Joining Two Columns with Sharepoint Calculated Column

Ok, bear with me. I have a form where i'm collecting names from both AD and a Custom Entry. What I need to to is create a calculated column that pulls in the name from the AD column, or, if blank, concatenates the first and last names from two other columns.
I was thinking that I'd have to use and "IFBLANK" formula but that hasnt seemed to work for me. Any ideas?

you can use something like this
=IF(LEN([AD])>0,[AD],[first]&" "&[last])

How to join two tables with no similar columns

Hi all,
I have two tables as follows:
Table T1 have Attributes as follows:
GLCODE,
BRANCH,
ITEM_NUMBER,
DEMAND_DATE,
QUANTITY,
SOURCE
Table T2 have Attributes as follows:
FORECAST_DATE
Now in SQL if run the following stattement iam getting out put.
SELECT GLCODE,BRANCH,ITEM_NUMBER,DEMAND_DATE,QUANTITY, SOURCE,(SELECT DISTINCT FORECAST_DATE FROM T2) FROM T1
The above SQL Statement giving correct results for me.
The same SQL Statement how can we implement in mapping level?
Regards,
Ava

You have to specify an outer join, but how do you do that if there is no join to begin with? I would do the following (which I didn't test yet):
add an extra column (say C_JOIN) to the T2-ingroup of the join operator and fill it with from a constant operator with say value 1. Then use T2.C_JOIN (+) = 1 as the join condition.
If every record in T2 is guaranteed to have the same value, instead of using a deduplicator, which will read all records, sort them and deduplicate them, you can use a filter with filter condition ROWNUM < 2, which only will read one record.
I am facing almost the same problem but not entirely thou and I was wondering if you have an idea how to even start.
Problem:
I got this table:SQL> desc ita.tpis32_job_status
Name Null? Type
JOBID NOT NULL NUMBER
T1_ID NUMBER
QID NUMBER
REQ_TYPE VARCHAR2(10)
SUBMIT_TIME DATE
OWNERID VARCHAR2(30)
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(150)
STARTTIME DATE
ENDTIME DATE
STATUS VARCHAR2(50)
ERROR_ID NUMBER

SERVER_ID VARCHAR2(10)
DATABASE VARCHAR2(20)
PRIORITY NUMBER
NUM_LINES NUMBER
PROCESS_ID NUMBER
QUE_TIME NUMBER
STATUS_CODE NUMBER
ERROR_MSG VARCHAR2(500)
NUM_LINES_TS NUMBER
REMOTE_STATUS NUMBER
This the above table, i am looking for JOBID (a five digit number) like 25875.
What I want to do is add or append this five digit number to a string to find the corresponding table in dba_tables or all_tables. The only way I have try to do this is by writing PLSQL as you see from here:
Re: Use PLSQL to delete tables dynamically
When the select is writing properly, the result of the five digit number from JOBID and the string should look like the below result (job_(five digit_%).
My problem is there is no relationship between ALL_TABLES and the my own table (ita.tpis32_job_status). Any help will be appreciated.
TABLE_NAME
JOB_58871_OUTDATA
JOB_58868_TS
JOB_58868_OUTDATA
JOB_58867_TS
JOB_58867_CMDLBL_2
JOB_58867_OUTDATA
JOB_58866_TS

Joining Two Tables with a DISTINCT column value

I have two tables I need to join, but the 'left' table I only need DISTINCT for a column.
create table t1
bid number(8),
b_number number(8),
dset varchar2(20),
misc varchar2(20)
create table t2
cid number(8),
track number(8)
select bid, cid
from   ( select bid, b_number
            from   t1
            where dset = 'ABC1234'
            and    misc = 'TEXT'
         ) x,
         ( select cid, track
           from t2
           where exists ( select 1 from t2 where t2.track = t1.b_number )
         ) z
where x.b_number = z.trackI only need records with DISTINCT cid values, but I keep getting multiple instanced of cid.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Maybe this?
select distinct cid
from t2
where track in
select b_number
from t1
where dset = 'ABC1234'
and misc = 'TEXT'
)

Cartesian of data from two tables with no matching columns

Hello,
I was wondering – what’s the best way to create a Cartesian of data from two tables with no matching columns in such a way, so that there will be only a single SQL query generated?
I am thinking about something like:
for $COUNTRY in ns0: COUNTRY ()
for $PROD in ns1:PROD()
return <Results>
<COUNTRY> {fn:data($COUNTRY/COUNTRY_NAME)} </COUNTRY>
<PROD> {fn:data($PROD/PROD_NAME)} </PROD>
</Results>
And the expected result is combination of all COUNTRY_NAMEs with all PROD_NAMEs.
What I’ve noticed when checking query plan is that DSP will execute two queries to have the results – one for COUNTRY_NAME and another one for PROD_NAME. Which in general results in not the best performance ;-)
What I’ve noticed also is that when I add something like:
where COUNTRY_NAME != PROD_NAME
everything is ok and there is only one query created (it's red in the Query plan, but still it's ok from my pov). Still it looks to me more like a workaround, not a real best approach. I may be wrong though...
So the question is – what’s the suggested approach for such queries?
Thanks,
Leszek
Edited by xnts at 11/19/2007 10:54 AM

Which in general results in not the best performanceI disagree. Only for two tables with very few rows, would a single sql statement give better performance.
Suppose there are 10,000 rows in each table - the cross-product will result in 100 million rows. Sounds like a bad idea. For this reason, DSP will not push a cross-product to a database. It will get the rows from each table in separate sql statements (retrieving only 20,000 rows) and then produce the cross-product itself.
If you want to execute sql with cross-products, you can create a sql-statement based dataservice. I recommend against doing so.

Join two list with condition using caml query in SharePoint 2013 with client object model

Hi,
Want to join two list to get all fields from both list.
Am new to sharepoint and sharepoint 2013. Am working in sharepoint 2013 online apps. Am using context.executeQueryasync to load list and get items from list. Am able to get items from single list with caml query, but not able to get both list field values
with joins. I did lot of surfing..but not..
Below is my code..
ListName1 : "AssignedTasks"
ListName2 : "Tasks"
var assignedQueryTest = "<View><Joins><Join Type='INNER' ListAlias='Tasks'><Eq><FieldRef Name='TaskId' RefType='Id'/><FieldRef List='Tasks' Name='ID' /></Eq></Join></Joins>"
+ "<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='TitleValue' /><FieldRef Name='ActionItemsValue' /></ViewFields>"
+ "<ProjectedFields>"
+ "<Field Name='TitleValue' Type='Lookup' List='Tasks' ShowField='Title' /><Field Name='ActionItemsValue' Type='Lookup' List='Tasks' ShowField='ActionItems' />"
+ "</ProjectedFields>"
+ "</View>";
var web = context.get_web();
var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle("AssingedTasks");
var myQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
myQuery.set_viewXml(assignedQueryTest);
var myItems = list.getItems(myQuery, "Include(TitleValue,ActionItemsValue)");
context.load(myItems);
context.executeQueryAsync(function () { if(myItems.get_count()>0){....}
}, errorCallback);
Here am able to get "AssignedTasks" list field values but not able to get "Tasks" list field values.
Can you please help me to resolve the issue. Or new idea for join. I have add the condition also in the query.
If anybody have good sample, please provide.
Thanks,
Pariventhan
Pariventhan.S

Hi Pariventhan,
I don't know about join but I have a workaround of this problem.
Declare one variable (itemcollection) globally. Load all the items "AssignedTasks" using context.load.
In the success method call another CAML query using <IN> tag of the ID of the items from the second list (Assuming you have look-up column of the ID of the first list to the second list).
If this is not clear to you then please let me know. If possible then I can provide code sample.
Thanks,

Need help with a calculated column - is there any way to reference a value in the current row?

Hey guys,
I'm a bit of a DAX newbie, and I'm running into a block. I'm creating a Power View report about IT tickets. We are going to be creating a cube to automate the data soon, I'm currently working with a flat Excel Data Table of data to demonstrate the Power
View reporting capabilities to the team. I need the default display to show the top 4-5 items basked on the Ticket Count. The three applicable columns I'm using are the TicketID, the ContactReason, and the AssetCategory - all three are
text. One slide will show the top five Contact Reasons by Ticket Count, and the other will show the top five Categories by Ticket Count. The users will see this default view, but will be able to change it to see differently ranked items or can clear the
ranking slicer altogether.
What I've accomplished so far is to create the Calculated Field [Ticket Count] = COUNTA(Table1[TicketID])
And 2 other calculated fields:
[Contact Rank] = RANKX(ALL(Table1[ContactReason]),[Ticket Count],,,DENSE)
[Asset Rank] = RANKX(ALL(Table1[AssetCategory]),[Ticket Count],,,DENSE)
If I were creating a Pivot Table, this would be great. These fields calculate everything the right way. The problem is, I need to have a Rank slicer on each slide and the calculation by itself contains no data - with no data, there's nothing to slice. I
realized I need to actually have columns of data so I can create a slicer. I need each row of the table to show the same [Contact Rank] for every instance of a particular ContactReason (and the same for the [Asset Rank] and AssetCategory).
The RANKX formulas pasted into the Calculated Column section only show a value of 1 - with no Pivot table summarizing the fields, it's counting each row's ticket once, giving every line the tied Rank of #1.
I've solved the problem in Excel by creating 2 Pivot Tables on a separate sheet that have the data field and the calculated field for ContactRason and AssetCategory. Then on my Excel Data Table, I've added two columns that do a VLOOKUP and pull over a the
Calculated Rank from each Pivot Table that match the ContactReason and AssetCategory fields. This works on the flat Excel Data Table now, but will not be a solutions when we start pulling the data from the cube (and there is no flat table).
What I think I need is an Expression for the RANKX formula that can give me, for each row, the count of all of the times a ContactReason shows up in an entire column. There's only about 100,000 lines of data and each ContactReason or AssetCategory
may show up several thousand times. But if I can get the expression to return that count, then the RANKX formula should work in the Column. If it wasn't a DAX formula, I'd use a COUNTIF and say 'Count the entire ContactReason column anytime it's equal to the
ContactReason on THIS row', but in DAX I don't know how to reference a single value in a row. I've tried the CALCULATE() formula, but it seems like the filter needs a specific value, and doesn't work on a dynamic "cell" value.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I hope it all makes sense!)

If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
=
RANKX(
ALL(Table1),
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(table1),
ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
DENSE
If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?

Issue with non calculated column in a fact table

Hi All,
With 3 facts(Fact1,Fact2,Fact3) and 2 Confirmed Dimensions my joins work fine in Criteria when I include All calculated columns from facts. If I try to include a non calculated column from Fact1(Which is a number Data type) Columns from Fact2 and Fact3 show Null values. I know it is not recommended to include dimension columns in fact , does OBIEE not support Number type non calculated columns as well? Is there any work around that I can bring in my non calculated column from Fact and still get results for other fact columns.Iam at 11.1.1.7 of OBIEE
Let me know if Iam not clear.
Your help is much Appreciated.
Thanks,
Vineela.

i would like to add 2 fields into my fact tables - LOAD ID (populated by a sequence during each load) and LOAD DATE.
as these fields are not related to any reporting dimensions, it is still possible to add them in OWB ? the fact wizard always ask for a foreign key to a dimension ...
Duncan,
If you want to add non dimensional attributes to a fact by using OWB, you can create additional measures to it and use them as attributes.

Creating a Status column (IF statement/calculated column)

I'm developing list for managing a project with 11 columns each representing a project milestone.
We'll call them A,B,C...K.
"A" representing a status of "Project Started" and K representing "Project Complete" with various statuses in between.
When a milestone has been reached, the date is input into the appropriate column. So when the project is complete, there will be dates in all columns A-K
I wish to incorporate a new column that indicates the current status depending on if columns A-K have been filled in.
So if all columns are blank, a status of "Awaiting start" is indicated.
If column A is filled in with a date, a status of "A" is indicated.
If columns A and column B are filled in then a status of "B" is indicated.
If columns A, B and C are filled in then a status of "C" is indicated. * * If all the columns are filled in with dates, a status of "K" is indicated.
Any ideas? Some form of If statement in a calculated Status column?

Hello,
You can use nested if statement something like below.
For example, I have one column named as 'Score' and the requirement is to perform quartile breakup based on score so for that I can use below calculated formula in my calculated column.
=IF(INT(Score)>85,"85 Above"
,IF(AND(85>=INT(Score),INT(Score)>=80),"85-80"
,IF(AND(79>=INT(Score),INT(Score)>=75),"79-75"
,IF(INT(Score)<75,"Below 75","0"))))
Have below links for more details.

Join two tables with no matching records

Hi All,
I have two tables which have got data as below. Now I need to join those two tables but there are no matching rows or columns in those tables. I have used OUTER JOIN but query was taking more than 5 mnts to run. Whats the best way to join two tables where
there are no matching records.
Table : Sections &Table : orders
I am expecting the final output like I have mentioned below.
How can i write a JOIN. Note there are no matching records from both the tables.
Pls.This is a very urgent requirement.Regards

How to refer a column in a calculated column in Answers Criteria

Hi All,
I have a set of columns (which contains column level filters).
I also have 2 more calculated columns whose formula is based on the earlier columns (like (col1-col2)/col1 ).
Presently, i'm using the col1 and col2 formulas and placed them in the calculated cols.
Instead, is there any way to refer to the columns(col1, col2) without placing its col formula, in the calculated column.
is there any such thing like.. ({c1} - {c2}) / {c1}
Thank you,
Raghu

Hi,
Thank you for the replies.
actually i have a huge formula in 'col 1' and 'col 2' as well
and in the new calculated col, i'm again using that huge formula to implement the logic col1-col2/col1.
so, will this affect the performance.?
or the performance will be the same?
Thank you,
Raghu
