Need help with formula to calculate percent of orders $500.

Have data with salesperson order info.  Am already counting total number of order per salesperson and also counting and summing order count of orders with order$<500.  Can't figure out how to calculate number of orders per salesperson with order $ <$500 as percent of total number of orders per salesperson. Tried just dividing the two numbers, but got results that didn't make sense.

That is what I think I have tried, but keep getting errors or numbers that don't make sense. I am a new forum user, so don't know if I can actually somehow attach my report parameters to this post or if someone would be willing to call me to discuss.
When I try this code:
*Sum ({@@ordercount}, {Orders.szOutsideSPName})  % sum (Count ({Orders.szOutsideSPName}))*
I get an error message that the (Count ({Orders.szOutsideSPName})) can't be summarized.
When I try this code:
Sum ({@@ordercount}, {Orders.szOutsideSPName})  % (Count ({Orders.szOutsideSPName}))
I don't get error messages and it calculates something, but the numbers are definitely not correct (I check them with the calculator)
For example,
salesperson   total # of orders       # of orders<$500    Calculated%
1                    596                            357                      1.39
2                    290                            138                       1.40
3                   1100                            647                      6.58
I can't even figure out how those % numbers were calculated.

  • Need Help with Formula using SQL maybe

    I need help!  I work with Crystal reports XI and usually manage just fine with the Formula editor but his one I think will require some SQL and I am not good at that.
    We are running SQL 2000 I think (Enterprise Manager 8.0)  Our sales people schedule activities and enter notes for customer accounts.  Each is stored in a separate table.  I need to find activities that are scheduled 240 days into the future and show the most recent note that goes with the account for which that activity is scheduled.
    The two tables, Activities and History, share the an accountID field in common that links them to the correct customer account.   I want to look at dates in the Startdate.Activities field more than 240 days in the future and show the most recent note from the History table where the accountid's match. I figure my query will contain a join on AccountID.Activities and AccountID.History used with Max(completedate.History) but I do not understand how to word it.
    I would like to perform all this in crystal if possible.  I humbly request your help.
    Membery

    You SQL would look something like this...
    SELECT
    a.AccountID,
    a.BlahBlahBlah, -- Any other fields you want from the Activities table
    h.LastComment
    FROM Activities AS a
    LEFT OUTER JOIN History AS h ON a.AccountID = h.AccountID
    WHERE (a.ActivityDate BETWEEN GetDate() AND DateAdd(dd, 240, GetDate()))
    AND h.HistoryID IN (
         SELECT MAX(HistoryID)
         FROM History
         GROUP BY AccountID)
    This method assumes that the History table has a HistoryID that increments up automatically each time a new comment is added... So a comment made today would always have a higher HistoryID that one made yesterday.
    If I'm wrong and there is no HistoryID or the HistoryID doesn't increment in a chronological fashion, it can still be done but the code is a bit more complex.

  • Need Help with Formula

    I am fairly new to Crystal Reports and could use some assistance.  I have built two subreports with formulas to pull information into the main report.  Now I would like to create a total per line based on the two values pulled from subreports, plus another column in the main report (the information is already pulled in).  How can this be done?
    Edited by: JmeAbiday on Jun 4, 2009 3:51 PM

    Sastry,
    The formula is placed in the subreport.
    About the formula being placed in the main report.  I am a little confused. 
    You said place it after the sub report section.  The sub report section on the report includes two columns in the main report (each column coming from a different subreport).  I am trying to make a column to the right of these columns with a line total of the three columns to the left.  So on the design of the main page, I have a formula from the main page in one column, and then the other two columns come from the subreports.
    I guess I don't understand what you mean by placing it after the sub report section, when I am trying to create a line total of the items in the columns.  Can you please elaborate?
    I apologize, I am still new to this!  What I am trying to do:
    Column A (Main Report)  /  Column B (From Subreport1) / Column C (From Subreport 2) /  Total: ABC
    Assume each column has hundreds of rows.
    Thanks again for your assistance!

  • Need help with formula in Numbers for iPad 2

    I have a spreadsheet with a formula such as b2 x c2  very simple.  However, if the formula cells (b2 and 2) are blank then the destination cell contains a zero. How can I make my destination cell b blank while the formula cells are blank? I got thsvresponse from a person working with Mac os x, if this helps...
    I can't seem to make this work in my formula bar on ipad2!
    =if(isblank(<source cell>), "", <What ever your formula is>)
    Thanks for any suggestions!
    iPad 2

    Your friend was close, but forgot one thing. If you want it to be blank if either cell is MT, then you need an OR as well o test if either one or the other is blank...
    =IF(OR(ISBLANK(a1),ISBLANK(b1)),"",a1xb1)
    The isblank can also be represetned by ="" in many cases, usually accompanied with a trim to make sure there are no spaces were entered...
    =IF(OR(TRIM(a1)="",TRIM(b1)="")),"",a1xb1)

  • New to OBIEE need help with Formula

    Is it possible to use a prompt in a column formula filter for e.g. FILTER("Defect Facts"."Detected on Date" USING "Defect Facts"."Detected on Date" = '@{11/20/2009 12:00:00 AM}')) this formula does not works for the column. What i need to do is create a filter that will only pull back the date > 11/12/2009 using the formula. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to create a filter in the formula and not create a filter for my report? If i create a filter for my report and do a drill down it ignores the date and pull back all defects.
    Thanks for your help
    Edited by: CedricG on Dec 28, 2009 11:37 AM

    Ok my problem may not be the filters. I created a detail drill down for my defects and created a second report with the number of defects. In the second report, I created a table that displays the total number of defects by Product and severity.
    Ex:
    Defect
    Total Defect
    Product S1 - Critical S2 - High S3 - Medium S4 - Low
    RPAS 6 1 2 3
    RMS 7 2 1 3 1
    Grand Total 13 2 2 5 4
    I used Bins to group my products and name them one name.
    Ex:
    1) Product is equal to / is in "RPAS for Merch Financial Planning - 1814", "Extract Tranform and Load - 1803" and named that Bin RPAS
    2) Product is equal to / is in "Merchandising System - 1816", "RMS" and named that Bin RMS
    If i wanted to see what are the 2 defects for RPAS that's a S3-Medium, I would select the 2 but it displays 414 of the defects in my database and not the two taht i'm expecting. I think my problem is I'm passing the "RPAS" to my defect drill product prompt and not the actual value Merch Financial Planning - 1814. Do you knw how to get around this? It works if i dont group them in the Bin.

    LI,
    Regarding the date matching... As I understand it, you want to truncate the date to Month and Year, not considering the Day part of the date. You can do that with this type of expression:
    =MONTH(date) & "-" &YEAR(date)
    The result for January 10, 2013 would be: 1-2013. If you must have the exact format of Jan-13, you could write this somewhat more complicated expression:
    =LEFT(MONTHNAME(MONTH(date)), 3)&"-"&RIGHT(YEAR(date), 2)
    Regards,
    Jerry

    Dausa,You could use a formula like below:IF  ({WIP_ORDER.STATUS}) IN &#91;'C','N'&#93;THEN 1ELSE 0Now, you can do a SUM on this formula.

  • Need help with formula that puts values in Field1 based on value of field2

    I have two custom fields in the Contact record - Date met and Time Known. Date met is a standard date field that is entered by the user. I then wanted Time Known to automatically populate with specific values based on a formula I wrote. However, the formula/function is not working properly.
    I'm also not sure if this should be a pre or post field formula, field validation, or workflow. Please help! Here's the formula I have so far. It worked for a new record created, but now doesn't work at all for some reason (probably from my testing).
    IIf(Today()-[<dResearch_Date_ITAG>]<365,"Less than One Year",IIf(Today()-[<dResearch_Date_ITAG>]<1095,"One to Three Years", IIf(Today()-[<dResearch_Date_ITAG>]<1825,"Three to Five Years",IIf(Today()-[<dResearch_Date_ITAG>]<3650,"Five to Ten Years","Ten Plus Years"))))
    This says the following:
    If Date Met is less than 365 from today, then enter "Less than One Year" into the Time Known field;
    if date met is less than 1095 (but greater than 365) days from today, then enter "One to Three Years"
    if date met is less than 1825 (but greater than 1095) days from today, then enter "Three to Five Years"
    if date met is less than 3650 (but greater than 1825) days from today, then enter "Five to Ten Years"
    otherwise, enter "Ten Plus Years" for all values greater than 3650.
    What am I doing wrong? I'm new to expressions and formulas in Oracle.

    Hi, You have to do @ 2 places. For setting the field value @ the time of creating a new record using the field default feature. Check post default as the calculated value is dependent on some other field that you are going to set @ the time of creation. For updating the field whenever the record is modified, use workflows

  • Need help with writing a rule

    Need help with some rules. I want to book a number to a specific Entity at a Specific Custom 4 only. I don't want this formula to work at all C4 levels. How can this be done?
    for example if Entity is "XBM1123" and we use C4 for tracking and the tracking level I want to book it to is IMPORT, how can this be done for a specific account 4400221
    I have my formula as
    If pov_value = "<Entity Currency>" or pov_value = "<Entity Curr Adjs>" Then
    If HS.Entity.Member = "XBM1123" or HS.Custom4.Member = "IMPORT" then
    HS.EXP "A#4400221= A#4521111 + A#3526644 + A#635210"
    End If
    End if
    this did not work. I got hte following error
    Calculate started.<BR>Error executing VBScript Microsoft VBScript runtime
    error, Line 259:Object doesn't support this property or method:
    'HS.Custom4.Member'.<BR>Calculate finished.<BR>Error executing
    VBScript %0.
    I then changed it to the below and it still did not work
    If pov_value = "<Entity Currency>" or pov_value = "<Entity Curr Adjs>" Then
    If HS.Entity.Member = "XBM1123" then
    HS.EXP "A#4400221.C4#IMPORT= A#4521111 + A#3526644 + A#635210"
    End If
    End if
    error
    Invalid Custom1 member
    specified for this function.
    Invalid Destination specified for this function:
    A#4400221.C4#IMPORT.

    You are close.
    Try:
    If pov_value = "<Entity Currency>" or pov_value = "<Entity Curr Adjs>" Then
        If HS.Entity.Member = "XBM1123" then
           HS.EXP "A#4400221.C4#IMPORT= A#4521111.C4#IMPORT + A#3526644.C4#IMPORT + A#635210.C4#IMPORT"
        End If
    End if
    or replace IMPORT with with Top_C4 or what ever member you need to copy to C4#IMPORT.
    Rule of thumb, to be on the safe side and for most simple calcs, is if you mention a dimension on the left side, you need to define it on the right side as well.

    What's the problem you're having ???
    PS.

  • Need help with calculator project for an assignment...

    Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
    Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
    """Create a console calculator applicaion that:
    * Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
    program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
    user.
    * Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
    the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
    Math class.
    -Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
    truncate it.
    -When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
    operation.
    -Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
    * Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
    only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
    wrapper classes to help you.
    * Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
    hex numbers.
    * Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
    program when entering a certain option.
    * When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
    current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
    program.
    * Make use of helper classes where possible.
    * Use the SDK to run your program."""
    When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
    when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
    Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??
    Here is the programs code that I've written so far:

    What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
    AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name.

                   public static void main(String[] arg){
                   Aritmetik A =new Aritmetik();

    Here is your problem:
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
      int tal1 = Integer.parseInt(t1.getText().trim());  // add the trim()
      int tal2 = Integer.parseInt(t2.getText().trim());  // add the trim()
      if(e.getSource() == b1){
        if(t1.getText().equals("") || t2.getText().equals(""))
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Mata in tal!");
        else{
          l3.setText("Resultat ");
          l4.setText(" " + (tal1+tal2));
      }... Better ...
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)  throws NumberFormatException {
      String tala = t1.getText().trim();
      String talb = t2.getText().trim();
      if ( tala == null  ||  "".equals(tala)  ||  talb == null  ||  "".equals(talb) ) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Mata in tal!");
        return();
      int tal1 = Integer.parseInt(tala);
      int tal2 = Integer.parseInt(talb);
      if(e.getSource() == b1){
        l3.setText("Resultat ");
        l4.setText(" " + (tal1+tal2));
      else if(e.getSource() == b2){
        int sub = tal1-tal2;
        l4.setText(" " + (sub));

  • Need help with a rudimentary program

    I'm sort of new at this so i need help with a few things... I'm making a program to compile wages and i need answers with three things: a.) what are the error messages im getting meaning? b.) How can i calculate the state tax as 2% of my gross pay with the first $200 excluded and c.) how can i calculate the local tax as a flat $10 with $2 deducted for each dependant. any help is appreciated
    Here is what i have so far:
    public class WagesAsign1
              public static void main(String[] args)
                   int depend=4;
                   double hrsWork=40;
                   double payRate=15;
                   double grossPay;
                   grossPay=payRate*hrsWork;
                   double statePaid;
                   double stateTax=2.0;
                   statePaid=grossPay*(stateTax/100);
                   double localPaid;
                   double localTax=10.0;
                   localPaid=grossPay*(localTax/100);
                   double fedPaid;
                   double fedTax=10.0;
                   double taxIncome;
                   fedPaid=taxIncome*(fedTax/100);
                   taxIncome=grossPay-(statePaid+localPaid);
                   double takeHome;
                   System.out.println("Assignment 1 Matt Foraker\n");
                   System.out.println("Hours worked="+hrsWork+" Pay rate $"+payRate+" per/hour dependants: "+depend);
                   System.out.println("Gross Pay $"+grossPay+"\nState tax paid $"+statePaid+"\nLocal tax paid $"+localPaid+"\nFederal tax paid $"+fedPaid);
                   System.out.println("You take home a total of $"+takeHome);
    and these are the error messages so far:
    WagesAsign1.java:23: variable taxIncome might not have been initialized
                   fedPaid=taxIncome*(fedTax/100);
    ^
    WagesAsign1.java:29: variable takeHome might not have been initialized
                   System.out.println("You take home a total of $"+takeHome);
    ^

  • Please I really need help with this video problem.

    Hi!
    Please I need help with this app I am trying to make for an Android cellphone and I've been struggling with this for a couple of months.
    I have a main flash file (video player.fla) that will load external swf files. This is the main screen.When I click the Sets Anteriores button I want to open another swf file called sets.swf.The app is freezing when I click Sets Anteriores button
    Here is the code for this fla file.
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    preloaderBar.visible = false;
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    btHome.enabled = false;
    var filme : String = "";
    carregaFilme("home.swf");
    function carregaFilme(filme : String ) :void
      var reqMovie:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filme);
      loader.load(reqMovie);
      loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,comeco);
      loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,progresso);
      loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completo);
      palco.addChild(loader); 
    function comeco(event:Event):void
              preloaderBar.visible = true;
              preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = 0;
    function progresso(e:ProgressEvent):void
              var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
              preloaderBar.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
              preloaderBar.barra.scaleX =  perc;
    function completo(e:Event):void
              preloaderBar.percent.text = '';
              preloaderBar.visible = false;
    btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onHomeDown);
    btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onHomeUp);
    btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onSetsDown);
    btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onSetsUp);
    btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onVivoDown);
    btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onVivoUp);
    btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onHomeClick);
    btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onSetsClick);
    function onSetsClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
              if (filme != "sets.swf")
                          filme = "sets.swf";
                          carregaFilme("sets.swf");
    function onHomeClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
              if (filme != "home.swf")
                          filme = "home.swf";
                          carregaFilme("home.swf");
    function onHomeDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
              btHome.y += 1;
    function onHomeUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
              btHome.y -= 1;
    function onSetsDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
              btSets.y += 1;
    function onSetsUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
              btSets.y -= 1;
    function onVivoDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
              btVivo.y += 1;
    function onVivoUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
              btVivo.y -= 1;
    Now this is the sets.fla file:
    Here is the code for sets.fla
    import flash.utils.Timer;
    import flash.events.TimerEvent;
    var video:Video;
    var nc:NetConnection;
    var ns:NetStream;
    var t : Timer = new Timer(1000,0);
    var meta:Object = new Object();
    this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,init);
    function init(e:Event):void{
    video= new Video(320, 240);
    addChild(video);
    video.x = 80;
    video.y = 100;
    nc= new NetConnection();
    nc.connect(null);
    ns = new NetStream(nc);
    ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onStatusEvent);
    ns.bufferTime = 1;
    ns.client = meta;
    video.attachNetStream(ns);
    ns.play("http://www.djchambinho.com/videos/segundaquinta.flv");
    ns.pause();
    t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
    t.start();
    function onStatusEvent(stat:Object):void
              trace(stat.info.code);
    meta.onMetaData = function(meta:Object)
              trace(meta.duration);
    function timeHandler(event : TimerEvent) : void
      if (ns.bytesLoaded>0&&ns.bytesLoaded == ns.bytesTotal )
                ns.resume();
                t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
                t.stop();
    The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
    Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
    thank you

    My first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
    Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
    var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
    context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
    context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
    var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
    var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
    ldr.load(urlReq, context);

    If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:
