I have a data frame which I am trying to iterate through, however not based on time, but on an increase of 10 for example
Column A
Column B
12:05
1
13:05
6
14:05
11
15:05
16
so in this case it would return a new data frame with the rows with 1 and 11. How am I able to do this? The different methods that I have tried such as asfreq resample etc. don't seem to work. They say invalid frequency. The reason I think about this is that it is not time based. What is the function that allows me to do this that isn't time based but based on a numerical value such as 10 or 7. I don't want the every nth number, but every time the column value changes by 10 from the last selected value. ex 1 to 11 then if the next values were 12 15 17 21, it would be 21.
here is one way to do it
# do a remainder division, and choose rows where remainder is zero
# offset by the first value, to make calculation simpler
first_val = df.loc[0]['Column B']
df.loc[((df['Column B'] - first_val) % 10).eq(0)]
Column A Column B
0 12:05 1
2 14:05 11
To set the scene, what I define as identical rows are when the combination of destination and vehicle_brand are the same. For instance in the figure below,
SQL table name: cardriven
rows 2 and 3 are "identical" because of the Dallas-Toyota "combination." Now I want to only display the row with the higher request_id. So for example, between rows 2 and 3, row 3 would get displayed and row 2 would be hidden/removed because 169 > 100. So in the end, only rows 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 will show and rows 1, 2, 6, and 9 would get hidden/removed.
Hopefully you understand what I am going for here but if you have any questions, please let me know. This will be written in SQL code.
Another problem: I added a new column for dates and entered some random ones for rows 2-4. Row 2 is 12/1/17, row 3 is 11/5/2016, and row 4 is 7/6/2017. Note that row 3 has the highest request_id out of the Dallas-Toyota combination. I decided to enter a new entry in with a request_id = 501 and entry of Dallas, Toyota, and 12/22/2017. After running the program, for Dallas-Toyota I return row 3 but with request_id = 501! It SHOULD return the entry I just entered.
You can use Group By and the Max function to get the highest value.
SELECT MAX(request_id), destination, vehicle_brand
FROM cardriven
GROUP BY destination, vehicle_brand
I have the following Expression in a field in SSRS:
=iif(Fields!Score.Value > Previous(Fields!Score.Value),"Greater","Less Than")
I have the following Scores in my scenario across 4 rows:
3
3
4
5
It results in:
3 - Greater
3 - Less Than
4 - Greater
5 - Greater
The issue is with the first row always being Greater. It should be blank because there isn't a previous row to compare against. I would expect the results to be as follows:
3 -
3 - Same
4 - Greater
5 - Greater
How could I change the above formula to produce the above result?
The above is an example of only one row group. There are then further row groups with different Scores, so the different results of Same/Greater/Less Than need to work across the different row groups.
Try following:
=IIF(RowNumber(NOTHING)=1,"",IIF(Fields!Score.Value = Previous(Fields!Score.Value),"Same",IIF(Fields!Score.Value > Previous(Fields!Score.Value),"Greater","Less Than")))
modified. try now.
So I have a column with this data
1
1
1
2
3
4
5
5
5
how can I do a count if where the value at any given location in the above table is equal to a cell i select? i.e. doing Count([NUMBER]) Where([NUMBER] = Coordinates(0,0)) would return 3, because there are 3 rows where the value is one in the 0 position.
it's basically like in excel where you can do COUNTIF(A:A, 1) and it would give you the total number of rows where the value in A:A is 1. is this possible to do in business objects web intelligence?
Functions in WebI operate on rows, so you have to think about it a little differently.
If your intent is to create a cell outside of the report block and display the count of specific values, you can use Count() with Where():
=Count([NUMBER];All) Where ([NUMBER] = "1")
In a freestanding cell, the above will produce a value of "3" for your sample data.
If you want to put the result in the same block and have it count up the occurrences of values on that row, for example:
NUMBER NUMBER Total
1 3
1 3
1 3
2 1
3 1
4 1
5 3
5 3
5 3
it gets a little more complicated. You have to have at least one other dimension in the query to reference. It can be anything, but you have to be counting something in conjunction with the NUMBER dimension. So, the following would work, assuming there's another dimension in the query named [Duh]:
=Count([NUMBER];All) ForAll([Duh])
Let's say I have two columns.

In the first column, there is a number. With every one of those numbers, in the second column, is an associated ID. Now, there are some blank rows that do not contain any numbers in them.
Define one of these numbers to be a "daughter" of another number if the ID of the first number is the same as the ID of the second, with an extra digit on the end. For example, both IDs 11211 and 11212 are daughters of 1121, because the ID of 1121 has an extra digit, either a 1 or a 2, added onto the end to form the ID of its daughters. Thus, 1121 is the parent of both 11211 and 11212.
Here is what I want the macro to do. It must output a third column which contains, for every row, a cumulative sum of the number of the first column in that row, plus the parent number of that number, and the parent number of the parent number, etc. all the way up until it reachers either 11 or 12. It will begin by simply outputting the numbers in column 1 for 11 and 12 in the third column. Then, in a loop beginning with 111, it will add up the cumulative sum of every row (the number in that row plus the third column output of the parent), only if that row has a number and an id, and only if the parent exists and has an output in column 3. So for example, the number in the 3rd column of the row with ID 11222 should be the number in column 1 of that row, plus that of 1122, plus that of 112, plus that of 11. So, 0.17075+2.4518+0.92521+3.5463, or 7.09406. However, if you try to do this for ID 111221, you will notice that the row where the parent 11122 should be is empty. Thus, the parent does not exist, and no value will be outputted in column 3 for 111221.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone has some time on their hands to code up this VBA macro for me in exchange for an accepted solution.
Thanks
I don't think a macro is needed, just some formulas. First, I put a header on my columns of data, such as "value," and "id." If you then highlight the column labels (i.e., A and B) and sort by B ("id") then A ("value"), you'll group your blank rows. You can then delete those rows. Now you have the data almost ready. When I did this, I converted the id column to text, as opposed to a number value, so if I sort the table by id, the pattern will be, "11, 111, 1111," and so on, instead of, "11, 12, 111, 112, 121." Then, I added columns to separate the separate characters or levels of the ids. This is to help with parents and children. You can use text-to-columns, or a MID formula, but what I did was have 6 more columns to the right. For each id row, each column would either have a "1," a "2," or a blank (null) value. Then I added another column, calling it "level." I used a formula like COUNTA across all my id splitting columns. So, for 11, my level value was 2. 111 would be 3, 11221 would be 5, and so on. This gives me the id level (parent, child, grandchild, etc). Then I added my final column to the right to compute my cumulative sum of the values. In concept I have one big nested IF statement, but in practice, I needed two. My formula says, if the row above me has a lower level number (i.e., it is some kind of parent), add the value of the current row to the value of the above row. Otherwise, keep going up a row till I do get a parent, and add the current row value to that number.
My final formula for all but the first 5 rows of data was (in the 6th row of data):
=if(K6
rest of answer is below
=if(K6<K7,L6+C7,if(K5<K7,L5+C7,if(K4<K7,L4+C7,if(K3<K7,L3+C7,if(K2<K7,L2+C7,C7)))))
The values were column C, the original id in column D, the id split columns were E through J, the level column was K, and my formula was in L. This formula can be copied down the table. For the first 4 rows, you just need 1 less IF statement each row you go up. The fifth row of data might take the above formula; it depends how it will deal with the column headers in row one. The formula on the 4 row of data might be:
=if(K4<K5,L4+C5,if(K3<K5,L3+C5,if(K2<K5,L2+C5,if(K1<K5,L1+C5,C5))))
I'm still learning how to format these comments, so I'll try to provide a sample of the layout I have...
C D E F G H I J K L
1 value id 1 2 3 4 5 6 lvl cumul_sum
2 3.546300 11 1 1 2 3.546300
3 1.699300 111 1 1 1 3 5.245600
4 1.408200 1111 1 1 1 1 4 6.653800
5 1.370500 11111 1 1 1 1 1 5 8.024300
6 0.816310 111111 1 1 1 1 1 1 6 8.840610
7 0.918370 111112 1 1 1 1 1 2 6 8.942670
8 0.955700 11112 1 1 1 1 2 5 7.609500
So for example, the number in the 3rd column of the row with ID 11222 should be the number in column 1 of that row, plus that of 1122, plus that of 112, plus that of 11. So, 0.17075+2.4518+0.92521+3.5463, or 7.09406.However, if you try to do this for ID 111221, you will notice that the row where the parent 11122 should be is empty. Thus, the parent does not exist, and no value will be outputted in column 3 for 111221.
As a native worksheet array formula¹ in D1,
=IF(LEN(B1), SUM(SUMIFS(A$1:INDEX(A:A, MATCH(1E+99, A:A)),
B$1:INDEX(B:B, MATCH(1E+99, A:A)), LEFT(B1, ROW(INDIRECT("2:"&LEN(B1)))))), TEXT(,))
The above does not compensate for missing parents (null string). It totals everything it can find and uses zero for missing parents.
As a VBA UDF² in E1,
Function conditionalCumulativeSum(nums As Range, _
ids As Range, sib As Range, _
Optional nullOnBlank As Boolean = True)
Dim i As Integer
'truncate any full column reference to the UsedRange
Set nums = Intersect(nums, nums.Parent.UsedRange)
'match the nums and ids ranges
Set ids = ids.Resize(nums.Rows.Count, nums.Columns.Count)
For i = Len(sib.Value2) To 2 Step -1
If nullOnBlank And IsError(Application.Match(--Left(sib, i), ids, 0)) Then
conditionalCumulativeSum = vbNullString
Exit For
End If
conditionalCumulativeSum = conditionalCumulativeSum + _
Application.SumIfs(nums, ids, Left(sib, i))
Next i
If i = 0 Then conditionalCumulativeSum = vbNullString
End Function
The above defaults to return a null string when it encounters any missing parent through the hereditary chain. This can be turned off by adding FALSE as the optional fourth parameter and then the UDF will behave identically to the native formula.

¹ Array formulas need to be finalized with Ctrl+Shift+Enter↵. If entered correctly, Excel with wrap the formula in braces (e.g. { and }). You do not type the braces in yourself. Once entered into the first cell correctly, they can be filled or copied down or right just like any other formula. Try and reduce your full-column references to ranges more closely representing the extents of your actual data. Array formulas chew up calculation cycles logarithmically so it is good practise to narrow the referenced ranges to a minimum. See Guidelines and examples of array formulas for more information.
