Search and return multiple value.

Hello!
I have a little problem that I need help with. It's a little complicated so bare with me.
I have multiple tables of Income for different people. The table is like this
Table Name: A's Income
Date ........ Amount
5/1/09 .... 5.55
5/3/09 .... 7.89
5/3/09 .... 8.90
5/7/09 .... 3.45
I created a new table to log down each day income across every person's table. So it's something like this
Table Name: Total Income by Date
Date ....... Amount
5/1/09 ... = Income of A + B + C, etc.
5/2/09 ... = " "
5/3/09 ... = etc.
5/4/09
5/5/09
5/6/09
5/7/09
So here's the formula for the Amount under the Total Income by Date table
=IF(Date = IFERROR(LOOKUP(Date, A's Income :: Date), 0), LOOKUP(Date,A's Income :: Date,A's Income :: Amount), 0)
That's only for one person (A) I would add the rest into the formula, but the problem is that if Person A has multiple income logged for the same date like the first table (5/3 - 7.89 & 5/3 - 8.90) the LOOKUP(Date,A's Income :: Date,A's Income :: Amount) only return the first value it finds. Is there a function or method I could do to return both value together? I tried SUMIF(A's Income :: Date, "= Date", A's Income :: Amount)
If there needs to be any clearing up please tell me.
Thanks a lot.

Wow thank you so much!! I never knew the answer was that simple. I thought that if we wanted to use SUMIF it would have to be SUMIF(A's income :: $A,"= A",A's income :: B). I never tried your solution. Thanks a lot again!
Can you explain a little bit more on your B ("Sum") Column? I'm still new to excel programs, why did you do =SUM(OFFSET($A$1,ROW()-1,2,1,COLUMNS(2:2)-2)), instead of something like SUM(C,D)?
Thanks

Get Variant Attribute Should Search for and return multiple values based on RegEx

I am using Variants as lookup tables (see this article):
Using Variant Attributes to Build a Dictionary or Look-up Table
I would like to be able to use some sort of wildcard to return multiple results from the Get Variant Attribute VI (all results are of the same type, and I don't know the exact names of all the results - those two points make this idea distinct from this idea: Set/Get Variant Attribute for Multiple Attributes).
Ideally the wildcard would be RegEx. If it were, the means by which you specify what to return is standardized.
In the above example, there would be some ambiguity in terms of whether or not you would want to return a result or an array of results given an input, and I doubt you could detect and assume RegEx is what the programmer desires to use. So I think this means a new input would be required to specify whether or not the "name" input of the Get Variant Attribute VI should be interpreted as a RegEx query.

Why RegEx? Why not SQL query? Why not filename wildcard matching?
I don't see anything that makes RegEx special. For this kind of functionality, the code that you've written seems like exactly the right way to do it rather than bolting a RegEx parser or any other system into the primitives or clouding the palette with a bunch of primitives to support various search functions. I could see a primitive that takes a VI refnum that has a conpane of string in/boolean out that you would pass in to supply the filter functionality that you want for any given application, but even that I'd lean toward just letting that be a library that someone writes on top of the primitives. Yes, there is some memory reduction that can be done if it is internal to the primitives, no question about that. But there are so many variations in how to do that filtration/sorting/etc that I'm not confident that any prim would cover a sufficient use case to be worth it. I could be wrong here ... let's see what other comments come in.

How do I search and return multiple elements of array quickly (like Matlab find)?

Hi, I am a fairly experienced Labview programmer, and I have always wondered if there is a way to quickly search arrays for multiple elements that meet a selection criteria, equivalent to the Matlab find command. While my inability to do this in Labview has always bugged me, I now have an application that requires this ability and I need to find a solution.
The fastest way that I have found to do this in labview is to perform comparisons on vectors of data, and then use the resulting Boolean vector to parse the array using a for loop and shift registers. I have attached a vi snippet of a benchmarking vi for one of the simple searches I need to do. On my laptop this search takes about 600ms. In comparison, the equivalent in Matlab:
newArray=oldArray(find(oldArray(:,4)./oldArray(:,2)>1.5),;
executes in about 1.2ms. So, the way that I am doing this in Labview is only 400 times slower
Needless to say, I need to do these types of searches many many times, and those 599 extra ms start to add up pretty quickly!
Thanks for your help,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
the slowest part is probably the "build array" node in the loop.
Try this:
Define an array of same size as input data (or simply use a copy of it) and wire that to the shift register. Keep a counter of found rows in the loop. Use IndexArray and ReplaceArraySubset in the loop to move the found rows to beginning of array (overwrite "bad" rows). After the loop simply ReshapeArray to the number of found rows...
Sorry, don't have LV(2009) at hand to edit your snippet.

UPDATE statement based on query and return multiple value

Hi everybody,
I have two tables: temp3 and temp
One of them (temp3) should be updated based on the query where clause (id and flag columns).
I run this query but it updates all of the records in the temp3. I want to update only records with 'UPDATED' flag.
update temp3 t3
set (id,name,address) = (select t.id, t.name, t.address from temp t, temp3 t3
where t.id = t3.id and t.flag = 'UPDATED');
Does any body know how I can do it?
I appreciate your help
Thx

Hello
Basically you're missing a where clause on your update statement to restrict rows in t3 to the ones that have a corresponding row in t1.

Return multiple values from dynamic lov in apex 3.2.1

Hi
I need to create a dynamic lov that displays multiple values from a table and RETURNS multiple values into display only fields in a form page to be saved to the database
For example
dynamic list of value name SERVER
select name || ',' || life_cycle d, name r
from sserver
order by 1
This SERVER LOV is attached to the P4_SSERVER_NAME field in the form.
However this only returns sserver. name into the P4_SSERVER_NAME field in the form. I would need to capture the life_cycle field as well and populate the P4_LIFE_CYCLE field in the form as well. How does one do this?
I have searched this forum however could not find a thread that fit my situation. i saw that in 4.2 there is dynamic action however unable to upgrade at this moment.
any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
thank you

Hi CRL,
One method is to set the value of your P4_LIFE_CYCLE item via APEX_UTIL.set_session_state
To do this you need to create a Page Process
Type PL/SQL anonymous block
Process Point On Load - Before Header
The source for the Process might look like this: DECLARE
   l_life_cycle   VARCHAR2 (50);
BEGIN
   SELECT life_cycle
     INTO l_life_cycle
     FROM sserver
    WHERE :p4_sserver_name = sserver.name;
   APEX_UTIL.set_session_state ('P4_LIFE_CYCLE', l_life_cycle);
END;Jeff

I want to input two values, AWG and mils and return the value in the Days column.
In the instance of what I am showing .... AWG=2 AND mils=320 so Soak=110 ....
I want to search the columns (AWG) AND (mils) to return a value in the column (Days) for that row into cell H10 (Soak) ...
So far I have toyed with LOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH ....

SCW,
I'm sure there is a clever way to cascade functions to avoid adding an auxiliary column in your practice table, but to me it wouldn't be worth the aggravation. I would add a column that concatenates Columns A & B, AWG & mils. This column can be anywhere and would be Hidden. Let's say your new column is Column N.
In Column N, fill the body rows with:
=A&"-"&B
As good Numbers programming form would indicate, let's name the Practice Table Practices and only put the practices in that table. In another table where you do the lookup, let's call it Program, we will have the calculation/lookup.
Based on your example, I'd guess that AWG may be in Column D and mils in Column E of your Program table, and the Soak lookup in Column F. If I'm wrong, adjust the column id.
In Column F, write:
=OFFSET(Practices::I$1,MATCH(D&"-"&E, Practices::N,0)−1, 0)
The hyphen in the concatenated representation of the combination of AWG and mils is just tp make it more readable.
As I'm sure you know, you could use other approaches, but since I had you put your aux column at the end of your Practices table, OFFSET with MATCH is a clean approach. INDEX could be used too.
Here's an illustration:

Searching for a multiple-value returning popup.

Is there a possibility to return multiple values from the popup LOV?
That means for example, when I pick an employee on the popup, I want empno,empname, and sal to be returned, each in its textbox.
Thank you, Ivica.

Hi Ivica,
What you want to do can be done but is a bit involved, combining JavaScript and PL/SQL.
If you do not have a workaround send me an email and I will send you an example.
I would put an example on the discussion group but there are so many HTML tags that it will probably not display properly.

Hi,
It doesn't look like you posted either the complete query or the complete error message (including line number). Try again.
"single row subquery return more then one row" usually means you are using a sub-query in a place where a single expression is expected, for example the column called avg_sal in this query:
SELECT ename
,       sal
,       (SELECT AVG (sal) FROM scott.dept WHERE deptno = e.deptno) AS avg_sal -- Scalar-sub-query
FROM    scott.emp e; The error occurs when the sub-query returns more than one row
If the sub-querry really is supoosed to be returning only one row, the solution is to fix the sub-query, usually be adding something to the WHERE clause.
If the sub-query is supposed to return more than one row, then the main query has to be re-written, perhaps as a join.
Post a little sample data and the results you want from that data if you need help.

Enhancing standard (single select)search help for Multiple value selection

Hi,
Standard search help for Business Partner (in cProjects) allows only single value selection for input fields. I want to make this multiple selection.
Is there a way to do it.
I used an OVS and built a similar search but its difficult to get the standard options like saving to personal value list etc in it.
It would be good if there is a way to modify the standard search help to allow multiple selection. Any ideas??
Appreciate your help,
Thanks,
Sri

As far as I know you can't make a standard ABAP dictionary search help return multiple entries - where you get this sort of functionality the searches don't use the standard Elementary search help framework (e.g. organisational structure searches)
Given that the WDA search help relies on these dictionary based searches, I'd think very much that you couldn't enhance it to return multiple. how you could even return multiple entries into a single UI element input field is also confusing to me.
I'd suggest creating a freely programmed value help, it would certainly take quite some effort to recreate those personal value lists etc, but it could be done - I don't like OVS, but that just me.

How can I return multiple values with PL/SQL Web Services

Hi,
I'm new to developping Web Services. I'm doing some tests with JDeveloper and OC4J on my local machine with a Web Services based on a PL/SQL function within a package. Right now that function only returns one value. So the xml response only has one output.
I'd like to know how can I return multiple values with my PL/SQL Web Service. For example, if I want to return an employee's name and id? And that the xml contains two output : <employee>, <empid>?
Reginald
ps : I have searched the forum and I couldn't find an answer to this question, if that has been discussed AND answered before, can you please post the link? Thanks

Alright, I actually found my answer. Since this was asked I think as a followup somewhere else I'll give my answer.
It is very simple, all you have to do is create an Object Type and then Return that object type. After that, JDeveloper will take care of everything and you will have an xml response with multiple values. Here
{color:#ff0000}
create or replace TYPE person AS OBJECT
( id_interv number,
first_name VARCHAR2(50),
last_name VARCHAR2(50),
date_birth date
);{color}
Then your function used in your Web Service should look something like this :
{color:#ff0000}
function info_emp (p_empno IN VARCHAR2) RETURN person AS
l_emp person := person(-1,'','','');
BEGIN
SELECT first_name
,last_name
,emp_no
INTO l_emp.first_name
,l_emp.last_name
,l_emp.emp_no
FROM emp
WHERE upper(emp_no) = upper (emp_no);
{color}
{color:#ff0000}
RETURN l_emp;
EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
l_emp := person (-1,'n/a','n/a','n/a');
RETURN l_emp ;
END info_emp;{color}
{color:#ff0000}{color:#000000}After that, this is what the xml response looks like :{color}{color}
<first_name xsi:type="xsd:string">John</first_name>
<last_name xsi:type="xsd:string">Doe</last_name>
<emp_no xsi:type="xsd:string">0250193</emp_no>

i have to club cost and Qty of two tables(four measures) as two measures in the UI report. There are more columns in these tables that restrict the UNION of the tables.(for the sake
of understanding , i have not mentioned the othr columns). In the UI report(Execl 2013-power pivot) iam plotting these measures against the
Table C.Typeid. Hence the measures drill down against each
Table C. Typeid as shown below:
Typeid Table A.cost Table A.Qty TableB.cost TableB.Qty
1              100             100
2              200             200
3
300             300
4
400             400
My requirement is to club these measures so that the report will be as below
Type id cost   Qty
1          100    100
2          200    200
3         300     300
4        400      400
Since i cannot club these in model,as a work around, i created a calculated measure in excel(Analyze tab->Calculations->olap tools->calculated measure) with the condition as below:
new cost = IIF (ISEMPTY(TableA.cost)="TRUE",TableB.cost,TableA.cost)
new Qty = IIF(ISEMPTY(TableA.Qty)="TRUE",TableB.Qty,TableA.Qty) and dragged these new measures into the report. It was working fine as expected.
But this functionality of Creating calculatedmeasure in excel report is possible only in 2013 excel version.
Now the requirement is to get the same result in 2010 excel. Can you please help me in implementing the same in 2010 excel? or any other alternative method to bring the columns in model itself. I tried to create a measure in table A with DAX expression as
: new cost :=CALCULATE(SUM(Table B.cost),ISBLANK(TableA.cost)) -> but this will return only 1 result .i need Sum(Table A.cost) also if it is not blank.
Thanks in advance

You can use SUMX ( 'Table A', 'Table A'[Cost] + 'Table B'[cost] )
However, if you install the latest version of Power Pivot in Excel 2010, it supports the ISEMPTY function, too.

[UIX] How To: Return multiple values from a LOV

Hi gang
I've been receiving a number of queries via email on how to return multiple items from a LOV using UIX thanks to earlier posts of mine on OTN. I'm unfortunately aware my previous posts on this are not that clear thanks to the nature of the forums Q&A type approach. So I thought I'd write one clear post, and then direct any queries to it from now on to save me time.
Following is my solution to this problem. Please note it's just one method of many in skinning a cat. It's my understanding via chatting to Oracle employees that LOVs are to be changed in a future release of JDeveloper to be more like Oracle Forms LOVs, so my skinning skills may be rather bloody & crude very soon (already?).
I'll base my example on the hr schema supplied with the standard RDBMS install.
Say we have an UIX input-form screen to modify an employees record. The employees record has a department_id field and a fk to the departments table. Our requirement is to build a LOV for the department_id field such that we can link the employees record to any department_id in the database. In turn we want the department_name shown on the employees input form, so this must be returned via the LOV too.
To meet this requirement follow these steps:
1) In your ADF BC model project, create 2 EOs for employees and departments.
2) Also in your model, create 2 VOs for the same EOs.
3) Open your employees VO and create a new attribute DepartmentName. Check selected in query. In expressions type (SELECT dept.department_name FROM departments dept WHERE dept.department_id = employees.department_id). Check Updateable always.
4) Create a new empty UIX page in your ViewController project called editEmployees.uix.
5) From the data control palette, drag and drop EmployeesView1 as an input-form. Notice that the new field DepartmentName is also included in the input-form.
6) As the DepartmentName will be populated either from querying existing employees records, or via the LOV, disable the field as the user should not have the ability to edit it.
7) Select the DepartmentId field and delete it. In the UI Model window delete the DepartmentId binding.
8) From the data controls palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field as a messageLovInput onto your page. Note in your application navigator a new UIX page lovWindow0.uix (or similar) has been created for you.
9) While the lovWindow0.uix is still in italics (before you save it), rename the file to departmentsLov.uix.
10) Back in your editEmployees.uix page, your messageLovInput source will look like the following:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="${bindings.DepartmentId.path}"
    destination="lovWindow0.uix"/>Change it to be:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="DepartmentId"
    destination="departmentsLov.uix"
    partialRenderMode="multiple"
    partialTargets="_uixState DepartmentName"/>11) Also change your DepartmentName source to look like the following:
<messageTextInput
    id=DepartmentName
    model="${bindings.DepartmentName}"
    columns="10"
    disabled="true"/>12) Open your departmentsLov.uix page.
13) In the data control palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field of the DepartmentView1 as a LovTable into the Results area on your page.
14) Notice in the UI Model window that the 3 binding controls have been created for you, an iterator, a range and a binding for DepartmentId.
15) Right click on the DepartmentsLovUIModel node in the UI Model window, then create binding, display, and finally attribute. The attribute binding editor will pop up. In the select-an-iterator drop down select the DepartmentsView1Iterator. Now select DepartmentName in the attribute list and then the ok button.
16) Note in the UI Model you now have a new binding called DCDefaultControl. Select this, and in the property palette change the Id to DepartmentName.
17) View the LOV pages source, and change the lovUpdate event as follows:
<event name="lovSelect">
    <compound>
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentId" />
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentName.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentName" />
    </compound>
</event>18) Return to editEmployees.uix source, and modify the lovUpdate event to look as follows:
<event name="lovUpdate">
    <compound>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentId}" target="${bindings.DepartmentId}" property="inputValue"/>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentName}" target="${bindings.DepartmentName}" property="inputValue"/>
    </compound>
</event>Thats it. Now when you select a value in your LOV, it will return 2 (multiple!) values.
A couple things to note:
1) In the messageLovInput id field we dont use the .path notation. This is mechanism for returning 1 value from the LOV and is useless for us.
2) Again in the messageLovInput we supply _uixState as an entry in the partialTargets.
3) We are relying on partial-page-refresh functionality to update multiple items on the screen.
Im not going to take the time out to explain these 3 points, but its worthwhile you learning more about them, especially the last 2, as a separate exercise.
One other useful thing to do is, in your messageLovInput, include as a last entry in the partialTargets list MessageBox. In turn locate the messageBox control on your page (if any), and supply an id=MessageBox. This will allow the LOV to place any errors raised in the MessageBox and show them to the user.
I hope this works for you :)
Cheers,
CM.

Thanks Chris,
It took me some time to find the information I needed, how to use return multiple values from a LOV popup window, then I found your post and all problems were solved. Its working perfectly, well, almost perfectly.
Im always fighting with ADF-UIX, it never does the thing that I expect it to do, I guess its because I have a hard time letting go of the total control you have as a developer and let the framework take care of a few things.
Anyway, I'm using your example to fill 5 fields at once, one of the fields being a messageChoice (a list with countries) with a LOV to a lookup table (id , country).
I return the countryId from the popup LOV window, that works great, but it doesn't set the correct value in my messageChoice . I think its because its using the CountryId for the listbox index.
So how can I select the correct value inside my messageChoice? Come to think of it, I dont realy think its LOV related...
Can someone help me out out here?
Kind regards

Returning multiple values from a table

Hi there i am working on a bit of sql which will return values when they exist in a table.
The code I have returns the correct value when there is only one entry in the tbl_studentmodules table, as soon as there is more than one entry in this table it displays no rows at all :(.
Can anyone point out how I go about returning multiple values?
             select modulename from tbl_modulefeedback
where 1 = (select count(*) from tbl_studentmodules
       where upper(:APP_USER) = upper(student_id))
and 1 = (select count(*) from tbl_modulefeedback, tbl_studentmodules
      where tbl_modulefeedback.modulecode = tbl_studentmodules.modulecode)Thanks in advance!
Ashleigh

I'm not quite sure I understand what you are looking for, but I think a simple join may be what you need. something like:
select modulename
from tbl_modulefeedback mfb
   join tbl_studentmodules sm
      on mfb.modulecode = sm.modulecode
where upper(sm.student_id) = upper(:APP_USER)This will return the module name for all modules that the given student has provided feeedback for. If there is a possibility that a student/module combination could appear in tbl_studentmodules more than once, something like this might be better to show the modulename only once.
select modulename
from tbl_modulefeedback mfb
where mfb.modulecode in (select sm.modulecode
                         from tbl_studentmodules sm
                         where mfb.modulecode = sm.modulecode and
                               upper(sm.student_id) = upper(:APP_USER))If this is not what you want, then post some sample data (preferrable in the form of insert statements or a with clause) and the results you expect rom that sample data.

Return multiple values from a function to a SELECT statement

I hope I've provided enough information here. If not, just let me know what I'm missing.
I am creating a view that will combine information from a few tables. Most of it is fairly straightforward, but there are a couple of columns in the view that I need to get by running a function within a package. Even this is fairly straightforward (I have a function named action_date in a package called rp, for instance, which I can use to return the date I need via SELECT rp.action_date(sequence_number).
Here's the issue: I actually need to return several bits of information from the same record (not just action_date, but also action_office, action_value, etc.) - a join of the tables won't work here as I'll explain below. I can, of course, run a separate function for each statement but that is obviously inefficient. Within the confines of the view select statement however, I'm not sure how to return each of the values I need.
For instance, right now, I have:
Table1:
sequence_number NUMBER(10),
name VARCHAR(30),
Table2:
Table1_seq NUMBER(10),
action_seq NUMBER(10),
action_date DATE,
action_office VARCHAR(3),
action_value VARCHAR(60),
I can't simply join Table1 and Table2 because I have to do some processing in order to determine which of the matching returned rows I actually need to select. So the package opens a cursor and processes each row until it finds the one that I need.
The following works but is inefficient since all of the calls to the package will return columns from the same record. I just don't know how to return all the values I need into the SELECT statement.
CREATE VIEW all_this_stuff AS
SELECT sequence_number, name,
rp.action_date(sequence_number) action_date,
rp.action_office(sequence_number) action_office,
rp.action_value(sequence_number) action_value
FROM table1
Is there a way to return multiple values into my SELECT statement or am I going about this all wrong?
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!

Hi,
What you want is a Top-N Query , which you can do using the analytic ROW_NUMBER function in a sub-query, like this:
WITH     got_rnum     AS
     SELECT     action_seq, action_dt, action_office, action_type, action_value
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( ORDER BY action_date
                               ,            action_seq
                         ,            action_serial
                       ) AS rnum
     FROM     table2
     WHERE     action_code     = 'AB'
     AND     action_office     LIKE 'E'     -- Is this right?
SELECT     action_seq, action_dt, action_office, action_type, action_value
FROM     got_rnum
WHERE     rnum     = 1
;As written, this will return (at most) one row.
I suspect you'll really want to get one row for each group , where a group is defined by some value in a table to which you're joining.
In that case, add a PARTITION BY clause to the ROW_NUMBER function.
If you'd post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), I could show you exactly how.
Since I don't have your tables, I'll show you using tables in the scott schema.
Here's a view that has data from the scott.dept table and also from scott.emp, but only for the most senior employee in each department (that is, the employee with the earliest hiredate). If there happens to be a tie for the earliest hiredate, then the contender with the lowest empno is chosen.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW     senior_emp
AS
WITH     got_rnum     AS
     SELECT     d.deptno
     ,     d.dname
     ,     e.empno
     ,     e.ename
     ,     e.hiredate
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY d.deptno
                               ORDER BY         e.hiredate
                         ,                e.empno
                       ) AS rnum
     FROM     scott.dept     d
     JOIN     scott.emp     e     ON     d.deptno     = e.deptno
SELECT     deptno
,     dname
,     empno
,     ename
,     hiredate
FROM     got_rnum
WHERE     rnum     = 1
SELECT     *
FROM     senior_emp
;Output:
.    DEPTNO DNAME               EMPNO ENAME      HIREDATE
        10 ACCOUNTING           7782 CLARK      09-JUN-81
        20 RESEARCH             7369 SMITH      17-DEC-80
        30 SALES                7499 ALLEN      20-FEB-81
By the way, one of the conditions in the query you posted was
action_office     LIKE 'E'which is equivalent to
action_office     = 'E'(LIKE is always equivalent to = if the string after LIKE doesn't contain any wildcards.)
Did you mean to say that, or did you mean something like this:
action_office     LIKE 'E%'instead?

Search and return multiple value.
