Replace several values in a column

I would like to use the replace function for one column to replace each value with another one. Function Replace does it for one value: Replace({FromWeek},"48","CW48" does work.
What is the correct statement to define a row of'replace'-statements for this column.
Replace({FromWeek},"48","CW48" AND Replace({FromWeek},"49","CW49" etc. leads to error messages. Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks, Martin

Hi Martin,
you can do it like that
Replace(Replace({FromWeek}, "48", "CW48"), "49", "CW49")
But if you really want to put CW in front of each week
"CW" + {FromWeek}
is easier

[8i] Best way to replace "similar" values with one value...?

Below is some sample data:
Sorry for the large set / complex set of sample data, but there should be no need to go through it in detail =).
2 things to keep in mind:
1) This is an 8i db
2) I cannot create any new tables within this db, though I can create views
CREATE TABLE     ord_master

-- none of them are NULL in the db, and given how things are input into the table, I don't

-- this table for a given unique combination of those columns, though they are not the p.k.
-- NOTE: dates default to 12/31/1900, so in the table above, if an order is still open (thus,
-- not closed), it's date_closed will be 12/31/1900. It will only change once the order closes.

,          s.major_seq_nbrThis gives me a bunch of descriptive statistics on some data stored in the database, broken into groups by the time period.
I have 7 sets of possible values for the column wctr_id that are groups of similar/same work centers, and should be treated as the same, assuming the ord_nbr, sub_ord_nbr, and major_seq_nbr are the same. In my example case statement above, anytime I find 'H211' or 'H212', I am replacing it with 'Z211', which is my new, unique identifier for any wctr in the group ('H211', 'H212'). I have 7 of these sorts of groups that need to be replaced by a new, unique identifier. Is my CASE statement (noted above) the best way to do this, or is there a better way? These groups of similar-to wctr_id's are not listed in a table anywhere.

Hi,
As always, thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; that's very helpful, and leads to faster, better solutions.
Another thing that is helpful, and promotes faster, better solutions, is to simplify your problem.
For example, you have to compute a lot of aggregates, but it looks like you already know how to do that. This problem only involves the CASE expressions, and how they interact with the GROUP BY clause. So just cut out most of the aggregate functions.
Also, it looks like the intricacies of in-line view a have nothing to do with your current problem. For purposes of posting this problem, pretend that a is a regular view, so it doesn't clutter up the main query.
I think your problem could be restated like this:
You already have a query like this:

Is that a fair description of the problem?
For starters, you can use column aliases in the ORDER BY clause. Unfortunately, that's the only place where you can use column aliases in the same query where they are defined . You can compute them in a sib-query, and then use them in super-queries.
In other words, wouldn't it be nice if we had a table just like op_detail, but with an additional column called wctr? Make a view: either a regular view (especially if wctr, computed the same way, will be used in several different queries) or an in-line view, as shown below.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a table that was just like a, except that it had time_period alreay computed? Make a view: either a regular view or an in-line view, as shown below.

;In your example, wctr is the same as wctr_id except for two values. If it was more complicated (e.g., if there were not just 2 values that need to be mapped to 'Z211', but also 3 values to were equivalent to 'Z987', and 1 that was to be treated like 'A012', and 5 that should appear as 'A666', and ...), then you could code all that in a humongeous CASE expression (a nested CASE expression, if it involves more that 128 branches), but it really belongs in a table, where you have the raw wctr_id (like 'H211') in one column, and its corresponding equivalent (such as 'Z211') in another. I know you said you can't create new tables; I'm just pointing this out so you can tell the people who won't let you create new tables that it's a bad idea, likely to cause errors and certain to waste time in the future.

Retrieving multiple values from one column in SELECT statement

Hi,
I have a slight dilemma in that I'm trying to pull down all the values from a column from a select statement that includes some JOINS in it.
If I run the query at the SQL Plus prompt, it pulls back all the values/rows.
When I run the select (and prepared ) statement in my JSP, it only pulls back one of the 4 values I'm trying to retrieve.
e.g.
at the DB level :
SELECT role_name, CC_ID FROM votetbl a
INNER JOIN APPROVERS b ON
a.BUSVP = b.BUSVP AND
a.BRANCH = b.BRANCH
WHERE CC_ID = 1688this will return:
ROLE_NAME CC_ID
ops 1688
ops 1688
comply 1688
legal 1688
comply 1688
When run in my JSP, like so:
String primID3a = request.getParameter("primID");
Statement stmtovoter = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
String prepvotSQL = "SELECT role_name, CC_ID FROM votetbl a INNER JOIN APPROVERS b ON a.BUSVP = b.BUSVP AND " +
"a.BRANCH = b.BRANCH WHERE CC_ID = ?";
PreparedStatement prepvotstmt = connection.prepareStatement(prepvotSQL);
prepvotstmt.setString(1, primID3a);
ResultSet rest3 = prepvotstmt.executeQuery();
rest3.next();
String votecat = rest3.getString(1);
out.println("Vote category: "+votecat);I only get ops returned.
Do I need to run an enumerator? Or reqest.getParameterValues or use a while statement around the results set?
Any feedback and direction here is welcomed!
Thanks!

Actually, I tried looping and still only get 1, but returned several times.
i.e.
PreparedStatement prepvotstmt = connection.prepareStatement(prepvotSQL);
prepvotstmt.setString(1, primID3a);
ResultSet rest3 = prepvotstmt.executeQuery();
rest3.next();
String votecat = rest3.getString(1);
while (rest3.next()) {
out.print("category roles "+votecat);
}then I get returned the following:
admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admin
like so.
Where as at the DB level I get
ROLE_NAME CC_ID
admin 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
risk 1688
comply 1688
legal 1688
legal 1688
ops 1688
comply 1688
Maybe the while should go around the getString(1) designation? But I was thinking I'd tried that and gotten invalid cursor error
Something is definitely amiss, between the prepared statement in the servlet and the SELECT statement at the DB level.
I can totally hardcode the statement in the servlet or JSP and it will return one value potentially several times, but only one.
Other times, it will not return a value at all, even though one resides in the db.
Yet go to the DB/SQL Plus prompt and it returns perfectly. I can simply copy and paste the SELECT statement from the out.print line I made and it works like a champ in SQL Plus. Any ideas why the same exact thing cannot return the proper values within the servlet/JSP?
Yeeeeeeesh!!! : (

Replace the value 733.534 in reporting.

Hi Experts,
I am facing one problem in reporting. I am in BI 7.0 environment.
Reports are export to EP everthing is good,
Issue:
one column displaying value like -733.534
my requirement is don't display this value istead of this should display same flag or colour ....
Root cause:
this fields is calculated in the reporting level, so this is not coming from any data target.
calculation: Days from two different Dates.
eg; offer given date - offer excepted date = Days( resulet)
I calculated by farmula with replacement path.
this -733.534 value is displaying only when any one of the two dates are missed then this value will displaying.
if both dates are in reporting calculated value is displyaing right. (currect result).
can any help me how to replace the value -733.534 by any flag or colour.
Regards
Vijay

Hi,
You can achieve this by using exceptions in Query desigenr.you can put some colours for those values.
Let me know if you have any issues.

Get millisecond values from timestamp column in v$logmnr_contents

Hello
How do we get millisecond values from timestamp column in v$logmnr_contents.
I tried with following query.
select scn,To_Char(timestamp,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS:FF') from v$logmnr_contents WHERE OPERATION NOT IN('START') and username ='SCOTT' and sql_redo is not null and (seg_owner is null or seg_owner not in('SYS'));
it says ORA-01821: date format not recognized. I want to find the relation of scn with timestamp. In forums i found, scn is derived from timestamp value. I dont know its correct or not.
if i query with out FF in time format i get like
scn timestamp
808743 27-NOV-2007 00:12:53
808743 27-NOV-2007 00:12:53
808743 27-NOV-2007 00:12:53
808744 27-NOV-2007 00:12:53
808744 27-NOV-2007 00:12:53
808744 27-NOV-2007 00:12:53
if scn is derived from timestamp with milliseconds, each scn should be different right?More help please

May be there's an easy way solving your problem, I did it like that:
CREATE TABLE quota_test (test VARCHAR2(50))
INSERT INTO quota_test
VALUES ('update "SCOTT"."NEWTAB1" set a="34" and b="45"')
SELECT test normal, REPLACE(SUBSTR(test,INSTR(test,'"',1),INSTR(test,'.',1)+2),'"','') changed
FROM quota_test
Result is :
NORMAL
update "SCOTT"."NEWTAB1" set a="34" and b="45"
CHANGED
SCOTT.NEWTAB1
If you didn't understand, I can explain what I wrote

[Forum FAQ] SharePoint 2013: Extracting values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and merge values to a multi-value enabled column

For some business requirements, users want to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column
and add items to another list based on each separate value. In contrast, others want to find duplicate values in the list and merge associated values to a multi-value enabled column and then
add items to another list based on the merged value. All of these can be achieved using SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow.
How to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and add items to another list based
on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.

How to
extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and
add items to another list based on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to
extract values from the Destinations column
in Lookup2 and add items to Lookup3 based on each country and set Title to current item: ID.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).\
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Important action
1. Loop Shape: SharePoint Designer 2013 support two types of loops: loop n times and loop with condition.
Loops must also conform to the following rules:
Loops must be within a stage, and stages cannot be within a loop.
Steps may be within a loop.
Loops may have only one entry and one exit point.
2. Utility Actions: It contains many actions, such as ‘Extract Substring from Index of String’ and ‘Find substring in String’.
Three scenarios
We need to loop through the string returned from the look up column and look for commas. There are three
scenarios:
1. No comma but string is non-empty so there is only one country.
2. At least one comma so there is at least two or more countries to loop.
3. In the loop we have consumed all the commas so we have found the last country.
Things to note
There are two things to note:
1. "Find string in string (output to Variable:index)" will return -1 if doesn't find
the searched for string.
2. In the opening statement "Set Variable: Countries to Current Item:Destinations" set the return
field as "Lookup Values, Comma Delimited".
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup2.
Add conditions and actions:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup2, then workflow will be started automatically and create multiple items to lookup3.
See the below in workflow History List:
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to find duplicate values in the Title column in
Lookup3 and merge country column to a multi-value enabled column and then add item to lookup2 and set the Title to Current Item: Title.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Test (Single line of text).
Important actions
"Call HTTP Web Service"
action: In SharePoint 2013 workflows, we can call a web service using a new action introduced in SharePoint 2013 named Call HTTP Web Service. This action
is flexible and allows you to make simple calls to a web service easily, or, if needed, you can create more complex calls using HTTP verbs as well as allowing you to add HTTP headers.
“Build Dictionary"
action:
The Dictionary variable type is a new variable type in the SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
The following are the three actions specifically designed for the Dictionary variable type: Build Dictionary, Count Items in a Dictionary and Get an Item from a Dictionary.
The "Call HTTP Web Service" workflow action would be useless without the new "Dictionary" workflow action.
Things to note
The
HTTP URI is set to https://sitename/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listname')/items?$orderby=Id%20desc and the HTTP method is set to “GET”. Then the list will be sort by Id in descending order.
Use Get
d/results(0)/Id form
Variable: ResponseContent (Output to
Variable: maxid) to get the Max ID.
Use Set
Variable: minid to Current List:ID to get the Min ID.
Use Copy from
Variable: destianation , starting at
1 (Output to
Variable: destianation) to remove the space.
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Test (Single line of text).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup3.
Add a new "Build Dictionary" action
to define the http request header:
Add a Call HTTP Web Serviceaction, click on
this and paste your http request.
To associate the
RequestHeader variable, select the Call action property,
set the
RequestHeaders property to
RequestHeader:
In the Call action, click on
response and associate the response to a new
variable: ResponseContent (of type Dictionary).
After the Call action add Get item from Dictionary action to get the Max ID.
Add Set Workflow Variable action to get the Min ID.
Add Loop Shape (Loop with Condition) to get all the duplicate titles and integrate them to a string.
Create item in Lookup2.
The final Stage should look like this:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup3, then workflow will be started automatically and create item to lookup2.
See the below in workflow History List:

GREAT info, but it may be helpful to note that when replacing a portion of the variable "Countries" with a whitespace character, you may cause the workflow to fail in a few specific cases (certain lookup fields will not accept this and will automatically
cancel). I only found this out when recreating your workflow on a similar, but much more complex list set.
To resolve this issue, I used another utility action (Extract Substring from Index of List) to clear out the whitespace. I configured it as "Copy from
Variable: Countries, starting at
1 (Output to Variable: Countries), which takes care of this issue in those few cases.
Otherwise, WOW! AWESOME JOB! Thanks! :)

How to select several values from a user exit variable in a planning folder

Hello,
I have created a user exit variable for limiting the values only to which the user need to access.
For a simulation part, it is then necessary for him to select several values from these values (not only one, and not all)
But It seems in this case the user has only two possibilities :
- keep all the values without any restriction
- restrain the selection to only one value.
It seems possible for the user to access to a multiple choice window, but this possibility doesn't seems to work : in all tests we did, only the first value was taken into account by BPS.
If this method is not good do you know an other manner to permit the user to choice several values amongst a set of pre-selected (because the original set is too important) values ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Mayank,
Thanks for your response, but I don't think it corresponds to my problem.
I my case, I use a user exit variable to filter some data. It seems BPS offers the possibility to the user to select several values amongts the pre-selected values presented by the user exit variable, but it doesn't work. We can use a popup in which we enters the required values, but in final, only the first value is taken into account.
I don't know if it is due to a BPS bug or if it is not a good solution in regard to BPS philosophy. In this case, the concerned caracteristic isn't in the header but in lead columns.
I must present a solution to my client next monday, so I have not enough time to open an OSS message.
An alternate solution should be interesting too.
My need is to present to a user a selection of values amongst all values from an infoobject (the user exit variable seemed to be a good solution) and the user must have the possibility to select some values amongst these as filter.
Regards

How to insert parameter value into multiple columns and rows

Hi All,
I have one procedure insert_tab and I am passing
100~101~102:103~104~105:106~107~108 as a parameter to that procedure. I wanted to insert each numeric value into one column. The output of the table should contain
Table:
Col1 Col2 Col3
100 101 102
103 104 105
106 107 108
Awaiting for your reply..

That's not more clear for me...
Anyway, if you really want a procedure for that, try :
SQL> create table tblstr (col1 number,col2 number,col3 number);
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> create or replace procedure insert_fct (p_string IN varchar2)
2 as
3 v_string     varchar2(4000):=p_string||':';
4 v_substring varchar2(4000);
5
6 begin
7      while instr(v_string,':') > 0 loop
8            v_substring := substr(v_string,1,instr(v_string,':')-1)||'~';
9            insert into tblstr(col1,col2,col3)
10            values (substr(v_substring,1,instr(v_substring,'~',1,1)-1),
11                    substr(v_substring,instr(v_substring,'~',1,1)+1,instr(v_substring,'~',1,2)-instr(v_substring,'~',1,1)-1),
12                    substr(v_substring,instr(v_substring,'~',1,2)+1,instr(v_substring,'~',1,3)-instr(v_substring,'~',1,2)-1));
13            v_string:=substr(v_string,instr(v_string,':')+1);
14      end loop;
15 end;

How do you lookup multiple values in different columns based on variable criteria?

Essentially, I'd like to be able to do a Vlookup but instead of searching for one value only, search for multiple values in separate columns. A smaller version of my current spreadsheet as an example...
Attack Type ->
Fire
Water
Grass
Fire
1/2x
2x
1/2x
Water
1/2x
1/2x
2x
Grass
2x
1/2x
1/2x
Fire/Water
1/4x
1x
1x
Fire/Grass
1x
1x
1/4x
Grass/Water
1x
1/4x
1x
The headers are the attack types and the list of types to the left are the receiving Pokemon. Fire does half damage (1/2x) to fire types, Water does double damage (2x) to fire types, etc. I'd like to be able to search for specific damages for each type. For example, I'd like to find a Typing that recieves half (1/2x) damage from Fire-type attacks but also recieves double (2x) from Grass-type attacks. I do want more than just two search criteria though seeing as the actual table is much, much larger.
I've tried assigning number values to each damage multiplier and then merging all of them together for a specific typing and doing a VLOOKUP based on checkboxes determining what damage multiplier I want in a few specific types, the rest being filled in to the standard of 1x but the result isn't correct most of the time.

Hi Mitchell,
VLOOKUP can be set for accept either an 'exact match' or a 'close match'. Your 17 digit 'number' is actually a 17 character text string (Numbers can handle numbers to a precision of only 15 places). Provided all 17 digits are present, sorting should be the same as for numerical values—the leftmost character is the most significant.
As a text string, your 'number' is sorted/evaluated alphabetically. A 'close match' accepts the 'largest value that is less than or equal to the search value'.
If your search term is 000200000 (a 9 character string), several 'wrong' answers will fit the 'close match' criteria, including all of those listed below:
000200000 (the 'correct' match)
0000xxxxx (x may be any of the three acceptable values)
0001xxxxx (x may be any of the three acceptable values)
The main problem here is that digits in a number (or characters in a text string) have decreasing significance related to their distance from the beginning of the string/number. You want a search in which each character has the same significance as each of the others when compared to the search key. To do that, you need to compare each character in the search string with the character in the same position in the similar string for each type of Pokemon, then take a count of the matches or a sum of the differences.
Here's one approach:
Column A contains labels.
Column B, the 17 digit search term, created in whatever manner you wish, and the similar 17 digit string for each of the characters.
Columns C through S contains a formula that detines, using subtraction, the difference between each digit of the search term and the corresponding digit of each character's profile.
Column C uses SUM() to calculate the total of columns C to S for each row.
T1 uses =MIN(T) to calculate "least different" profile.
Column A is a Header column; Row 1 is a Header row.
Formulas:
C2, and filled right to S2, then down to the last row of data:
=ABS(MID($B$1,COLUMN()-2,1)-MID($B2,COLUMN()-2,1))
T1: =MIN(T)
T2, and filled down column T: =SUM(C2:S2)
The conditional formatting rule set for all body cells in column T is shown below the table.
This may be enough to get you started. Formulas can be tweaked to produce results more closely matching what you're looking for, if necessary.

Barry

How to Replace Null Value as 0 in an OBIEE11g Pivot Table? it's working 10g

Hi,
How to Replace Null Value as 0 in an OBIEE11g Pivot Table? it's working in obiee10g version.
We have tried below methods
1) criteria tab and edit the ‘column properties’ associated with your fact measure. Choose the ‘Data Format’ tab, tick to override the default format and choose ‘Custom’.
It seems that the syntax for this custom format is positive-value-mask (semi colon) negative-value-mask (semi colon) null-mask. So this means we have a few options.
E.g. if you want zeros (0) instead of null then enter:
#,##0;-#,##0;0
2) in that formula columns we have put it below case condition also ,
Measure Column: Nom_amt --> edit formulas
CASE WHEN Nom_amt IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE Nom_amt END
3) we have uncheked IS NULL check box in the admin tool also
I tried above formats still it's not working for me..kindly help me on this..
thanks to do the needfull

Hi,
Null value in database displaying as 0 in report, I need to keep value as in database, and I have one calculated row which is based on null values should also null in report.
but it showing 0 for null values also so, my calculated row showing wrong result.
my report is like
col1 col2
ABC 0
BCD 12
DEF -12 --this is calculated row.
I require result like:
col1 col2
ABC null
BCD 12
DEF null --this is calculated row.
Please let me know how I can achieve this.
Thanks,

User defined function to set a default value of a column

Hi All
Can we use user defined function to set a default value of a column ??
for example:
create or replace function test1 return number is
begin
return 10;
end;
create table testt
(id as test1,
name varchar2(20));
error:
ORA-02000: missing ( keywordThanks

ORA-04044: procedure, function, package, or type is not allowed hereUsing PL/SQL code like that raises 2 basic problems. If that PL/SQL code for the calculating the column default breaks, what happens to the SQL insert statements against that table. These will need to fail as the table definition depends on the PL/SQL code. This is problematic as this dependency simply increases the complexity of the SQL object.
The 2nd issue is performance. PL/SQL code needs to be executed by the PL/SQL engine. This means a context switch from the SQL engine to the PL/SQL engine in order to determine the default value for that column. Context switching is a performance overhead.
So even if it was possible to use a PL/SQL function as parameter for the SQL default clause, I would not be that keen to use it.

Sql Loader INFILE name value in table column Value

Hi,
Here is my Sql Loader Script
LOAD DATA
infile '%1'
APPEND INTO TABLE XX_SUPPLIER_UPD
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ";" OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING NULLCOLS
ACTION Char
,ADDRESS_TYPE Char
,REGION Char "LTRIM(RTRIM(:REGION))"
,PO_BOX Char
,,WWW_ADDRESS Char
,status Char "NVL(:status,'X')"
,filename Char "replace(:infile,'\"','')"
I am getting the infile name as the parameter and i want to insert that parameter value in the column name fillename. Can any one guide me to how to do.
Cheers!
Jayaraj.S

If you were to use external tables instead of SQL*Loader, you can dynamically change the location of the external table (i.e. the filename) using a simple ALTER TABLE statement.
External tables also mean that all the control is inside the database rather than relying on external utilities and external scripts.
