Logical Agregated Column with formula

Hi all,
I need to create an agregated column of a field that have a formula. I know you haven't understood anything so here is an example :)
Source Table:
A B C
001 'ZZ' 'ZZ'
001 'ZZ' 'ZZ'
001 'ZZ' 'YY'
002 'XX' 'TT'
003 'JJ' 'JJ'
Desired Result: (E is--> SUM(CASE WHEN B=C THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)) )
D E
001 2
002 0
003 1
What I have tried:
In the Business Model, I created a column with the option: "Use existing logical columns as the source" where I typed the formula: SUM(CASE WHEN B=C THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)), that rises the following error: "State: S1000. Código: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: S1000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22019] Function Sum does not support non-numeric types. (S1000)".
I changed the formula adding CAST operators for 1 and 0 to be INT but it didn't work.
* Creating the column "E" in Answers with the formula -->SUM(CASE WHEN B=C THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)) works but I would like to have "E" already in the repository.
Thanks in advance.

Use (CASE WHEN B=C THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) using physically mapped columns and not through "Use existing logical columns as the source".
Then specify sum as aggragation rule.

How do I duplicate row or column with formulas?

I've never been a big spreadsheet user but I recall being able to intuitively (the only time ever with a MS product) find a way to duplicate a row or column in Excel so that it would replicate the same formulas as the row/column immediately adjacent to it. Can this be done with Numbers?
Example: Say I've got a row that has values across with a Sum Total cell and an Average cell calculated with formulas. I'd like to add other rows below so they inherit the same formulas (referencing cells in the new rows). I'm already getting irritated just thinking about having to assign formulas over and over again with each new row.
I hope I'm just missing something obvious.
CA

There is a duplicate command under the Edit Menu item. The short cut is the apple key and "D". However, I have the trial copy and it is grayed out. Meaning it is not working. I have my bought copy arriving next week. Hope this is not grayed out in the bought version. This is a deal breaker. I use this command all the time. They need to fix this right away.

How to pass prompt value to columns with formula?

Hello guys
I have a situation:
I have a report with 1 column name 'product' and in this column it has a case statement like 'case when item is ('a','b','c','d') then 'Men' else 'women' end'
Then I have created a dashboard prompt of the exact same column, and I defined the same case statement in the prompt's column formula as the same.. Then I tested the prompt and it is returning only 2 values 'men', 'women'..
However, when putting the prompt and report on the same dashboard, the report is not accepting the prompt values..
Then I set the presentation variable on the prompt and call it 'Product', then in the report I created a filter on 'product' column as equal to presentation variable 'product'--- I tried with and without single quotes.. So the filter itself looks like : case when ...... is equal to / is in @{product}
However, when I then return back to the dashboard, I am getting the error:
State: HY000. Code: 388918336. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27005] Unresolved column: "Product". (HY000)
Could anyone help?
Thanks

Hola
is possible that are you using a BINS agrupation into the Column Formula?
if you form a CASE statement using a Bins agrupation, in the column Formula, this must be disabled to match statements between columns and DB Prompt
if you are using a BINS agrupation to form the CASE statement, you have to delete the bins agrupation in the Column but keep the CASE statement

New column with formula in Report Painter - GRR2

Hi gurus,
I want to insert a new element in my new report painter created by GRR2. I took a standard report and I copied the report. I know how to insert a new element.
The problem is I want to choose the value of a field in PROJ table for create a formula in my report. The users insert a value in user-define fields of CJ20n, and i would like to choose this value for create a formula in my report.
Can I create a formula to take this value from the table PROJ? If I need to create a characteristic for choose this field, as I can create?
Thanks.

Hi,
My question is:
Can i pick a value of a table (proj) for use in formula of report painter??
Many thanks.

How to make table column with formula

Hi all..
This is my class
public class MyNumber{
     private int num;
     public int getNum(){
          return num;
     public void setNum( int num){
          this.num = num;
}Consider I design a table with FXML editor ( Scene Builder in this case )
and these are some of my codes
private TableView tab;
private TableColumn<MyNumber, Integer> tabColInput;
private TableColumn tabColOutput;
tab.setEditable(true);
tabColInput.setEditable(true);
tabColInput.setCellValueFactory( new PropertyValueFactory<Person,Integer>("num") );

                ).setNum(t.getNewValue());
);Problem:
I want to make tabColOutput to always show the result for tabColInput times 2
eg:
When I change a row in tabColInput to 10, tabColOutput will show 20
When I change a row in tabColInput to 3, tabColOutput will show 6
Could anyone advice me how to do this?

OBIEE 10g - Logical column with static value

I created a logical column with static numeric value in it and added it to presentation layer. The column is not showing up in Answers. All other columns I added are showing up. The issue is with this one only.
I have verified permissions on this column in presentation layer. I tried reloading server metadata in answers, restarting all services but it didn't help.
One thing I noticed this column is showing fx icon instead of Σ icon.

Kid,
The fx means it is a calculated column/formula and the sigma means that you've added some aggregation type to the column.
Either way it shouldn't matter and your column should be showing up.
I would attempt to create a new column and in the fx field try entering static text and see if that allows the column to be visible after dragging it to the presentation layer subject area.
Also what is the value that you are adding?

Create a logical column with more than one data source

I'm having a problem to create a logical column with more than one data source in Siebel 7.8.
What I want to do is the union of 2 physical tables in one logical table.
For example, I have a "local_clients" table and a "abroad_clients" table. What I want is to have a logical table "clients" with the client data from the 2 tables.
What I've tried is dragging the datasources I need onto the logical column.
However this isn't working because it only retrieves the data from the first data source.

Hi!
I think it is not possible to do this just by dragging the columns to the logical table. A logical table can have more than one source, but I think each column must have just one direct source column.
I'm not sure, but maybe you should do the UNION SQL to get the data of the two tables. In the physical layer, when you create a new physical table, it's possible to set the "table type" as a "SELECT". I didn't try that, but it seems that it's possible to have the union table in the physical layer.
Bye.

HT3354 How do i create a column with a percentage formula

Im really struggling creating a line of columns with different formulas.
colin

The title of your post and the text of your post sound like two different questions. One is about creating a column of percentages and the other is about a "line of columns with different formulas". Neither gives enough information about the problem for anyone to provide a good answer, unless we guess at what you are asking. Here is my guess:
If B2 has a number in it and C2 has the formula =B2*5%, C2 will be 5% of B2. If you copy/paste or fill-down that formula to the rest of the column, C3 will be 5% of B3, C4 will be 5% of B4, etc.
I have no idea what "a line of columns with different formulas" means so I'm not going to hazard a guess.

Table with a column with RANK formula does not sort properly

Hello,
I have a table in excel with Rank function that reference another column with numerical values. The results in the column (called Rank) with rank function are as expected but Sorting (ascending or descending) doesn't
work as expected on the column . The Rank gets sorted in the following order: 1,15, 2,19, 8 , 4......
Few things that I've verified are:
1. Verified that there are no text values in the column.
2. Tried changing the format to number but this still doesn't resolve the sort issue.
3. Copied the values from the Rank column to a different sheet and applying sort works as expected.
Does anyone have any idea on what could be wrong? Appreciate your help!
Thanks!

Resolved the issue. I had an incorrect formula in one of the that was referenced by the Rank column.

Suppress Missing Data not work in web form with formula column inside

Dear All,
I've a planning web form with formula column inside to calculate the variance and % variance. But missing cell can't be suppressed, although I've checked the 'Suppress Missing Blocks' and 'Suppress Missing Data' options.
Anyone have face the same problem..?? and how to fixed it..??
thanks.
Regards,

There is a known issue that sounds like the problem you are experiencing
10358200 - If a formula column exists in a data form, selecting the Suppress missing option does not hide rows that do not contain data.

BW 3.5 - Issue with formula variable with replacement path

Dear experts,
I'm facing an issue with formula variable with replacement path.
Just to clarify, I know replacement paths is raising a lot of questions but I've been using this functionnality extensively in the past, both in 7.0 and 3.5, so I'm not looking for basic information about how to use it.
I'm trying to setup a simple report that would show total values per plant of Purchase Order < 100
To do so I've setup a calculated key figure as follow:
VAR1 * ("PO value" < 100 ) * "PO value"
VAR1 is a formula variable with replacement path on 'purchase order' and value attribute 'constant =1'.
(The report has to show values summarized by plant but should not show the detail PO by PO, so I'm not looking at a solution based on condition)
The report as characteristic "plant" in rows and my CKF in columns.
Now let's take an example. I have 3 POs in Plant 1:
PO1 -> 150
PO2 -> 90
PO3 -> 80
Because of the variable with replacement path, the result in my query should be:
plant1 = 170 (even though characteristic "purchase order" is not in my rows, system should evaluate PO one by one and return values only for those two that are below 100).
But the result coming is 320, which is wrong.
I've done the same report on many other 3.5 systems and it worked perfectly, and I am not able to get proper support from SAP OSS who keep saying that this functionnality is not ready in 3.5 (although I've provided screenshot of this working on another 3.5 system!!! how frustrating...)
They have also pointed to problems of Before and After aggregation but that has absolutely no impact. Once again, the scenario is working perfectly on other 3.5 systems with the same query design, so i'm sure it has nothing to do with Query Designer options.
Would anyone have ever come to an equivalenet problem? I'm wondering whether the DB itself could not play a role in the variable with ref characteristic 'constant =1' ...
Any though is welcome!
thanks

Hi,
The text variable is replaced when the exact date is clear for this key figure column according to the restriction.
To achive this, please make sure that either the variable is directly restricted in the key figure selection, or that the date characteristic is in drilldown.

Patricia

Issue with formula collision

Hello Experts,
I am facing an issue with Formula collision, below is an expample
My requirement is to use Column formula for the value (????) in the below table.
                              Restriction (C1)     Restriction (C2)     Formula(C1-C2)
Restriction (R1)     4              2                                 2
Restriction (R2)     8              3                                 5
Formula(R1+R2)     12              5                              ????
I have tried using the below settings
1) Formula(R1+R2) "Standard"
2) Formula(C1-C2) " Use result of this formula"
But still getting row formula being used, please advice.
Thanks,

Select the Formula which you created Formula(C1-C2)
In the properties tab Go to Calculations--> Select the Check Box Cumulated
In the Drop Down for Calculation Direction Select --> Calculate Along Columns
If you require you can also select the Check Box Also Apply to Results
Hope it Helps.

How to prevent duplication on a column with condition

Hello everyone,
I need some advice here. At work, we have an Oracle APEX app that allow user to add new records with the automatic increment decision number based on year and group name.
Says if they add the first record , group name AA, for year 2012, they get decision number AA 1 2013 as their displayed record casein the report page.
The second record of AA in 2013 will be AA 2 2013.
If they add about 20 records , it will be AA 20 2013.
The first record for 2014 will be AA 1 2014.
However, recently , we get a user complaint about two records from the same group name have the same decision number.
When I looked into the history table, and find that the time gap between 2 record is just about 0.1 seconds.
Besides, we have lookup table that allows admin user to update the Start Sequence number with the restraint that it has to be larger than the max number of the current group name of the current year.
This Start sequence number and group name is stored together in a table.
And in some other special case,user can add a duplicate decision number for related record. (this is a new function)
The current procedure logic to add new record on the application are
_Get max(decision_number) from record table with chosen Group Name and current year.
_insert into the record table the new entered record with decision number + 1
_ update sequence number to the just added decision number.
So rather than utitlising APEX built-in automatic table modification process, I write a procedure that combine all the three process.
I run some for loop to continuously execute this procedure, and it seems it can autotically generate new unique decision number with time gap about 0.1 second.
However, when I increase the number of entry to 200, and let two users run 100 each.
If the time gap is about 0.01 second, Duplicate decision numbers appear.
What can I do to prevent the duplication ?
I cannot just apply a unique constraint here even for all three columns with condition, as it can have duplicate value in some special condition. I don't know much about using lock and its impact.

create or replace

Why not using a sequence for populating the decision_number column ?
Sequence values are guaranteed to be unique so there's no need to lock anything.
You'll inevitably have gaps and no different groups will have the same decision_number in common.
Having to deal with consecutive numbers fixations you can proceed as
with
case_record as
(select 2012 decision_year,'AA' group_abbr,1 decision_number from dual union all
select 2012,'BB',2 from dual union all
select 2012,'AA',21 from dual union all
select 2012,'AA',22 from dual union all
select 2012,'BB',25 from dual union all
select 2013,'CC',33 from dual union all
select 2013,'CC',34 from dual union all
select 2013,'CC',36 from dual union all
select 2013,'BB',37 from dual union all
select 2013,'AA',38 from dual union all
select 2013,'AA',39 from dual union all
select 2013,'BB',41 from dual union all
select 2013,'AA',42 from dual union all
select 2013,'AA',43 from dual union all
select 2013,'BB',45 from dual
select decision_year,

One Key FIgure in more than one column with different restrictions

Hi,
I am using a key figure in more than one column with different restrictions, but restriction in one column is affecting the result in other column. What shall i do to make it independent from one another??

Hi Pravender Chauhan,
If you want in Single column different value for different Rows based on same Key Figure, you can create Structure where you can define different logic for each row but using same key figure.
If you want to use different Key figures then you should have to Restricted Key Figure and for any calculation you can use calculated Key figure.
Assign points if Useful.
