Need Help on Filtering a column

Hi below is my requirement.
ColA ColB ColB
In the above, both the column 2 and 3 are the same columns, but i need to filter the column 3 alone based on another column. Please help.

Hi,
Write a case statement on 3rd column ...
case when table1.status = 'Complete' then value(2nd col) end
or
case when table1.status = 'Complete' then value(2nd col) else null end
Updated Post
Can you paste your code (case statement)
case when table_name.status ='Complete' then table_name.value end
or
case when table_name.status ='Complete' then table_name.value else null end
Cheers,
Aravind

Need help in writing NVARCHAR2 column to an excel sheet

Hi All,
I have a NVARCHAR2 column in my table. I want to store the data present in the column into an excel file. When i write the data to an excel file the data is getting converted to some other form. It's not in human readable form.
Language is not fixed for the column.
I need help in storing the NVARCHAR2 data into an excel file without any implicit conversion done by the oracle.
Please help.
Thanks,

Need help on getting the column names of Tabletype

I have a table Mapping with the following values: This Mapping table contains the table names (in Tabname) and the column names(colname) of various tables and values(ValuesTobeFilled) for the columns.
I have to insert into the tables present in the Tabname field with the values present in the ValuesTobeFilled in the columns present in the Colname field.
Note: The Mapping table need not contain all the columns of the base table. The columns that are not present can be filled with null. And this mapping table is not fixed i.e. rows can be inserted/deleted frequently.
Sample values in mapping table:
Tabname                        Colname        ValuesTobeFilled
sample_items     Eno     Corresponding Expression to get the values from XML input
sample_items     Ename     Corresponding Expression to get the values from XML input
XXX     YYY     Corresponding Expression to get the values from XML input
Before filling in the actual tables, I have to store the entire data temporarily and I have used a tabletype declared as follows:
TYPE T_sample_items IS TABLE OF sample_items%ROWTYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
l_sample_items T_sample_items;
Where the table sample_items have the following columns:
•     Eno
•     Ename
•     Eaddress
•     Eemail
So, the tabletype should be filled as:
Eno     Ename     Eaddress     EEmail
1     XXX     -     -
I have declared a cursor to select the values from mapping table and I need to fill in the ValuesTobeFilled values to the corresponding table.
CURSOR c_xpath (c_tname mapping.TABNAME%type)
IS
select * from mapping where tabname = c_tname;
CURSOR c_tables
IS
SELECT DISTINCT TABNAME FROM mapping;
FOR crsr IN c_tables
LOOP
p_tname := CRSR.TABNAME;
FOR csr IN c_xpath(p_tname)
LOOP
IF l_xml_doc.EXISTSNODE(CSR.XPATH_EXP) = 1
THEN
l_node_value := l_xml_doc.extract(CSR.XPATH_EXP).getStringVal(); -- This is the value to be stored in the corresponding column
ELSE
     l_node_value := NULL;
END IF;
IF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘eno’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).eno := l_node_value;
ELSIF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘ename’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).name := l_node_value;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
And I need to eliminate hard coding while comparing the column names (in the following piece of code) as the Mapping table values are subject to insertion/deletion:
IF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘eno’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).eno := l_node_value;
ELSIF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘ename’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).ename := l_node_value;
END IF;
I need to insert the values directly into the tabletype without this hardcoding. Please suggest me ways to compare the mapping table values with the field (column) names of the tabletype. If it is not possible using tabletype, please suggest any other ways of fixing the problem.
Many thanks,
Gopi

I take it this isn't going to be a serious production system at the end of the day?
Storing metadata in tables for extraction and insertion of data is just wrong in so many ways. It smells heavily of Entity Attribute Value modelling, which is the most wrong way to use a relational database and is known to have major performance implications and be liable to bugs and issues. The idea that EAV modelling allows for 'generic' databases where new data items can be added flexibly later on without having to change code is usually justified with an excuse of "it means we don't have to update all our tables when we want a new column" which is easily countered with "if you're adding a single column a good relational design wouldn't require you to add it to more than one table anyway in most cases".
Just what exactly are you trying to do and why? There has to be a better way.

Need help on filtering out one record from a report and open in new page

Hi I am new and embarrassed to write in the forum asking silly questions. Thing is I am learning all from scratch without help from anyone. I have created a database (have previous knowledge only from Access) and have managed to create a beautiful report from a search filter. This report lines up several records matching what I needed. Now, I want to make the whole report with hyperlinks to a detailed page on each of the records in the report. I have tried using the feature where one can make one column hyperlinked and redirect to a new page, where I am getting all the records again - instead of only getting the record I am clicking on. I have looked and looked in the forums without finding solution and I have tested and tried various methods without luck. I am suspecting that I need some sort of knowledge on how to write a select query with where conditions that can apply to filtering out a record from one report to get another detailed on only one object (i.e. record). :/ Stupid or what?

Hrefna.
What you need to look into is two things:
1) The link you defined, needs to set additional attributes for the target page. In the "Column Link" box, you have set the link to "Page in this Application" and followed by the page number (let's say, Page 10). Below that, you should set an Item to an item on you target page (let's call that P10_PRODUCT_ID). This item should be the primary key of your detail table (on the targe page). You can select this item from the popup list. The Value of the item should be picked from a popup list as well, being the value from the record you clicked on. This should then transfer your selected item to your page. The URL will then have something like P10_PRODUCT_ID:5 at the end.
2) On the target page, 10, you must change the query slightly, so that it adds a WHERE clause:
WHERE PRODUCT_ID = :P10_PRODUCT_ID
Now, you should be set.
Hope this helps.

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?

Need help in sorting a column in classic report

Hi I am trying to create and classic report and I need to do sorting on the columns. Also I am using a select list to filter the records in the column. When I am not using the select list the sorting is working but when I am using the selcet list and select the sort option then it is showing error. Can anyone help...
Thnaks,
Rik

Select lists prior to v4 will sort on the return value. In v4, it sorts on the display value (as you're probably expecting). There's nothing really for you to fix here except if it's really important, see if you can get upgraded to v4.

Need help in modifying the column length

Hi Experts,
I need to modify the length of a column from char(10) to char(5), but it's showing the error of:
ALTER TABLE appr_group_table MODIFY (APPR_TBLNO CHAR(5)) It's showing the below error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01441: cannot decrease column length because some value is too bigI've checked in the dbase but there is no any value of this column having more than 5 characters:
SQL> SELECT APPR_TBLNO FROM appr_group_table;
APPR_TBLNO
ANTAB
ANTAB
ANTST
SCCTR
SOTAB
SOTAB
SOTAB
SOTAB
SOTAB
SOTAB
SOTAB
11 rows selected.Thnx in advance for helping me out.....

char means fixed length variable. when you say char(10) oracle will reserve 10 places for your data. that means in your output what you are seeing as blank spaces are also considered as data. that is the reason, it is not allowing you to reduce the size.
better solution is to create new column with varchar2 or char(5) datatype and transfer this column data into new column and then drop original column.

Need Help in Union of Columns in FX

Hello Experts,
In database I have a table having two columns, Version From, Version To.
Column "Version Start" data is like
V0, V1, V2, V3, V4....upto V11 (fixed value)
Column "Version End" data is like
V1, V2, V3..... upto V11 (fixed value V0 is not present)
User requirement is like create two prompts on these columns and select the data
between these two fields and see the report. This is achieved by prompt and presentation variable.
But the problem is let say user select V1 from Version Start, then Version End prompt should show all values apart from V1.
If user select V2 then it should all value in Version End apart from V2.
I tried but it seems 'union' function does not work in rpd bmm, nor in fx in OBIEE 10g.
Can you all please help.
Thanks

The easiest way to do this, and it could be done in a few minutes, would be to move to a currently supported version of Oracle, 11gR1 or 11gR2, where we have the PIVOT and UNPIVOT operators.
In the desupported version you have the best choice is to hit http://asktom.oracle.com and look up the solution he published there some years ago.
I don't have the link so you can find it as fast as I can but look under "pivot" and "crosstab."

Need help in GROUPING of COLUMN Based Query

Hi,
I am facing problem in generating a scenario:
I have built a Query like this:
SELECT
a.sal,
a.country
FROM
employee a,

WHERE
a.dept_code=b.dept_code
I want the query where the Query will produce a result set based on SALARY based on COUNTRY.
For example if the COUNTRY is US then it will show the breaking of SALARIES.If the COUNTRY is NON US it will club the SALRIES

GROUP BY deptno
,            CASE
           WHEN deptno = 30
           THEN empno
       END
ORDER BY deptno
;Output:
`   DEPTNO        SAL
        10       8750
        20      10875
        30       1600
        30       1250
        30       1250
        30       2850
        30       1500
        30        950In the table, there are 3 rows with deptno=10, and 5 rows with deptno=20, but the CASE expression returns NULL for all of them, so there is only 1 sub-group for each of those deptnos.

Migrating from TSQL Need Help? printing multiple columns in Stored procedur

I need to create a Stored Procedure which returns set of columns not all
(for eg FirstName, LastName, Dept_Id) from emloyee table based on certain conditions.
In TSQL, it is very simple to create such stored procedures which return full recordset(or subset).
I tried creating explicit cursors but I can print only one record at a time. I dnt want concatenation of columns. I want seperate columns in ouput. How to achieve this.?
Code : (But i can only concatenate and print results, what i want is diffrent columns)
declare
f_name employees.first_name%type;
l_name employees.last_name%type;
cursor c is
select first_name,last_name
from employees;
begin
open c;
loop
fetch c into f_name,l_name;
exit when c%notfound;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (f_name||' '||l_name);
end loop;
close c;
