If/Else/Then statement in Bex

Hi all,
I want to create some conditional logic in Bex formula. The logic I need is:
IF (KeyFigA exists) THEN (use KeyFigA) ELSE IF (KeyFigB exists) THEN (use KeyFigB) ELSE (use KeyFigC)
I am a bit confused on the operators I need to use...Can anyone help?
Thanks
CM

Hi,
( KFA <> 0 ) * KFA + (KFA == 0 ) * (KFB <> 0 ) * KFB + ( KFA == 0 ) * ( KFB == 0 ) * KFC
Just as Bob said, however, you need to use the <> symbols for .NE.. You can also select the symbols in the Boolean Logic section.
Brian
I think I know why Bob added the .NE., even though I can see them in my edit screen, they are not showing up in the message after I save it.

If-then statement in formula node

**Note - The attached file shows the current block diagram.
I have a formula node inside a for loop. Inside the formula node I am trying to program the if-then statement:
If T1<2.0E-5 OR T1>5.5E-4 THEN GOTO 3
U7=U7+V
I have 4 items I need help with:
(1) Is 'II' the correct operator for 'OR'?
(2) Is 'goto' an acceptable operator within LabVIEW?
(3) 'U7' is building a 1D array. How do I need to define it? Is it simply 'int U7'? Also, I will add an output value named 'U7' on the formula node wall with an indicator wired to it from outside the for loop.
(4) Is my use of the equal sign appropriate or do I need to use '=='?
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. I went ahead and rewrote the program so I could omit the 'goto's. Another problem that I am having is that I want 2 statements for 1 assignment:
if (T1>=.002004 && T1<=.002584)
B1=U
A1=V;
I want to assign both B1 and A1 values when the above condition is true. I tried a comma between the U and A1 but it doesn't work as well. Should I define A1 and B1 separately? Or would this create problems?
if (T1>=.002004 && T1<=.002584)
B1=U;
if (T1>=.002004 && T1<=.002584)
A1=V;
Thanks,
Philip

"If, Then" Statements Driving Selection

I am creating a price list/order form and need some help with "If, Then" statements and how their result drives a price selection.
I have a product that is priced differently based on both how many is purchased and how many colors it has. My variables are (a) one, two, three or four colors, and (b) 10 to 500 pieces in six tiers (10-24, 25-49, 50-99, 100-249, 250-499, 500+).
I want to autopopulate a price field based on the color number and the quantity, making the pricing foolproof and the total order amount automatically calculated.
Here's my situation:
- Field A is Number of Colors (let's say 1-color)
- Field B is Quantity (let's say it's 23, putting us in the 10-24 tier pricing)
- Field C is Unit Price (1-color @ 23 qty would be $76.63 each)
- Field D is Total Price (23 x $76.63)
My statement would look like the following, but I don't know how to structure this in the form fields or where to put the quantity or pricing table for the software to calculate B or C:
If A is 1-color, and B is 23, then C is $76.63.
My Field D calculation is pretty straight-forward (Field C x Field D) if I can figure out a way to determine Field C's value.
Help!

DISCOVERER 3.1, IF,THEN STATEMENT

Dear All,
I am not an experienced Discoverer user. Please forgive my ignorance.
I would like to create a column that will "fill in" certain text based on the contents of other columns.
I have been partially successful by using the DECODE function, but I have only been able to base my result on one column.
What I need to do is create text statements that will vary based on the contents of 3 different columns. For example IF Fruit=** AND Color=*** AND Date Picked = *** then Statement= MY STATEMENT.
FRUIT COLOR DATE PICKED STATEMENT
APPLE RED 30<SYSDATE BAD RED APPLE
APPLE RED SYSDATE O.K. RED APPLE
APPLE GREEN SYSDATE BAKING APPLE
PEACH PINK >SYSDATE GOOD FOR PIES
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Dear Andrew,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I will try this.

Hi Nancy,
I am not an experienced Discoverer user, but I know SQL. So here is a SQL solution, there might be Discoverer specific ways of doing this I do not know about.
OK, First try breaking your problem down into parts.
Outermost: DECODE(fruit,'APPLE', apple_only_section ,
fruit,'PEACH', peach_only_section ,
other_fruit_section)
apple_only_section: DECODE( color , 'RED', apple_red_section ,
color , 'GREEN', apple_green_section ,
other_apple_section )
// Here is where things get 'tricky' to try to determine date ranges.
apple_red_section: DECODE ( greatest( trunc(sysdate)-30,date_picked) ,
trunc(sysdate)-30) , 'BAD RED APPLE' ) ,
'GOOD RED APPLE' )
The 'greatest' statement above is key to doing date-ranges in a column,
And you should think about whether the dates should be truncated to remove the time component (as I do for sysdate above).
And once you have the sections like 'apple_red_section' that you know work, running independently, you start embedding them together to form the higher level statements.
You end up with hard to understand gobbledegook, but it does work.
The decode statement is tricky even for a programmer, so work in stages and get each part working before you try to combine them. Better yet get a programmer to write exactly what you want.

How to know if a UDF form is opened else then using a TRY CATCH ?

I'm looking for any way to find out if the UDF form is visible
else then trying to open it in a try catch and if it's not sending a key. This if very ugly, slow and not really my kind.
I tried to iterate through all the forms in SBO_Application.Forms but it's not there. All I see is the main form
I just need to make sure the UDF form is visible when Inventory form is loaded so I can put a value in one of the UDF
If there's a better way I'm buying it

Hi Marc,
Rather than putting your data in the UDF in the UDF side form, you can add a control to the main form (during the load event of the form) and bind this to the UDF through the DBDataSource that is already available on the main form. This means that you don't need to worry about whether the UDF form is open or not because you can always read or write to your UDF data from the main form.
Alternatively, the UDF form TypeEx property is always the same as the main form but with a minus sign in front. Therefore, if you know the TypeEx and FormTypeCount of the main form then you can use the GetForm method of the Application object to get the UDF form.
oForm = _sboApp.Forms.GetForm("-" + oMainForm.TypeEx, oMainForm.TypeCount);
You'd still need a try/catch around this and if it raises an error then activate the 6913 menu to open the UDF form.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Can I write in the layout in any Key figure something else then number ?

Hi
(sem - bps)
Can I write in the layout in any Key figure something else then number ?
Let say I want to right in the key figure number with CHAR (the letters a-z)
Can I do so ?
Can a key figure has char other then number ?

no i can't , because the user want to assign a characteristic ,for example (the layout) :
0employye 0amount 0project
P1211111   1000   #
after the user will assign :
0employye 0amount 0project
P1211111   1000   ea-5819
can the user assign 0project ?
the current solution i mange to build was :
a variable with 2 characteristic 0employee & 0project
and with user exit i move the values to Variable
,and in the fox i use substr to split the variable ,

Writing an if-then statement

I would like to write an if-then statement that would hide an element (image of a pause button) when the main timeline is stopped. I have a play forward button that when pressed will switch to a pause button. The same happens for the play reverse button. This way the buttons are like toggles...press once it plays and press again and it stops. I have this working fine, but there are several stop triggers throughout the timeline, and when the animation is stopped my pause/play button will still be in the pause button mode, thus a user will not be able to restart the animation. There are too many of these stop triggers to make it practical to add a hide command to each to hide the pause button (thus making the play button underneath accessable), so what I would love is if I could write a statement that would hide both pause buttons whenever the timeline is not running.
I need to know the correct way to write the code and where to put it.
Thanks in advance,
Greg

Hi Joel...
you can view the test site here http://cyclesofyah.com/slider-test_screen-swap-test/
and you can download the files here http://cyclesofyah.com/chrono/cycles_test.rar
you won't see much happen until you click on the gear icon. While the timeline is running you can type any number on your keyboard, and it will take you to a stop trigger.

If I don't click click on somewhere else, I cannot even see my current brush effects
This kind of problem really slow down my work flow. So if you guy know the solution of my problem, please let me know.

Update your graphics driver/ turn off GPU usage in the performance prefs. You have an issue with hardware-based transparency handling most likely. Otherwise you could have an issue with your input device, but since you have not provided any system info, we can't really know anything.

IF THEN ELSE STATEMENT IN BeX Query designer

Hi,
I want to write a query as follows:
IF <Value a> is available THEN <Value a> ELSE <Value b>
I have written it as follows:
(X>0)X+(X<=0)Y
The problem with this equation is, in case X = 0(number Zero) then Y is not getting displayed. But In case X =NULL (or no values) then Y displayed. This is leading to inconsistency in final result. Please help in rectifying the formula incase it is incorrect or is it because of some program bug in BeX?
Regards
Madhav

This works for me...dont understand y its not working with u!!
it is simple:
(X<>0)X+(X==0)Y
If X is 0, then 0X + 1Y = Y
else
1X + 0Y = X.
What result you are getting in both cases?
as you thing,X value is may not be 0 in your case. It may be 0.00004...something like that...Set Decimal Places to 5 or 6 to X.

IF ELSE Statement in BEx Query based on the results

Hi experts,
I want to realize the following IF/ELSE statement in a BEx Query in respect to the result values
If the result of KF1 equals 0, than set the KF2 to 0, Else (KF1 NE 0) show the value of KF2
Background: I want to report the order backlog. In the example above we have an incoming order value of 23.700,80 EUR in periode 12.2013 and an turnover of 22.370,80 EUR in periode 01.2014. The order backlog in ST (KF1) is 1 ST (12.2013) - 1 ST (01.2014) = 0 ST. The order backlog in EUR (KF2) is 23.700,80 EUR (12.2013) - 22.370,80 EUR (01.2014) = 1.330 EUR. The Order and Invoice is finished, but we have an positive order backlog in EUR (reason: less turnover as incoming order).
For this case I want to realize the IF/Else statement to check if the oder backlog in ST = 0, if yes, than set the order backlog in EUR also to 0.
Any best practices?
Many thanks and best regards,
Michael

Hi Suman,
thanks aigain for your reply!
I have tried your proposal before you have posted it.
In my special case the following if/else statement works successfully:
CKF = calculated key figure
Formula1 = (CKF1 == 0) * 0 + (CKF1 <> 0) * CKF2
In my case the CKF2 is the result value from "Incoming Order value" - "Turnover"
So I had to define a separate Formula (1:1 equals to CKF2) and then I was able to set "*CKF2" in the statement.
The statement CKF2 = (CKF1 == 0) * 0 + CKF2 is not possible (because it´s not possible to calculate from CKF2 itself).
Now it works
Best regards,
Michael

IF...ELSE.. STATEMENT in BEx Query Designer

Hi,
Why there is no IF, ELSE function in BEx Query Designer?
Assuming I need to write the following logic, how can it be accomplished?
IF (A=0 OR B=0)
    THEN 0
ELSE IF ( B/A <0)
    THEN '       *'
ELSE
    B/A * 100
i.e.
if A or B is equal to 0, then display the value of 0
else if B is negative (as A is either 0 or positive), then display the following text: '         *'
otherwise, display the value of B/A * 100
Thanks!

Hi,
You can achieve this by creating a new formula.
You have to use the boolean operations and mathematical functions. But we cannot display *. u have to display some value for that.

IF ELSE statement in BEX

Hi all,
I need to write a formula in a query using IF ELSE statements. Here is my senario
I need to write a IF ELSE statement to calculate a KF i.e., % variance of This year with last year sales (TY%LY) .Following are the conditions.
IF LY<0 then TY % LY should be (TY-LY)/LY * (-100)
IF LY>0 then TY% LY should be (TY-LY)/LY * (100)
IF LY =0 then TY%LY should be 100
IF LY=NULL (i.e., if store is closed last year we donu2019t pull record so LY will be empty) then TY%LY should be 100
IF TY=0 or NULL then TY%LY should be -100
So I tried writing as follow but getting errors
(LY<0)(TY-LY)/LY(-100) + (NOT(LY<=0))((TY-LY)/LY)100 + (LY==0)100 + NODIM(LY)100 + (TY==0)(-100) + NODIM(TY)(-100)
But it is giving errors. Can you please suggest me how to write that formula without effecting the current performance of the query.
Thanks in Advance,
Preethi

Hi Preethi,
I think that you can accomplish the desired results using the following formulas:
KEY FIGURE = NOT(F1=0) * F5 + (F1=0) * -100
F1 = NOERR(TY + 0)
F2 = NOERR(LY + 0)
F3 = NOERR( (F1-F2) / F2 ) * -100
F4 = F3 * -1
F5 = (F2<0) * F3 + (F2>0) * F4 + (F2=0) * 100
I hope it helps you.
Regards,
Maximiliano
