I want to assign a row number for [Site] after it's filtered based on three simple criteria: whether they have the same [Year], [Identifier], and where the [LeftOrJoined] column is "JOINED".
So I want the [Rank] column below:
[Year] | [Identifier] | [LeftOrJoined] | [Site] | [Rank]
2012 1 LEFT A
2012 1 JOINED B 1
2012 1 JOINED C 2
2013 2 LEFT A
2013 2 JOINED B 1
2013 2 JOINED C 2
The formula I have is:
Rankx(
filter(table,
allexcept(table,
[LeftOrJoined]="JOINED",[Year]=[Year],
[Identifier]=[Identifier])),
[Site], ,1,dense)
But I get the error: The ALLEXCEPT function expects a table reference expression for argument '2', but a string or numeric expression was used.
I feel I'm making a basic mistake. Any help greatly appreciated!
I'm not sure exactly how your formula is supposed to work, but the following works for me:
Rank = IF(Table[LeftOrJoined] <> "JOINED", BLANK(),
RANKX(FILTER(Table, Table[LeftOrJoined] = "JOINED"),
Table[Site], , 1, Dense))
If LeftOrJoined is not "JOINED", then return a blank, otherwise, rank the Site on the rows where LeftOrJoined is equal to "JOINED".

I have a dataset in the following format. Notice InitialDate of July
2022 has 1 corresponding row of RollingDate and Churn, June 2022 has
2 corresponding rows, May has 3 etc etc
Which I'm looking to display the results in a table matrix like this.
The issue I'm finding it is that if I just use RollingDate as the
Columns and Churn as the Values, it looks like this
But what I want is this
Add a Rank column to the table as follows:
Rank =
VAR __InitialDate = 'Table'[InitialDate]
RETURN
RANKX(
FILTER( Table , Table[InitialDate] = __InitialDate ),
Table[RollingDate],
,ASC
)-1
I have a query that gets contract_types 1 to 10. This query is being used in an SSRS report to filter out a larger dataset. I am using -1 for nulls and -2 for all.
I would like to know how we would allow multiple values - does oracle concatenate the inputs together so '1,2,3' would be passed in? Say we get select -1,0,1 in SSRS, how could we alter the bottom query to return values?
My query to get ContractTypes:
SELECT
ContractType,
CASE WHEN ContractType = -2 THEN 'All'
WHEN ContractType = -1 THEN'Null'
ELSE to_Char(ContractType)
END AS DisplayFigure
FROM ContractTypes
which returns
ContractType DisplayFig
-1 Null
0 0
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
10 10
This currently is only returning single values or all, not muliple values:
SELECT *
FROM Employee
WHERE NVL(CONTRACT_TYPE, -1) = :contract_type or :contract_type = -2
I'm assuming we want to do something like:
WHERE NVL(CONTRACT_TYPE, -1) IN (:contract_type)
But this doesn't seem to work.
Data in Employee
Name ContractType
Bob 1
Sue 0
Bill Null
Joe 2
In my report, I want to be able to select contract_type as -1(null),0,1 using the 'allow muliple values' checkbox. At the moment, I can only select either 'all' using my -2 value, or single contract types.
My input would be: contract type = -1,1,2
My output would be Bill, Bob, Joe.
This is how I'm executing my code
I use SSRS with Oracle a lot so I see where you're coming from. Thankfully, they work pretty well together.
First make sure the parameter is set to allow multiple values. This adds a Select All option to your dropdown so you don't have to worry about adding a special case for "All". You'll want to make sure the dataset for the parameter has a row with -1 as the Value and a friendly description for the Label.
Next, the WHERE clause would be just as you mentioned:
WHERE NVL(CONTRACT_TYPE, -1) IN (:contract_type)
SSRS automatically populates the values. There is no XML or string manipulation needed. Keep in mind that this will not work with single-value parameters.
If for some reason this still doesn't work as expected in your environment, there is another workaround you can use which is more universal and works even with ODBC connections.
In the dataset parameter properties, use an expression like this to concatenate the values into a single, comma-separated string:
="," + Join(Parameters!Parameter.Value, ",") + ","
Then use an expression like this in your WHERE clause:
where :parameter like '%,' + Column + ',%'
Obviously, this is less efficient because it most likely won't be using an index, but it works.
I don't know SSRS, but - if I understood you correctly, you'll have to split that comma-separated values list into rows. Something like in this example:
SQL> select *
2 from dept
3 where deptno in (select regexp_substr('&&contract_type', '[^,]+', 1, level)
4 from dual
5 connect by level <= regexp_count('&&contract_type', ',') + 1
6 );
Enter value for contract_type: 10,20,40
DEPTNO DNAME LOC
---------- -------------------- --------------------
20 RESEARCH DALLAS
10 ACCOUNTING NEW YORK
40 OPERATIONS BOSTON
SQL>
Applied to your code:
select *
from employee
where nvl(contract_type, -1) in (select regexp_substr(:contract_type, '[^,]+', 1, level)
from dual
connect by level <= regexp_substr(:contract_type, ',') + 1
)
If you have the comma separated list of numbers and then if you like to split it then, the below seems simple and easy to maintain.
select to_number(column_value) from xmltable(:val);
Inputs: 1,2,3,4
Output:
I guess I understood your problem. If I am correct the below should solve your problem:
with inputs(Name, ContractType) as
(
select 'Bob', 1 from dual union all
select 'Sue', 0 from dual union all
select 'Bill', Null from dual union all
select 'Joe', 2 from dual
)
select *
from inputs
where decode(:ContractType,'-2',-2,nvl(ContractType,-1)) in (select to_number(column_value) from xmltable(:ContractType))
Inputs: -1,1,2
Output:
Inputs: -2
Output:
In SQL there are aggregation operators, like AVG, SUM, COUNT. Why doesn't it have an operator for multiplication? "MUL" or something.
I was wondering, does it exist for Oracle, MSSQL, MySQL ? If not is there a workaround that would give this behaviour?
By MUL do you mean progressive multiplication of values?
Even with 100 rows of some small size (say 10s), your MUL(column) is going to overflow any data type! With such a high probability of mis/ab-use, and very limited scope for use, it does not need to be a SQL Standard. As others have shown there are mathematical ways of working it out, just as there are many many ways to do tricky calculations in SQL just using standard (and common-use) methods.
Sample data:
Column
1
2
4
8
COUNT : 4 items (1 for each non-null)
SUM : 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15
AVG : 3.75 (SUM/COUNT)
MUL : 1 x 2 x 4 x 8 ? ( =64 )
For completeness, the Oracle, MSSQL, MySQL core implementations *
Oracle : EXP(SUM(LN(column))) or POWER(N,SUM(LOG(column, N)))
MSSQL : EXP(SUM(LOG(column))) or POWER(N,SUM(LOG(column)/LOG(N)))
MySQL : EXP(SUM(LOG(column))) or POW(N,SUM(LOG(N,column)))
Care when using EXP/LOG in SQL Server, watch the return type http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187592.aspx
The POWER form allows for larger numbers (using bases larger than Euler's number), and in cases where the result grows too large to turn it back using POWER, you can return just the logarithmic value and calculate the actual number outside of the SQL query
* LOG(0) and LOG(-ve) are undefined. The below shows only how to handle this in SQL Server. Equivalents can be found for the other SQL flavours, using the same concept
create table MUL(data int)
insert MUL select 1 yourColumn union all
select 2 union all
select 4 union all
select 8 union all
select -2 union all
select 0
select CASE WHEN MIN(abs(data)) = 0 then 0 ELSE
EXP(SUM(Log(abs(nullif(data,0))))) -- the base mathematics
* round(0.5-count(nullif(sign(sign(data)+0.5),1))%2,0) -- pairs up negatives
END
from MUL
Ingredients:
taking the abs() of data, if the min is 0, multiplying by whatever else is futile, the result is 0
When data is 0, NULLIF converts it to null. The abs(), log() both return null, causing it to be precluded from sum()
If data is not 0, abs allows us to multiple a negative number using the LOG method - we will keep track of the negativity elsewhere
Working out the final sign
sign(data) returns 1 for >0, 0 for 0 and -1 for <0.
We add another 0.5 and take the sign() again, so we have now classified 0 and 1 both as 1, and only -1 as -1.
again use NULLIF to remove from COUNT() the 1's, since we only need to count up the negatives.
% 2 against the count() of negative numbers returns either
--> 1 if there is an odd number of negative numbers
--> 0 if there is an even number of negative numbers
more mathematical tricks: we take 1 or 0 off 0.5, so that the above becomes
--> (0.5-1=-0.5=>round to -1) if there is an odd number of negative numbers
--> (0.5-0= 0.5=>round to 1) if there is an even number of negative numbers
we multiple this final 1/-1 against the SUM-PRODUCT value for the real result
No, but you can use Mathematics :)
if yourColumn is always bigger than zero:
select EXP(SUM(LOG(yourColumn))) As ColumnProduct from yourTable
I see an Oracle answer is still missing, so here it is:
SQL> with yourTable as
2 ( select 1 yourColumn from dual union all
3 select 2 from dual union all
4 select 4 from dual union all
5 select 8 from dual
6 )
7 select EXP(SUM(LN(yourColumn))) As ColumnProduct from yourTable
8 /
COLUMNPRODUCT
-------------
64
1 row selected.

With PostgreSQL, you can create your own aggregate functions, see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-createaggregate.html
To create an aggregate function on MySQL, you'll need to build an .so (linux) or .dll (windows) file. An example is shown here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/mygroupconcat.aspx
I'm not sure about mssql and oracle, but i bet they have options to create custom aggregates as well.
You'll break any datatype fairly quickly as numbers mount up.
Using LOG/EXP is tricky because of numbers <= 0 that will fail when using LOG. I wrote a solution in this question that deals with this
Using CTE in MS SQL:
CREATE TABLE Foo(Id int, Val int)
INSERT INTO Foo VALUES(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5), (5, 6)
;WITH cte AS
(
SELECT Id, Val AS Multiply, row_number() over (order by Id) as rn
FROM Foo
WHERE Id=1
UNION ALL
SELECT ff.Id, cte.multiply*ff.Val as multiply, ff.rn FROM
(SELECT f.Id, f.Val, (row_number() over (order by f.Id)) as rn
FROM Foo f) ff
INNER JOIN cte
ON ff.rn -1= cte.rn
)
SELECT * FROM cte
Not sure about Oracle or sql-server, but in MySQL you can just use * like you normally would.
mysql> select count(id), count(id)*10 from tablename;
+-----------+--------------+
| count(id) | count(id)*10 |
+-----------+--------------+
| 961 | 9610 |
+-----------+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
I have the following situation:
column 1 column 2 column 3
A 1 1
A 1 2
B 3 4
B 3 5
I need to color my letters when the value in column 2 never occurs in column 3. But I need to color all my letters. Does anyone know how to write a case statement for this?
So I'll explain my example: I dont't need to color the letter A because there is a match between column 2 and 3 and the first row.
I do need to color my B's because there is never a match between columns 2 and 3.
I already tried this:
count(distinct(case when "Column 2" != "Column 3" then 1 else 0 end))
but this gives a result for each row and I need a result for the total package.
Thanks!
You can approach this as following:
Create a logical column on your analysis that does a case statement that returns 1 or 0 depending if the values of column2 and column3 are the same (pretty much like the case-when that you provided on your answer but without the count distinct).
Wrap that case statement with a MAX grouped by your column1. This will give you either a consistent 1 or 0 across all your different values of column1. You can use this value for your conditional formatting. The key here is to use the aggregated function with the group by.
You have here some oracle documentation on how to use the logical SQL group by.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
=Switch(Fields!RptSeq.Value="1",Fields!PatientId.Value,
Fields!RptSeq.Value="2",Fields!RxNumber.Value,Fields!PatientId.Value
Fields!RptSeq.Value="5",Fields!DoctorName.Value,Fields!PatientId.Value,
1=1,Fields!PatientId.Value)
I need to sort my report thrugh expression like this, if the sort seq is 1 then by patient ID, if 2 then the report should be first sorted by RxNumber then by PatientID. I don't know how to sort for 2 field values.
if I do Fields!RxNumber.Value,Fields!PatientId.Value the sort does not work, if I do Fields!RxNumber.Value+Fields!PatientId.Value I'm getting error wrong sort expression.
appreciate your help
Thanks in advance.
you can add two lines in the sorting tab of the tablix; one for the first sort priority with this expression:
=Switch(Fields!RptSeq.Value="1",Fields!PatientId.Value,
Fields!RptSeq.Value="2",Fields!RxNumber.Value,
Fields!RptSeq.Value="5",Fields!DoctorName.Value,
1=1,Fields!PatientId.Value)
and the other for the second sort priority set the field to :
Fields!PatientId.Value
You can handle it by passing the parameter to the Dataset query also.
Sample:
declare #RptSeq int = 1
select * from Table
order by
(case #RptSeq when 1 then PatientId
when 2 then RxNumber
when 5 then DoctorName
else PatientId
end),
(case #RptSeq when 2 then PatientId
when 5 then PatientId
end)
