In my table I have essentially 2 columns (many more but there is an obvious left side and right side). One of the fields, FIELD1, on the left side comes from a LookupSet() and each ID can have two items from FIELD1. Using a join(lookupset(), vbcrlf) I am able to get both values for the ID and put it into one cell in the table. This works but with the vbcrlf, the row height is increased. This causes a problem because there is data on the right side which cannot have additional space between it.
I did a split(join(lookupset())).getValue(0) for the first row and then the row below it for value 1. With some iif statements to check errors etc, this works.
One problem I solved is that the values for FIELD1 can be longer than the width of the cell, but will not take up more than two. I was able to do some substring magic in oracle like:
SELECT ID, SUBSTR(FIELD1, 1, 70) FROM....
UNION
SELECT ID, SUBSTR(FIELD1, 70) FROM ...
using sorting, I am able to get up to 4 rows of data per ID which I will be able to split the lookupset and get each value into the table.
My last problem, and hopefully someone can help with is that when I ge the substring, It can cut off words and the next row will start with the rest of the word.
Is there a way, possibly using a regex to make sure to keep words in tact, but also to ensure that the total length returned is < some number of characters? I am happy to abandon any part of the approach i am currently taking if I am off track.
I was able to solve this (with some help) by using
SUBSTR(FIELD1,1, regexp_instr(FIELD1, '[ ]', 70))
SELECT ID, SUBSTR(FIELD1,1, regexp_instr(FIELD1, '[ ]', 70)) FROM....
UNION
SELECT ID, SUBSTR(FIELD1, regexp_instr(FIELD1, '[ ]', 70)) FROM ...

I have set up two tabs on the on Google Sheets document. In Tab1 I have ColumnA (days of the week) and ColumnB (employees). I have created Named Ranges for both of these. In Tab2, I want to find all the employees from ColumnB that match the value 'Monday' within Tab1 ColumnA and return the value of ColumnB of the same row. Ideally, I would like all matching values to be listed in the one cell.
I have gotten as far as
=IF('Tab1'!A:A="Monday","value(Tab1'!B:B)","")
Which is returning the false/blank value correctly.
When the value 'Monday' from Tab1 actually does match, it returns #VALUE! and not the actual value from ColumnB. I think this is because I'm not specifying that it's a text value, not a number, but I'm not certain how to do so. Lastly, the values returns, including the blank ones, are on individual rows corresponding to where they are on Tab1 which again, I'm not sure how to correct.
Find the sheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TzFCz15-B0XAVkc2j4aQPx6yjTGmzguTqdxLKsQ65Y8/edit?usp=sharing
If anyone can guide me to the solution I would be very grateful.
paste in A2 cell and drag to the right:
=IFERROR(FILTER('Task Status'!$E3:$E, 'Task Status'!$H3:$H=A$1))
I'm looking for a way to display row number in my cross-tab.
I tried searching online for the answer on how to do it but I haven't found anything useful.
So I'm turning to the good people on Stack Overflow.
The reason that I want to do this, if it's even possible, is because many clients in the company I started working at asked to have a row number in the cross-tab.
I am using Visual Studio 2013 and Crystal Reports.
So is there any basic ( easy ) way to do this in Crystal Reports?
For example, I have a cross-tab that displays unit of measure and amounts.
https://imgur.com/a/lOjCq
But I would like my cross-tab to be like:
Amount
1. Total -38
2. KG
3. kut 9
4. LIT. 4
5. m -32
6. proc
7. KoŠ¼ -19
Please keep in mind that I only started working with Crystal Reports this week, so this is all new to me. And the cross-tab in the picture is just a random one I made to explain what I need.
Thank You in advance.
In order to show Row Number in your CrossTab you will need to first put Row Number in the Stored Procedure that sends data to your report.
In order to understand it better i will first show you how my data looks before i add a Row number(Pic 1).
Code:
select
a.S_ID as ID,
osn.sifra as BasicGoodsCode,
osn.naziv as BasicGoods,
null,
a.RobaSifra as GoodsCode,
a.Roba as Goods,
a.Detalj as Detail,
a.DetaljDodatak as DetailsAddon
from NP_Stavke s
left join RobaGrupe osn on osn.id = s.RobaId
left join #A a on a.S_ID = s.Id
order by BasicGoodsCode, ID
Pic 1: As you can see I have 3 different Ids for BasicGoods which means that I have 3 Rows in my CrossTab
Columns ID, BasicGoodsCode and BasicGoods are going to be Rows in my CrossTab.
Values from column DetailsAddon are going to be my columns in CrossTab.
Columns GoodsCode, Goods and Detail are going to be values in my CrossTab.
Column Pieces is not important.
Now that you know how everything looks we can start with adding a Row Number to our CrossTab.
Step 1:
First thing that you need to do is to add a Row number in table in your stored procedure.
To do this I used DENSE_RANK()
depending on your data you might need to use ROW_NUMBER() or maybe even something else. I used DENSE_RANK() because I needed my row number to change once S_ID changes.
Code:
select
a.S_ID as ID,
DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY osn.sifra, s.Id asc) as BasicGoodsRowNo, // THIS IS ADDED
osn.sifra as BasicGoodsCode,
osn.naziv as BasicGoods,
null as Pieces,
a.RobaSifra as GoodsCode,
a.Roba as Goods,
a.Detalj as Detail,
a.DetaljDodatak as DetailsAddon
from NP_Stavke s
left join RobaGrupe osn on osn.id = s.RobaId
left join #A a on a.S_ID = s.Id
order by BasicGoodsCode, ID
Lets take a look at how our data looks now(Pic 2)
As you can see we added a Row Number that changes when Id changes.
IMPORTANT: Row Number has to be ether Integer or Decimal in the DataTable that you are using in your report if it's not it will not work correctly.
Step 2:
We've done the 'hard' part now it's time to put Row number in our CrossTab.
When you create a CrossTab or when right click CrossTab and then click on 'Cross-Tab Expert...' it will open a window like this one and in it in the Row section you will insert your Row Number Column(in my case and as you can see in the code above the name of my Row Number Column is 'BasicGoodsRowNo').
Step 3:
Since you don't want to show only the Row number in the report left click on your Row and then click on 'Group Options...'(Pic 4)
Once the new window appears click on 'Options' tab then check the 'Customise group name field' then click on 'Use a formula as group name' and then on 'x-2'(Pic 5)
Step 4:
Enter a formula like this one:
toText( {myTbl.BasicGoodsRowNo}, 0, "" ) + '. ' + {myTbl.BasicGoodsCode} + ' ' + {myTbl.BasicGoods}
Of course your formula will not be exactly like mine since you will not have the same columns as I do. The only part of this formula that you HAVE to have is toText( {myTbl.BasicGoodsRowNo}, 0, "" ) where instead of {myTbl.BasicGoodsRowNo} you will put your row number column. You will need toText since if you dont have that and you want to show a String after your Row Number it will give you an error because RowNumber is an integer field.
GJ YOU ARE ALL DONE AND IT WASN'T THAT HARD WAS IT
How My CrossTab looks once RowNumber is added
Now there is a way to simplify this process and that is:
Step 1:
In your stored procedure create 2 columns. One will show Row Number and the other will show Value that will be displayed as CrossTab row.
Code:
select
a.S_ID as ID,
DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY osn.sifra, s.Id asc) as BasicGoodsRowNo, // RowNumber
CONVERT(varchar(10), DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY osn.sifra, s.Id asc)) + '. ' + osn.sifra + ' ' +osn.naziv as BasicGoods, // Value that will be displayed in CrossTab Row
null as Pieces,
a.RobaSifra as GoodsCode,
a.Roba as Goods,
a.Detalj as Detail,
a.DetaljDodatak as DetailsAddon
from NP_Stavke s
left join RobaGrupe osn on osn.id = s.RobaId
left join #A a on a.S_ID = s.Id
order by BasicGoods, ID
As you can see Column BasicGoodsRowNo did not change and will still display the same values as before and I have deleted the clumns BasicGoodsCode and BasicGoods and replaced them with this
CONVERT(varchar(10), DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY osn.sifra, s.Id asc)) + '. ' + osn.sifra + ' ' +osn.naziv as BasicGoods,
The BasicGoods column will show BasicGoodsRowNo + BasicGoodsCode + BasicGoods.
Step 2:
Step 2 is the same as before.
Step 3:
Once you click on your row and on 'Group Options' go to 'Options' tab again then check the 'Customise group name field' check box again and after that instead clicking on 'Use a formula as group name' click on 'Choose from existing field' and from a combo box select the column you want to show as Row Value in your CrossTab. In my Case that is 'BasicGoods' column (Pic 7).
I used the first method since depending on what user decides I may not show CrossTab at all and I may not show BasicGoods but if you only have CrossTab in your report you can use the second, shorter and easier, method.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
I did not hide the entire rows. I hid just the duplicated values in one column and I need to sum that same column, excluding the hidden values. Thank you very much.
The field having duplicated values that I wanted to hide is SpaceArea This is how I hid the duplicated values from rows on the SpaceArea column:
=IIF(Fields!SpaceID.Value = Previous(Fields!SpaceID.Value),True, False)
Then I need to SUM all the SpaceArea excluding the hidden values.
Once I tried to use the same Show/Hide logic to the Sum expression as per another post of yours, I got an error message. This is what I tried:
=Sum(IIF(Fields!SpaceID.Value = Previous(Fields!SpaceID.Value), Nothing, Fields!SpaceArea.Value))
==> then I got this error message:
previous functions cannot be specified as nested aggregates.
You can use row_number() in your SQL to highlight the duplicates.
row_number() over (partition by SpaceID order by (select null)) as [RowNumber]
This will give you an arbitrary numbering to the duplicate rows.
Then in SSRS you can use..
sum(iif(Fields!RowNumber.Value = 1, Fields!SpaceArea.Value, Nothing)) to only sum the first instance of each duplicate.
I am building stacked column flash chart on my query. I would like to split values in column for different locations. For argument sake I have 5 ids in location 41, 3 ids in location 21, 8 ids in location 1
select
'' link,
To_Char(ENQUIRED_DATE,'MON-YY') label,
count(decode(location_id,41,id,0)) "location1",
count(decode(location_id,21,id,0)) "location2",
count(decode(location_id,1,id,0)) "location3"
from "my_table"
where
some_conditions = 'Y';
as a result of this query Apex is creating stacked column with three separate parts( hurray!), however it instead of having values 5,3 and 8, it returns three regions 16,16,16. ( 16 = 5 +3+8).
So obviously Apex is going through all decode conditions and adding all values.
I am trying to achieve something described in this
article
Apex doesn't appear to be doing anything funky, you'd get the same result running that query through SQL*Plus. When you do:
count(decode(location_id,41,id,0)) "location1",
.. then the count gets incremented for every row - it doesn't matter which column you include, and the zero is just treated as any fixed value. I think you meant to use sum:
sum(decode(location_id,41,1,0)) "location1",
Here each row is assigned either zero or one, and summing those gives you the number that got one, which is the number that had the specified id value.
Personally I'd generally use caseover decode, but the result is the same:
sum(case when location_id = 41 then 1 else 0 end) "location1",
I think I could use some help here from more experienced users...
I have an integer field name in a table, let's call it SO_ID in a table SO, and to each new row I need to calculate a new SO_ID based on the following rules
1) SO_ID consists of 6 letters where first 3 are an area code, and the last three is the sequenced number within this area.
309001
309002
309003
2) so the next new row will have a SO_ID of value
309004
3) if someone deletes the row with SO_ID value = 309002, then the next new row must recycle this value, so the next new row has got to have the SO_ID of value
309002
can anyone please provide me with either a SQL function or PL/SQL (perhaps a trigger straightaway?) function that would return the next available SO_ID I need to use ?
I reckon I could get use of keyword rownum in my sql, but the follwoing just doens't work properly
select max(so_id),max(rownum) from(
select (so_id),rownum,cast(substr(cast(so_id as varchar(6)),4,3) as int) from SO
where length(so_id)=6
and substr(cast(so_id as varchar(6)),1,3)='309'
and cast(substr(cast(so_id as varchar(6)),4,3) as int)=rownum
order by so_id
);
thank you for all your help!
This kind of logic is fraught with peril. What if two sessions calculate the same "next" value, or both try to reuse the same "deleted" value? Since your column is an integer, you'd probably be better off querying "between 309001 and 309999", but that begs the question of what happens when you hit the thousandth item in area 309?
Is it possible to make SO_ID a foreign key to another table as well as a unique key? You could pre-populate the parent table with all valid IDs (or use a function to generate them as needed), and then it would be a simple matter to select the lowest one where a child record doesn't exist.
well, we came up with this... sort of works.. concurrency is 'solved' via unique constraint
select min(lastnumber)
from
(
select so_id,so_id-LAG(so_id, 1, so_id) OVER (ORDER BY so_id) AS diff,LAG(so_id, 1, so_id) OVER (ORDER BY so_id)as lastnumber
from so_miso
where substr(cast(so_id as varchar(6)),1,3)='309'
and length(so_id)=6
order by so_id
)a
where diff>1;
Do you really need to compute & store this value at the time a row is inserted? You would normally be better off storing the area code and a date in a table and computing the SO_ID in a view, i.e.
SELECT area_code ||
LPAD( DENSE_RANK() OVER( PARTITION BY area_code
ORDER BY date_column ),
3,
'0' ) AS so_id,
<<other columns>>
FROM your_table
or having a process that runs periodically (nightly, for example) to assign the SO_ID using similar logic.
If your application is not pure sql, you could do this in application code (ie: Java code). This would be more straightforward.
If you are recycling numbers when rows are deleted, your base table must be consulted when generating the next number. "Legacy" pre-relational schemes that attempt to encode information in numbers are a pain to make airtight when numbers must be recycled after deletes, as you say yours must.
If you want to avoid having to scan your table looking for gaps, an after-delete routine must write the deleted number to a separate table in a "ReuseMe" column. The insert routine does this:
begins trans
selects next-number table for update
uses a reuseme number if available else uses the next number
clears the reuseme number if applicable or increments the next-number in the next-number table
commits trans
Ignoring the issues about concurrency, the following should give a decent start.
If 'traffic' on the table is low enough, go with locking the table in exclusive mode for the duration of the transaction.
create table blah (soc_id number(6));
insert into blah select 309000 + rownum from user_tables;
delete from blah where soc_id = 309003;
commit;
create or replace function get_next (i_soc in number) return number is
v_min number := i_soc* 1000;
v_max number := v_min + 999;
begin
lock table blah in exclusive mode;
select min(rn) into v_min
from
(select rownum rn from dual connect by level <= 999
minus
select to_number(substr(soc_id,4))
from blah
where soc_id between v_min and v_max);
return v_min;
end;
