Last column value

Looking for simplest way to return last value in a column that is regularly added to. No blanks between numbers in the column. Would like to return the value to a given cell. Can do this in excel but having difficulty in numbers. Thanks.

Hi trexo,
Jerry's original solution, reproduced here, may be placed in any cell on the same table as the list of values in column B.
=OFFSET(B1, COUNT(B), 0)
It assumes that the first value in the list is in cell B2 (one row below the label in Row 1), and that (as you specified) there are no gaps in the data from that cell to the last one containing a value.
COUNT(B) counts the numerical values entered in column B; the result is used as the row-offset in the OFFSET function. Zero ( 0 ), the column-offset value in the formula, means 'the same column as the base, B1'.
Your Excel formula:
=index(D:D, Match(9.9999999999999E+307,D:D))
MATCH returns the position of the specified value in a list of values in a range.
The range here is column D, and the value to match (expressed as a base 10 number) is
99999999999999 followed by 294 zeroes, a rather large number, likely to be far greater than the largest number in column D.
MATCH in numbers can be set to find the largest close match, the smallest close match, or an exact match, with 'largest close match' the default choice. My assumption is that this is also true in Excel. If so, the expression in your Excel formula is looking for the "largest number in column D that is smaller than or equal to the search value."
IF the last number in the column is also the largest number in the column (and that number is smaller than 9.9999999999999E+307), then the formula will return the correct value. If the last value in column D is NOT also the largest value in column D, OR is larger than the search value, then the formula will not return the 'last value' in column D.
A Numbers similar to this would be:
=OFFSET(D1,MATCH(9.9999999999999E+307,$D)-1,0)
Here's an example, showing the results. The formula above is in B2; the same formula with the cell references changed to E1 and $E is in B3:
Note that both return the largest value in their column, not necessarily the 'last' value in that column.

Db_stat output question (last column value?)

Hi,
Searched everywhere, can not find this mentioned anywhere. What are the meanings of the columns in the db_stat -C output, for example:
Locks grouped by lockers:
Locker Mode Count Status \--------------- Object \------------
1 dd= 0 locks held 2 write locks 0 pid/thread 20910/1121282384
1 READ 1 HELD 840055011:840055011 handle 2
1 READ 1 HELD 840055011:840055011 handle 0
4 dd= 0 locks held 0 write locks 0 pid/thread 20910/1121282384
5 dd= 0 locks held 2 write locks 0 pid/thread 20910/1121282384
5 READ 1 HELD 840055038:840055038 handle 2
5 READ 1 HELD 840055038:840055038 handle 0
I take this to indicate:
Locker 1 has two READ locks on 840055011, which is an open handle
Locker 4 had been declared, but is now empty, awaiting its call to duty
Locker 5 has two READ locks on 840055038, again, an open handle
The pid and thread information are self-describing I believe.
My questions are, what would the difference be between the two different READ locks in, say, locker 1, one line ends w/ 2, the other w/ 0. Is this a problem in my code, could I possibly have opened the same handle twice?
Additionally, I know the database handle is being named 840055011 but is listed as "840055011:840055011", is this expected, or again, might I have an issue. I'm fairly sure this is simply naming and probably arbitrary.
If there is a source for the db_stat output that I have missed, by all means, please let me know, I've tried my best to RTFM, but couldn't find many M's.
FYI: transactional environment using the Java binding (not JE)
Thank you

Cumulated values, but last column sometimes empty

Hi,
We have a report which cumlated an amount key figure per fiscal period. The query shows the following results:
001.2009   002.2009   003.2009 004.2009
10                 20               30         40          --> every month we get +10
But know we have a data record, were we have no value for april and the report shows the following results:
001.2009   002.2009   003.2009 004.2009
10                 20               30
The last column is empty. Can somebody explain me this result? Is this normal? If I show the total cumulated result, the result is correct.
Thank you very much.
Jessica

Hi,
I suppose there is no data posted for Month of April and calmonth reads data from master data not the posted data, if it is right then the query is running fine.

SSRS - Expression to color column value dynamically in Matrix

Hi ,
I have a matrix which looks like :
The <<Expr>> value can be 1 /0 /"-" .
The Expr value is being calculated dynamically.
The data set query I am using has a column called due_days.
In the color expression of the <<Exp>> box I am using the expression as :
=IIf(Fields!Due_Days.Value>14 and Fields!Notes_Count.Value>0,"Blue",(Iif(Sum(Fields!Notes_Count.Value)=0 ,"Red","Black")))
My requirement is if the Due_Days column value is >14 then I need to highlight the value as blue else black and if value is 0 then red. When I use the above query it is just highlighting the color blue for 1st column only. Eg: 4th row . Due days for month
of Oct and Nov is > 14 but it shows blue only for month of oct.
How can i resolve the issue?

In select query i have 5 columns:
Due days(Which is difference between 2 dates) ,
Notes count (Which is just a count of notes entered or not having value 0/1 and value '-' if another column CRD is greater than the matrix month and year.)Eg: below date 11/12/2014 is greater than Oct 2014 hence Oct 2014 should have "-"
Month Name , Year , Month Nbr (last 6 months which I cross joined with the table to get counts for each month)
The matrix has year and last 6 month as column groups
Color coding should be if notes count is 0 then red ,if notes count is 1 and due_days> 14 then blue else black . When i try to use expression for color as i mentioned above, it colors only 1st colum.eg: 2nd row
Nov 2014 is blue but for jan 2014 also it should show blue as due days>14 .
Is there any way i can do that ??
Eg: data set returns value as :
Due Days        CRD                              Month
Month_Nbr    Year   Notes _Count
5             2014-11-28 00:00:00.000   December          12         2014

How to avoid to check if a column value is NULL?

Hi, I'm a newbee in Oracle.
I have a procedure like this:
create or replace
PROCEDURE get_employee
     v_first_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ,
     v_middle_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ,
     v_last_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ,
To select rows with matching multiple column values, I can simply do this:
SELECT *
FROM employee
WHERE first_name = v_first_name
AND middle_name = v_middle_name
AND last_name = v_last_name
The problem is v_middle_name can be NULL. This means,
I need check if v_middle_name is NULL, and if it is, I need use "IS NULL" instead, like this:
SELECT *
FROM employee
WHERE first_name = v_first_name
AND middle_name IS NULL
AND last_name = v_last_name
It seems very cumbersome to do a check for each column that can be null.
Is there a way that I do not need to do a check for every column?
or is it better to avoid having NULL values in those columns (and replace them with, say a space) ?
Thanks in advance.
Simon

Normally, you would do something like
SELECT *
FROM employee
WHERE first_name = NVL( v_first_name, first_name )
   AND middle_name = NVL(v_middle_name, middle_name )
   AND last_name = NVL(v_last_name, last_name )Of course, if you can ensure that NULL data is not allowed (without creating phony non-NULL data), that is a good thing. In most systems, for example, it is probably reasonable to require a non-NULL first and last name. But you almost certainly cannot require a middle name.

Referencing Aggregated Column Value in Where Clause

Hello -
I'm trying to determine how I can accomplish the following in the most straightforward, efficient way.
Among other things, I'm selecting the following value from my table:
max(received_date) as last_received_dateI also need to evaluate the "last_received_date" value as a condition in my where clause. However, I can't reference my aliased "last_received_date" column value, and when I try to evaluate max(received_date) in the where clause, I get the "group function is not allowed here" error.
Does anyone know of a good workaround?
Thanks,
Christine

Hi,
Column aliases can be used in the ORDER BY clause: aside from that, they cannot be used in the same query where they are defined. The workarounds are
(a) define the alias in a sub-query, and use it in a super-query, like Someoneelse did, or
(b) repeat the aliased expression, as in the HAVING-clause, below.
Aggregate functions are computed after the WHERE-clause. (That explains why you can do things like
SELECT MAX (received_date) last_received_date_2008
FROM    table_x
WHERE   TO_CHAR (received_date, 'YYYY') = '2008';).
The HAVING-clause is like the WHERE-clause, but it is applied after the aggregate functions are computed, e.g.
SELECT    deptno
,         MAX (recieved_date) AS last_received_date
FROM      table_x
GROUP BY deptno
HAVING    MAX (received_date)    > SYSDATE - 7   -- Only show deptartments with activity in the last week

How to get the last "reported" value in a cross tab

Dear all,
based on a BeX Query Universe I have built a report with a cross tab in webI.
Maybe you can help me with the following issue. There I have a problem: I want to get in the Total-column always the last reported value, e.g. for Number Total Customers "66", not for Mar or Apr, because they are null.
Calendar Month                      |Jan| |Feb| |Mar| |Apr| |Total|
Number Total Customers         |54|    |66| | |      | |       66
Number Active Customers      |57|    |71| | |      | |       71
I hope that you understand my problem and could help as soon as possible.
Thanks a lot in advance for your support.
Best regards.

How to accessing current row report column value in Lov Query?

Hi,
which access methods (eg. bind variables, substitutions, ...) for getting the current row report column value can be used in the "Lov Query" property of a report column?
As what I know of and what I have read on the forum there are no bind variables for the report columns. For the "Link Text" property it seems that the column values exist as substitution strings (#COLUMN_NAME#). But they don't work in the Lov Query. => And would be good because of a hard parse each time the Lov query is executed.
The following post (Re: Simulating a correlated sub query in lov
is showing a solution to use package variables for temporary storage of the referenced value, but the only problem with that solution is that if a new record is added with the "Add rows to tabular form" process the package variable still contains the value from the last queried row! Is there a way (variable, APEX package, ...) to determine if the lov query is executed for a new record so that the package can return null?
I know that I could write the package in a way that the value is immediately cleared when lov_pkg.keyval is called (one time read), but then I would have to create several variables if I'm accessing the value multiple times in the query or in another query => I think an one time read solution would be very obscurely.
Thanks for your help

Hi Patrick,
I agree that it's a waste to continually use Ajax to go back to the server to get the contents of a dynamic select list.
There are no bind variables for any row item - but what you do have, as per my previous post, is the value of the data entered by the user in the first row. You can pass this into your application process (using get.add("VARIABLENAME", value)), which can use it to retrieve the correct LOV in your Ajax code - this will give you a "bind variable" that your process can use.
What you could do, however, is generate hidden select lists on your page - one for each possible LOV list and replace the contents of the new row's select list with the contents of the appropriate hidden select list. This is easy to do with javascript (using innerHTML functions). Obviously, though, the usefulness of this depends on the number and size of the select lists.
Even if you don't generate them to start with, you can keep a copy of any select lists returned by Ajax in the DOM for use on new rows. So, if you have retrieved a select list, you will have a copy of it in DOM which you can then copy into the new row. If you don't have the list in DOM, use Ajax to get it, store a copy of it and copy it into the new row.
Which method you use will depend on the number/size of select lists needed. If they are few in number and/or size, I would suggest generating hidden lists. If they are large, use Ajax to get them once, store them and then retrieve them from the DOM when needed.
There is another thread here where Arie recommends going to the server every time to make sure you get the most up-to-date data for the lists. If you want to follow this advice, for this reason, use get.add("VARIABLENAME", value) to pass the value to your process. If this is not an issue, you can use one of the other methods I outlined above.

Andy

Error importing text file into SQL Server when last column is null

Hello all. Happy holidays!
I'm trying to import a text file into a SQL Server table, and I get the error below when it gets to a row (row 264) that has null in the last column. I'm guessing the null jumbles up the delimiters somehow. The nulls are not errors, and I need to import
them into the table with the rest of the rows. Any idea how I can do that?
Thanks!

Hi WeeLass,
The error that” Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "XYZ" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".” is generally error message, and the error indicates
that there is data type mismatch issue between the input columns and the output columns.
Based on your description, the issue is that you trying to convert a column contains empty value from string to integer data type for the output column "XYZ" in Flat File Source [1]. Please note that we cannot type an empty value as integer data
type column value, so the error occurs.
To fix this issue, just as you did, we should convert the data type for the output column "XYZ" in Flat File Source [1] back to DT_WSTR or DT_STR, then use a derived column task to replace the current column (UBPKE542). But the expression should
be like below:
LEN(TRIM(UBPKE542)) > 0 ? (DT_I8)UBPKE542 : NULL(DT_I8)
In this way, the data type of the column in SQL table would be int, and the empty value would be replaced with NULL.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How do I create a new row on tab out of the last column, last row?

JDev 11.1.2.1.0.
I've seen a few topics on this but none that I think were really very good solutions.
Use Case:
On tab out of the last column in the last row, a new row should be added to the end of the table. Bonus points for setting the focus to the first <af:inputText> of the newly created row.
Complications:
1. I'm having a heck of a time trying to find a function that returns the column's displayed index. Sadly, <column binding>.getDisplayIndex() returns -1 unless the user has manually re-ordered the column.
2. Value Change Listeners only fire if there is a value change. Guess that means I need to do client/server listeners to check each and every <af:inputText> for a tab press?
3. I'm not even going to get into setting the focus. With all the templates, regions, etc. going on, it's dang near impossible.
Any ideas on how to attack this one?

Hi,
You will need to use the Run Engine Installation Wizard found on the Tools menu. In addition you need to create a installation set for the operator interface.
Look at Chapter 16 Distrubuting TestStand ( chapter 17 for version 2).
Once you have created your installation, install is on your new system.
The serial number etc is part of the process model. When you run the entry point 'Test UUTs' the PreUUT callback is executed which asks the user for the serial number.
Hope this helps

Table Control + last column

Hello Friends,
i am facing a strange problem. I have created a table control using table control wizard. when I enter the values in table control select the entry and press okey button everything works fine. then I gave the program to user for test, and he came back with following issue:
He entred the data in the table control, and then he press the enter button. then he went to the last column and change the value, press again enter button, the value overwrite again ( which he has entered before ).
I went in debug mode to see what is going on, and surpringly while entring the value in the last column I press enter the control did not went to my module "Z_TAB_CTRL_modify input." rather it went in user_command. module.... and that's why it did not updated the value after user change in last column....
Any idea what I can do to fix this issue...

Filter a tableview based on a column value-Navigation Issues.

Hi,
I have a table view with total 99 values. The values are displayed in 10 tabs of the table view with 9 values in each tab.I go to the third tab and select a column value, which triggers an event and filters the result list from 99 to 12.
I am simply removing the collection and filling it again with fresh values.
My problem is-when i set the collection with new values, i want the end user to be navigated to the first tab.
But the user is always navigated to the second tab which has the last three values.
Is there any way to navigate the user to first tab of table view?
I have already tried-visibleFirstRow and it is not working.
Thanks and Regards,
Rohit

Hi Ashish,
You can implement some code in DO_INIT_CONTEXT to filter your Items' BOL collection based on the condition quantity <> 0. I believe the Quantity field is available in the BOL structure.
Here is a code snippet.
DATA: lr_col TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_col,
DATA: lr_node TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_property_access.
lr_node = me->typed_context->CONTEXT NODE->collection_wrapper->get_first( ).
WHILE lr_node IS BOUND.
CALL METHOD lr_node->get_properties
IMPORTING
es_attributes = ls_struct.
IF ls_struct-quantity = 0 .
lr_col->remove( iv_bo = lr_node ).
ENDIF.
lr_node = lr_col->get_next( ).
ENDWHILE.

A special character in the last column in my external table

Hello,
I'v made a external table that looks like this :
CREATE
TABLE "REC_XLS"
"FINANCE_DATE" VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
"CREATION_DATE" VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
"SENT_DATE" VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
"REMARKS" VARCHAR2(200 BYTE),
"REMAINING_QUANTITY" VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
"CODE" VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER DEFAULT DIRECTORY "LOADER" ACCESS PARAMETERS (
RECORDS DELIMITED BY newline LOAD WHEN CODE!=BLANKS Skip 1 FIELDS
TERMINATED BY 0X'09' MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL REJECT ROWS
WITH
ALL NULL FIELDS ( Finance_date,
creation_date, sent_date, Remarks,
remaining_quantity, code) location ( 'Finance.tsv' )
I exported the result in xls file and I saw in the last column a special character. The result of a copy and paste is prenseted here : "ABE
You should notice that the last quote is in the upper line instead of at the end of ABE. This means, I think, that there is a carriage return at the end. And the 0X'09' is the tab separator. How can I get rid of this character ?

my guess is that you run the load on unix server which uses default LF end-of-line character and the file has dos CRLF end-of-line, the easiest option is to change records delimiter in the DDL and replace "RECORDS DELIMITED BY newline" with code below
RECORDS DELIMITED BY '\r\n'in general end-of-line can be really any character, sample above shows CRLF but it can be TAB, space, | or any other character or set of characters. I have samples of special characters on my blog http://jiri.wordpress.com/2009/01/29/oracle-external-tables-by-examples-part-1/
hope this helps
