Selecting data from a cell in a table

I want to be able select data from a cell in a table by looking up a specified header row and header column. For example, if my table has column headings of "Micro", "Emerging", and "Large" and my rows are labeled "Silver", "Gold", and "Platinum", how do I find the data in the table that is associated with column "emerging" and row "Platinum"?

I thought that pointing to the User Guide was clear enough but it seems that it wasn't.
Assuming that you have a spreadsheet with two sheets.
The first one is named "jardin"
it contains a table named "potager"
a column header of this table is "carotte"
a row header of this table is "longue"
The cell of row "longue" of column "carotte" contains "cuite"
The other sheet is named "garden"
it contains a table named "potager"
the column header of column 3 of this table is "carotte"
the row header of row 5 of this table is "longue"
In cell E10 of this table insert the formula :
=INDIRECT("jardin"&" :: "&"potager"&" :: "&"carotte"&" "&"lapin")
It will grab the value of row "lapin" of column "carotte" of table "potager" of sheet "jardin"
This result is "cuite"
I hope that now you are able to achieve your goal which we may write, in French :
Les carottes sont cuites.

Numbers '09: How can I display selected data from one cell in another cell?

Hello.
I have a Numbers document that contains a table that looks a little like this:
Amount;Code
Amount
Code
10;12B
12;8A
14;16E
16;3C
18;5A
I'd like to have Numbers 09 automatically separate the "Amount;Code" data in the coloumns to the right.
Do you know the right function and/or equation to make this happen? Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
Cameron168

Formula for Amount:
=LEFT(A2,FIND(";",A2,1)-1)
Formula for Code
=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND(";",A2,1))
I just modified the equation for separting first and last names from:

You will have to put in your correct cell names
Tested it and it works!

It would appear that you external table definition and the external data file data do not match up. Post a few input records so someone can duplicate the problem and determine the fix.

How to select data from a table using a date field in the where condition?

How to select data from a table using a date field in the where condition?
For eg:
data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
and bdatu = '31129999'.
thanks.

Hi Ramesh,
Specify the date format as YYYYMMDD in where condition.
Dates are internally stored in SAP as YYYYMMDD only.
Change your date format in WHERE condition as follows.
data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
and bdatu = <b>'99991231'.</b>
I doubt check your data base table EQUK on this date for the existince of data.
Otherwise, just change the conidition on BDATU like below to see all entries prior to this date.
data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
and <b> bdatu <= '99991231'.</b>
Thanks,

Hi Shanbagavalli,
There are multiple solutions to this questions a few i will try to answer and then you can take the best required for your requirements.
**Consider that you have a Internal table having document number from other table..
SELECT NAME ADRES REGION FROM ADRC
       INTO IT_ADRC
       FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_DOC
       WHERE DOCUMENT_NO = IT_DOC-DOCUMENT_NO.
**Consider that you have 1 document number then
SELECT NAME ADRES REGION FROM ADRC

How to select data from a PL/SQL table

Hi,
I am selecting data from database after doing some screening i want to store it in a PL/SQL table (temporary area) and pass it to oracle reports.
Is there any way to select the data from a PL/SQL table as a cursor. Or is there any other way of holding the temporary data and then pass it back as a cursor.
Regards
Kamal

A PL/SQL "table" is anything but a table. Whoever came up with this term in PL/SQL to describe what is known as dynamic arrays (the correct programming terminology that existed since the 70's if not earlier and what is used in all other programming languages I'm familiar with)... well, several descriptions come to mind and none of them are complimentary.
You cannot "select" from a PL/SQL dynamic array as it is not a table within the Oracle context of tables.
Thus you need to convert (cast) a PL/SQL dynamic array into a temporary Oracle data set/table in order to select from it. This is in general a Bad Idea (tm). Oracle tables and SQL and concurrency controls and all that are especially designed for processing data. PL/SQL arrays is a very simplistic data structure with very limited usage. Why would you want to use that in SQL via a SELECT statement when you can use Oracle tables (or proper temp tables) instead? Besides that, it is also slow to cast a dynamic PL/SQL array into an Oracle SQL data set structure (context switching, copying of memory, etc).
The proper way to use PL/SQL to generate data sets for use via the SQL engine is pipelined table functions.
This is not to say that you should never use PL/SQL arrays and casting in SQL.. simply that you need to make sure that this is the correct and scalable way to do it. And that will also always be an exception to the rule when you do.

I have the correct privileges on the directory, but the error seems to be on the EMPLOYER_NAME field. The file I try to upload is in pipe-delimited format. The last field in the file does not have a pipe-delimiter at the end. Can this be the problem? Must I go and look for any trailing spaces? Can I specify in the external table script how many characters I need for the employer_name field? We receive this file from an external company
Thank you very much for the help
Ferdie

common mistake, you gave the field sizes in the
column listing of the table, but not in the file
definition. oracle does not apply one to the other.
in the file defintion section, give explict field
sizes.Hi shoblock
Sorry for only coming back to you now, thank you for your help, I had to give the explicit field size for the last column (employer name).
Thank you once again!!

Select Data from 2 intern tables

Hi Experts,
how I can select Data from 2 intern Tables into another intern table?
For Example:
My Result Table has the fields: mandt, user, ID, ID_Name.
My select table no. 1 has the fields mandt, XYZ (like A_Name), ID, ID_Name, ...
My select table no. 2 has the fields mandt, A_Name, User, ...
I want to search for all entries in select table no. 1 and 2. where are a_name have the same worth.
How I can select my Dates?
Regards,
Mike

hii
you can do it by using for all entries and with READ statement ..do like follow code
IF i_marc[] IS NOT INITIAL.
    SELECT matnr                       " Material Number
           werks                       " Plants
           lgort                       " Storage Location
      FROM mard
      INTO TABLE i_mard
       FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_marc
     WHERE matnr EQ i_marc-matnr
       AND werks EQ i_marc-werks
       AND lgort IN s_lgort.
ENDIF.                               " IF i_mara[] IS NOT INITIAL
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    LOOP AT i_output INTO wa_output.
      READ TABLE i_mard INTO wa_mard WITH KEY matnr = wa_output-matnr.
      wa_output-lgort = wa_mard-lgort.
      MODIFY i_output FROM wa_output.
      CLEAR wa_output.
    ENDLOOP.                           " LOOP AT i_output
ENDIF.                               " IF sy-subrc EQ 0

Select data from database tables with high performance

hi all,
how to select data from different database tables with high performance.
im using for all entries instead of inner joins, even though burden on data base tables is going very high ( 90 % in se30)
hw to increase the performance.
kindly, reply.
thnks

Also Check you are not using open sql much like distict order by group by , use abap techniques on internal table to acive the same.
also Dont use select endselect.
if possible use up to n rows claus....
taht will limit the data base hits.
also dont run select in siode any loops.
i guess these are some of the trics oyu can use to avoid frequent DATA BASE HITS AND ABVOID THE DATA BASE LAOD.

Select data from all the table names in the view

Hi,
"I have some tables with names T_SRI_MMYYYY in my database.
I created a view ,Say "Summary_View" for all the table names
with "T_SRI_%".
Now i want to select data from all the tables in the view
Summary_View.
How can i do that ? Please throw some light on the same?
Thanks and Regards
Srinivas Chebolu

Srinivas,
There are a couple of things that I am unsure of here.
Firstly, does your view definition say something like ...
Select ...
From "T_SRI_%"
If so, it is not valid. Oracle won't allow this.
The second thing is that your naming convention for the
tables suggests to me that each table is the same except
that they store data for different time periods. This would be
a very bad design methodology. You should have a single
table with an extra column to state what period is referred to,
although you can partition it into segments for each period if
appropriate.
Apologies if i am misinterpreting your question, but perhaps
you could post your view definition and table definitions
here.

Select data from table not in another table

Hi,
I want to select data from table A which is not in table B.
Currently I am doing:
select
snoA,
nameA,
dobA
from A
where snoA not in
(select snoB from A, B
where snoA = snoB
and nameA = nameB)
But above is very slow.
Can I do something like:
select
snoA,
nameA,
dobA
from A, B
where
EXCLUDE ( snoA = snoB and nameA = nameB)
Please note that I need the where condition on both the columns.
any help will be appreciated.
-- Harvey

What are the approximate data volumes in A and B?
What is "very slow"?
What version of Oracle?
What is the query plan?
Without knowing anything about your system, my first thought would be to see if a NOT EXISTS happened to be faster for your data
SELECT snoA,
       nameA,
       dobA
FROM a
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT 1
      FROM b
     WHERE a.snoA = b.snoB
       AND a.nameA = b.nameB )Of course, I'm not sure why you are joining A & B in your NOT IN subquery. It would seem like you would just need a correlated subquery, i.e.
SELECT snoA,
       nameA,
       dobA
FROM a
WHERE snoA NOT IN (
    SELECT snoB
      FROM b
     WHERE a.snoA = b.snoB
       AND a.nameA = b.nameB )That should be more efficient than the original query. The NOT EXISTS version may or may not be more efficient than the NOT IN depending on data volumes.

Selecting data from two tables

I am trying to select data from two tables. The only problem that I am running into, is that i am only seeing results from my 'uploads' table. there is also a record in documents where user = 1 that should show up. here is my sql:
$userIDNum = 1;
$sql="Select *
from uploads, documents
WHERE uploads.user = documents.user AND uploads.user = $userIDNum
ORDER BY uploads.title ASC, documents.title ASC";

You'll need to explain a little more about your data and what you are trying to accomplish. Your current sql will select all columns from both the uploads and documents tables but only rows where the user id in both tables match, AND the user id equals 1. Is that not what you are seeing? Where's the code that outputs the results?
