Formula to get last record entered for a specific code in a field
I work at an inpatient facility where our patients experience several movement actions -- transfers from unit to unit, Leaves, return from leaves, and change in commitment status. We collect all of these actions in one table. For our census report we use a subreport to show the list of patients who are on leave. The problem I am having is pulling the most current movement that was a leave if the last movement action code entered was a change in commitment status. We really should not have put the change in commitment in this table as it is not a movement. When a change in commitment occurs and the patient is on leave, they drop off my report because the last change was not a leave. We have to enter the leave again so it is the last record entered to fix.
The table contains these fields:
Doc_ID
Parent_ID
Folder_ID
Effective Date
From_Unit
To_Unit
Time_of_Change
Leave_status_Code
Move_Action_Code
Commit_Status_Code
The Move_Action_Code field contains these codes:
L = Leave
C = Change in Commitment Status
B = Return From Leave
I = Initial Admission
D = Discharge
R = Recommitment
V = Unit to unit transfer
A patient may have several leaves in the same admission (home visit, then back, etc.). I need a formula to show only most current leave if they haven't returned from leave and need to totally ignore any change in commitment status.
Thanks in advance to everyone for your help in this forum!Hi Jerri,
To identify a patient, I assume it would be Folder_ID. Create a group on this field. Also create a group on Effective Date.
Hide the Detail section and the Group Headers for both of these. You can also hide the Group Footer for Effective Date.
In the Group Footer for Folder_ID, drop in the Move_Action_Code and any other fields you want.
When you look at your report, this will show you the last Move_Action_Code for that patient.
If you can group your data properly, the Group header will always show the first record and the Group Footer will always show the last record.
Hope this helps,

Programming Challenge -- Your chance to win an Ultra 20 Workstation.
In order to celebrate our first ever release of early Alpha bits of Sun Studio
Compilers for Linux OS we've decided to give all of you a chance to experience
first hand how indispensable our tools can be in the most challenging situations

of your application should be identical to the output produced by the following
command:

Do you have any solution?

Since you don’t allow emails any more – I suspect because of the numerous complaints with your service and the way you treat people that you don’t want documented, I am calling and I want this call recorded for future reference.
I have been a long time faithful customer of vzw and although the past year I have been late on payments many times and really couldn’t afford your exorbitant prices for services lots of other companies offer sometimes three times cheaper than what you charge, I have hung in there trying my best to meet my obligations.
This month has been no exception. You don’t know the background; the whole story of people’s lives. I know you could care less because all you care about is the profit-the money that comes in.
I was told when I agreed to pay my bill on the third per the recorded message that I had 14 days to pay…you cut me off anyway. The phones are not the tissue; your suspending my service means I cannot work. I may lose my job…how do you justify that? In any case? The least you could do would be to keep 4986 on and cut the phones off. But no. You refuse to compromise and meet the basic needs of your customer. What does that say about your company? I tried to call back on three separate occasions to tell you I couldn’t pay because of unexpected expenses but couldn’t get out of the automated system…sadly couldn’t get to a real person which also speaks volumes to me.
All this tells me this is a company I don’t wish to be affiliated with any more. As soon as I can, I will discontinue service with you…I know you could care less. I will honor the remaining portion of the contract but that’s it. You don’t deserve my business. I am a good, hardworking person who, at the sacrifice of myself and my needs, always pays her bills…albeit late at times. I realize others tell you stories and lies to justify themselves. That’s not me. If you knew what I had been through the last 7 yrs you would marvel that I am still on my feet…don’t judge too quickly. You could be wrong…and in my eyes you are by doing this to me.
God will see us through this extremely scary time of that I have no doubt. No thanks to your company and lack of understanding and mercy. I am doing the best I can. Sadly you are not.
See I have choices. MANY choices of providers for services you offer. I don’t have to be treated like this. I don’t have to succumb to your coldness and callousness. I intend to choose better (and cheaper). If your company doesn’t get the “people factor” back you will be sorry.Problem here is you admit you cannot afford the service.
And you want to blame Verizon for losing a job because you have no cell phone.
If your job depends on that phone I would pay it on time every time if you need a job to pay your bill.
No other service is going to treat you any different. And if you cannot afford Verizon's monthly invoice how are you going to afford new devices, activation fees, possible security deposits on any other cellular carrier? You can't.
Also if you made an arraignment to pay and then decide you cannot do so, why should Verizon extend you service or credit, or why is it you want to use the service and data and not pay for it as agreed.
Get a prepay phone. Its evident the cost is too high for you to afford on post pay.
Good Luck -

Since the last software update for mountain lion, I am having a problem when trying to remove any screenshots to the trash. A box appears saying "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this"
I have checked Finder Preferences and cannot find any box that I can 'UNTICK' to resolve this. I sometimes take a lot of screenshots when I am researching something and now find I have to enter my password for every screenshot to be removed to trash.
Anyone got a solution please, ThanksHave you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Query to find first and last call made by selected number for date range
Hi,
query to find first and last call made by selected number for date range
according to filter:
mobile_no : 989.....
call_date_from : 25-april-2013
call_date_to : 26-april-2013
Please helpHi,
It sounds like you want a Top-N Query , something like this:
WITH got_nums AS
SELECT table_x.* -- or list columns wanted
, ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY call_date ) AS a_num
, ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY call_date DESC) AS d_num
FROM table_x
WHERE mobile_no = 989
AND call_date >= DATE '2013-04-25'
AND call_date < DATE '2013-04-26' + 1
SELECT * -- or list all columns except a_num and d_num
FROM got_nums
WHERE 1 IN (a_num, d_num)
;This forum is devoted to the SQL*Plus and iSQL*Plus front ends. This question doesn't have anything to do with any front end, does it? In the future, you'll get better response if you post questions like this in the PL/SQL.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).
