sorting integer or decimal column in nhibernate - asp.net-mvc-3

I am trying to sort decimal or integer column. but while sorting ascending zero is coming last.
the code is:
criteria.AddOrder(Order.Asc(Projections.Cast(NHibernateUtil.Decimal, Projections.Property("cloumn1")))));
output:
35342860
36870852
87654321
213123213
0
0
Any issue in code? or what is solution?

These are most likely null values. You could look at using a conditional restriction or making this a non nullable column with a default of 0, which would seem to be what you are after.
Conditional restriction would be something like this
.AddOrder
(
Order.Asc
(
Projections.Conditional
(
Restrictions.IsNull("cloumn1"),
Projections.Constant(1),
Projections.Constant(0)
)
)
)
which if you put in as first ordering will put the nulls at the top and displayed as 0

DAX - CONCATENATEX TO FILTER AN UNRELATED TABLE

I have an unrelated table ('Selected Values Slicer') that is then used as a slicer to select values. I need to use these selected values to filter another table ('Results Table').
Doesn't seem to be working as I'd expect it to. The output shows a 0 when more then 1 item is selected but works ok when 1 value is selected
VAR __SelectedValues =
CONCATENATEX(
ALLSELECTED('Selected Values Slicer'[Description]),
'Selected Values Slicer'[Description],
",")
RETURN
CALCULATE(
[TotalCount],
'Results Table'[Description] IN {__SelectedValues}
)
__SelectedValues RETURNS "Selected Value 1,Selected Value 2"
What I'm expecting is __SelectedValues to RETURN "Selected Value 1","Selected Value 2"
The following syntax will return "Selected Value 1","Selected Value 2" as you asks
CONCATENATEX(
ALLSELECTED('Selected Values Slicer'[Description])
,"""" & 'Selected Values Slicer'[Description] & """"
,","
)
Regarding filtering. I was trying to use the string as filter, but I didn't manage it the way you want. I can't say what is the reason for DAX not to do that, but asked Marco Russo about the case. So, I'll add the answer since a get it (upd. the answer added to the end of the answer).
To filter the table with a string of CONCATENAX() you can try the following sytax ( I checked it with a dummy data):
VAR __SelectedValues =
CONCATENATEX(
ALLSELECTED('Selected Values Slicer'[Description])
,'Selected Values Slicer'[Description]
,","
)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
[TotalCount]
,FILTER(
'Results Table'
,CONTAINSSTRING(
__SelectedValues
,'Results Table'[Description]
)
)
)
Regarding result you want to achieve. A below code, I believe, is enough. You have a slicer and you want to apply its values to the result. I have a feeling, you don't need to change a contex to the slicer and no context can influence it. If it's not like that, then the code should be altered, but the idea remains the same - get a column with a unique values and use it as a filter. I checked the syntax and it was functioning.
CALCULATE(
[TotalCount]
,'Results Table'[Description] IN VALUES('Selected Values Slicer'[Description])
)
P.S.
My first answer was not ok. I messed some info and gave an incorrect input. I'm sorry for that.
P.S.S. The answer from Marco Russo:
"IN looks for an exact match in a table (IN VALUE is a better choice for your need, and a better one is:
TREATAS ( VALUES ( slicer[column1] ), table[color] )
The result of CONCATENATEX is a string, so you should use CONTAINSSTRING - DAX Guide to do the search, but it would be slower and potentially inaccurate."
This is the answer from his colleague

Strange behaviour when using FILTER to filter a different table with no direct relationship?

I have two facts tables, First and Second, and two dimension tables, dimTime and dimColour.
Fact table First looks like this:
and facet table Second looks like this:
Both dim-tables have 1:* relationships to both fact tables and the filtering is one-directional (from dim to fact), like this:
dimColour[Color] 1 -> * First[Colour]
dimColour[Color] 1 -> * Second[Colour]
dimTime[Time] 1 -> * First[Time]
dimTime[Time] 1 -> * Second[Time_]
Adding the following measure, I would expect the FILTER-functuion not to have any affect on the calculation, since Second does not filter First, right?
Test_Alone =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( First[Amount] );
First[Alone] = "Y";
FILTER(
'Second';
'Second'[Colour]="Red"
)
)
So this should evaluate to 7, since only two rows in First have [Alone] = "Y" with values 1 and 6 and that there is no direct relationship between First and Second. However, this evaluates to 6. If I remove the FILTER-function argument in the calculate, it evaluates to 7.
There are thre additional measures in the pbix-file attached which show the same type of behaviour.
How is filtering one fact table which has no direct relationship to a second fact table affecting the calculation done on the second table?
Ziped Power BI-file: PowerBIFileDownload
Evaluating the table reference 'Second' produces a table that includes the columns in both the Second table, as well as those in all the (transitive) parents of the Second table.
In this case, this is a table with all of the columns in dimColour, dimTime, Second.
You can't see this if you just run:
evaluate 'Second'
as when 'evaluate' returns the results to the user, these "Parent Table" (or "Related") columns are not included.
Even so, these columns are certainly present.
When a table is converted to a row context, these related columns become available via RELATED.
See the following queries:
evaluate FILTER('Second', ISBLANK(RELATED(dimColour[Color])))
evaluate 'Second' order by RELATED(dimTime[Hour])
Similarly, when arguments to CALCULATE are used to update the filter context, these hidden "Related" columns are not ignored; hence, they can end up filtering First, in your example. You can see this, by using a function that strips the related columns, such as INTERSECT:
Test_ActuallyAlone = CALCULATE (
SUM ( First[Amount] ),
First[Alone] = "Y",
//This filter now does nothing, as none of the columns in Second
//have an impact on 'SUM ( First[Amount] )'; and the related columns
//are removed by the INTERSECT.
FILTER(
INTERSECT('Second', 'Second')
'Second'[Colour]="Red"
)
)

(this is an alternative but equivalent explanation of this behaviour)

Sorting String Numeric Numbers in SSRS Matrix

I have a column in my matrix table that is a varchar containing numeric values (stepName). In the report, it prints off as 1,10,11... 2,20,21,22... etc instead of 1,2.. 10, 20.
I found another question that suggested either converting the varchar values to int and then sorting, or adding a datatype numeric column and using that to sort. (sorting string numeric values in SSRS 2008)
I can't convert the varchar values to int as I have about 50/50 varchar/numeric values. I actually have a numeric sequence column, but when I tried to use this as a sort both in the query, the column tablix properties and the list tablix properties, it still didn't sort. What am I missing? Thank you!
select hrss.salaryScheduleCode, hrss.salaryScheduleName, st.stepName, st.seq, sl.laneName
from dbo.HRSalarySchedule hrss
left join dbo.HRSalaryScheduleStep st on st.hrSalaryScheduleID = hrss.hrSalaryScheduleID
left join dbo.HRSalaryScheduleLane sl on sl.hrSalaryScheduleID = hrss.hrSalaryScheduleID
order by hrss.salaryScheduleCode, st.seq, sl.seq
Change the sorting of the tablix to use an expression:
=CInt(Fields!stepName.Value)
Edit:
Ok, I misunderstood the 50/50 thing with varchar/numeric values, so here's a better solution.
The Val function evaluates a leading numerical value, so I suggest to create 2 sorting columns:
Expression =Val(Fields!stepName.Value)
Field stepName
This will for example create a sort order like this:

How to filter clickhouse table by array column contents?

I have a clickhouse table that has one Array(UInt16) column. I want to be able to filter results from this table to only get rows where the values in the array column are above a threshold value. I've been trying to achieve this using some of the array functions (arrayFilter and arrayExists) but I'm not familiar enough with the SQL/Clickhouse query syntax to get this working.
I've created the table using:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ArrayTest (
date Date,
sessionSecond UInt16,
distance Array(UInt16)
) Engine = MergeTree(date, (date, sessionSecond), 8192);
Where the distance values will be distances from a certain point at a certain amount of seconds (sessionSecond) after the date. I've added some sample values so the table looks like the following:
Now I want to get all rows which contain distances greater than 7. I found the array operators documentation here and tried the arrayExists function but it's not working how I'd expect. From the documentation, it says that this function "Returns 1 if there is at least one element in 'arr' for which 'func' returns something other than 0. Otherwise, it returns 0". But when I run the query below I get three zeros returned where I should get a 0 and two ones:
SELECT arrayExists(
val -> val > 7,
arrayEnumerate(distance))
FROM ArrayTest;
Eventually I want to perform this select and then join it with the table contents to only return rows that have an exists = 1 but I need this first step to work before that. Am I using the arrayExists wrong? What I found more confusing is that when I change the comparison value to 2 I get all 1s back. Can this kind of filtering be achieved using the array functions?
Thanks
You can use arrayExists in the WHERE clause.
SELECT *
FROM ArrayTest
WHERE arrayExists(x -> x > 7, distance) = 1;
Another way is to use ARRAY JOIN, if you need to know which values is greater than 7:
SELECT d, distance, sessionSecond
FROM ArrayTest
ARRAY JOIN distance as d
WHERE d > 7
I think the reason why you get 3 zeros is that arrayEnumerate enumerates over the array indexes not array values, and since none of your rows have more than 7 elements arrayEnumerates results in 0 for all the rows.
To make this work,
SELECT arrayExists(
val -> distance[val] > 7,
arrayEnumerate(distance))
FROM ArrayTest;

Most efficient way to filter multiple dimensions

Trying to get the [Number] and [Sum of Time Spent] for all Changes that were open during period 201405.
The best definition of open I can think of is is:
- Changes that were logged before or during the [MonthPeriod], while closed during or after the [MonthPeriod]
SELECT
[Measures].[Sum of Time Spent] ON COLUMNS
,
[FactChange].[Number].[Number] ON ROWS
FROM
[Change Management]
WHERE
(FILTER(
[DimLoggedDate].[MonthPeriod].[MonthPeriod]
,[DimLoggedDate].[MonthPeriod].MEMBERVALUE <= 201405
)
,
FILTER(
[DimClosedDate].[MonthPeriod].[MonthPeriod]
,[DimClosedDate].[MonthPeriod].MEMBERVALUE >= 201405
))
The above query returns a list with all numbers, with a null value when the filters in the WHERE clause don't apply. I would like to remove the NULL items.
Because the query returns ALL Numbers, I wonder if this is the most efficient query to solve the issue. Applying NonEmpty() would remove the numbers, but since all changes are enumerated, isn't this putting more stress on the system than required?
You do it simply by adding "Non empty" in the on Rows clause:
...
non empty [FactChange].[Number].[Number] on Rows
...
