Use If then else statement to display concatenated values

Hi,
I am trying to create a field which will display 2 different names depending on the status of another field.
Here is the code I have but it returns no data when I try it:
<?xdofx:if ReportStatus='Approved' then concatenate(DisplayFirstName, DisplayLastName) else concatenate(InvFirstName, InvLastName) end if?>
(Also I need to solve how to create a space between the first and last names)
Any help would be appreciated thanks

Use the following.
<?choose:?>
<?when:ReportStatus='Approved' ?>
<?DisplayFirstName?> aspace <?DisplayLastName?> or <?concat(DisplayFirstName,' ', DisplayLastName)?>
<?end when?>
<?otherwise:?>
<? InvFirstName?> a space <? InvLastName?> or <?concat(InvFirstName,' ', InvLastName)?>
<?end otherwise?>
<?end choose?>

Access 2010 - If Then Else Statement to display text within text box upon Check Box True/False condition

I have a form called myForm. On this form is a check box called myCheckBox. I also have a text box labeled myTextBox. I have assigned a macro, myMacro, to run upon selection/click of myCheckBox. The macro is an If statement which determines if myCheckBox
is checked or not checked and spits out a value, "Yes" or "No" for example, into the text box.
I am not able to get text to display into the text box although I am not receiving any errors when I run the macro. This may be a fault in my logic and would like help resolving where the problem lies. I am fairly new to Access so this could be something
simple.
My code is as follows:
If Forms!myForm = True Then
Forms!myForm!myTextBox.Value = "Yes!"
ElseIf Forms!myForm = False Then
Forms!myForm!myTextBox.Value = "No!"
Else
Forms!myForm!myTextBox.Value = " / ERROR / "
End if
Thanks!

Charactersitic values to be used in IFTHEN ELSE STATEMENT IN QUERY

scenario: i need to use the characteristic values(not the attributes) to be used in an IF THEN ELSE STATEMENT in query. so i created a formula variable for the characteritic of processing type replacement path, replace with key.The values are not fetched in the result and is displayed as X.
what should i replace with key,lable, constant or other options whereas my requirement is the all the values present in the characteristc should be used.
eg. if char name is xyz and has the values 1,2,3,4,5 till -
20.
then in a calculated key figure :(formulavariable =1)* kefig1keyfig2 +not(formulavariable =1)kef2keyfig3.
this formula variable should have all the values of the characteristic values ie 1,2,3---20.
2. how should i do get the values of characterstics values in the equation give me the steps in detail..
3. i do not want to use the attributes, though i tried initally while creating the formual variable i replaced with attribute value, there is was an error and there were no reult.
i tried to create char. variable for the characteristic of manual entr , not ready for input values and gave all the values 1,2,3 --20 as default values and then created formaul variable and repalce with the variable, however this characteristic variable is not at all displayed from the list of variables which will be displayed while creating the formula variable.
help me out.
Thanks

hi srini,
i have includedthe char in rows. i want you to explain in detail how to use these values in the if then else statement in query.
i have created a calculated key figure 2= (formual variable =1 & keyfig a =0)* keyfig1kefig2 +not(formual variable =1 & keyfig a =0)keyfig2 *calculated keyfig1.
so this formula variable of replacement path have ref. to then char. and with what value should it replace, key, name, external char or attribut etc so that i should get the values of the char from 1 to20.
i donot to repalce with the attribute. i just want the char. values and not thier attributes (1. description 2. the second attribute has the values say abc1,efg2,ghi3 for respective charteristic values.
ie
char value               desc                 2nd attrib
1                            hi                     abc1
2                            bye                  defg2
3                            ciao                  ghi3

Usage of exists in if-then-else statements

please correct the mistakes in this procedure regarding exists in the use of if then else statement .as i am new to oracle i am unable to do it.
errors are statement ignored
exists should be inside the statement;
CREATE or replace FUNCTION CHECK_FG_Id
p_LegacyDocumentId VARCHAR2,
p_LegacyFGroupId VARCHAR2,
p_TransmissionId INTEGER
RETURN INTEGER as
BEGIN
IF EXISTS
(Select FG.ControlNo from functionalgroup FG,document D
WHERE FG.DocumentId=D.Id AND D.TransmissionId=p_TransmissionId
AND FG.ControlNo=p_LegacyFGroupId AND D.ControlNo=p_LegacyDocumentId ) THEN
Return 1;
ELSE
Return 0;
END IF;
end;

Lots of different ways...One way is as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION check_fg_id (
p_legacydocumentid VARCHAR2,
p_legacyfgroupid VARCHAR2,
p_transmissionid INTEGER) RETURN INTEGER AS
vDoesItExist NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT (1)
INTO vdoesitexist
FROM functionalgroup fg,
document d
WHERE fg.documentid = d.ID
AND d.transmissionid = p_transmissionid
AND fg.controlno = p_legacyfgroupid
AND d.controlno = p_legacydocumentid;
IF vDoesItExist > 0 THEN
RETURN 1;
ELSE
RETURN 0;
END IF; /** vDoesItExist > 0 **/
END check_fg_id;

How can I use an IF ELSE statement and the xdoxslt: get_variable together?

First of all, I'm a big fan of this forum and I just want to thank the community for helping make the BI Publisher world a better place.
I'm trying to populate a table with a years worth of data with the column=PRODUCT and row=month of DATE. Here's the catch, not all of the months will have data. So here's where my problem is, I'm not able to use an IF ELSE statement along with a XDOXSLT:GET_VARIABLE expression so that if there's no data for that month the default value will be 0.
Can someone help me find a solution to either one of the attempts below or a completely new method? Thanks!
BP4 = numeric month value using DATE (more code to pull only month from DATE not included here)
JAN1 = PRICE if data exists, else 0
1) I tried this and it didn't work:
<?if: xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'BP4'),01 then xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'JAN1',PRICE) else xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'JAN1',0) end if?>
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'JAN1')?>
<?end if?>
2) I tried this and it didn't work:
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'BP4')='01',xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'JAN1',PRICE),xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'JAN1',0))?>
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'JAN1')?>
<?end if?>
3) I tried this and it didn't work:
<?xdofx:if xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'BP4')='01' then xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'JAN1',PRICE) else xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'JAN1',0) end if?>
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'JAN1')?>
<?end if?>
sample XML:
<ROW>
<Name>Craig Hernandez</NAME>

<PRICE>31</PRICE>
<PRODUCT>BPD</PRODUCT>
</ROW>

Edited by: 990965 on Feb 28, 2013 8:27 AM

let me clarify my logic, the template 1) searches for the relevant PRODUCT (in the case below, it searches for BPD which is the column in the table) 2) searches for the relevant month in DATE (which is the row in the table) 3) if data exists, get PRICE else default to 0
Variable definitions:
BP4 = numeric month value from DATE (more code to get this value not included here, but it works...)
JAN1 = set to PRICE if data exists for that month, else 0
the query is only pulling all of the existing data, so if there's no data for March then there wouldn't be a March entry in the xml. In the sample xml below, we only have data for the first two months (Jan, Feb) so that's the only data in the xml. I can't check if PRICE is null because the xml will not have any data for March.
I've read through other threads and it seems that BI Publisher can't use an IF THEN ELSE with the XDOXSLT:GET_VARIABLE. I sent the template and xml to you.
Sample XML:
<ROW>
<Name>Craig Hernandez</NAME>
<DATE>2013-01-01T00:00:00.000+08:00</DATE>
<PRICE>31</PRICE>

Inserting a 'null' value in an IF THEN ELSE statement

Greetings,
I'm using Business Object webi XiR3
I'd like to return a 'null' value in certain cases for an IF THEN ELSE statement. Depending on if I format the field as a text or a number, I can return blanks ("") and zeros (0). However, what I really need to do is leave the field / column formatted as a number and return a 'null' value. You can see the variable below ... this will return a blank but the column is text.
Suggestions?
thanks.
variable:
=If([Comp Rate Mid] = 0 And( ([Market Rate 50th].085) - [Annual Total Targeted Comp] >=0) ; ([Market Rate 50th]0.85) - [Annual Total Targeted Comp]; If([Comp Rate Mid] <> 0 And( ([Comp Rate Mid] 0.85) - [Annual Total Targeted Comp] >=0) ; ([Comp Rate Mid]0.85) - [Annual Total Targeted Comp];""))

I don't think this is possible using a formula, as formulas deal with content, and images can be placed in cells only as 'image fill', which is Format, rather than Content.
Might be possible using an AppleScript, but I'm not the person to advise you on that.

Java If/Then/Else Statement

Hello,
Just wondering if it is possible to call one java file from within another.
I'm thining wiht an if.then/else statement similar to
If x==true
then run file1.java
else run file2.java
any examples of this, or if it is even possible would be appreciated.

This is something like what I would do.
public class FileRunner {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        if ( args[0].equals("file1") {
            File1 file1 = new File1();
            file1.init() //method you define in File1 that runs everything that would've been in the File1's main method
        } else if (args[0].equals("file2") {
            File2 file2 = new File2();
            file2.init() //method you define in file2 that runs everything that would've been in the File2's main method
        } else {
            System.err.println("Invalid argument");
            System.exit(1);
java.exe FileRunner.class file1
java.exe FileRunner.class file2The other method is to start a new jvm from within java, but that gives you less control than this imo.

How to use if-then-else-end if in template building?

hi,
I am not able to use the "if-then-else-end if" in my template. I want to display a data based on a condition. My requirement is as follows:
if bal_for_vd < 0 then
bal_for_vd * no_of_days
else 0
end if
I tried using
1.<?if: BAL_FOR_VD < 0 then BAL_FOR_VD*NO_OF_DAYS else 0 end if?>
2.<?xdofx:if BAL_FOR_VD < 0 then BAL_FOR_VD * NO_OF_DAYS end if?>
3.<?choose:?>
<?when:BAL_FOR_VD < 0?> <?BAL_FOR_VD * NO_OF_DAYS ?>
<?end when?>
<?otherwise?>0
<?end otherwise?>
<?end choose?>
4.<?if:BAL_FOR_VD < 0?><?BAL_FOR_VD*NO_OF_DAYS?><end if?>
but ended up getting errors or nothing is getting displayed.
When i used <?BAL_FOR_VD * NO_OF_DAYS ?> alone its working fine and correct getting result. But on giving condition its erring out.
I will be glad if i get some solution for this.
Regards,
Vishnu T Ramakrishnan

Hi..
Below syntax should work..I tried with a sample xml..
<?xdofx:if BAL_FOR_VD < 0 then BAL_FOR_VD * NO_OF_DAYS

Help using multiple if else statements & manual dynamic xml data input to trigger a goto and play.

Below is code that has a timer countdown that reads off of the computer. Below in bold is code to read "if it reaches the date, go to and play frame (2).
timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime);
timer.stop();
gotoAndPlay(2);
Below is code that is manual input-   I had set up a dynamic txt field in flash named it : raffle_tix_remain When loaded on to the host I can manulally update the xml code and the change will take effect.
raffle_tix_remain.text = root.loaderInfo.parameters.raffle_tix_remain;
My question: Since the raffle_tix_remain is a manual input from a user to xml Is there a way to tell flash once it refreshes and "raffle_ tix_ remain" goes to (0) zero gotoAndPlay(2); and let it play like a "sold out" sign
i guess that would be a if else statement.
Code Below-----------------
stop();
var year:Number = 2011;
var month:Number = 12;
var day:Number = 30;
var finalDate:Date = new Date(year,month-1,day);

[BIP Report] Could I use 'like' syntax inside if-then-else statement?

I have the following contents in my xml, I would like to show the amount of the ChargeAmount, only if the "Code" is starting from "WAF"in my table.

In the ChargeAmount column I tried the following syntax, however, both of them does not work well.
<?if: <xdoxslt:left(Code, 3)> = 'WAF' ?> then ChargeAmount else ' ' ?end if?>
<?xdofx if: Code = 'WAF?' ?> then ChargeAmount else ' ' ?end if?>
Could any expert provide work around for the above case?
Thanks!

<?if: <xdoxslt:left(Code, 3)> = 'WAF' ?> then ChargeAmount else ' ' ?end if?>
<?xdofx if: Code = 'WAF?' ?> then ChargeAmount else ' ' ?end if?>
incorrect code will not work
not clear what do you want to do but try
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(xdoxslt:left(Code,3)='WAF',’yes’,’no’)?>
or
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(contains(Code, 'WAF'),’yes’,’no’)?>

IF THEN ELSE STATEMENT IN BeX Query designer

Hi,
I want to write a query as follows:
IF <Value a> is available THEN <Value a> ELSE <Value b>
I have written it as follows:
(X>0)X+(X<=0)Y
The problem with this equation is, in case X = 0(number Zero) then Y is not getting displayed. But In case X =NULL (or no values) then Y displayed. This is leading to inconsistency in final result. Please help in rectifying the formula incase it is incorrect or is it because of some program bug in BeX?
Regards
Madhav

This works for me...dont understand y its not working with u!!
it is simple:
(X<>0)X+(X==0)Y
If X is 0, then 0X + 1Y = Y
else
1X + 0Y = X.
What result you are getting in both cases?
as you thing,X value is may not be 0 in your case. It may be 0.00004...something like that...Set Decimal Places to 5 or 6 to X.

Thanks Tim,
That worked. Got rid of my error. However, if the field is null (=''), I get a total.
11.05 + 1429.70 = 1440.75
If the not null (!='') I am not getting a total.
103.74 + 173.13 =

A PL/SQL Function Body computation has to return a value rather than assigning it to an item in the PL/SQL block (APEX turns the block into the body of a function). The item for which the value is to be computed is specified in the computation properties (P3_AGING_BUCKET).
begin
