Query Designer - how to count distinct characteristic values in a column

Hello Experts,
I need to count the number of distinct occurences in a column and use it later for a percentage calculation. I'll give you a concrete example:
Promotion_ID Product Promoted
A ****************** P1 ******** 1
A ****************** P2 ******** 0
A ****************** P3 ******** 1
B ****************** P1 ******** 0
B ****************** P3 ******** 1
C
D
A promotion ID can have more than 1 product associated with it. A product can be promoted (1) or not. A promotion_ID can be also empty (no products C and D)
I need to calculate for each product the percentage of promotions where the product is promoted out of ALL promotions (4) or
P1 25 %
P2 0 %
P3 50%
How can I model this in the Query Designer ? How can I count the distinct Promotion_IDs ?
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks
Rado

Query Designer: how to keep all char. in one vertical column when running?

In query designer, if dragging char. one by one from the left to the row section, when running the query, these row characteristics all show in different columns. How to show them in one column? Just give you an example, usually the query result format would like the following:
Salesman--Sales Office-Sales Org----Quantity
John--Office1Org1--
50
Mark--Office2Org2--
100
Kevin--Office3Org3--
30
Now, we would like the query result looks like the following format:
Salesman------Quantity
John----
50
Mark----
100
Kevin----
30
Salesman Total------180
Sales Office------Quantity
Office1----
xx
Office2----
xx
Office3----
xx
Sales Office Total------xx
Sales Org-------Quantity
Org1----
xx
Org2----
xx
Org3----
xx
Sales Org Total------xx

Hi,
What you want to do is 3 different views of the same report
If you publish the information in Excel (workbook) you have to call 3 times the query in three different sheets, and manually do a summary....
If you publish in the web, then you can have 3 times the same query but with different views on the same page. you can then control the three tables with the same navigation block...
But your request is not the way Bex works...

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, 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).

How to get all the values in one column of a JTable

How to get all the values in one column of a JTable as a Collection of String.
I don;t want to write a for loop to say getValueAt(row, 1) eg for 2nd column.

I don;t want to write a for loop to say getValueAt(row, 1) eg for 2nd column. You could always write a custom TableModel that stores the data in the format you want it. It would probably be about 50 lines of code. Or you could write a loop in 3 lines of code. I'll let you decide which approach you want to take.

How can I get the value of "Warehose" column in a form

How can I get the value of "Warehouse" column in the form below (I mean what table that contain this value):
Production Supervisor >> Batches >> (Button) Material Details >> (Button) Line Allocations
Well, for more clearly! My problem is I must have the Unit Cost of Items, so I've got it in the cm_cmpt_dtl (table), but if I want to, I must create a relation that require 2 filed, they're Item_ID and Whse_Code.
There's no problem with Item_ID, but Whse_Code seem to be the Mission Impossible (hix, I hate that film!!!!)
I wonder if It was right to post this topic here. But anyway I just post my question here, hope I could get some help.

wow, many, many, many.... and many thanks!
Just add a tiny modify to check out the Batch_type
doc_id = (select batch_id from gme_batch_header where batch_no='&batch_number' and batch_type = 0)
Because the batch_no can be duplicated as we also create Batch and Filrm Planned Order.
Many thanks for your support!

How to count a characteristic (Query Design)?

What is the best way to count a characteristic in a query? To be more specific, I would like to count the number of orders (characteristic 0COORDER).
I have read the whitepapers:
-HowTo Count the occurrences of a characteristic relative to one or more other characteristics
-HowTo Calculate with Attributes
I would like to build a query that looks like the following:
Order Type # Orders
A 3
B 5
C 4
In my InfoCube,
OrderID OrderLineID MaterialID Quantity Price ZCount
1 1
1 2
2 3
3 4
3 5
3 6
I added a counter to my infoCube which counts the number of line items per order (from HowTo count occurences of characteristic whitepaper). However, now I need to count the number of orders.
One approach I tried was to create a dummy calculated keyfigure, which i set to a constant of 1. I then created another calculated keyfigure and used Count ( dummyKeyFigure). I could have also achieved the same result by using SUMGT (dummyKeyFIgure). However, this only works if you have orderID in your query row:
OrderID dummyKeyFigure (hidden)
1 1
2 1
3 1
Result: 3 (SUMGT of dummyKeyFigure)
I also read a thread that discussed another alternative on how to use a replacement path variable to count a characteristic (using the key)... however the procedure wasn't clear. When I tried to create a variable on orderID using a replacement path, it asked for either a variable or query to use... and I got "stuck" from there. Can you use a replacement variable to count the number or orders?
What are the different alternatives (and procedures) for counting the number of orders?
Thanks,
-B

Hey Olivier.
I do have Key Figures in my cube. However, I only want to count the number of Orders in my InfoCube.
For your solution, you say to create a CKF. In order to create a CKF, you need a KF to put in your CKF calculation (note you omitted this step from your solution). There is no KF in the infocube to use for the Order count (we are creating "this" CKF to get the Order Count). If there is no KF you can use in your InfoCube to get the Order Counter, then you need to create a replacement path variable to use in your CKF calculation. After you have created a replacement path variable for OrderID, you can place this variable in your CKF calculation (instead of using a KF). Make sense?

BEx query needs to count unique characteristic values

Is there any way to build a query using BEx query designer to count the number of unique values of a characteristic. For instance, my cube has detailed transactions for claim information. Each claim number can have multiple products. My query need to show the number of claims that exist for each product. I don't want the detail of the claim number, just how many claims exist.
Product          Gross Paid Loss        Claim Count
Total Auto                $ 43,865.01              ?
Total Property $ 4,068,321.57              ?
Not assigned                19,426

Hi,
Creat calculated keyfigure with data functions Count value and save with technical name.
Right click on that go to propertes, select count with exception aggregation - Claim Number,
also use after aggregation and decimal places '0'.

How to count distinct excluding a value in business layer?

Hi all,
I'm having a column which has many values. I need to make this is as a measure with count distinct aggregator. But i should not count 0 in the column. How can i do this. If i try to use any condition means the aggregator option is disables. Please help
Thanks

Look this example:
I made in BMM in the SALES fact table measure:
Count_Distinct_Prod_Id_Exclude_Prod_Id_144
I'll count distinct PRODUCTS.PROD_ID, but exclude PROD_ID=144 in counting.
Make this measure like this:
1. New object/Logical column
2. Go to data type tab and click EDIT on the logical table table source
3. Now, in the general tab add join to a table (in my case PRODUCTS)
4. Go to the column mapping tab -> show unmapped columns
5. In the new column (in my case Count_Distinct_Prod_Id_Exclude_Prod_Id_144) write code like similar:
CASE WHEN "orcl".""."SH"."PRODUCTS"."PROD_ID" = 144 THEN NULL ELSE "orcl".""."SH"."PRODUCTS"."PROD_ID" END
6. Click OK and close the logical table source window
7. Now, in the logical column window go to aggregation tab and choose COUNT DISTINCT.
8. Move the measure Count_Distinct_Prod_Id_Exclude_Prod_Id_144 in the presentation area
9. Test in Answers (report cointains columns as follow)
PROD_CATEGORY_ID
Count_Distinct_Prod_Id_Exclude_Prod_Id_144
And the result in the NQQuery.log is:
select T21473.PROD_CATEGORY_ID as c1,
count(distinct case when T21473.PROD_ID = 144 then NULL else T21473.PROD_ID end ) as c2
from
PRODUCTS T21473
group by T21473.PROD_CATEGORY_ID
order by c1

When we run query how it gets the characteristic values and attributes.

Hi,
When we load transaction data it chacks characteristic values then SIDs then DIM IDs then insert DIM IDs into fact table but when we run the query how it checks and gets the characteristic values and attributes.
Bye
GK

when we run the query how it checks and gets the characteristic values and attributes.
Just the opposite way you have described. It gets from the corresponding masterdata tables, with the connected SID.

How to use a characteristic value variable in a formula?

Hi all,
I have created a characteristic value variable (manual input) for 0CALDAY in a query to get the Start & End date. There is requirement in the report to display a KF showing the duration between Start & End Date.
I have tried to create a Formula Variable with Replacement Path, Ref Char 0CALDAY. In the Replacement Rule, there is an option to Replace Variable With variable. However, I wasn't able to locate the variable I have created for user input.
Any idea how to achieve this?
Many thanks,
Yoong-En

hi,
if you have the start and end dates as user entry then follow this
1) create a formula variable with reference char as start date of the type customer exit
2) create another formula with end date as reference char of type customer exit
3) in the cmod write the code your logic should be in such a way the the value at the user entry should be passed on to this formula variable the same for end date code
4) create a formula with ( start date formula variable - end date formula variable)
you can use this code
WHEN 'ZV_YRFKDAT'.(formula variable name)
    IF I_STEP = 2. "after the popup
      LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
      WHERE VNAM = 'ZV_KEYDAT1'.(user entry variable name)
        CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
        L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW. "low value, e.g.YYYY (2006) part of key date (20060625)
        L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
        L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
        APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
        EXIT.
      ENDLOOP.
repeat teh same for end date
hope this helps
Thanks

BEx Designer: How to count if an InfoObject(field=ProblemNr) is empty

Hi,
in the ROWS i have an InfoObject (let's say ProblemNumber) and in the COLUMNS another InfoObject (Date).
The IO in the Rows is not a primary key and it's not always filled in. The OrderNr might be a primary key.
I want to find out how many of the entries in a specific month (IO Date) have ProblemNr and how many not.
So basically would lool like the following:
                              April
With ProblemNr:    25
W/o Problem Nr:   18
Would you give me tips how i can show such a result.
Thank you!

I have two Field in the Multiprovider: DocNumber & DeliveryDate.
In the Query Design I created a Count (Calculated Key Figure) to count the entries
since Iu2019m not allowed to change anything in the Data Model.
The DocNumber might and might not have a DeliveryDate, Ex:
DocNumber     DeliveryDate
1234               12.03.11
2345                    --
4567                11.01.10
6789                01.05.11
So i need to design a Query to count Number of Documents (DocNumber ) that have
No(Empty) DeliveryDate & also Number of Documents (DocNumber ) that
have DeliveryDate.
So the result would look like something like this:
                              April    May    June   July
No DeliveryDate     54       23          22         56
With DeliveryDate   32       3             52         26
So there are 54 Documents that have DeliveryDate Field empty and
32 Documents with DeliveryDate filled in.

How to Count a Characteristic Occurence?

Morning,
I have Assembly(Material) being displayed as a Row item in my query. My need is to count the number of rows for Assembly in the query. I referred to "How to Count" doc, but that counts every occurence of assembly. Whereas, I need to count an Assembly just once.
Can somebody help me on this?
Thanks.

Vijay,
Here is how it is desired:
Plant Assembly Count
7835 711712101 1
< > 711712103 1
< > 711712111 1
< > 711712401 1
< > 711713101 1
Can you explain how I can do with this?

Checkbox as a query item - how do I get its value into my SQL

I have a search region where the user enters some parameters to filter the records returned from the query. I have a checkbox that represents Active or Inactive. I created it using the APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX function. So if checked I want the sql to order by Active records else if unchecked to order by inactive records after they press the submit button. So how do I get the checked or unchecked value from this checkbox into my SQL query.

How to sort the characteristic values in layout

Hello,
I wont to use a layout with key figs in data columns and two characteristics in lead columns. The problem is that the sorting of first characteristic values is displayed in alphabetical order. How can I change the order to another exact defined combinations for characteristic values?
I read the thread with the same problem (see below the link), but the solutions are not satisfacroty.
Has anyone another idee?
Thanks for any help!
Larissa Bräutigam

Hi Larissa;
I had the same problem and they propose this:
Attributesu0092 order that the system displays in the Planning Layout
That was not the solution presented to the customer. Because of system performance, a programmer was there and created a VBA code. But I wasn't there so I don't have the code.
