leading into the second CASE WHEN somehow? How can I accomplish this? Sorry for my ignorance!
CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month = 12 THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales END
CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month = 11 THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales END
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Holly

Holly,
I don't know enough about your data or requirement to provide a solution, however, the construct that you post will not work because it causes you to build an object with multiple case statements when only one case statement per object is permitted. From what I see in your code I would be inclined to combine the two statements into one as such:
CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month in (11,12) THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales else null END
Thanks,
John

Need some help with a case statement implementation

I am having trouble using a CASE statement to compare values and then display the results. The other issue is that i want to put these results in a separate column somehow.
Heres how the code would look:
SELECT "Task"."Code",
"Stat" = CASE WHEN "Task.Code" = 1 THEN string
....and so on
I wanted to make "Stat" the new column for the results, and string represents the string to be assigned if 1 was the value for code. I keep getting syntax error, any help would be nice.

This is a lot easier than you might think.
1) First, move another column of "Code" to your workspace.
2) Click on the fx button and then on the BINS tab.
3) Click on "Add BIN" and with the operand on "is equal to/is in," input 1 and then click "OK."
4) Name this what you had for "string."
Repeat for all the different values you want to rename as another "string" value.
5) Finally, check the "custom heading" checkbox, and rename this column "Stat" as you indicated.
That's it.

Help with Switch-Case Statement

How do you get this in a switch-case statement or work with it?
          if (age < 70) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "People that are below the 70s are nothing special.");
          else if (age > 69 && age < 80) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "People that are in their 70s are called septuagenarian.");
          else if (age > 79 && age < 90) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "People that are in their 80s are called octogenarian.");
          else if (age > 89 && age < 100) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "People that are in their 90s are called nonagenarian.");
          else (age > 99 && age < 110) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "People that are in their 100s are called centenarian.");
               }Thanks~

As per Java Specification, swtich case expects an integer and boolean cannot be used as param for switch.
In your case switch can be used like this.
int index = age /10;
switch(index) {
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
Your First case
break;
case 7:
your second case
break;
case 8:
third case
break;
case 9:
fourth case
break;
default:
fifth case
break;
Take note of the break statements. Its very important. But I wont prefer in this case. Code looks awkward and is not so meaningful.....

Help With A Case Statement With Multiple Variables

I apologize if this is the incorrect Forum for this type of question, but it was the closest one that I could find. I'm pretty new with SQL and am stuck on this issue. I have roughly 26 dates that I need to compare to one another. Each date is tied to a step code. I also have a Stop value that is tied directly to the "max date" of the step codes. So, I need to compare 30 dates against one another to 1st - ID the max date; 2nd - ID if the Stop value is correct; 3rd - if the stop value is incorrect, identify what the correct value would be.
At first, this seemed like it wouldn't be that hard. I wrote a query that found the max date for each step code. Then I realized that multiple step codes could have the same date. So, I tried using this case statement, but I did not get the expected results. Is there a more efficient way of getting what I need? This code seems like it's not necessary and probably the source of my issue.
CASE
WHEN FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS1.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS2.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS3.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS4.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS5.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS6.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS7.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS8.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS9.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS10.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS11.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS12.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS13.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS14.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS15.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS16.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS17.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS18.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS19.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS20.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS21.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS22.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS23.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS24.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND L.FORECLOSURE_STOP_CODE <= '8' THEN '9'
ELSE 'UH OH'
END AS "CHANGE FC STOP TO"
Any assistance is appreciated!

I think Igor pointed out a working solution before.
Applying it at your examples (you missed the operator after STOP_CODE, I assume it =):
CASE
WHEN FS25 = GREATEST(FS25, FS24, FS23) AND STOP_CODE = '9' THEN '9'
ELSE 'UH OH'
END AS 'CHANGE STOP CODE TO'
{code}
Be careful at the second example. You are checking:
{code:sql}
FS25 > FS24 OR FS25 IS NOT NULL AND FS24 IS NULL AND FS25 > FS23
OR
FS25 IS NOT NULL AND FS23 IS NULL AND STOP_CODE = '9'
{code}
Remember that AND has higher priority among operators than OR so if FS25 is greater than FS24 and FS23 the condition will be true even if STOP_CODE is not equal 9.
Regards.

then the new_status status column should be the APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV.
If not it should just be status (normal report column)
Hope I have explained properly

Your function had errors but maybe that was copy paste. The way you wrote your code is way to complicated. This should work for you:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_28_get_status (p_status IN VARCHAR2)
   RETURN NUMBER
AS
   v_status   NUMBER;
BEGIN
   IF    p_status IN
            ('TO_TABLE', 'ERROR_TABLE', 'TO_FILE', 'ERROR_FILE',
             'SEND_RENAME_OK')
      OR p_status LIKE '%SEND%'
   THEN
      v_status := 1;
   ELSE
      v_status := 0;
   END IF;
   RETURN v_status;
END fn_28_get_status;
SELECT OID OID,
          apex_item.md5_checksum (OID, jobid, gdc, status)
       || apex_item.hidden (2, OID)
       || apex_item.display_and_save (3, jobid) jobid,
       apex_item.display_and_save (4, gdc) gdc,
       apex_item.display_and_save (5, bday) bday, num_rows num_rows,
       status current_status,
       CASE
          WHEN fn_28_get_status (status) = 1
             THEN apex_item.select_list_from_lov
                                     (9,
                                      status,
                                      'WORKLOAD_STATUS_FULL_LIST',
                                      NULL,
                                      'YES',
                                      NULL,
                                      '-Select-'
          ELSE status
       END new_status
FROM scp_workload
WHERE jobid = :p28_jobidYou should not expect the others will debug you code. They don't have your objects to test.

Need help with this CASE statement

Hi everyone,
I would like to create a CASE that references another view and uses fields in that view to create a new field in a new view.
The fields I am working with are called LEVEL_CD and AVAILABLE_AMT.
In this case I would like to create a field called AVAILABLE_AMT (in my new view) that inserts the AVAILABLE_AMT from the old view into the new field only if the LEVEL_CD = 1. If the LEVEL_CD is anything else but 1 I would like to insert a 0 into my new
AVAILABLE AMOUNT field.
This is what I have so far and it doesn't seem to work:
CASE WHEN old_view.LEVEL_CD = 1 THEN old_view.AVAILABLE_AMT
WHEN old_view.LEVEL_CD <> 1 THEN 0 END AS AVAILABLE_AMT
This just gives me zeroes in every record. Can anybody spot what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

SELECT <columns>,CASE WHEN old_view.LEVEL_CD
=
1
THEN old_view.AVAILABLE_AMT
ELSE 0 END AS AVAILABLE_AMTFROM old_view.PK JOIN new_view.PK WHERE....PS.PK -Primary Key

Need help with the session state value items.

I need help with the session state value items.
Trigger is created (on After delete, insert action) on table A.
When insert in table B at least one row, then trigger update value to 'Y'
in table A.
When delete all rows from a table B,, then trigger update value to 'N'
in table A.
In detail report changes are visible, but the trigger replacement value is not set in session value.
How can I implement this?

You'll have to create a process which runs after your database update process that does a query and loads the result into your page item.
For example
SELECT YN_COLUMN
FROM My_TABLE
INTO My_Page_Item
WHERE Key_value = My_Page_Item_Holding_Key_ValueThe DML process will only return key values after updating, such as an ID primary key updated by a sequence in a trigger.
If the value is showing in a report, make sure the report refreshes on reload of the page.

Help with this update statement..

Hi everyone,
I am trying to update a column in a table .I need to update that column
with a function that takes patient_nbr and type_x column values as a parameter.
That table has almost "300,000" records. It is taking long time to complete
almost 60 min to 90 min.
Is it usual to take that much time to update that many records?
I dont know why it is taking this much time.Please help with this update statement.
select get_partner_id(SUBSTR(patient_nbr,1,9),type_x) partner_id from test_load;
(it is just taking 20 - 30 sec)
I am sure that it is not the problem with my function.
I tried the following update and merge statements .Please correct me if i am wrong
in the syntax and give me some suggestions how can i make the update statement fast.
update test_load set partner_id = get_partner_id(SUBSTR(patient_nbr,1,9),type_x);
merge into test_load a
using (select patient_nbr,type_x from test_load) b
on (a.patient_nbr = b.patient_nbr)
when matched
then
update
set a.partner_id = get_partner_id(SUBSTR(b.patient_nbr,1,9),b.type_x);
there is a index on patient_nbr column
and the statistics are gathered on this table.

Hi,
Never write, much less post, unformatted code.
Indent the code to show the extent of multi-line structures like BEGIN and CASE.
For example:
DECLARE
     /* Set supported version here */
     ora_version       VARCHAR2 (4);
     unsupp_version       EXCEPTION;
     /* Archive Log Info */
     db_log_mode      VARCHAR2 (12);
BEGIN
     SELECT     SUBSTR(VERSION, 1, 4)
     INTO     ora_version
     FROM     v$instance;
     SELECT     log_mode
     INTO     db_log_mode
     FROM     v$database;
     CASE
         WHEN ora_version = '10.2' THEN
          DECLARE
              TYPE t_db IS RECORD(
                         dflsh     VARCHAR2(3),
                         dcscn      NUMBER);
              v_db t_db;
          BEGIN
              CASE
                  WHEN db_log_mode = 'ARCHIVELOG' THEN
                   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT INITCAP(flashback_on), current_scn FROM v$database'
                                       INTO v_db;
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Flashback On : ' || v_db.dflsh);
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Current SCN : ' || v_db.dcscn);
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Log Mode : ' || db_log_mode);
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Version : ' || ora_version);
              END;
...The code above is what you posted, with some whitespace added.
The error is much clearer; the last CASE statement concludes with END, but CASE blocks always have to conclude with END CASE .
Why are you using a nested BEGIN block in the code above? Are you plannning to add an EXCEPTION handler later?
When posting formatted text on this site, type these 6 characters:

CASE..Im trying to put a case statment into
WHERE.........The select clause has a quite fixed structure, because it descripts the format of the result set, and the use of case statement add some more flexibility to this structure in order to make some changes to the result set that don't go in opposition with the output structure.

Need help with switch/case

Thanks in advance.
I read the tut on switch statements. My assignment is asking me to do something that is not detailed in that explanation ;
I have a total of 5 case statements, 1-4 and a default statement. The instructions for them are as follows:
Case 1: If the user enters a 1, display a message that informs users they are correct, as any input canbe saved as a String. Enter the break statement.
Case 2: If the user enters a 2, parse the value into tryInt. Display as message that informs the users they are correct. Enter the break statement.
Case 3. If they user enters a 3, parse the value into tryDouble. Display a message tha t informs users they are correct. Enter the break statement.
Case 4: Set done equal to true. Enter code to display a closing message. Enter a break statement.
Case default: throw a new NumberFormatException.;
Here is the code
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane.*;
public class MyType1
     public static void main(String[] args)
          //declaring variables
          String strChoice, strTryString, strTryInt, strTryDouble;
          int choice, tryInt;
          double tryDouble;
          boolean done = false;
          //loop while not done
          while (!done)
               try
                    choice = Integer.parseInt(strChoice);
                    switch(choice)
                         case 1:
                              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You are correct!");
                              break;
                         case 2:
                              choice = Integer.parseInt(tryInt); JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You are correct!");
                              break;
                         case 3:
                              choice = Double.parseDouble(tryDouble);
                              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You are correct!");
                              break;
                         case 4:
                              done = true; JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Goodbye!");
                              break;
As usual Im doing something wrong. Please help.

Thanks for your input. The directions for the assignment tells me to first declare the variables.
Begin a while(!done) loop to repeat as long as teh user does not click the Cancel button.
Inside a try statement, enter code to display an input box with three choices.
Type choice = Integer.parseInt(strChoice); on the next line to parse the value for the choice entered by the user.
(HERE THE SWITCH STATEMENT WITH CAST STATEMENTS)
Close the switch statement with brackets
Create a catch statement.
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane.*;
public class MyType1
     public static void main(String[] args)
          //declaring variables
          String strChoice, strTryString, strTryInt, strTryDouble;
          int choice, tryInt;
          double tryDouble;
          boolean done = false;
          //loop while not done
          while (!done)
               try
                    String message = "What is My Type:" + "\n\n1) String\n2)Integer\n3)double\n4)Quit the program\n\n";
                    choice = Integer.parseInt(strChoice);
                    //test for valid choice 1, 2, 3, or 4
                    if (choice<1 || choice>4) throw new NumberFormatException();
                    else done = true;
                    switch(choice)
                         case 1:
                              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You are correct!");
                              break;
                         case 2:
                              choice = Integer.parseInt(tryInt); JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You are correct!");
                              break;
                         case 3:
                              choice = Double.parseDouble(tryDouble);
                              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You are correct!");
                              break;
                         case 4:
                              done = true; JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Goodbye!");
                              break;
               catch (NumberFormat Exception e)
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Please enter a 1, 2, 3 or 4:", "Error", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
          }Typing this now, I see I dont have anything in my try statement entering code to display an input box with three choices.
(PS. I know I would write a catch statement for the NumberFormatException, but why would I also write this exception in the case statement also??)

Help with a return statement please!

hey, just hoping somone can help me with this return statement
i have to add a method called "specialReport" this method takes a year as it's parameter. if the parameter is not a year between 1930 and 1969 inclusive it displays an error message, "not a valid year"
if the parameter is a valid year, then it compares the parameter with the year field. if they are the same, and is the movie has been rented at least five times, the method will display the message "a good year for movies" if the years are different or the movie has NOT been rented at least five times, the method displays the message "try a different year"
btw, the Year field is : yearReleased
all help is very much appreciated!

public void specialReport(int year){
//add functionality to process here
return;
}

Need help to write case statement

Hi Guys,
I have dashboard in which its has pprompt called PROPMT1 in that prompt it has three values A,B,C
but iwant the full abbreviation of those values like A=APPLE B=BOY and C=Cindy
and also in the report i have the coloumn is prompted by PROMPT1 which has again A,B,C values that need to be modified as A=APPLE B=BOY and C=Cindy
how can i do it with case statement.

For the prompt, write this in the Show window>SQL Results:
1) CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN char_columnname ELSE 'A = APPLE' END FROM "your subject area" UNION ALL CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN char_columnname ELSE 'B = BOY' END FROM "your subject area" UNION ALL CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN char_columnname ELSE 'C = Cindy' END FROM "your subject area"
2) Save the prompt to a presentation variable, pv_choice
This will give you your three values. Make sure you use a CHAR column, doesnt matter what column, though.
For the report,
1) Create a BINS column on the column that contains the A, B, C values and make the BINS A = APPLE, B = BOY, C = Cindy just like the prompt values.
2) Now put a filter on this BINS column and set it equal to your pv_choice presentation variable.
That's it.
NOTE: Obviously, if you want the prompt values to just say "APPLE," "BOY," and "Cindy," then take off the 'A = ', 'B = ' and 'C = ' appropriately. Same for the BINS in your report.

Need help with upper case

I'm stuck on my coding when I have to write a function to
detect upper cases has been used in a sentence
For example if my array element has this:
2345
SAINT PAUL
STREET
APT 5
PHILADELPHIA
I need to be able to write a code to let me know that the 2nd
OR 3rd OR 5th element is written in upper case letter
Or if I set the variable not as array, 2345 SAINT PAUL STREET
APT 5 PHILADELPHIA
I need to be able to detect that at least one of the section
on that street name is written with upper case
Can anyone help please?

compare() cf function performs a case-sensitive comparison of
2 strings
and returns 0 is the strings are the same. so you can compare
an
uppercase version of the string to the original string, and
if the
comparison returns 0 then your string is in uppercase:
<cfif compare(ucase(myarray[2]), myarray[2]) is 0>

<cfelse>

</cfif>
the above code compares the value of the second array element
converted
to uppercase to the original value of the second array
element. if the
result is 0, i.e. the uppercase and original strings are the
same, then
you know the original string is in uppercase.
if you are dealing with a single string (which is equivalent
to a
space-delimited list), then use appropriate list function to
get
required list element, i.e. listfirst(), listlast(),
listgetat()...
<cfif compare(ucase(listlast(mylist, " ")),
listlast(mylist, " ")) is 0>

<cfelse>

</cfif>
