I am trying to calculate the hours for each task list to generate only one line with all of the information given. I have input an excel file into Access and generated the following required information.
Task List ------- Hours --- Progress --- Time Logged --- Billable Hours
General Task ------10-----------0------------0------------------0----------
General Task -------8-----------0------------8-----------------20----------
General Task -------4----------100----------10------------------0----------
General Task -------0----------100----------20------------------0----------

And I would like to come up with the final output looking like this!
Each of the task lists combined with the hours, time logged, and billing time summed up. Progress would be summed up and divided by the entries (ex requirements progress is (100+50+75+0)/4=56.25 progress total)
Task List --------- Hours --- Progress --- Time Logged --- Billable Hours

I tried looking at Concatenating multiple rows into single line in MS Access
and working off some of the code there, but was unable to make it work... This is where I started but was getting the error "the SELECT statement includes a reserved word or argument..."
Concatenating multiple rows is not appropriate for this requirement. Use an aggregate query:
SELECT [Task List], Sum(Hours) AS SumHrs, Avg(Progress) AS AvgProg,
Sum([Time Logged]) AS SumTime, Sum([Billable Hours]) AS SumBill
FROM table
GROUP BY [Task List];
Could instead build a report with raw table as source and use report Sorting & Grouping features with aggregate calcs. Report allows display of detail records as well as summary data

For Active Collab team watching this tag.
I am working on a project that uses new Active Collab 5 API, I am having performance issue trying to run reports.
Example I try to build reports on date-range, and currently to achieve that I need to first run a call to get all projects.
Followed by a loop with this call:
API::get('/projects/'.$id.'/time-records/filtered-by-date?' . http_build_query(['from' => $from, 'to' => $to]))
However we have a large number of projects, in addition to high number of active projects we also need to filter Archived projects as well to get correct reports for billing.
Now I work with around 1500 projects in AC.
So I need to make 1500 API calls which takes a huge performance hit. Is there a way that you can possibly build something that would work along these lines.
API::get(/timerecords/filter-by-date);
with a possible passed parameter that will say (all, active, complited) project state.
Please let me know what you can do or if I have missed something in your documentation that already does this.
Thanks
What you need here is not a request that goes through all projects one by one, but a request that it tailored for cross-project reporting. Active Collab 5 has just the right API endpoint for that - /reports/run.
As an example, you can use this command to query time records and expenses from all active projects that were tracked today:
curl -H "X-Angie-AuthApiToken: YOUR-API-TOKEN" "http://your.activecollab.com/api/v1/reports/run?type=TrackingFilter&project_filter=active&tracked_on_filter=today"
Notice the route (/reports/run) and query arguments:
type - specify type of the report, in this case time and expense tracking report,
project_filter - specify project filter. Apart from active, other useful values of this filter are completed (for completed projects), selected_1,2,3,4 (selected projects with a list of project ID-s), client_1,2,3,4 (projects for clients with the given ID-s), category_1,2,3,4 (projects in categories with the given ID-s),
tracked_on_filter - filter by the date when records were tracked. To target a particular date use selected_date_YYYY-MM-DD and to target a date range use selected_range_YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD.
tracked_by_filter - filter by who tracked the time. It can have various values, like anybody, logged_user, selected_1,2,3.
To list only time records, set type_filter to time (or to expenses if you want only expenses to be listed).
I am new to Qlikview and after several failed attempts I have to ask for some guidance regarding charts in Qlikview. I want to create Line chart which will have:
One dimension – time period of one month broke down by days in it
One expression – Number of created tasks per day
Second expression – Number of closed tasks per day
Third expression – Number of open tasks per day
This is very basic example and I couldn’t find solution for this, and to be honest I think I don’t understand how I should setup my time period dimension and expression. Each time when I try to introduce more then one expression things go south. Maybe its because I have multiple dates or my dimension is wrong.
Here is my simple data:
http://pastebin.com/Lv0CFQPm
I have been reading about helper tables like Master Callendar or “Date Island” but I couldn’t grasp it. I have tried to follow guide from here: https://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-8642 but that only worked for one date (for me at least).
How should I setup dimension and expression on my chart, so I can count the ID field if Created Date matches one from dimension and Status is appropriate?
I have personal edition so I am unable to open qwv files from other authors.
Thank you in advance, kind regards!
My solution to this would be to change from a single line per Call with associated dates to a concatenated list of Call Events with a single date each. i.e. each Call will have a creation event and a resolution event. This is how I achieve that. (I turned your data into a spreadsheet but the concept is the same for any data source.)
Calls:
LOAD Type,
Id,
Priority,
'New' as Status,
date(floor(Created)) as [Date],
time(Created) as [Time]
FROM
[Calls.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1) where Created>0;
LOAD Type,
Id,
Priority,
Status,
date(floor(Resolved)) as [Date],
time(Resolved) as [Time]
FROM
[Calls.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1) where Resolved>0;
Key concepts here are allowing QlikView's auto-conatenate to do it's job by making the field-names of both load statements exactly the same, including capitalisation. The second is splitting the timestamp into a Date and a time. This allows you to have a dimension of Date only and group the events for the day. (In big data sets the resource saving is also significant.) The third is creating the dummy 'New' status for each event on the day of it's creation date.
With just this data and these expressions
Created = count(if(Status='New',Id))
Resolved = count(if(Status='Resolved',Id))
and then
Created-Resolved
all with full accumulation ticked for Open (to give you a running total rather than a daily total which might go negative and look odd) you could draw this graph.
For extra completeness you could add this to the code section to fill up your dates and create the Master Calendar you spoke of. There are many other ways of achieving this
MINMAX:
load floor(num(min([Date]))) as MINTRANS,
floor(num(max([Date]))) as MAXTRANS
Resident Calls;
let zDateMin=FieldValue('MINTRANS',1);
let zDateMax=FieldValue('MAXTRANS',1);
//complete calendar
Dates:
LOAD
Date($(zDateMin) + IterNo() - 1, '$(DateFormat)') as [Date]
AUTOGENERATE 1
WHILE $(zDateMin)+IterNo()-1<= $(zDateMax);
Then you could draw this chart. Don't forget to turn Suppress Zero Values on the Presentation tab off.
But my suggestion would be to use a combo rather than line chart so that the calls per day are shown as discrete buckets (Bars) but the running total of Open calls is a line
I have a .RDL report which I designed in BIDS and have deployed to my report server. The report asks for three parameters before viewing report: Year, Month and Customer ID. The report works great and does exactly what it is supposed to.
While I used to run each report individually because there were 2-3 customers, now there are 30+ customers who receive the report, so I wanted to switch to a more automated fulfillment method to get the reports generated. After doing some research it appears that a using Report Manager to create a "Data Driven Subscription" (DDS) using the "Windows File Share" option gives me the capabilities I need.
As part of creating the DDS, I created a table called [Subscription] which is a table containing one row for each customer receiving the report and has the following columns:
Year
Month
CustomerID
FileName
FileLocation
Overwrite
Format
...so through using the DDS Wizard in Report Manager, I was able to successfully set up a Data Driven Subscription (which is linked to various columns in the [Subscription] table) which creates a new report for each customer in the [Subscription] table, saves [and overwrites, if necessary] it in a location of my choosing as a PDF (specified in [Subscription].[FileLocation], or the FileLocation column of my table for each row), and runs every minute (I plan on changing frequency to once a week, eventually).
This works flawlessly, giving me a new set of 30 reports in the directory of my choosing, with each report having a name I assigned in the FileName column of my table. Exactly what I was looking for.
HERE'S THE PROBLEM: When I update the FileLocation or FileName (or anything, really) in the [Subscription] table - it doesn't pick up the changes right away. Sometimes it doesn't even pick it up at all (for example I updated the [ReportName] column for one customer from Report_711622 to SpecialReport_711622, so that the output file for that customer should be named SpecialReport_711622 while all of the other reports should be called Report_XXXXX [no Special prefix]. But the file name of report for Customer 711622 remains the same!
It's almost like the job only see's what it needs to do once a day, and then does not go back and reference the [Subscription] table until I leave for the night, then when I come back in the morning it picks up the change.
Since I am about to scale this process out to a large customer-base using a different report, I need to be able to make edits to the [Subscription] table and have them get picked up by the Data Driven Subscription immediately (and if not immediately, at least a fixed interval of time that I can adjust, so that I can know 100% when the change will get picked up).
Does anyone know what's causing my lag? How do I change it so that updates to the Subscription table get picked up regularly? I'm also having issues with creating new DDS on other reports (following the exact process outlined above) - I've created the subscriptions, for every minute, and it says they are running and the number of outputs match the number of customers with 0 errors, but there are no files in the drive I specified (or anywhere else I've looked, for that matter).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I think the answer lies in the mechanism SSRS uses. There are a few places "lag" can occur.
The subscription is in fact an SQL Agent job which creates a record in the Event table. This table is a queue that SSRS checks to do scheduled tasks.
There is a small amount of time between the moment the subscription creates the Event record and the moment SQL reads it and starts creating the dataset for your DDS. The creation of the DDS dataset takes some time, too. In this time, the subscription will be in the Pending state. If you change anything in the data during this time, The subscription will still use the old data as report parameters. So obviously you will not notice your change until the next scheduled run.
Which brings me to the following: if a subscription is still being run and the next schedule kicks in (chances are, because yours runs every minute), the engine will not execute it, but wait for the next subscription schedule, and so on. So that's another possibility of lag - and cause of missing reports for a certain schedule minute. The subscription processes reports sequentially, one row from your DDS recordset at a time. Again, this takes some time. You can also see that in the subscription window when it says: # of # processed.
I suggest you look at the Event table in the database ReportServer during an execution. Also the ExecutionHistory views (there are 3) may be interesting. A scheduled run shows up as a RequestType = 1 and generates one record for each report. You can see the exact timing and parameters of each report that is run in the subscription. You may be able to extract the data you need to resolve your other issues.

Could this "Double-Hop" problem be the source of my issues? I'm so stuck on this one!
The Double-Hop Problem - MSDN Knowledgecast
I am in a process of making OLAP cubes for data mining purposes.
The domain is Instruments which run tests and tests has status id's 1,2,3 which means ok, warning and error. I have already deployed the cube and its working perfectly.
My measure is the Sum of my tests. I have a timetable associated with the test table, for when the test was run.
I have four dimensions:
Instrument: which holds information about instrument.
Test: contains all the tests with information about the time it ran.
Status: contains the three status mentioned above.
Time: sort out tests in time
My question is, I have another status called 'NotRun'. Like the other statuses NotRun tests can not be saved in the database, but is calculated with a query.
Notrun is calculated by selecting all instruments from instrument table and then extract those instruments that are to find in test table within a given time period.
I want to use MDX to do the thing mentioned above, but instead of giving a time period i want the cube to handle that for me dynamically.
I don't want to pick a specific year instead i would like to take care of that with my time dimension dynamically.
where ([Date].[Calendar Year].&[2002])
I am really stucked. Any idea how we can acheive that in Business Studio Intelligence 2008?
All the best,
Hassan.
To answer the question "how do I get MDX to pick a date member by itself" see my answer at enter link description here
Or did you want Business Studio Intelligence to pop up a box and ask for the dates each time you run the report?
I need to implement a feature similar to the one provided by Microsoft Outlook to make your meeting appointment recurrent. I am trying to figure out the optimized Database design that I will be requiring for implementing this feature.
The requirement is something like that each run or task entered by the user will also be applicable for scheduling like a recurrent event - weekly, monthly or yearly. Could you please suggest me the Database model - table structure (with constraints) for storing these details in the DB which can be afterwards accessed by the program to do the appropriate task. Screenshots for some of the possible scheduler details can be found at the following link.
We have a mysql DB running at the backend for storing these details. As soon as the user submits a request, a request id with the details of the request is stored in the table and then a action corresponding to it is taken by the program. More clarification would be like that the users intent is to run a sql script,getting the values and then performing statistical analysis to it. But as the oracle reference DB is dynamically updated by many users, he wants to run it in a recurrent manner and get the analysis done. Note that the mysql db and the ref DB are different.
Please let me know if you require any other details.!
I would suggest storing the details of the first occurence in one table (scheduled tasks) and then the recurance (recurring tasks) details in another.
I might also then be tempted to update the scheduled task table with the next occurance as each task is completed.
As for the Table layout, a rough sketch would be as follows:
[ScehduledTasks]
TaskId (Primary Key)
Description and Details etc...
Start Datetime
End Datetime
[RecurringTasks]
TaskId (Foreign Key)
Frequency : Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly.
DayNo : What Day to run on (1-7 for weekly, 1-31 for monthly, 1-365 for yearly)
Interval : Every x weeks, months etc.
WeekOfMonth : first, second, third... etc If populated then DayNo specifies the day of the week.
MonthOfYear : 1-12.
EndDatetime : The last date to perform
Occurences : The number of times to perform. If this and the previous value are null then perform for ever.
Obvious certain fields would be blank depending on how the task was set up, but I think the above covers all you would need to emulate the tasks in Outlook.
