How to find differences between two columns

Hello I need the formula to spot differences between two columns and to write on a third one if the same name appear on the two columns.
For example:
rome berlin true
berlin moscow false
chicago toronto true
toronto chicago true
florence
Thanks
Lorenzo

You should be able to use COUNTIF where the range is th first column and the condition is the word in the second column. If the result is greater than zero then the word is in both columns.

How to get the difference between two columns in a column group

Hi All,
My first time here and really new to programming. I would like to get the difference between 2 columns that are inside
a column group.
Here is my sample table below: The Column Group is PeriodNumber and can only choose 2. like 1 and 2.. I would like to have a third row which will simply calculate the difference between the amounts in PeriodNumber 1 and 2.
PeriodNumber
Account 1 2
1) Cash 10,000 15,000
2) Receivables 12,000 11,500
3) Equipment 5,000 5,500
Total Assets 27,000 32,000

Hi yabgestopa,
From your description, you want to get the difference between two columns in a column group. After testing it in my environment, we can use custom code to achieve your requirement. For more details, you can refer to the following steps:
Copy the custom code below and paste it to your report. (Right-click report>Report Properties>Code)
Dim Shared Num1 As Integer
Dim shared Num2 As Integer
Public Function GetAmount(Amount as Integer, Type as String)
If Type = "1" Then
Num1=Amount
Else
Num2=Amount
End If
Return Amount
End Function
Public Function GetDif()
Return Num1-Num2
End function
Right-click the second column to insert a third column with Outside Group-Right.
Then use the expressions below in the matrix.
=Code.GetAmount(Fields!Amount.Value,Fields!PeriodNumber.Value)
=code.GetAmount(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value),Fields!PeriodNumber.Value)
=Code.GetDif()
The report looks like below.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to find differene between two time fields??

Hi Experts,
I am trying to find difference between two time fields, I have created two formula variables by using replacement path for the two time fields, I have taken dimension key NUMBER, because of this time format is converting to numbers for example if the time is 13:20:10 then it is converting to 1,32,010 then it is calculating, I am getting wrong values.
Is there any options to find out the difference between two time fields.
Thanks in advance,
Venkat.

use COPF_DETERMINE_DURATION. Its better you do it in data model itself.
If you have date and time seperately use command
use CONVERT TIMESTAMP command and
then use this function module to get the difference in
timestamp
CCU_TIMESTAMP_DIFFERENCE
us this in conjunction with the below function module
DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES

Find Differences between two tables at column level

Hi,
I have 2 tables one live table and the other History table..
If i have to find differences between live table and the latest version in the History table and also find which column got chaanged
How would i do that for a table which has many columns and i need each column for which the value has changed for a id
for ex:
Table 1 (LIve) Table 2 (History)
ID col1 col2 Version ID col1 col2 Version
1 ABC 123 V1 1 ABCD 123 v2
2 NBS 1234 V1 2 NBS 123 V2
Result set should be
Result Set:
ID col which changed
1 col1
2 col2
Because the values for that column had been changed
Except gives me all the differences not just the column level ..

The dynamic version using schema views... :D
--Build a coulple OF testing tables to play with
CREATE TABLE dbo.Table1 (
ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
Col1 INT,
Col2 INT,
Col3 INT
CREATE TABLE dbo.Table2 (
ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
Col1 INT,
Col2 INT,
Col3 INT
INSERT dbo.Table1 (Col1,Col2,Col3) VALUES
(123,456,789),
(111,222,333),
(444,555,666),

(362,362,236),

(821,729,324)

To find difference between two dates

Hi all,
I am new to this forum and oracle.
I want to get the difference between two dates. My query is as below...
sqlserver_utilities.datediff('YY', startdate,enddate)
I want the difference in year.
Please help me. It's really urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Inam

Select to_char(enddate,'YY') - to_char(startdate,'YY') fromPLEASE don't do that. There are so many things wrong with it...
for example:
1). Why are you subtracting character data types?
2). What if the start date is 1999 and the end date is 2000? Do you expect to get a difference of -1?
3). What if the start date is 1 Jan 2000 and the end date is 31 Dec 2000? Do you expect to get 0 instead of 1 or .997?
4). Why would you convert dates to something else when they are inherently subtractable.
5). There are obvious points in the OP's "specification" that are vague - the best thing (after telling them to search, of course since this has been answered a million times already) would be to try to clarify the spec.

How to get difference between two rows for a column field?

hi, all,
Could anyone show me what query statement is to get the difference betweem two rows for two column fields?
The tables and its records are like this:
id,      begin,      end
p1         21          30
p2          45          60
p3          120          150
I would like to have the query result like this
id,    diff
p1     15    --- which is 45 minus 30
p2     60    --- which is 120 minus 60
and so on...
thank you in advance.
Raffy

You can use the LAG function to access values from previous rows:
with q as (select 'p1' id, 21 v_start, 30 v_end from dual
union all
select 'p2', 45, 60 from dual
union all
select 'p3', 120, 150 from dual)
select id, v_start, v_end, v_start - lag (v_end, 1, 0)
over (order by id) v_diff from q
ID,V_START,V_END,V_DIFF
p1,21,30,21
p2,45,60,15
p3,120,150,60

Calculating a difference between two columns in a crosstab report

I have a crosstab report showing # of sales by salesperson in each of 2 years and within each of 2 categories of salesperson (old vs new). I want to create a column showing the difference between sales in 2009 and 2010 within new salespersons and then a column showing the difference between 2009 and 2010 within old salespersons. I can't figure out how to pinpoint in the variable editor the column containing 2009 sales by new agents. Any advice?

You can hard-code the formulas like this:
=Sum([Sales]) Where ([Year] = 2009)
=Sum([Sales]) Where ([Year] = 2010)
Then the variance becomes:
=Sum([Sales]) Where ([Year] = 2010) - Sum([Sales]) Where ([Year] = 2009)
The challenge with this is the years are not dynamic, but I figure I will throw this out first and see if it gets you what you want to start with.

Find difference between two numbers (DBL)

Hello All,
Is there a function in labview other than subtraction function that can find the difference between the two given numbers?
Thanks,
Davidson
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think if he wanted to find absolute value he would have mentioned it.
And not asked about other function for taking difference.
Do you want to fight over this? When it is mentioned "DIFFERENCE" and not "ABSOLUTE" value.
Anyways..Will fight tomorrow. I am going home.
Best of luck

Find difference between two vectors ?

Hi,
I have two vectors, the first contains:
v1.add("1");
v1.add("2");
the second:
v2.add("1");
Now I want to print out the difference between both.
Does anybody have en idea ?
Regards
Micha

Yep, that should definitely do it. I think the point ssav is trying to make is that to solve this problem we need to know your actual requirements. "the difference between" is too vague. Here are some things to think about:
- Is position important? That is, is a List containing 1 and 2 the same as a List containing 2 and 1 or different?
- If List A contains 1,2,4,5,6 and List B contains 1,2,3,4,5,6 what would you want to see?
- What if List A contains 1,2,3 and List B 1,2,2,3?
- What if List A contains 1,2,3 and Lits B 1,2,and a java.lang.NullPointerException?
You're probably starting to see that this is not as simple as you thought. Come back with more specific requirements and you may get better help.

How to find difference in two tables

Hi all,
I am having 2 tables (Table1 and Table2 ) same structure.
1. Table1 is having some data.
2. Now, i got data in CSV file, which was loaded into Table2.
This data contains....
A. Data of Table1
B. Some colum values are different compare to Table1 column values.
(Pkey is same, but column values are different in Table1 and Table2)
C. Additional rows are there compared to Table1.
Now, what i want is......
I want to select the data from Table2,
1. The rows in which column values are different from the Table1
2. New records added from CSV file (i.e. Those records that are not
there in Table1).
Thanks in advance,
Pal

Thanks for your solution. It is working, but my problem is
Table1
COL1     COL2     COL3     COL4
1     col2     col3     col4
2     col2     col3     col4
3     col2     col3     col4
4     col2     col3     col4
Table2
COL1     COL2     COL3     COL4
5     col2     col3     col4 -- New row
6     col2     col3     col4 -- New row
1     col2     col3     col44 -- Different column value
2     col2     col3     col4
3     col2     col33     col4 -- Different column value
4     col2     col3     col4
select * from test2
minus
select * from test1
COL1     COL2     COL3     COL4
1     col2     col3     col44 --- needs to be update
3     col2     col33     col4 --- needs to be update
5     col2     col3     col4 --- needs to be insert
6     col2     col3     col4 --- needs to be insert
Actually, I need to update and insert those records through LIVE UPDATE in the remote database. In this case, Table1 data is in the remote database. The output of MINUS statement needs to be implimented in Table1, which is in remote database.
Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks,
