I am trying to create a report which has addresses in form of house Nbr and street Name. I want to group all address by street name and then order them by house nbr which is a string but should sort like a number. Ideally i would like the odd ascending and then the evens descending so that my list would look like
1,3,5,7,9 .... 8,6,4,2
How would i go about this ? I created first group on street name and then 2nd group on house number with a formula for sorting of nbrs
i created a Formula Field OddEven with
ToNumber({tbl_FarmMaster.sano}) MOD 2
but i am having hard time applying that to my group
Create two formulas like below. Let's call them oddFirst and negativeEven.
oddFirst formula:
ToNumber({tbl_FarmMaster.sano}) MOD 2 == 1 then
1 //it is odd
else
2 //it is even
negativeEven formula:
if ToNumber({tbl_FarmMaster.sano}) MOD 2 == 1 then
ToNumber({tbl_FarmMaster.sano}) //it is odd
else
-ToNumber({tbl_FarmMaster.sano}) //it is even, note the negative sign
Then create two groups to sort:
first by the formula oddFirst
second by the formula negativeEven
Show the {tbl_FarmMaster.sano} field.
How can I indicate multiple records with the same Invoice number, but a different Sales Person ID? Our commissions can be split into multiple Salespeople, so there can be two different Salespeople per an invoice.
For example:
Grouped by: Sales Person ID (No Changing this option)
These records are in the Group Footer.
Sales Person ID: Invoice: Invoice Amt: Commissions: (Indicator)
4433 R100 20,000 3,025 * More than one record on the same invoice with a different sales person
4450 R096 1,987 320
4599 R100 20,000 3,025 * More than one record on the same invoice with a different sales person
4615 R148 560 75
4777 R122 2,574 356
If your report has less than 1000 invoices, you may try something like this.
This will return true when a second ocurrence of the invoice shows up. Then you can make something like set the row background do red.
Global NumberVar Array invoices;
numbervar nextIndex := count(invoices) + 1;
if nextIndex <= 1000 and not ({Result.InvoiceNumber} in invoices) then (
redim invoices [nextIndex];
invoices[nextIndex] := {Result.InvoiceNumber};
true;
)
else false;
If you want to detect the first occurrence, you will need something more sophisticated.
I think a SQL Expression Field would be a good way to achieve the result you want. You already have an InvoiceNo in each row of data. You just need a SQL Expression Field that uses that INvoiceNo to execute a query to count the number of salespersons who get a commission.
Something along the lines of:
(
Select Count(Sales_Person_Id)
From [Table]
Where [Table].InvoiceNo = InvoiceNo
)
This will return an integer value that represents the number of salespersons who are associated with one invoice. You can either drop the SQL Expression Field in your Indicator column, or write some other formula to do something special.
I have a 2 tables FIRST
id,rl_no,adm_date,fees
1,123456,14-11-10,100
2,987654,10-11-12,30
3,4343,14-11-17,20
and SECOND
id,rollno,fare,type
1,123456,20,bs
5,634452,1000,bs
3,123456,900,bs
4,123456,700,bs
My requirement is twofold,
1, i first need to get all columns from both tables with common rl_no. So i used:
SELECT a.ID,a.rl_no,a.adm_date,a.fees,b.rollno,b.fare,b.type FROM FIRST a
INNER JOIN
SECOND b ON a.rl_no = b.rollno
The output is like this:
id,rl_no,adm_date,fees,rollno,fare,type
1,123456,14-11-10,100,123456,20,bs
1,123456,10-11-12,100,123456,900,bs
1,123456,14-11-17,100,123456,700,bs
2,Next i wanted to get the sum(fare) of those rollno that were common between the 2 tables and also whose fare >= fees from FIRST table group by rollno and id.
My query is:
SELECT x.ID,x.rl_no,,x.adm_date,x.fees,x.rollno,x.type,sum(x.fare) as "fare" from (SELECT a.ID,a.rl_no,a.adm_date,a.fees,b.rollno,b.fare,b.type FROM FIRST a
INNER JOIN
SECOND b ON a.rl_no = b.rollno) x, FIRST y
WHERE x.rollno = y.rl_no AND x.fare >= y.fees AND x.type IS NOT NULL GROUP BY x.rollno,x.ID ;
But this is throwing in exceptions.
ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression
00979. 00000 - "not a GROUP BY expression"
The expected output will be like this:
id,rollno,adm_date,fare,type
1,123456,14-11-10,1620,bs
So could someone care to show an oracle newbie what i'm doing wrong here?
It looks like there's a couple different problems here;
Firstly, you're trying to group by an x.ID column which doesn't exist; it looks like you'll want to add ID to the selected columns in your sub-query.
Secondly, when aggregating with GROUP BY, all selected columns need to be either listed in the GROUP BY statement or aggregated. If you're grouping by rollno and ID, what do you want to have happen to all the extra values for adm_date, fees, and type? Are those always going to be the same for each distinct rollno and ID pair?
If so, simply add them to the GROUP BY statement, ie,
GROUP BY adm_date, fees, type, rollno, ID
If not, you'll need to work out exactly how you want to select which one to be output; If you've got output like your example (adding in an ID column here)
ID,adm_date,fees,rollno,fare,type
1,14-11-10,100,123456,20,bs
1,10-11-12,100,123456,900,bs
1,14-11-17,100,123456,700,bs
Call that result set 'a'. If I run;
SELECT a.ID, a.rollno, SUM(a.fare) as total_fare
FROM a
GROUP BY a.ID, a.rollno
Then the result will be a single row;
ID,rollno,total_fare
1,123456,1620
So, if you also select the adm_date, fees, and type columns, oracle has no idea what you mean to do with them. You're not using them for grouping, and you're not telling oracle how you want to pick which one to use.
You could do something like
SELECT a.ID,
FIRST(a.adm_date) as first_adm_date,
FIRST(a.fees) as first_fees,
a.rollno,
SUM(a.fare) as total_fare,
FIRST(a.type) as first_type
FROM a
GROUP BY a.ID, a.rollno
Which would give the result;
ID,first_adm_date,first_fees,rollno,total_fare,first_type
1,14-11-10,100,123456,1620,bs
I'm not sure if that's what you mean to do though.
I have a report which has essentially
Order
OrderDetail 1
OrderDetail ..
OrderDetail n
These details can have parts and/or labour costs associated with them.
Currently, I group based on OrderId and then have the OrderDetail information in the details section of the report. This works perfectly.
However, now I need to group the Orders based on two criteria OrderType and LabourCost of the entire Order. I have put together a quick formula to determine order.
if(Sum({order.Labour}, {order.OrderId})> 0) then
if({order.type} = "type1") then 1 else 2
else
if({order.type} = "type1") then 3 else 4
Basically, if it should be sorted based on labour then on type. (the Sum({order.Labour}, {order.OrderId}) sums the labour grouping based on the orderid)
However when I go to the Group Expert and add the group by field to my formula and then preview my report it spins (I cancelled the preview after a minute). If I remove the Sum portion of the formula then it takes less than a second.
Is there a way to order this report?
How I would approach it:
First, create a sql-expresssion field that calculates the labor total for each order:
// {%TOTAL_LABOR}
(
SELECT Sum(Labour)
FROM OrderDetail
WHERE OrderId=Order.OrderId
)
Next, create a formula field:
// {#OrderGroup}
if({%TOTAL_LABOR}> 0) then
if({order.type} = "type1") then 1 else 2
else
if({order.type} = "type1") then 3 else 4
Finally, create a new group, based on the formula field, ensuring that it groups before the order group. You can suppress the group's header and footer if desired.
So I have these 3 table/views in my database.
Table
id
template
View1 // the ids in this view have a corresponding id in table if template = 1
id
type1
View2 // the ids in this view have a corresponding id in table if template = 2
id
type2
So in my report, I want to select all the ids... and then group by template, and then group by type. I can do this for one View at a time by setting up the group to be either View1.type1 or View2.type2. But, I want it to group by View1.type1 if template is 1 and then I want it to group by View2.type2 if the template is 2.
So I made a forumla called type, and changed the group to that formula.. So I am first grouping by template, and then by type (my formula). If I set the formula for type as below:
formula = {View1.type1}
Then it works as expected and I see the correct grouping. It also works if I only do it for View2.type2.
However, when I do this:
if {Table.template} = 1
formula = {View1.type1}
else
formula = {View2.type2}
This returns no data for my grouping. Even if I do this:
if 1 = 1
formula = {View1.type1}
else
formula = {View2.type2}
This also returns no data. How is dynamic grouping supposed to work? I am missing something? I guess at the worst case I can make another view in my database or even use subreports... but I was hoping to have it work like this... I greatly appreciate the help guys!...
UPDATE:
So I can do formulas such as this one:
if {View1.type1} = "" then
formula = "[Undefined]"
else
formula = {View1.type1}
end if
It looks like I only have issues when I try to use a formula with the 2 views...
