Splitting field into two columns

HI,
I'm told it is possible to have a field be split up into multiple columns in the details section of a report rather than having it listed in a single column. How can this be accomplished? I've heard it has something to do with subreports.
For instance, instead of this:
Bob
Jane
Sally
Barbara
Jim
Dave
It could look like this (columns not lined up in this example, not sure how to do it on this forum):
Bob          Jane
Sally          Barbara
Jim          Dave
Thanks

No need to use subreports

Part content of a text field into two columns

Hi,
I have a question regarding text field objects in Crystal Reports 2008 (SP3) for my ASP.NET app.
I want the text object to have a maximum height and a column width. After the text object has reached the maximum height it should continue rendering the text into a second column.
I already saw that function for single data records and per detail section (multiple columns setting in the Designer). Using it would require to throw my current report design away so I'm not too much into that.
Is it possible to do that with existing functions? If yes - how?
Regards

Don't see how this could be done at all...
Typically, if you can figure out how to do it in the designer, you can pattern that for the SDK. But like you said, only way to do it in the designer is to create a new multi-column report...

Split one column value into two columns using t-sql

Hi All,
I have one varchar column in a table.
Col1
ABC-12C4
BC-A345
CD
XYZ
How to split this into two columns like this using t-sql
Col1   Col2
ABC    12C4
BC      A345
CD
XYZ
Thanks,

sql

assuming a static delimiter, and the split will end up with a max of 2 columns, something like this would work. basically you just need to determine where the delimiter is, and then use the left and right functions to find the 2 pieces.
declare @t table(value varchar(10))
insert into @t(value)
values
('ABC-12C4'), ('BC-A345'), ('CD'), ('XYZ')
select
case
when charindex('-', value) != 0 then left(value, charindex('-', value) - 1)
else value
end as col1,
case
when charindex('-', value) != 0 then right(value, len(value) - charindex('-', value))
else ''
end as col2
from @t

Split records into two files based on lookup table

Hi,
I'm new to ODI and want to know on how I could split records into two files based on a value in one of the columns in the table.
Example:
Table:
my columns are
account name country
100 USA
200 USA
300 UK
200 AUS
So from the 4 records I maintain list of countries in a lookup file and split the records into 2 different files based on values in the file...
Say I have records AUS and UK in my lookup file...
So my ODI routine should send all records with country into file1 and rest to file2.
So from above records
File1:
300 UK
200 AUS
File2:
100 USA
200 USA
Can you help me how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Sam

1. where and how do i create filter to restrict countries? In source or target? Should I include some kind of filter operator in interface.
You need to have the Filter on the Source side so that we can filter records accordingly the capture the same in the File. To have a Filter . In the source data store click and drag the column outside the data store and you will have Cone shaped icon and now you can click and type the Filter.
Please look into this link for ODI Documentation -http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/data-integrator/documentation/index.html
Also look into this Getting started guide - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15985_01/doc.10136/getstart/GSETL.pdf . You can find information as how to create Filter in this guide.
2. If I have include multipe countries like (USA,CANADA,UK) to go to one file and rest to another file; Can I use some kind of lookup file...? Instead of modifying filter inside interface...Can i Update entries in the file?
there are two ways of handling your situation.
Solution 1.
1. Create Variable Country_Variable
2. Create a Filter in the Source datastore in the First Interface ( SOURCE.COLUMN = #Country_Variable)
3. Create a new Package Country File Unload
4. Call the Variable in Country_Variable in Set Mode and provide the Country (USA )
5. Next call the First Interface
6. Next call the Second Interface where the Filter condition will be ( SOURCE.COLUMN ! = #Country_Variable )
7. Now run the package .
Solution 2.
If you need a solution to handle through Filer.
1. Use this Method (http://odiexperts.com/how-to-refresh-odi-variables-from-file-%E2%80%93-part-1-%E2%80%93-just-one-value ) to call the File where you wish to create store the country name into the variable Country_Variable
2. Pretty much the same Create a Filter in the Source datastore in the First Interface ( SOURCE.COLUMN = #Country_Variable)
3.Create a new Package Country File Unload
4.Next call the Second Interface where the Filter condition will be ( SOURCE.COLUMN ! = #Country_Variable )
5. Now run the package .
Now through this way using File you can control the File.
Please try and let us know , if you need any other help.

Split string into two based on end of word and max length

I have the following procedure, which is passed a comma separated string as it input, and it has to split it into two, and the split has to occur at the end of a word, and the first split part can't be more than 15 in length.
Is there an more efficient way of achieving this? I have a loop in my main code that calls this procedure and in effect a nested loop has been created here.
e.g. Hello, everyone, welcome, to, split, string' would be split into 'Hello' and 'everyone, welcome, to, split, string'
create or replace procedure split_str
               (pi_str in varchar2,
                po_str1 out nocopy varchar2,
                po_str2 out nocopy varchar2) is
i number;
begin
if (len(pi_str) <= 15) then
    po_str1 := pi_str;
    po_str2 := NULL;
else
    i := 1;
    loop
      exit when len(SUBSTR(pi_str, 1 ,INSTR(pi_str, ',', 1, i)-1)) > 15;
      po_str1 := SUBSTR(pi_str, 1 ,INSTR(pi_str, ',', 1, i)-1);
      po_str2 := SUBSTR(pi_str, INSTR(pi_str, ',', 1, i)+2);
      i := i+1;
    end loop;
end if;
end split_str;

You want to find the last space character before the 15th character.
x := INSTR ( SUBSTR ( pi_str, 1, 15) , ' ' , -1)Then the first string is SUBSTR(pi_str,1,x) and the second string is SUBSTR(pi_str,x+1)

Album download relabels itself and splits itself into two separate album folders

I have purchased and downloaded an album from a reputable and legal independent website that I have successfully used in the past, but the album folder seems to have a glitch.
When I download the album it labels itself "Standard" instead of by the name of the album title, like it usually does. Then when I add it to my iTunes library, it relabels itself to the album name and subsequently splits itself into two separate album folders. 9 random tracks located in one folder, 13 in the other. The only difference between the labels of the two album folders is that one has an underscore at the end of it. I have exhausted all my trouble shooting tricks like ensuring all the common metadata is the same (artist, album, sorting, grouping, genre, playlist etc) and deleting and re-downloading, and subsequently copying and pasting files into the correct place but the same thing keeps happening.
I have downloaded all the latest software updates on my iMac 10.10.1 and use OS X Yosemite. I have tried clearing my cache, cookies and webpage history and then downloading again using a completely different browser without success. I've even tried dragging and dropping files from one folder into the other, again without success. I would be grateful for any expert advice.

It's a bug that has been there for years.
There are workarounds, but you have to do them every time an album gets split. And that will happen every time you change an artist name or an album name (whether it's to change it to proper capitalization, or other reasons). There is no permanent solution.
Workaround #1:
1. Select all the tracks from the album
2. Right click and select "Get Info"
3. Change the album name by deleting, let's say, the last letter and press "OK"
4. Change the album name back.
Workaround #2:
1. Select all the tracks from the album
2. Right click and select "Get Info"
3. Change the artist name by deleting, let's say, the last letter and press "OK"
4. Change the artist name back.
Workaround #3:
1. Select all the tracks from the album
2. Right click and select "Get Info"
3. Go to "Options"
4. Check (or uncheck, if it's already check) the "Part of a compilation" box and press "OK"
P.S. Some smart person moved this thread from the "iTunes U" forum to the "iTunes for Mac" forum. But the OP clearly said he runs iTunes on Windows.

Error when splitting a Table into two columns - Please help!

Hi!
I have created a table in which I have created a header which has been split into 3 parts conisting of 2 columns. These all work fine. However, when I try to split the row below the header row into 2 columns, it does so but, in a way, connects the line inbetween the two columns with the line inbetween the two columns above and will not allow me to move it left or right by manually changing specs or dragging the line. Please help! (I'm using CS5 by the way!) Thank you!

I suggest you begin with a pre-built CSS Layout. DW has several to help jump start your projects. Go to File > New Blank Page > HTML. Select a layout from the 3rd panel and hit CREATE. See screenshot.
Save this layout as test.html and begin building your prototype page saving and validating code often during your work sessions.

Split a field into 3 columns for a report - Shoud be done in R/3 or BW

Hi all,
I have to split a Text Description (TXTMD) into 3 columns for reporting.
This description is available in R/3 table and in BW InfoObject.
What is the best way to accomplish this task ?
Should I enhance the Extract structure and fill those 3 new ZZ fields on R/3?
Should I do it on BW side ? How, please ???
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Venkat.

If the purpose of splitting is to overcome the limitation of Infoobject, I would recommend doing that in BW side for a couple reasons: You don't need worry about having R/3 transport and also if you are working on LO extractors you don't need to worry about setup tables. Secondly, it is easy to manage the fields in BW side than R/3, because you will be sending fewer fields.
thanks.

Hi Alan,
Another thought. You can sort the data as it is. Click on Reorganize button on the ToolBar:
To get:
Every cell starting with TI and a space will come together, and sorted by whatever follows TI and a space.
However, if it looks nicer to split the entries, use Badunit's formula.
Alan wrote: "I also clicked on C2 and went to insert/fill/ but the options are greyed out o I can'r apply to all unless I do it manually... and it's a mahoosive file."
To fill down, click on C2 then drag the white handle down. Or, select the rows that you want to fill before Insert > Fill (Numbers needs to know how far to fill).
