Trouble when attempting to Sum Calculated Field.

I had to create a calculated field called RI_Limit which contains static data. (Developers/DBA could not enter it into the database at this time, so this was a work around.
The calculated field is setup as such:
=iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "a", 8, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "b",2, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "c",0, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "d",0, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "e",1, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "f",1, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "g ",0, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "h",0,iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "i",4,iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "j A",0,iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "k",0,iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "l",7,iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "m",0,iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "n", 1, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "o",0, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "p",1, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "q",3, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "r",1, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "s",1, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "t",3, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "u",5,iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "v",0,iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "w",0,"NA")))))))))))))))))))))))
and I setup a textbox with that expression and the numbers fill in correctly with its cooresponding site name.
However, when I go to sub total or total, I get a much larger number than expected. (See screenshot)
I have searched the internet on a way to calculate both the total by Location Level 2 and LOB total, but nothing that pertains to the specific issue where by calculated field contains static data. Nothing I try produces an accurate sum. Any suggestions?

Hi Katherine,
Sorry for taking a few days to reply.
I tried the suggestion, but it it still not summing my calculated fields. The total row will calculate my other cells okay but not the calculated fields that I had to add to the report. When I attempted to write an expression to sum the calculated
fields I get the following error message.
The expression used for the calculated field '=sum(iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test", 8, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test1",2, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test2",0, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test3",0, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test4",1, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test5",1, iif(Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test6 ",0, Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test7",0,Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test8",4,Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test9",0,Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test10",0,Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test11",7,Fields!Location_LOCATION_NAME.Value = "test12",0,Fields!))' includes an aggregate, RowNumber, RunningValue, Previous or lookup function. Aggregate, RowNumber, RunningValue, Previous and lookup functions cannot be used in calculated field expressions.
The Espression for the calculated field I am attempting to sum is the following:

How to avoid duplications making a SUM calculated field

Hi, I'm trying to resolve this problem;
In my dataset (in a custom folder on the administrator) I have a list of tickets (with some attributes), and some of them are duplicated:
For example
Ticket_id     Group_id             Ticket_date                Resource_name          Ticket_status
5416          100000401       10/12/2007 7:10:31 am                Mr. A                 2
5416          100000401       9/1/2008 11:00:44 pm                 Mr. A                 2
57381         100000401       27/12/2007 11:37:11 am               Mr. A                 2
57381         100000401       15/1/2008 9:33:12 am                 Mr. A                 2
I want this duplication because I need it when I filter the dataset (using the Ticket_date) with two parameters:
Ticket_date between lower_limit_date and upper_limit_date
So, inside the report, regarding the ticket's number, if I take 2 records with the same ticket_id, I have a calculated field where I use the COUNT_DISTINCT and for each couple of tickets the count is always =1; in this way (inside the report) I have the following fields:
Group_id           Count_tickects   Resource_name
100000401              2                    Mr. A                 This is OK !
Now, if I want to count how many tickets have the status = 2 (it means they are closed), I want to obtain 2 and NOT 4
I tried to use this calculation (Tickets Closed): SUM(CASE WHEN "Tickets Report #7 COMPL".Ticket Status Id = 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
but I always had the result of 4...and this not correct, because the tickets are only 2...
I also tried to use some analytic function using the OVER PARTITION BY, but I didn't obtain the correct result
In other words I'd like to achieve this:
Group_id           Count_tickects   Tickets Closed     Resource_name
100000401              2                     2             Mr.AAny help will be appreciated
Alex

Hi Rod, thanks for the reply,
I tried this calculation
COUNT_DISTINCT(CASE WHEN "Tickets Report #7 COMPL".Incident Status Id = 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
but it retrieves 1; it's right, because the result of the CASE statement is always 2 (the Ticket_status is always 2, 4 times), but this is not what I expect.
I'd like to calculate how many tickets are effectively opened (Ticket_status = 2) and this result is *2*, because I have only 2 ticket_id (5416 and 57381); the problem is that inside the data set these two ticket_id's are repeated two times.
I can't use "Hide Duplicate Rows" because this is only a layout solution (behind I have always the duplication); I can't use more than one aggregate function together because I have the error: Nested aggregate functions are not allowed...
To resolve this problem, I think, I have to restrict the records which are processed by the CASE statement; instead of pass to the calculation all four records (twice the ticket_id 5416 and twice the ticket_id 57381) I have to pass only two records (one the ticket_id 5416 and once the ticket_id 57381).....but how....???

Using a "Sum" Calculated Field on a "Count" query column?

Here's my query using the Query Report Builder:
SELECT Col1, COUNT(Col1) AS Count_Column
FROM Table
GROUP BY Col1
It generates a report that lists all the values of column
"Col1" and how many times each value was used in Col1
For instance, if Col1 contained the value 'A' 12 times, 'B' 6
times, and 'C' 19 times, the report would generate this:
A - 12
B - 6
C - 19
What i need as a column footer is the total count of all the
values, which in this case 12+6+19=37
I am using a calculated field, setting the data type to
Double, the calcuation to Sum, and the perform calculation on to
'query.Count_Column'. Reset Field When is set to None.
When I run the report, it doubles the last number in the
report's Count column (19) and displays 38 on the page. I tested
this with another column and it doubled the last number in the
report as well.
How can I get it to properly Sum my Count_Column?

Hi,
You need to check note 208366.1 which explains why totals can be blank. Without knowing the detail of you decode function it is hard to say what needs to be changed. Try putting a sum in front of the decode e.g.
sum(decode(period, 'Jan period', value, 0))
Hope that helps,

Sum calculated field in report

Hi, I have a report that groups by employee then by machine. In this report I sum several fields, but need to sum a calculated field and can't figure it out. This is the calculation:
<?( QTY_MOVED) div ( TIME +.001 ) div ( INVERSE + .001)?>
This is a total field using a field that works fine.
<?sum(current-group()/QTY_REJ)?>
How do I incorporate the calculation in the <?sum(current-group()/.............I get errors if I just put in the calculation above.
thanks!

Thank you for your help. After taking your advice and getting it to work by messing around with the brackets, management has changed their mind on the calc. Now they want me to use this calculation:
SELECT EMPLOYEE, SUM(QTY_MOVED), SUM(QTY_REJ), SUM(TIME), (nvl([b]sum(QTY_MOVED),0)/nvl(sum(TIME),0))/nvl(sum(INVERSE),0) eff ,'DIRECT'
FROM VW_TIMETRACK
WHERE START_DATE >= :BEGIN
AND START_DATE <= :END
AND WORK_ORDER <> ' '
GROUP BY EMPLOYEE
to get the average. Now the weird thing is, I can get the value in toad, and I can get it to output in raw xml data, but when I try to add the eff field right next to the sum(time) field in the word form, nothing shows up. Absolutely no data. But it is in the xml. I'm using <?sum(current-group()/EFF)?> , just like I am for <?sum(current-group()/TIME)?> . I've made it text, numeric, decimal. Nothing is coming out.

Date VS Date Time in Calculated Field

I have a property for a patients records called Date of Birth. On the table defining it I saved it as a "date" type and It displays only
the date on the screen as I would like. For some reason though when I needed a calculated field in the Medication record I added a property to the patient records table that concatenated two fields BirthDate and the Age. I used the following code and then
added an other screen data item on the medication screen to pull the DoBA property up but got a Date/Time instead of just a Date.
partial void DoBA_Compute(ref string result)
// Set result to the desired field value
result = "DoB:" + BirthDate + " Age:" + Age;
//This is for the property "Date of Birth and Age"
//I also used the following code to calculate "Age"
partial void Age_Compute(ref int result)
// Set result to the desired field value
int age = DateTime.Now.Year - BirthDate.Year;
if (BirthDate > DateTime.Now.AddYears(-age)) age--;
result = age;

I'm using cast instead of Convert.ToInt because the last round to value to upper int if value > 0.5 or to lower if value < 0.5 ( I don't remember now if equal goes to < or > ... read function doc ) while Cast to int do not round the value.
In my code the day of the birthday
still
marks
the
previous
age,
from the
day after
one more year.
by adding
+
1
age

FCPX freezes when attempting to import media

Hello,
I'm having trouble when attempting to import media to FCPX in that it won't even open up the browswer window to select files - it just hangs and I have to force quit. I have the latest version of FCPX and have used this previously without issue. I have tried deleting the programme and downloading a new version and re installing it. I am running a 2010 imac 2.93 i7 with 12 gig of ram. Any ideas as to what I can try to get around this?
Many thanks,
Ben

Hi Russ,
Yes all the latest versions.
Funily enough I had just deleted pref files after viewing another thread - no joy.
All media files are unavailable because it won't let me explore to find any.
I jave just dragged in a file to the timeline and that has imported. I am trying to edit C100 AVCHD files so work around so far is to import to imovie and then export as MP4s and drag into FCPX - not ideal at all but at least I can do some work.
Many thanks,
Ben

Encountering error: "field does not exist, please re-enter" when setting up basic calculation

I created a form in InDesign with many form fields. I would like to be able to have specific form fields generate a sum total in another form field. In acrobat, when I select the form field I wish to have the calcualtion appear in, I select the fields I want to calculate and when I click OK, I am greeted with a pop-up error that the "... field does not exist, please re-enter". I can see that there is a field present when I select "Highlight Existing Fields", I can select it and even fill it in manually. What am I doing wrong?
I attempted to contact Adobe Help chat and they threw up their hands and directed me here. Does it have something to do with the naming convention? I am stumped but I really need to figure this out. Do I need specific script to drop into the field notation box?
Thanks,
In Over My Head

Thank you George.
Keeping the file names simple seems to be helping.
I am now encountering an issue where some field calculations (rouhgly 20 out of 58 different basic calculations) do not compute.They create no sum and remain "zero" despite being created the exact same way as all the other calculations that appear to be working flawlwessly.
I don't understand and it is giving me kittens.

Sum of Calculated Field

Hi,
I am using 9.0.2.39.1 and am having trouble summing up a calculated field. I have a crosstab layout like so:
                       MTD               YTD              CURRENT YR
2005                   $                 $                (decode function based on period)
2004                   $                 $                (decode function based on period)
2003                   $                 $                (decode function based on period)I put a grand total for MTD, YTD and Current YR, but it does not pick up the total sum for the Current Year calculated field. I then also tried a total just for the Current Year field, but it is just blank although that column has values for each row. Strangely the count/max..etc functions give me a value, just not sum. The calculation works perfectly just not the sum of it.
Any idea what I am doing wrong???

Hi,
You need to check note 208366.1 which explains why totals can be blank. Without knowing the detail of you decode function it is hard to say what needs to be changed. Try putting a sum in front of the decode e.g.

Trouble with calculating fields. Can't select (check) fields. Also can't figure out what's wrong with a division field (percent) that I created. Keep getting the pop up that format of the field doesn't allow blah blah blah... Help!

Trouble with calculating fields. Can't select (check) fields. Also can't figure out what's wrong with a division field (percent) that I created. Keep getting the pop up that format of the field doesn't allow blah blah blah... Help!

1. Use the mouse to select the field and then press the space bar.
2. A null string is the same as zero. What is the result for division by zero?

Calculated field hidden when field is blank

This is actually similar to a discussion from a few months ago.Our forms are intended to be filled out online, printed and e-mailed, faxed, or snail-mailed. Many times the customer will simply print out the form and fill it out by hand. When I create forms with calculations the "$" or "0.00" appear; thus making it difficult for someone filling the form out by hand to work around those symbols/numbers. A few months ago, I had a similar situation involving percents and the gurus on this forum (Thank you, gurus!) helped me with the following code and it worked perfectly at hiding the calculated fields unless something was entered in the fields to be calculated.
For a field with a format of "None" user a Custom validation script:
if(event.value == 0) {
event.value = ""; // set field to null;
AFNumber_Format(0, 0, 0, "", "", true); // set format to number 0 decimals, no currency;
} else {
event.value = event.value; // keep value;
AFPercent_Format(2, 0, 0); // set percent format 2 decimal places.
This time, the problem involves simple numbers (not percent, not currency). I used the same logic and the fields actually show/hide like I want, but the numbers need to be formated with a comma separating the thousands and a decimal point with two digits after. I can't figure that out! Can someone please offer some advice? Thanks in advance for your help.

Make sure you are using the correct quotation marks. Use either the double quotation marks or the single quotation marks and not 4 single quotation marks.
if(event.value == 0) {
event.value = ''; // set field to null (2 single quotation marks);
Supress Zero

Problem faced when using calculated field as filter

Iam using an Oracle External Data Source.The external table contains a timestamp field and I add this to my data object.The year,month etc. functions work well on this field and results appear on list views.But when I try to generate a filter for this field and display the view I get errors.
SQLSYNTAXERROREXCEPTION_REPORTSERVER_STREAMINGLIST_INITIALIZE
Exception Message ORA-00904: "MONTH": invalid identifier
So,I tried out with the call center data object found in bam samples.This had a datetime field.Filters on calculated fields work fine here.
Is the former problem due to timestamp datatype or external datasource or anything else?
Thanks,
Raghuram

Answer to following questions will help me narrow down the problem:
1. Which version of BAM are you on - 10g or 11g?
2. What condition are you using in filter i.e. "is equal to", "is less than equal to", "is like"...etc?
3. In which format is the timestamp data being given in the filter? (by format, I mean mm-dd-yy HH:MM:SS etc)
4. Can you give the exact datatype of the DB in which this timestamp data is stored?

Data missing in Crosstab report with calculated field via case when

I use the Oracle 10g discoverer. When I create a crosstab report with a calculate field via function case when and put it as datapoint, some of the data is not showing. I tried to not use the case when function for the calculate field, then all the data show.
I really do not the reason. Could anybody help me out with many thanks?

Let me explain more.
I have the original data below.
Work order, Team, Hours_worked, date
800001, S1, 5, 2012/01/01
800001, S1, 15, 2012/01/10
800001, S2, 4, 2012/01/04
800002, S1, 3, 2012/01/15
There are multipul records for the same work order, team on the same day or different.
Finally I want to set the start date and end date as the parameter to create a crosstab report format like
start date>=2012/01/01 and close date<=2012/01/05
Team
Total hours total hours within the range
Work order S1 S2 ... S1 S2 ...
800001 20 4 5 4
800002 3 0 0 0
in order to do it, I create two parameters independently start date and close date. Then I create a calculate field hours_worked_withinrange via
Case when date>=:start date and date<=:end date then Hours_worked else 0 end
This calculated field is correct in the tabular format report in discoverer desktop. But when I duplicate the list as crosstab. Some data is missing in crosstab data point.
I checked once I change the calculate field defination not use case when. (For example, C1=hours_worked*2). Then everything runs correct.

Virtual keyboard does not open when attempting to type in username or password fields

virtual keyboard does not open when attempting to type in username or password fields. This occurs on multiple websites. HTC Incredible on Verizon network. Current updates on phone. Fennec update dated 9-20-2010. This used to work a couple weeks ago.

Thanks for the report. We're working on fixing this; you can see the current status here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591047
