Wildcard value in case statement

Hi,
How would I use a wildcard value in my case statement. I evaluate a string value of numbers and try to do this "1234***" but it doesn't work. "***" represents any 3 number.
Please advise.
Thanks
dphan128

You could mark one of the cases as "Default", and that case will execute when no others match. If you want to explicitly run that case only if the first 4 numbers are "1234", then you need to pre-process the string.
See here for the same exact question.

Using Field/Column Date Value In Case Statement

I have code that the first part works (the part that evaluates null). However, it appears the second part doesn't work. The error I get is:
Data Value out of range
Can you use the a table column value in a Case statement? What I'm trying to do is: where all mbr06..values are 12/31/9999, then null; if mbr06.. values are equal to or less than today's date, then put the value in mbr02.mbr02_cancel_proc_date..
Note, the table MBR02 does have dates that go back as far as 11/17/1858..could that be an issue?
Thanks for any assistance..
            cast((case
            when mbr06.mbr06_exp_date = to_date('31-dec-9999') then null
            when mbr06.mbr06_exp_date <= sysdate then mbr02.mbr02_cancel_proc_date

The error is due to the CAST, not to the CASE.
Cause: Value from cast operand is larger than cast target size.Post at least the whole cast ...

Navigate Value Interaction - Case Statements

Hi,
I am having problems using the navigate value interaction feature in OBIEE. The columns I am using to navigate contain case statement bin filters, is it not possible to use value interaction on these type of fields?
For example bin grouping are created in both reports and are identical but the interaction does not work
. TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH,CURR... is between 0 and 6
. TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH,CURR... is between 7 and 12
Can anyone advise a workaround other than creating the column in the rpd.
Thanks

Evaluation of condition clause in whehe clause using case statement

Hi,
I have a scenario where in I have to evaluate two different conditions based on the parameter value. Is it possible to evaluate the conditiond based on the parameter value with case statement in where clause.
Example:
select A,B,C,D from X,Y,Z
where
cond1 and
cond2 and
case when param='T' then cond3 else cond4 end
Here param is an external parameter passed to the query.
cond3 is something like Y.deptno in(10,30,50,70)
cond4 is something like Y.deptno in (20,40,60,70,80,90)
Your responce will be appriciated.
Regards,
Varma

You can place the case statement as a condition, however it depends what context you want it in, for example;
this will work:
1* select 1 from dual where (case when 1=1 then 1 end) = 1 and 2=2
QL> /
1
1but this will not;
SQL> select 1 from dual where case when 1=1 then 1 end and 2=2;
select 1 from dual where case when 1=1 then 1 end and 2=2
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00920: invalid relational operatorSo, if you're expecting the condition to evaluate to a true/false, so if you mean soemthing like
when TRUE, then it won't work!

CASE Statement in Where Condition with Multi Valued parameter in SSRS

Hi All,
I am little confused while using CASE statement in Where condition in SSRS. Below is my scenario:
SELECT
Logic here
WHERE
Date IN (@Date)AND
(CASE
WHEN NAME LIKE 'ABC%' THEN 'GROUP1'
WHEN ID IN ('123456', '823423','74233784') THEN 'GROUP2'
WHEN ABC_ID IS NULL THEN 'GROUP3'
ELSE 'GROUP4'
END ) IN (@GROUP)
So above query uses WHERE condition with CASE statement from @GROUP parameter. I want to pass this parameter as multi- valued parameter and hence I have used CASE statement IN (@GROUP).
For @Date one dataset will pass the available and default values and
for @GROUP parameters, another dataset will pass the available and default values.
But this is not working as expected. Please suggest me where I am making mistake in the query.
Maruthu | http://sharepoint-works.blogspot.com

Hi Maruthu,
According to your description, I create a sample report in my local environment. It works as I expected. In your scenario, if the selected values from the Date parameter contains some of the Date field values, the selected values from the GROUP parameter
contains some of GROUPS (‘GROUP1’,’GROUP2’,’GROUP3’,’GROUP4’) and the corresponding when statement is executed , then the dataset returns the corresponding values.
In order to trouble shoot this issue, could you tell us what results are you get and what’s your desired results? If possible, you can post the sample data with sample dataset, then we can make further analysis and help you out.

Problem to identify values in a case statement.

Hi Friends,
Total number of records in my report should be divided by 5 and to be alloted into 5 grades in Grade column.
This is what I have done so far in my report with following layout.
S.No - Col A - Col B - Col C - Grade ( Colums A,B,C will be hidden in Report)
*****Column C will have only 5 values at max ( 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8).The below example is for 6 records in a report.The same will be applied for 7,8,9,10 records.
In column A: MAX(cast(RCOUNT(1) AS DOUBLE))/5 ( Ex : 6/5 = 1.2)
In Column B: Truncate(MAX(cast (RCOUNT(1) as double)/5), 0) ( Ex : 6/5 = 1.0)
In Column C: Col A- Col B ( EX:1.2 - 1.0 =0.2)
(MAX(cast(RCOUNT(1) AS DOUBLE))/5 - Truncate(MAX(cast (RCOUNT(1) as double)/5), 0))
Now In Grade coulum I want to use this column C to Grade the records with case statements in it.
I am trying to use the following case statement for Grade Coulmn
Case
when (MAX(cast(RCOUNT(1) AS DOUBLE))/5 - Truncate(MAX(cast (RCOUNT(1) as double)/5), 0)) = 0.0 then .........
when (MAX(cast(RCOUNT(1) AS DOUBLE))/5 - Truncate(MAX(cast (RCOUNT(1) as double)/5), 0)) = 0.2 then .............
when (MAX(cast(RCOUNT(1) AS DOUBLE))/5 - Truncate(MAX(cast (RCOUNT(1) as double)/5), 0)) = 0.4 then .............
when (MAX(cast(RCOUNT(1) AS DOUBLE))/5 - Truncate(MAX(cast (RCOUNT(1) as double)/5), 0)) = 0.6 then ........
when (MAX(cast(RCOUNT(1) AS DOUBLE))/5 - Truncate(MAX(cast (RCOUNT(1) as double)/5), 0)) = 0.8 then .....
end
Case statement works gud for 0.0 but not for other 4 values.
It is unable to identify other 4values.
Please tell me, how can I make case statement work for all values in above scenario.
Thanks in Advance,
Varsha.
Edited by: Varsha on Nov 28, 2010 6:23 PM

In column A: MAX(cast(RCOUNT(1) AS DOUBLE))/5 ( Ex : 6/5 = 1.2)
In Column B: Truncate(MAX(cast (RCOUNT(1) as double)/5), 0) ( Ex : 6/5 = 1.0)
In Column C: Col A- Col B ( EX:1.2 - 1.0 =0.2)
(MAX(cast(RCOUNT(1) AS DOUBLE))/5 - Truncate(MAX(cast (RCOUNT(1) as double)/5), 0))Change the formula a bit by adding the by dim value for the MAX column.
Column A: MAX(cast(RCOUNT(1) AS DOUBLE) by DimTable.Column)/5
Column B: Truncate(MAX(cast (RCOUNT(1) as double) by DimTable.Column)/5, 0)
Column C: MAX(cast(RCOUNT(1) AS DOUBLE) by DimTable.Column)/5 - Truncate(MAX(cast (RCOUNT(1) as double) by DimTable.Column)/5, 0)
now write a case statement on top column c, based on your logic every 5th record will have a value 0.0
Note: Dimtable.column is the table.column for which the row count is taken.
Thanks,
Vino

Print out a column value only if another column has a specific value (CASE Statement)

Hello all,
I tried many hours to find a solution for the following request but wasn't successful. Maybe you could help me.
I've using the already existing SQL Views in Microsoft Service Manager to do some basic reporting about my tickets.There is no closed date in the activity tickets so I decided to print out the lastmodified timestamp when the status is "closed".
That's my query:
SELECT DISTINCT
dbo.DisplayStringView.DisplayName AS Status,
CASE WHEN dbo.DisplayStringView.DisplayName = 'Closed' THEN dbo.DisplayStringView.LastModified ELSE 'NO CLOSED Date' END AS ClosedDate
FROM dbo.MTV_System$WorkItem$Activity$ManualActivity LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.DisplayStringView ON dbo.MTV_System$WorkItem$Activity$ManualActivity.Status_8895EC8D_2CBF_0D9D_E8EC_524DEFA00014 = dbo.DisplayStringView.LTStringId
Unfortunatelly I'm not getting the value from dbo.DisplayStringView.LastModified. SQL outputs that it is not possible to convert the string to date/time.
I think there is a problem with the CASE statement in combination with a value select.
Any ideas how to print out a column value only if another column has a specific value?

I think it is the other way if you want the missing date shown as a string.
CASE
WHEN
dbo.DisplayStringView.DisplayName
=
'Closed'
THEN
Convert( varchar(10),dbo.DisplayStringView.LastModified
, 101) ELSE
'NO CLOSED Date'
END
AS
ClosedDate

Handling Exceptions with case statement - convert Exception to int value

Hi,
I'm developing a web app, with servlets.
I'm catching Exceptions in my servlets, for example I would like a user to insert data into a form. If the data cannot be converted into a integer value a java.lang.NumberormatException is thrown.
I would like to catch this and then create a message giving a more specific clue to what happened. Unfortunatly it's possible that other exceptions could be caught, so I want to be able to check which type of Exception has been caught.
I started writing a getErrorMessage(int Code) class. The method has a case statement which just checks the code and return the appropriate message.
This worked well for SQL exceptions as they provide a getErrorCode method. But I was wondering is there any way to convert other Exceptions such as
java.lang.NumberormatException into an integer value?
Cheers

Exceptions have their types (classes) and messages (and maybe an embedded exception). That is, they have much richer internal status then an integer.
Why should they be "converted" to integers?

Assigning value inside a case statement

Hi friends
iam using the below code and can any one tell me why even after assigning the value in the case statement it coming out of it.
code
   data :
      p1(1) type n.
      case p1.
        when '0'.
          write 'sunday'.
        p1 = 1.
        when '1'.
          write 'monday'.
         p1 = 2.
        when others.
          write 'invalid day'.
     endcase.
output.
   sunday
can any one tell me why it is coming out of the case statement even iam assigning p1 = 1

This is happening b'cause u have already in the when clause where u r setting the value of the variable that is controlling ur case..endcase statement.To meet ur requirement u need to trigger the case..endcase statement again as shown below:
data :
p1(1) type n.
do 3 times.
case p1.
when '0'.
write 'sunday'.
p1 = 1.
when '1'.
write 'monday'.
p1 = 2.
when others.
write 'invalid day'.
endcase.
enddo.

How do I write a case statement If I want a case for x < 1.5; a case for 1.5 <= x <= 3.7; case for 3.7 < x < 7.2.....etc. My input is a floating number.
Thank you.

Nice method with the Threshold function. I was not aware of the limitation with -Inf. Odd.
Actually, my code operates correctly as long as the first element is smaller than all other elements in the array. We don't need any special handling.
Maybe NaN is not a bug if the array starts with -Inf, because the interpolated index for any number between the second element and -inf will be infinitely close to 1, thus a result of zero can never be obtained (try a first element of -1e50 and you'll always get 1 unless you go to very huge negative numbers).
The way threshold array is defined, the behavior should be obvious, the problem is assigning a fractional index.
It is unexpected that an input equal to the second element also results in NaN. That might be a bug. (see image).
I probably won't post an idea, maybe a bug report after some more thinking...

Case statement

hi.
i have a case statement query. i wonder if in the select statement, can i do computation using different parameter from the main report to subreport?
for example, (qty * parameter)
if parameter = 0, i uses $P{abc} to multiply qty
if parameter > 0, i uses $P{xyz} to multiply qty
in this case, i've writen a sql (as below) but its does not execute.
select ....., (QTY *
case $P{QTY}
when 0 then ' * $P{abc}'
else ' $P{xyz}'
end
from....
hence, what should i do in order to get the right parameter to multiply with? pls guide. thanks.

I'm not sure about these parameter placeholders which are specific to whatever report tool you are using, but the structure would be (assuming the parameter value would never be less than zero):
qty * case when $P{QTY} = 0 then $P{abc} else $P{xyz} end

Case Statement in Answers Filter

Hi,
I'm trying to build a query in Answers that filters the data returned based on the current month number. If the current month is 1 then we want to show all 12 months, otherwise we want to show months less than the current month. If I use the following:
CASE WHEN extract(month from current_date) = 1 THEN "Calculated Values Monthly"."MONTH" >= 1 ELSE "Calculated Values Monthly"."MONTH" < extract (month from current_date) END
I get the error below. All works fine until I add the CASE.
Error Codes: YQCO4T56:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

Can you use a case statement in a filter? If not, what are the other options, if any?
Thx

ThxAccording to your requirements, when the month is January, you want all 12 months; any other number and you want months from 1 to "1 less than the current month number." Yes? Okay, here's what to do:
In the filter on your date column, click on the filter button, convert it to SQL and enter this:
MONTH(tablename.date_column) BETWEEN 1 AND CASE WHEN MONTH(CURRENT_DATE) = 1 THEN 12 ELSE MONTH(CURRENT_DATE)-1 END
Here's the logic:
a) When the current month is January, then the case statement will yield 12 and the filter will be:
WHERE MONTH(tablename.date_column) BETWEEN 1 AND 12 ...or all 12 months.
b) When the current month is any other month, say June, then the case statement will yield one less than the what the month number is, or in this case 5.
WHERE MONTH(tablename.date_column BETWEEN 1 AND 5 ...or all the months from 1 to 5 (Jan through May)
This will give you what you want...
