Sum a distinct record

Post Author: hamish_sco
CA Forum: Formula
Hi there, I wondered if anyone knows if it is possible to do the following;I have data columns for 'invoice number', 'amount' and 'amount paid'.There is some duplication in the data - an invoice can be paid in several installments, but this puts in a new row containing the invoice number and amount. When the data is Sum then it is incorrect.I can do a distinct count to find the actual number of invoices, but I would like also to Sum the amount of all invoices, but this needs to ignore any duplicate entries. Obviously this should ideally be done database side, but the procedures I have do not allow this, so I wondered if this could be done Crystal side? CheersHamish

duplicate data is generally caused by joining multiple tables with multiple similar records, if you can not surpress this in the stored procedure a work around in the report would be
create a group for 'invoice number',
place the fields 'invoice number', 'amount' and 'amount paid'.in the group header( the header will return the first value it hits for the grouping)
in order to get correct values on duplicate data you would need to use manual running totals(dont use the wizard)
create 3 formulas
reset formula (gets placed in the group header)
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x := 0;
calc formula (gets placed next to value that needs to be calculated)
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x := x +{field or formula};
display formuls (gets placed in footer)
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x;
x

Hi all,
I want to use a sum function with distinct and also with case.

This is working but i don't get distinct records.
SO i tried using in this way
Sum( case when a.value='TOOL' then distinct e.value else 0 end)

Distinct records

hi all,
i am calculating sum for one column but i want sum for the distinct records from the table
SELECT D_NUMBER,D_TYPE,SUM(D_AMT)
FROM D_TABLE
WHERE D_CODE =:PARAMETER
GROUP BY D_NUMBER,D_TYPEin the above case D_NUMBER,D_TYPE may repeat i want the amount for distinct records. how can i for a query to get (tried with distinct but not getting the correct sum..
Thanks..

Hi,
so you searching for something between d_number,d_type and d_amt and the sum of d_amt based on the first two. Then you need a differentiator, how do you do make the first 2 distinct based on some other column, so these 3 will be distinct, otherwise it will not be possible, except if you say the first 3 rows belong together, and that is what I want to be summed.

Actuate to BIP Conversion Need Help with Sum and Distinct

Hi,
I am in the process of converting an Actuate report to BI Publisher .rtf format. Within the actuate report I have encountered the following code in one of the fields:
Sum([ssCalc])Distinct([ssProfessional_Id])
From what I understand this Actuate code is grouping by distinct ssProfessional_Id then taking the sum of the ssCalc field.
In my .rtf template I have the following:
<?for-each-group:ssSRA;./ssCIN?>
<?ssCalc?>
<?end for-each-group?>
I need to convert the Actuate code into the place where I currently have <?ssCalc?> in my template but I have no idea how I can translate translate this. Does anyone have any suggestions?????
Thanks,

How can I get the number of distinct records that each field of a DB table has?

Hi everyone,
I would like to know how to get he number of distinct records that each field of a DB table has. When tracing a SQL statement either in ST12 or ST05, in the plan execution, if the sentence made useage of an index, then I can click in the index name and see this kind of information (no. of distinct values for each field of that index).
Can I do something like this but with the whole fields of a table?
What I have found until now is in Tx ST10; I search for whatever kind of table statistics and then use the function of "Analyze table" (which takes me to Tx DB05). In here, I can enter a table and up to 5 fields in order to get the information that I want.
Is there any other way to do this?

David Reza

Hi David,
You can export the same to excel and sort as per requirement.
Sorry is that what you are looking for ?

Select distinct records in Mapping with no Key field (all fields can vary)

Hi Experts,
Let me take an example (not the actual requirement but same scenario) to explain the problem where I need your help to get best possible way to resolve. This has to be achieved in mapping, don't have other options as its part of complex end 2 end scenario.
I have following input XML:
<Employee>
   <Details>
      <Id>123</Id>
      <Name>ABC</Name>
     <Role>Manager</Role>
      <Area>Bangalore</Area>
    </Details>
    <Details>
       <Id>123</Id>
       <Name>ABC</Name>
        <Role>Manager</Role>
         <Area>Pune</Area>
     </Details>
      <Details>
       <Id>123</Id>
       <Name>ABC</Name>
        <Role>Advisor</Role>
         <Area>Bangalore</Area>
     </Details>
      <Details>
       <Id>123</Id>
       <Name>ABC</Name>
        <Role>Manager</Role>
         <Area>Bangalore</Area>
       <Details>
       <Id>143</Id>
       <Name>ABC</Name>
        <Role>Manager</Role>
         <Area>Bangalore</Area>
     </Details>
</Employee>
The output XML is:
<Employee>
   <MainRec>
       <Id>123</Id>
        <Name>ABC</Name>
         <table name = 'Roles'>
               <record>
                      <Id>123</Id>
                       <Role>Manager</Role>
                        <Area>Bangalore</Area>
                  </record>
                  <record>
                      <Id>123</Id>

                        <Area>Bangalore</Area>
                  </record>
              </table>
      </MainRec>
      <MainRec>
        <Id>123</Id>
        <Name>ABC</Name>
         <table name = 'Roles'>
               <record>
                      <Id>143</Id>
                       <Role>Manager</Role>
                        <Area>Bangalore</Area>
                  </record>
            </table>
        </MainRec>
</Employee>
As you can see from the example above, here I want to populate only distinct records under table, but there is no key fiield to ditunguish. Any of the 3 fields (Id, Role,Area) can vary and between 2 records if all of these fields are same then its duplicate else select it. So in above XML just discard the 4th record from the source XML and populate all others. Each record has to be checked against all other records all 3 values (ID, Role, Area). Only when none of the records have exactly the same values, populate it.
Also records with different ID come under different table node. Hope my requirement is clear, if not please let me know, i will try to explain better.
I thought of creating a UDF to achieve this but not able to decide how to match it to the output message here.
Best Regards,
Pratik

Hi,
For the main record, I think you only need to check for each unique ID, e.g
Id --> removeContext --> sort:ascending --> splitByValue:valueChanged --> collapseContext --> MainRec
For the record, however, you need to create a UDF that will filter out the duplicate values. For this, the UDF sample mentioned here contained multipleResult lists
Id --> removeContext --> concat: : --> concat: : --> UDF --> splitByValue:ValueChanged --> record
role --> removeContext --> /          /                \ --> Id
area --> removContext -------------> /                  \ --> role
                                                         \ --> area
Context type UDF
Arguments: input
Result: IdResult
Result: roleResult
Result: areaResult
Vector temp = new Vector();
for(int a=0;a<input.length;a++){
   if(!temp.contains(input[a])
         temp.add(input[a]);
for(int a=0;a<temp.size();a++){
   String tmp = (String) temp.get(a);
   /*split according to field */
   IdResult.addValue(tmp.substring(0,tmp.indexOf(":")));
   roleResult.addValue(tmp.substring(tmp.indexOf(":")+1,tmp.lastIndexOf(":")));
   areaResult.addValue(tmp.substring(tmp.lastIndexOf(":")+1,tmp.length()));
note: Id and record will both be using the IdResult list.
Hope this helps,
Mark

How to distinct records?

Value Set whose Data come from customize table with distinct record

Dear All,
I am new in Oracle EBS, currently i am creating value set whose data come from customize table which have 40 duplicate record in which distinct column return 27 record .
Table XX_ROUND_SET
Columns (Transactions_id,set_record)
Total Record (40)
Distinct Record (Set_Record --> 27)
I just want to show only 27 record in it.
Thanks
Rehan

Hi Rehan,
PL.IGNORE MY EARLIER UPDATE AND TREAT THIS UPDATE AS YOUR SOLUTION.
Method 1
Create the VIEW based on DISTINCT values; use the VIEW for creates the VALUESET.
Method 2
Paste the QUERY in TABLE field with alias name, and give the column name (with alias name).
(in your case )
TABLE NAME : ( select distinct transactions_id, set_record from XX_ROUND_SET ) Y
VALUE : Y.transactions_id

"Select Distinct Records" Option Not Available

Hello Experts.
I am working on a new report in CR XI, and noticed that I had many duplicate records. I went to the File; Report Options; and expected to click on "Select Distinct Records", but that choice was grayed-out. What would have caused me to lose this option, and how do I fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Not sure if this covers it or not, but....
The Select Distinct Records command is only available for ODBC, OLE DB, and SQL native drivers; it is not available for Stored Procedures. Note also that your server may automatically sort returned values if no sort is specified in Crystal Reports.

Distinct records with conditional select formula

Post Author: nelsonchris
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hello,
I have a simple report pulling data from two tables. I want
only distinct records. I am selecting records based on
parameters; here is the select formula:
({?Service Name} = "*" or {selsvc.ServiceName} like
{?Service Name})and
({?Program Name} = "*" or {selsvc.Selected Service Entry
Program Name} like {?Program Name}) and
({?Agency Name} = "*" or {selsvc.Selected Service Entry
Agency Name} like {?Agency Name})
The problem comes from the fact that Crystal will add the
selsvc fields to the reports SQL select code, which has the
effect of duplicating some records that do not have the same
values for the selsvc fields. The select formula above is
the only place in the report where values from the selsvc
field are used, and as you can see they are only used when
the user has submitted a matching parameter for them. I can
not figure out how to get rid of the duplicates, please
help!
Thanks for your time,
Chris

I don't follow why you are getting duplicates with your selectionare you getting duplicates without the selection criteria?if you are then they really are not duplicates and there could be issues with your joins between the 2 tables

Distinct record help!

Hi All,
Hope you are doing great!
I have the following query.
SELECT DISTINCT DT.STD_ID STDID,
UP.FIRST_NAME FIRSTNAME,
UP.LAST_NAME LASTNAME,
DT.TYPE ROLE,
NVL2 (CT.USER_ID, 'Y', 'N') CKCTEAM,
CT.USER_ID
FROM DEAL D,
DEAL_TEAM DT,
CKC_TEAM CT,
USER_PROFILE UP
WHERE D.DEAL_ID = DT.DEAL_ID
AND DT.STD_ID = UP.STD_ID
AND D.DEAL_ID = 'D0002064';
And the following result.
STDID     FIRSTNAME LASTNAME ROLE     CKCTEAM     USER_ID
V285773     MAHIA     ANNA     CREATEBY     Y     E067448

O256285     ALLA     OLWEN     EDITOR     Y     E067448
I need the results to have distinct records based on the first name and last name irrespective of the roles. Now you can see from the result set that there is a duplicate record for "MAHIA     ANNA" since the user has 2 different roles.
Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks in advance

Use query from my previous post, if you want to group your records only by names. Or this, if you want to group by all except role.
SELECT DT.STD_ID STDID,
UP.FIRST_NAME FIRSTNAME,
UP.LAST_NAME LASTNAME,
max(DT.TYPE) ROLE,
NVL2 (CT.USER_ID, 'Y', 'N') CKCTEAM,
CT.USER_ID
FROM DEAL D,
DEAL_TEAM DT,
CKC_TEAM CT,
USER_PROFILE UP
WHERE D.DEAL_ID = DT.DEAL_ID
AND DT.STD_ID = UP.STD_ID
AND D.DEAL_ID = 'D0002064' group by DT.STD_ID,UP.FIRST_NAME, UP.LAST_NAME,CT.USER_ID;

Convert comma delimed values to distinct records

Hello,
i wrote the following code to get the data from comma delimited row into distinct values to another table. say for example my data into column looks like this.
long_string column data looks like this:
11,12,14,16,13,18,17
11,12,13,15,16,17,18,19,20,30
11,20,30,40,67,90,87,65,76,43,23,56,78,90,12,22,34 - which doesn't have a comma at the end of the data.
i need to convert this into distinct record for each rows data.
i used mod function...
can some one help me.
DECLARE
cursor c_1 is select LONG_STRING from TEST;
rec c_1%rowtype;
temp_VAR varchar2(100);

end if;
end loop;
close c_1;
end;
Thanks...

Ah, I see, I took my requirement from the later posters as it wasn't clear from OP. It's not the aggregation problem that Listagg solves, but the inverse, disaggregation. I don't know a direct equivalent SQL function, but not to worry, it seems my weekend effort on another thread wasn't wasted because I can see a very simple variation on one of the solutions there that will solve this one very efficiently. It uses the model clause to iterate over the commas without any regular expression functions, XML, tree walks etc. to slow it down, and this approach should work for many similar problems. I'll add an id column so we know where the rows came from and a subid for ordering (you can drop them if you like), and an extra test record with no comma.
CREATE TABLE test_otn (id INTEGER, text VARCHAR2(4000));
INSERT INTO test_otn VALUES (1, '11,12,14,16,13,18,17');
INSERT INTO test_otn VALUES (2, '11,12,13,15,16,17,18,19,20,30');
INSERT INTO test_otn VALUES (3, '99');
INSERT INTO test_otn VALUES (4, '11,20,30,40,67,90,87,65,76,43,23,56,78,90,12,22,34');

Distinct Records Selection in Crystal 11

Need to select Distinct Records only, but the drop down under 'Database' shows the 'Select Distinct Records' option grayed out. Why does Crystal do that, and how may I eliminate duplicate records? Thanks!

Hi Brian,
This issue normally comes when there are multiple datasources being used. For example if you are using two databases, like Oracle and MS Access to fetch data, the "Select Dictinct Records" will be greyed out.
In this case, you might want to write a query in the Add Command option which select distinct records.
If you are using only one database, then check if you are able to select "Select Dinstinct Records" in the Database menu.
Please let us know if this helps.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Get Distinct records with a condition

I have a table with multiple records per Person and an active status column. I would like to fetch distinct records by PersonID and PersonName but also return active status with a condition that if person is active on at least one he is considered active.
Here is my table.
DECLARE @Person TABLE (PersonID INT, PersonName VARCHAR(50), DeptName VARCHAR(50), Active bit)
INSERT INTO @Person (PersonID, PersonName, DeptName, Active) VALUES (111, 'John', 'Finance', 0), (111, 'John', 'HR', 1),(222, 'Jack', 'Payroll', 0),(333, 'Mark', 'Facilities', 1),(444, 'Bill', 'IT', 0),(444, 'Bill', 'HR', 1),(444, 'Bill', 'Finance', 1)
My resultset after the query should be as follows.
(111, 'John', 1),(222,'Jack',0),(333,'Mark',1),(444,'Bill',1)
Thanks for the help.

>> I have a table with multiple records [sic] per Person and an active status column. <<
Rows are not records. Tables have to have a key by definition and since they model a set, the names are plural or collective. These are fundamentals that were covered in the first few chapters of any book on RDBMS. You do not know ISO-11179 naming rules.
You still use assembly language bit flags in SQL! A status is a state of being so it requires a temporal component. Do you really know people with FIFTY character name? Even in Poland and India, that is not likely. But when you allow garbage data, you will
get it.
Identifiers are CHAR(n), not numeric; what math do you do with them? Again, this is a fundamental of data modeling.
You are simply reenforcing your bad habits and not taking the time to learn how to do RDBMS correctly.
CREATE TABLE Personnel --- collective name!
(person_id CHAR(3) NOT NULL,
person_name VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
dept_name VARCHAR(10)NOT NULL,
hire_date DATE NOT NULL,
termination_date DATE,
CHECK (hire_date < termination_date),
