Cognos Report studio scenario for a report development - cognos-10

I have a scenario in which I have table A which has fixed data of 7 rows as below :
Range 0-59
60-119
120-179
180-239
240-299
300-499
500+
Now I have another table B in which I have units.. I have to show all records of Table A and then the units which fall in that range that particular value and for rest range as 0 or null.
So in order to join the two tables I created a column in table B with case statement so that rows have the range as the column :
(case
when v between '0' and '59' then '0 to 59'
when v between '60' and '119' then '60 to 119'
when V between '120' and '179' then '120 to 179'
when v between '180' and '239' then '180 to 239'
when v between '240' and '299' then '240 to 299'
when v between '300' and '499' then '300 to 499'
when v >'500' then '500+'
else 'other'
end)
Then I joined these two tables.... Now when I populate these records I get just the matching row only one.... My requirement is to show all ranges as well.....
Please refer below screenshots for Clarification of scenario :

How can I accumulate values from rows on a per closest date basis to a list of dates as a parameter according the parameter dates?

There is table that has a date and cnt column e.g.
timestamp cnt
------------------
1547015021 14
1547024080 2
This table can be created using :-
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS roundit_base;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS roundit_base (timestamp INTEGER, cnt INTEGER);
INSERT INTO roundit_base VALUES (1547015021,14),(1547024080,2);
The result should be the sum of the cnt column of rows that are the closest timestamp to a list of supplied timestamps, e.g. the supplied data could be
1546905600 - 0
1546992000 - 0
1547078400 - 0
...
The result should be along the lines of
1546905600 - 0
1546992000 - 14
1547078400 - 2
That is two columns:-
the timestamp from the list of supplied timestamps, that the respective rows from the database are closest to and
the sum of the cnt column those rows on a per supplied timestamp
Although the results are different from the expected results in that the calculations used places both 1547015021 and 1547024080 as being closest to the suplied timestamp of 1546992000;
The following could be the basis of an SQLite based solution :-
WITH
-- The supplied list of timestamps
v (cv,dflt) AS (
VALUES (1546905600,0),(1546992000,0),(1547078400,0)
),
-- Join the two sets calculating the difference
cte1 AS (
SELECT *, abs(cv - timestamp) AS diff FROM roundit_base INNER JOIN v
),
-- Find the closest (smallest difference) for each timestamp
cte2 AS (
SELECT *, min(diff) FROM cte1 GROUP BY timestamp
)
-- For each compartive value sum the counts allocated/assigned (timestamps) to that
SELECT cv,
CASE
WHEN
(SELECT sum(cnt) FROM cte2 WHERE cv = v.cv) IS NOT NULL
THEN
(SELECT sum(cnt) FROM cte2 WHERE cv = v.cv)
ELSE 0
END AS cnt
FROM v;
;
The above results in :-

Teradata : using case statement in Where clause

My question is about using case statement in where clause to check for date and assign values to columns. My sample code include.
select * from table
where
column 1 > 10 and
case when column 2 = 1
then
column 3<= 10 and column 4 between (1st day of prev month) and (prev month end) or column 5 = '8888-01-01'
else
column 4 between (1st day of this month) and (yesterday)
end ;
when I am running this code. I am getting 3706 syntax error:expected something in between field and '='.
How to fix this ?
A CASE statement will always return a value or NULL (if none of the conditions matches), so you can use it in your WHERE clause. There are a couple ways to format your CASE statement:
Format 1
CASE
WHEN <condition> THEN <some_expression>
WHEN <another_condition> THEN <another_expression>
ELSE <final_expression>
END
-- Example
CASE
WHEN col1 = 10 THEN 'Y'
WHEN col1 = 20 THEN 'N'
ELSE 'N/A'
END
Format 2
CASE <expression>
WHEN <value> THEN <expression>
WHEN <another_value> THEN <another_expression>
ELSE <final_expression>
END
-- Example
CASE col1
WHEN 10 THEN 'Y'
WHEN 20 THEN 'N'
ELSE 'NA'
END
I'm not sure what you're trying to do with your sample code, but it looks more like pseudo-code and will not work as-is. Your CASE statement is not formatted properly and your column references like column 1 will not work that way. If your column is actually named column 1, then you need to put double-quotes around it:
select * from table where "column 1" > 10
Can you please describe a little more clearly what exactly you are trying to do?
A CASE expression can't be used to create some kind of dynamic conditions. Write it as a bunch of AND/OR conditons:
select * from table
where
column 1 > 10 and
(
( column 2 = 1 and
(column 3<= 10 and column 4 between (1st day of prev month) and (prev month end) or column 5 = '8888-01-01')
)
or
column 4 between (1st day of this month) and (yesterday)
);
Double check the logic, the precedence of logical operators is
parenthesis
NOT
AND
OR

Transpose rows to columns in SQLite

I have data like this:
I am trying to transform it to this (using SQLite). In the desired result, within each id, each start should be on the same row as the chronologically closest end. If an id has a start but no end (like id=4), then the corresponding end, will be empty (as shown below).
I have tried this
select
id,
max( case when start_end = "start" then date end) as start,
max(case when start_end = "end" then date end ) as end
from df
group by id
But the result is this, which is wrong because id=5 only have one row, when it should have two:
id start end
1 2 1994-05-01 1996-11-04
2 4 1979-07-18 <NA>
3 5 2010-10-01 2012-10-06
Any help is much appreciated
CREATE TABLE mytable(
id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
,start_end VARCHAR(5) NOT NULL
,date DATE NOT NULL
);
INSERT INTO mytable(id,start_end,date) VALUES (2,'start','1994-05-01');
INSERT INTO mytable(id,start_end,date) VALUES (2,'end','1996-11-04');
INSERT INTO mytable(id,start_end,date) VALUES (4,'start','1979-07-18');
INSERT INTO mytable(id,start_end,date) VALUES (5,'start','2005-02-01');
INSERT INTO mytable(id,start_end,date) VALUES (5,'end','2009-09-17');
INSERT INTO mytable(id,start_end,date) VALUES (5,'start','2010-10-01');
INSERT INTO mytable(id,start_end,date) VALUES (5,'end','2012-10-06');
select
s.id as id,
s.date as 'start',
min(e.date) as 'end' -- earliest end date from "same id&start"
from
-- only start dates
(select id, date
from intable
where start_end='start'
) as s
left join -- keep the start-only lines
-- only end dates
(select id, date
from intable
where start_end='end'
) as e
on s.id = e.id
and s.date < e.date -- not too early
group by s.id, s.date -- "same id&start"
order by s.id, s.date; -- ensure sequence
Left join (to keep the start-only line for id "4") two on-the-fly tables, start dates and end dates.
Take the minimal end date which is just higher than start date (same id, using min()and group by.
Order by id, then start date.
I tested this on a test table which is similar to your dump, but has no "NOT NULL" and no "PRIMARY KEY". I guess for this test table that is irrelevant; otherwise explain the effect, please.
Note:
Internally three pairs of dates for id 5 (those that match end>start) are found, but only those are forwarded with the lowest end (min(end)) for each of the two different combinations of ID and start group by ID, start. The line where end>start but end not being the minimum is therefor not returned. That makes two lines with start/end pairs as desired.
Output (with .headers on):
id|start|end
2|1994-05-01|1996-11-04
4|1979-07-18|
5|2005-02-01|2009-09-17
5|2010-10-01|2012-10-06
UPDATE: Incorporate helpful comments by #MatBailie.
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to do, only with a few changes:
SELECT
s.value AS 'url',
"AVGDATE" AS 'fieldname',
sum(e.value)/count(*) AS 'value'
FROM
(SELECT url, value
FROM quicktag
WHERE fieldname='NAME'
) AS s
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT url, substr(value,1,4) AS value
FROM quicktag
WHERE fieldname='DATE'
) AS e
ON s.url = e.url
WHERE e.value != ""
GROUP BY s.value;
I had a table like this:
url fieldname value
---------- ---------- ----------
1000052801 NAME Thomas
1000052801 DATE 2007
1000131579 NAME Morten
1000131579 DATE 2005
1000131929 NAME Tanja
1000131929 DATE 2014
1000158449 NAME Knud
1000158449 DATE 2007
1000158450 NAME Thomas
1000158450 DATE 2003
I needed to correlate NAME and DATE in columns based on url as a key, and generate a field with average DATE grouped by multiple NAME fields.
So my result looks like this:
url fieldname value
---------- ---------- ----------
Thomas AVGDATE 2005
Morten AVGDATE 2005
Tanja AVGDATE 2014
Knud AVGDATE 2007

MS Access Group by query by n records

Does anybody know how to do a group by query by n records.
For example if I have a db with xn records I would like to aggregate the first 3 and then the next 3 and so on.
Where {x,n member of positive integers excluding 0} :)
Thanks
This does exactly what you want :
SELECT int(((T.Rank - 1) / 3)) AS GroupID, SUM(T.field_to_agregate)
FROM
(
SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM your_table AS T2 WHERE T1.ID>T2.ID) + 1 AS Rank , ID, field_to_agregate
FROM your_table AS T1
) T
GROUP BY int(((T.Rank - 1) / 3))
However since you did not posted any data sample and table structure (mistake!), I had to suppose that you have an ID field in your table, if not you will have to adapt it. If you don't suceed add more info about your data and I will adapt my query to match your table struct

Convert Columns to ROW

I am stuck with this requirement -
I have some data in the format
(Entries now show data for both periods (Jan. 2011) and (Feb. 2011) on the same line as apposed to appearing separately).
At the end I need to print the data using dbms_output.put_line command.
I am using Oracle 10.2g.
Oracle 10g does not have a PIVOT function but you can convert the rows of data into columns using an aggregate function with a CASE expression. The basic syntax would be:
select d.id,
d.site,
d.entrance,
sum(case when d.date = 'Jan.2011' then enters else 0 end) "Jan.2011",
sum(case when d.date = 'Feb.2011' then enters else 0 end) "Feb.2011"
from
(
select id, site, entrance, date, enters
from yourdata
) d
group by d.id, d.site, d.entrance;
Note: you can replace the subquery with yourdata with your current query.
