Help with a query regarding time dependent display of Plan/Actual data

Hello,
Let me try to explain what my problem is:
I have a query that shows plan and actual sales figures on a timeline. Plan and actual data is identified by 0VERSION (P01 for Plan; P00 for Actual).
0CALMONTH and Sales key figure is in rows. 0VERSION is in collums.
The output looks as follows (simplified):
CalYYYY/MM............P01....P00
2006.09......Sales........90.....100
2006.10......Sales......100.......95
2006.11......Sales........90........0
2006.12......Sales........95........0
So far so good! But users aren't satisfied with that. They want only <u>one</u> collumn with sales figures. For past months (< 2006.11) they want to see actual figures (Version P00). For current and future month (>= 2006.11) they want to see plan figures (Version P01). And this only in one single collumn.
So the output should look this way:
CalYYYY/MM..........P00/P01
2006.09......Sales......100
2006.10......Sales.... ...95
2006.11......Sales........90
2006.12......Sales........95
Is there any way/workaround to accomplish this?
Your help will be very appreciated!

Ulrich

Hi,
For this what you can try is , have the two Restricted Key Figs the way you have right now, but Hide them. Then Create a Third Formula Key Fig, in which you can put a Boolean Logic :
(FV > 11) * Act KF +(FV<= 11)*Plan KF
Where FV is a Formula Variable which takes on the Value from Month (1 for Jan , 2 for Feb etc)
Try something on these lines.

Age group to make it time dependent display as per transaction date

Hi All,
I have a doubt in displaying a attribute as time dependent. Below is my scenario.
I have a cube where am capturing the transaction data of the customer. Currently while the customer data loading using the customer number i do look up to the customer master data and findout the D.O.B and calculate the Age group(bucket) and punch it in the transactin cube itself. Note Age group is calculated based on the DOB and the transaction date. It was working fine.
But issue raised today customer is registered and he is allowed to do some transactions immediately after that, and the personal details like DOB, address is captured latter. Hence all the transactions until his DOB is maintained in the source system is puched in cube w/o DOB.
Hence i do not want to have it in the cube and want to have the age group to be fetched from attribute / some other mean. But in case if i make the agegroup as attribute of the customer it will show only the current age. But i need to show the agegroup as on the transactions date.
For ex. today customer age is 25 and day after tmr his age changes to 26. And in this case if i execute the report for whole month under 25 i should get the transaction and under 26 age i should get the respective transaction.
how should u achieve this. please help me out.
Note: Having a virtual KF seems createing the performance issue because data volume pulling out is more in numbers.
thanks in advance
Prem

Hi,
In this scenario i think Virtual Key figure is inevitable.
Hope that helps.

Help with SQL query invloving time operations

I have created 2 tables in my SQL. One is the user_info table which stores the time of login and timezone of login for each user. The other is the post_table which stores the postid, user who makes the post, time of post and timezone for each posts.
CREATE TABLE user_info
user_id VARCHAR(20),
login_date DATE,
login_time_zone VARCHAR(20),
PRIMARY KEY (user_id)
CREATE TABLE post_table
post_id VARCHAR(20),
user_id VARCHAR(20),
datepost DATE,
time_zone VARCHAR(20),
PRIMARY KEY (post_id),
FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES user_info(user_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
) ;Some sample data for my tables is as below -
INSERT INTO user_info VALUES( 'u1', to_date('9/17/2009 20:00','MM/DD/YYYY mi:ss'), -2 );
INSERT INTO user_info VALUES( 'u2', to_date('9/17/2009 19:55','MM/DD/YYYY mi:ss'), -4 );
INSERT INTO post_table VALUES( 'p1', 'u1', to_date('9/17/2009 20:50','MM/DD/YYYY mi:ss'), 6 );
INSERT INTO post_table VALUES( 'p2', 'u2', to_date('9/17/2009 20:30','MM/DD/YYYY mi:ss'), -5 );
INSERT INTO post_table VALUES( 'p3', 'u2', to_date('9/18/2009 6:00','MM/DD/YYYY mi:ss'), 2 );
INSERT INTO post_table VALUES( 'p4', 'u1', to_date('9/17/2009 21:00','MM/DD/YYYY mi:ss'), -3 );I need to write an SQL query which - finds the user(s) whose time difference between the login time and the latest time when he/she writes a post is the smallest. I need to consider the timezones here as well.
I am unsure if time_zone should be of type VARCHAR or TIMESTAMP so have created it as VARCHAR in my tables.
Someone please help me form this query.
PS : How do I user <code> tags in this forum to write sql statements.

Need help with SQL Query with Inline View + Group by

Hello Gurus,
I would really appreciate your time and effort regarding this query. I have the following data set.
Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*20.00*-------------19
1234567----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------Adjustment for bad quality---------44345563------------------A-----------------10.00------------19

4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765--------------------I---------------------30.00-------------19
Please Ignore '----', added it for clarity
I am trying to write a query to aggregate paid_amount based on Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number and display description with Invoice_type 'I' when there are multiple records with the same Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number. When there are no multiple records I want to display the respective Description.
The query should return the following data set
Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*10.00*------------19
7654321----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------Adjustment from last billing cycle-----23543556-------------------A--------------------50.00--------------19
4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765-------------------I---------------------30.00--------------19
The following is my query. I am kind of lost.
select B.Description, A.sequence_id,A.check_date, A.check_number, A.invoice_number, A.amount, A.vendor_number
from (
select sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, sum(paid_amount) amount, vendor_number
from INVOICE
group by sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, vendor_number
) A, INVOICE B
where A.sequence_id = B.sequence_id

Hi can anyone help with this issue regarding my wireless magic mouse? When im on google chrome and scrolling down the page i always have youtube running in the background but the audio cuts/spits/pops can anyone help me with this?

The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet. Are you still using the same wireless router. The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace. For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio. I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

Please help with tricky query

I need help with SQL query (if it can be accomplished with query at all).
I'm going to create a table with structure similar to:
Article_Name varchar2(30), Author_Name varchar2(30), Position varchar2(2). Position field is basicly position of an article author in the author list, e.g. if there is one author, his/her position is 0, if 2, then 1st author is 0, second is 1, etc.
Article_Name Author_Name Position
Outer Space Smith 0
Outer Space Blake 1
How can I automate creation of Position, based on number of authors on the fly? Let's say I have original table without Position, but I want to create a new table that will have this information.
Regards

If you have an existing table whose structure doesn't tell you what position the author is in, what's the algorithm you'd use to determine who was the first author, the second author, etc? If you issue a select query on a table without providing an "order by" clause, Oracle makes no guarantees about the order in which it retrieves rows.
As an aside, why would you store position number in a varchar2 field? If it's a number, it ought to be stored as a number.

Need urgent help with the query - Beginer

Hello - I need help with a query to populate data in a table.Here is the scenario.
Source1
MnthID BranchCod CustID SegCode FXStatus ProfStatus Profit

Source2

Condition and Calculations:
1)Source1 customer are base customers.If Source2 has customers who is not in source1 then that customer's record should not be fetched.
2)SegCode, FX Status, ProfStatus is one variable in destination table. [ SegCode = SegCode+ FXStatus (if FXStatus = Y)+ ProfStatus (if FXStatus = Y) ]
3)CountSegCust = CountCustID Groupby MnthID,BranchCod,SegCode Only.
4)CountProdCust = CountCustID Groupby MnthID,BranchCod,SegCode,ProdCode (when ProdIndex = 1)
5)ProfitProdCust = Sum of Profit of Customers Groupby MnthID,BranchCod,SegCode,ProdCode (when ProdIndex = 1)
Apologies for bad formatting.
Thanks in advance!!

A total guess indeed.
It's not clear whether some aggregation can be done (summing counts of grouped data might cause some customers being counted more than once)

Help with slooow query

I created a blogging tool for my students to use as I teach
them internet safety and cyber citizenship. I am no CF master, but
I dabble a little bit here and there. I need some help with this
query. It is running extremely slow, which means I have probably
created some horrendous loop in this query. If any one out there
has a better solution for this query, I and my middle school
students would be extremely grateful.
Here's what I would like it to do. I have two tables, one for
the blog messages and another for comments. The comments are linked
to their respective blog messages through a common database field.
When someone clicks on a link to read a student's blog, a query
runs which pulls all of the blog messages for that user, the
comments, and it also counts the number of comments entries for
each message so that I can place a total # of comments under each
blog message.

Not sure why you have this like this: (Select
count(commentid) from comments where comments.blogid = blog.blogid)
or this twice: blog.blogusersid = #fname#
You need to make sure that the comments.blogid and
blog.blogid fields are indexed. Does this query work any faster?
<cfquery Name="Myblog" datasource="blog">
SELECT b.blogid, b.btitle, b.bcontent, b.bdate,
b.blogusersid, b.fname, b.lname, b.blogpict, b.pictlocation,
b.userid, c.commentid, c.blogid, b.lastupdated, COUNT(c.commentid)
AS cc
FROM blog AS b
INNER JOIN comments AS c ON c.blogid = b.blogid
WHERE b.blogusersid = #fname#
GROUP BY b.blogid, b.btitle, b.bcontent, b.bdate,
b.blogusersid, b.fname, b.lname, b.blogpict, b.pictlocation,
b.userid, c.commentid, c.blogid, b.lastupdated
ORDER BY b.bdate
</cfquery>
..... but I'm not sure that you will be getting the comment
count that you want with either query.

Help with iTunes database and Time Machine after Lion clean install

I did a clean install of OS X Lion and think I've given myself problems with my Snow Leopard Time Machine backup and with my iTunes Library database files.
My iMac (2007) had become very sluggish so I opted for a clean install. Before the install of Lion my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 internal 1TB HD was at about 600GBs. I was using Time Machine to backup to an external 1TB drive. I had my iTunes 10.? library on the same drive.
For the Lion install I partitioned my internal 1TB HD into two partitions - a 250GB Lion boot partition and the rest for Lion data files.
Now I have two problems - 1. I can't work out how to re-connect my Time Machine backups, since they were related to a much bigger original drive, and 2. I can't seem to find my iTunes database files.
I also don't want to restore any application files at this stage, as I'm determined to do a fresh install of only the applications I need as I go along, and hopefully avoid the issues of sluggishness I had with Snow Leopard.
I have all my iTunes files in their pre-Lion external HD folder, but that folder does not seem to have the iTunes Library.XML or iTunes Library files. I didn't delete them so I'm hoping they were in my iTunes folder on my SL boot drive. But that drive was deleted during the install, so I'll be depending on Time Machine to restore the database.
Can anyone suggest a way to deal with Time Machine for my Lion install, and a way to restore my iTunes database? I'd like to keep as much of the Snow Leopard Time Machine data as I can, while continuing to do Time Machine backups from my Lion installation.
Anyone know where iTunes stores those database files, if not in the external drive iTunes folder? Spotlight search doesn't find the files, but is there a way to search my old Time Machine backups without having the Time Machine backups folder re-connected in Lion?
Thanks.

My iTunes folder is organised like this if it helps:
And iTunes uses them from the Prefrences like this:

Help with my query

Hello all,
Total newbie to this pl/sql stuff. So, deseperately need help in my query.
BOOKING_ID     BOOKING_STATUS     BOOKING_DATE     BOOKING_TIME     BOOKING_DATE_TIME
1234567     CANCELLED     20090301     37252     5/1/2010 10:20
1234567     CANCELLED 20090301     44229     5/1/2010 12:17
1234567     BOOKED     20090301     39462     5/1/2010 10:57
1234567     CANCELLED     20090301     43549     5/1/2010 12:05
9671111     BOOKED     20090301     68124     5/1/2010 12:57
9671111     CANCELLED     20090301     45001     5/1/2010 12:05
How do I write my query such that I would get the following results:
BOOKING_ID     BOOKING_STATUS     BOOKING_DATE     BOOKING_TIME     BOOKING_DATE_TIME
9671111     BOOKED     20090301     68124     2/4/2010 12:17
Basically, I am looking at the latest BOOKING_TIME and making sure the BOOKING_STATUS=BOOKED, if not, don't even bother bring back the result. Hence, you see that BOOKING_ID=1234567 is not required since at the latest BOOKING_TIME=44229, the BOOKING_STATUS=CANCELLED.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, Stanley,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a question, please post your sample data in a form that people can actually use. CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements are perfect.
For example:
CREATE TABLE     booking
(     booking_id          NUMBER (8)
,     booking_status          VARCHAR2 (10)
,     booking_date_time     DATE
INSERT INTO booking (booking_id, booking_status, booking_date_time)
              VALUES (1234567,        'CANCELLED',        TO_DATE ('5/1/2010 10:20', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI'));
INSERT INTO booking (booking_id, booking_status, booking_date_time)
              VALUES (1234567,        'CANCELLED',        TO_DATE ('5/1/2010 12:17', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI'));
INSERT INTO booking (booking_id, booking_status, booking_date_time)
              VALUES (1234567,        'BOOKED',        TO_DATE ('5/1/2010 10:57', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI'));
INSERT INTO booking (booking_id, booking_status, booking_date_time)
              VALUES (1234567,        'CANCELLED',        TO_DATE ('5/1/2010 12:05', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI'));
INSERT INTO booking (booking_id, booking_status, booking_date_time)
              VALUES (9671111,        'BOOKED',        TO_DATE ('5/1/2010 12:57', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI'));
INSERT INTO booking (booking_id, booking_status, booking_date_time)
              VALUES (9671111,        'CANCELLED',        TO_DATE ('5/1/2010 12:05', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI'));What you want is called a Top-N Query .
Here's one way to do it:
WITH     got_rnum AS
     SELECT     booking.*
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY booking_id
                               ORDER BY         booking_date_time     DESC
                       ) AS rnum
     FROM    booking
SELECT     booking_id
,     booking_status
,     TO_CHAR (booking_date_time, 'YYYYMMDD')               AS booking_date
,     TO_CHAR (booking_date_time, 'SSSSS')               AS booking_time
,     TO_CHAR (booking_date_time, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI')     AS booking_date_time
FROM     got_rnum
WHERE     rnum          = 1
AND     booking_status     = 'BOOKED'
;Notice that you don't need PL/SQL to do this; plain old SQL is good enough.
Of course, if you're using PL/SQL for other reasons, you can use a query like this within PL/SQL.
Dates (including time of day) should always be stored in DATE columns.
If you have a DATE column, like booking_date_time, then there's no need for redundant date and time columns.
You can always display just the year-month-day, or just the time, in any format, as I did above.
The output from the query above, with the data above, is:
BOOKING_ID BOOKING_ST BOOKING_ BOOKI BOOKING_DATE_TIM
   9671111 BOOKED     20100501 46620 05/01/2010 12:57I realize the booking_date and booking_time columns aren't quite what you posted. If they are not derivable from booking_date_time, then you probably do need separate columns for them, and those columns can easily be added to the query above.
Edited by: Frank Kulash on Feb 5, 2010 4:41 PM
KEEP (DENSE_RANK ...) , like Max used below, is a great tool to have in your kit. The problem with it is that you have to repeat a lot of stuff for every column, so the more columns you have in your output, the more tedious it gets. ROW_NUMBER sclaes much better, and is adaptable to more situations. I suggest you master ROW_NUMBER first, and look into KEEP (DENSE_RANK ...) later.

Query on Time Dependent Info object

Hi ,
I am trying to create a query out of a time dependent info object.The info object is 0employee and since it is time dependent it has the date from and date to automatically in the infoobject master data. However these fields do not come up as characteristics when a create a query out of this infoobject.
Can you please let me know why or am I missing something ? I know I can get it if i use it in a cube or DSO but i want to create from this infoobject. Please help.
Thanks ,
Regards

Hi
0employee_attr datasource have start and end date is mapped 1:1. target is 0employee? but when i check at 0employee attribute tab i have seen any start and end date attributes.
If you have it in attr u should be able to assign as read from master data.
Otherwise routine will be
SELECT STARTDATE from /BI0/MEMPLOYEE where employee = source_fields-employee.
for start date and
SELECT ENDDATE from /BI0/MEMPLOYEE where employee = source_fields-employee.
for enddate

I need help with a query

Hello everyone,
First, some background information. We have in place a table which records status changes on a work order. The orders normally go through each status only once, however they do occasionally reuse status indicators. For example, an order is placed on hold, released from hold, placed back on hold, released again and so on. The sample data provided is an example of an order with data repeating itself. I need some help with writing a query on this table.

The query (which will in turn be used for a view) will display the elapsed time between status updates (subtract updatetime from the record preceeding). Only the first record for each order at a location would have no elapsed time. The result should look like this:

WO_NO
UPDATETIME
WO_STATUS_OLD
WO_STATUS_NEW
