I have spent several hours trying to google my issue with no luck. I was wondering if anyone here would know how to do this.
I have 2 separate unrelated tables:
The first table has bank deposits(all deposits for a specific day) with the amounts example:
1/4/16 $10
1/4/16 $20
1/5/16 $15
1/5/16 $25
The second table has transactions from my billing software example:
1/4/16 $5
1/4/16 $12
1/4/16 $17
1/5/16 $22
1/5/16 $2
1/5/16 $4
I need to create a report, so that I can pull the sum for each day-
1/4/16 - first table sum: $30 - second table sum: $34
1/5/16 - first table sum: $40 - second table sum: $28
Is this possible? If so, how can I do this. I can get the sums for each table separately by using a group on the specific date field but I can not figure out how to do them both at the same time.
I you don't want to do much on database then create two sub-reports
Group data on date for both reports(Suppress details and header if you don't need them).
In both report Place Group name then First/Second table sum then Grand total Summary for your amount field.
Place both reports in front of each other and align them base line.
This will hopefully work for you if min date in both tables is same.
If min date is different then you can create a view or stored procedure to join data and just group it on date.
You can link both the tables using joins on date column and just group by date and take summary in group footer
Edit.......
I assume your last record will be duplicated so use running total.
Create a new running total
First select the field to summarize.
Second evaluate select radio button on every record
Third reset...select on change of your calculated field.
Suppose if you are summarizing amount field then
Filed to summarize: select amount
Evaluate: select for every record
Reset: on change of field amount

I am trying to create a stock portfolio tracker.
Table 1 has all transactions in this format: Date | Irrelevant | Amount Bought (+) or Sold (-).
Table 2 has all Dates for every Day from the Date of the first purchase until the current Date.
Table 1 Table 2
I am trying to get a Formula that calculates the total amount of shares bought/sold on a given day. Table 2 should then look like this:
Goal (A) Goal (B) Goal (C)
I have tried some array formulas but cant figure out how SUM all Amounts for a specific Date.
This is what I currently have:
=ArrayFormula(INDEX(Transactions!$B$12:D, MATCH (TRUE,EXACT(Transactions!$B$12:B, B7),0)))
I am thankful for any help!
I believe this isn't really a proper question for stackoverflow, but try `=SUMIF(Transactions!$B$12:$B, B25, Transactions!$D$12:$D)' and just drag it down (or Ctrl+D).
What I am trying to achieve is to get a count of people employed in a particular period.
I have 3 variables:
Employee ID (integer)
Hire date (date)
Termination date (date or null)
Example
the formula I am looking for is something like
if termination_date is null
then
count employee_ID in
dates between Hire_date and max of either hire_date or termination_date
else
count employee ID in
dates between hire_date and termination_date
This aims to show the dynamic of staff level over the time.
I am new to Tableau, not sure how to even start with it. Any suggestions welcome.
This problem will be simpler if you reshape your data to have the following three columns
Employee ID
Date
Action. (where action takes on the values of ‘Hire’ or ‘Terminate’).
Each data row represents one change in status for an employees. If an employee had a termination date, they will have two records in this new format, otherwise just one record showing the hiring date.
You can reshape your data by hand, or leave the original and use Tableau Prep or the Tableau data source page to reshape using a self Union and a few simple calculated fields.
Define a calculated field called Staffing_Change as
if Action=‘Hire’ then 1 else -1 end
Now you can plot the change in staff level over time by putting exact date on columns and sum(Staffing_Change) on Rows. You can use a quick Table calc, Running Sum, to see the net staffing level. For line mark types, I’d use a step style by pressing on the path button on the Marks card. Otherwise, the chart can give the impression of fractional number of employees.
Crystal reports don't let me use a custom count formula field to filter which transactions to show in a manager report.
I'm creating a Crystal report that team leaders are supposed to take out to see on how many occasions their employees have reported in sick. A record is only supposed to show if that person has reported in sick 6 or more times the last 12 months.
The report shows a record (a page) for each employee belonging to the managers organisational unit. Below the employee information is a subreport where I show the transactions from the salary/time system. Using select expert, I have filtered out the transactions that is supposed to show. I have then created a database field that count which day was 12 months back from today, and filtered so that only the transactions falling into this period shows.
My last problem is that I only want to show the record that has a minimum of 6 such transactions during the period. I created a formula field named #Antal ("amount" in Swedish) that simply counts the distinct number of dates in the "from"-date for the salary transactions I'm showing (since a change of law 2019-01-01 we needed to create a new transaction type, so some of the occasions after 2019 may have two transactions referring to one sick leave, thus I'm counting the first day of the period instead), DistinctCount ({P_LSTAT.P_SXXX06})
Now, the subreport has a new column with Antal (amount) that counts the amount of the desired salary transaction. I then try to use the selection formula to only show records where {#Antal} >= 6 but I get the following error:
This formula cannot be used because it must be evaluated later
Is there any other (better) way of doing this, or am I simply missing something?
For your selection based on {#Antal} >= 6 you need to use the group selection formula, not the record selection formula. Record selection is used to select records which meet the criteria before reading in the data. Group selection is used to filter out entire groups of records based on summarised values, after the records have been read in and the summaries calculated - which sounds like exactly what you need here.
The value of a Formula Field is out of scope when the Select Expert is evaluated.
There is no process for calculating the value of a Formula Field before it is printed within the section of the report it is placed. The Select Expert is evaluated prior to any section of the report being printed, so at this time all Formula Fields are effectively Nothing.
I am trying to create a chart (bar or line) in crystal from one table in my database (Sage CRM).
The records are as follows
CustomerId Date Invoice Amount
1234 3/4/2013 Cust Invoice 3322.00
1234 3/4/2013 Payment 2445.00
1234 4/5/2013 A/c transaction 322.00
1234 5/6/2013 interest 32.00
1234 6/6/2013 payment 643.00
So I would like to have a report that meets the following criteria
Only records for the last 12 months grouped in month
Only invoice types of payment, invoice and interest
A moving balance that calculates all the invoice amounts ie
(when displaying the information for July 2012, the moving balance will be the total of all invoices prior to this date.
Without this field I can create the chart no problem using select expert but I am not sure now what to do)
Should I use a cross tab? if so how will I do the selection to only show the invoices I want and the the date range I want?
After spending almost a week on this problem, with a lot of help from an expert I have finally got a solution.
In order to create a amount that is the sum of all records for a company, month and invoice type since the beginning of time, while only displaying records for the last year, I have created a SQL command
Select
//All of the fields for the report,
movingBalance.Amount
from myInvoiceTable as mit
<join to any other tables for the report>
left join (
select customerID, sum(amount) as Amount
from myInvoiceTable
where Record_Type in ('Payment', 'Invoice','Interest')
and Date < {?Report Start Date}
group by customerID) movingBalance
on mit.customerID = movingBalance.customerID
where mit.RecordType in ('Payment', 'Invoice','Interest')
and mit.Date >= {?Report Start Date}
and mit.Date <= {?Report End Date}
There are a couple of tricks to using commands:
For performance reasons you generally want to include ALL of the data for the report in a single command. Avoid joining multiple commands or joining one or more tables to a command.
Filter the data in the command, NOT in the Select Expert in the report.
Create any parameters in the Command Editor, not in the main report. Parameters created in the report won't work in the Command Editor.
This has done the trick.
Create Date Parameters in the report to filter out the records at the time of fetching now when you run the report you have left with the data you need.
Now you can manuplate the data inside report using formula fields.
Accoding to me writing stored procedures is a bit hectic task as you can manuplate the data inside the report. I don't have any intentions to disrespect anyone opinions but frankly its my opinion.
In that case Rachsherry I would recommend the following.
For criteria parts 1 & 2 I think instead of using stored procs, it may be easier for you to use a formula.
For invoices right click the invoice field, then "Format Field" in the common tab next to the Suppress option there is a formula button, enter the following...
IF {YourInvoiceField} IN ["Payment", "Invoice", "Interest] THEN FALSE ELSE TRUE
For your date requirement you need to use a selection formula... The code for that should look something like this
{YourDateHere} > DateAdd ("yyyy", -1, CurrentDate) AND {YourDateHere} < CurrentDate
The above code basically looks at dates between the day the report is run, and exactly a year before.
For your moving balance, you should be able to achive that with the guide here
Edit - An alternative to this is to use parameter fields (Which I don't personally like) it just means having to input the parameters every time the report is refreshed, they are self explanatory but you can find a guide here
If I have a report that tracks data for several accounts for each month with rows labeled:
UNITS,
REVENUE,
AVG REV/UNIT
How would I create a query that will filter the report to just show accounts where the UNITS row has increase/decreased 25% and the AVG REV/UNIT has increased/decreased 10%, from the previous month to the current month.
An example would be for the month of June I have the numbers....
JUN
UNITS 3,271
Revenue $3,598.10
Avg R/U $1.08
So when I run the report at the end of July I only want accounts that have a 25% difference in UNITS and/or a 10% difference in AVG REV/UNIT to show on a report.

You should do it with more than one query. In the first query, select the data for the first month. On a second, to the desired month to compare. Create a third query that links the two first (be care about the correct relationship). Do the grouping/calculations in these queries.
In the 3rd query, create two fields that calculates increasing/decreasing for units and rev/unit. Now, you can add a criterium on each parameter field in the query columns.
The chalenge here is to be sure about hou would you work with the primary keys on months. Eg: if a A row in the first query isn't in the second (for not having an event on second month, for example), it will not be showed. In this case, the solution would be to create the queryes linking a table or query wich has the entyre set of registers, forcing it to show all the desired records despite they have or not occurrences.
