I have what is simple data and I want to return the Home or Motor if a find search returns True.
For Example
Skills Type
I Home Sr
A Mot Pre
Type is my custom column
Starting with just returning True and it fails right here with
=FIND("Home",[Skills])
With
Calculation error in column 'Table1'[]: The search Text provided to
function 'FIND' could not be found in the given text.
Ultimately I want to use If Find is "Home" Return Home if "Motor" return Motor
Desired Output (please note there are other starting variations to the Skills so cannot use a fixed search point in text)
Skills Type
I Home Sr Home
A Mot Pre Motor
Use the following expression for Type column:
=
IF (
IFERROR ( SEARCH ( "Mot*", [Skills], 1, 0 ), 0 ),
"Motor",
IF ( IFERROR ( SEARCH ( "Hom*", [Skills], 1, 0 ), 0 ), "Home", "Nothing" )
)
It will generate Home or Motor for any occurrence of Hom* and Mot*, note the * wildcard
It should produce:
The screenshot shows the table generated in Power BI, but this solution works in PowerPivot too, I don't have access to PowerPivot in this moment.
Note if any occurrence is not found it will put "Nothing" in your
Type column so you can replace "Nothing" by the string you want to
appear in that case.
SEARCH function documentation can be read here.
Let me know if this helps.

I'm trying to select the latest date of a material movement from MSEG, but the material needs to be in stock and that is sourced from a bespoke table which uses unconverted Material names.
I've tried using the CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT' (and INPUT) but I'm not sure how to properly utilize it in a select statement.
IF MSEG-BWART = '101'.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = ZBJSTOCK-ZMAT10
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = WA2-MATNR.
SELECT MAX( BUDAT_MKPF )
FROM MSEG
INTO GRDT
WHERE MATNR = WA2-MATNR.
ENDIF.
Currently, WA2-MATNR seems to come out as blank and therefore is not pulling the data from MSEG.
You shouldn't use conversion exit here. Material number in SAP tables lays in internal (INPUT) format and you are converting it into readable format (OUTPUT) in order to query table. It is obvious you will not find anything.
Sample:
MATNR internal format (for OUT exits)
000000000000025567
MATNR external format (for IN exits)
25567
Conversions cases:
000000000000025567 -> CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT -> 25567 ✔️
25567 -> CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT -> 25567 ❌ nothing changes
25567 -> CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT -> 000000000000025567 ✔️
000000000000025567 -> CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT -> 000000000000025567 ❌ nng changes
Most likely, your bespoke table contains faulty material number so exit doesn't return anything. Or material number in format that exit doesn't expect, e.g. 19 characters instead of 18 and so on.
P.S.
Just for you info, you can use templates for conversion. It is the same as calling conversion FMs
SELECT SINGLE matnr FROM mara INTO #DATA(l_matnr) WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM mseg WHERE matnr = mara~matnr ).
l_matnr = | { l_matnr ALPHA = OUT } |. <<-- templating
SELECT SINGLE matnr, budat_mkpf
FROM mseg
INTO #DATA(l_mkpf)
WHERE matnr = #l_matnr.
In the above sample SELECT will not return anything, but if you comment out the template line it will.
Unless you’ve added code into the user exits in that function, it’s not going to do what you want. The standard purpose of that function is to format the material number for display on the screen.
The quickest way to do what you want is to select from your custom table to do the lookup.
That said, there is a user exit in that function where you can code the select to do the lookup. The extra benefit of doing that is that your users will be able to type in the legacy material number and the system will switch it with the new one.
I encounter some problems that i don't understand with APEX.... Well, let's be specific.
I ve got a select element retrieving a top 50 of most liked url (P11_URL). This is populate by a table view, TOp_Domains.
I create an element called "Context" that have to print all text containing the URL selected by the user from the element select. Those Texts come from another table, let's say "twitter_post".
I create a dynamic action (show only) with this sql/statement:
Select TXT, NB_RT, RANK
from myschema.twitter_post
where TXT like '%:P11_URL%'
group by TXT, NB_RT, RANK
.... and it doesn't work... I think APEX don't like like clause... But i don't know how to do. Let's keep in min an url could have been shared by multiple Tweets, that's why this element "context" is important for me.
I tried to bypass the problem by building a State (in french Statique) and a dynamic action that will refresh the state but it doesn't work neither... bouhououououou
TriX
Right click on the 'P11_URL' and create DA. Event :change, Item:P11_URL. As the true action of the DA, select 'Set Value'. Write your query in the sql stmt area. In the page items to submit, select 'P11_URL' . In the 'Affected Items': select 'Context'.
Query should be :
Select TXT, NB_RT, RANK
from myschema.twitter_post
where TXT like '%' || :P11_URL || '%'
group by TXT, NB_RT, RANK
So
Thanks to #Madona... Their example made me realised my mistake. I wrote the answer here for futher help if somebody encouter the same porblem.
A list select element get as arguments a display value (the one you want to be shown in your screen.... if you want so....^^ ) and a return value (in order, I think to linked dynamic actions). So to solved my problem i had to shape my sql statement as:
select hashtags d, hastags r
from my table
order by 1
[let s say that now in Apex it s an object called P1_HASHTAGS]
First step problem solving.
In fact, the ranking as second value, as i put into my sql statement was making some mitsakens into my 'Where like' clause search... well... Newbie am i!
Second step was to correctly formate the sql statement receiving the datas from my select lov (P1_HASHTAGS) into my interactive report. As shown here:
Select Id, hashtags
from my table
where txt like '%'||:P1_HASHTAGS||'%'
And it works!
Thank you Madona your example helped me figure my mistakes!
I'm looking for a db2 function that does a text contain search. At present I am running the following query against the data below....
SELECT distinct
s.search_id,
s.search_heading,
s.search_url
FROM repman.search s, repman.search_tags st
WHERE s.search_id = st.search_id
AND ( UPPER(s.search_heading) LIKE (cast('%REPORT%' AS VARGRAPHIC(32)))
OR (UPPER(st.search_tag) LIKE cast('%REPORT%' AS VARGRAPHIC(32)))
)
ORDER BY s.search_heading;
Which returns...
But if I change the search text to %REPORTS% rather than %REPORT% (which I need to do) the like search does not work and I get zero results.
I read a link that used a function named CONTAINS like below but when trying to use the function I get an error.
SELECT distinct
s.search_id,
s.search_heading,
s.search_url
FROM repman.search s, repman.search_tags st
WHERE s.search_id = st.search_id
AND CONTAINS(s.search_heading, 'REPORTS') = 1
Has anynoe got any suggestions? I'm on db2 version DB2/LINUXPPC 9.1.6.
Thanks
In order to look for a pattern in a string, you can use Regular Expressions. They are built-in DB2 with xQuery since DB2 v9. There are also other ways to do that. I wrote an article in my blog (in Spanish that you can translate) about Regular Expressions in DB2.
xmlcast(xmlquery('fn:matches(\$TEXT,''^[A-Za-z 0-9]*$'')')
I am new to Pig Latin.
I want to extract all lines that match a filter criteria (have a word "line_token" ) from log files and then from these matching lines extract two different fields meeting two separate field match criteria . Since the lines aren't structured well I am loading them as a char array.
When I try to run the following code - I get an error
"Invalid resource schema: bag schema must have tuple as its field"
I have tried to perform an explicit cast to a tuple but that does not work
input_lines = LOAD '/inputdir/' AS ( line:chararray);
filtered_lines = FILTER input_lines BY (line MATCHES '.*line_token1.*' );
tokenized_lines = FOREACH filtered_lines GENERATE FLATTEN(TOKENIZE(line)) AS tok_line;
my_wordbag = FOREACH tokenized_lines {
word1 = FILTER tok_line BY ( $0 MATCHES '.*word_token1.*' ) ;
word2 = FILTER tok_line BY ( $0 MATCHES '.*word_token1.*' ) ;
GENERATE word1 , word2 as my_tuple ;
-- I also tried --> GENERATE (word1 , word2) as my_tuple ;
}
dump my_wordbag;
I suppose I am taking a very wrong approach.
Please note - my logs aren't structured well - so I cant mend the way I load
Post loading and initial filtering for lines of interest ( which is straightforward) - I guess I need to do something different rather than tokenize line and iterate through fields trying to find fields.
Or maybe I should use joins ?
Also if I know the structure of line beforehand well as all text fields, then will loading it differently ( not as a chararray) make it an easier problem ?
For now I made a compromise - I added a extra filter clause in my original - line filter and settled for picking just one field from line. When I get back to it I will try with joins and post that code ... - here's my working code that gets me a useful output - but not all that I want.
-- read input lines from poorly structured log
input_lines = LOAD '/log-in-dir-in-hdfs' AS ( line:chararray) ;
-- Filter for line filter criteria and date interested in passed as arg
filtered_lines = FILTER input_lines BY (
( line MATCHES '.*line_filter1*' )
AND ( line MATCHES '.*line_filter2.*' )
AND ( line MATCHES '.*$forDate.*' )
) ;
-- Tokenize every line
tok_lines = FOREACH filtered_lines
GENERATE TOKENIZE(line) AS tok_line;
-- Pick up specific field frm tokenized line based on column filter criteria
fnames = FOREACH tok_lines {
fname = FILTER tok_line BY ( $0 MATCHES '.*field_selection.*' ) ;
GENERATE FLATTEN(fname) as nnfname;
}
-- Count occurances of that field and store it with field name
-- My original intent is to store another field name as well
-- I will do that once I figure how to put both of them in a tuple
flgroup = FOREACH fnames
GENERATE FLATTEN(TOKENIZE((chararray)$0)) as cfname;
grpfnames = group flgroup by cfname;
readcounts = FOREACH grpfnames GENERATE COUNT(flgroup), group ;
STORE readcounts INTO '/out-dir-in-hdfs';
As I understand, after the FLATTEN operation, you have single line (tok_line) in each row and you want to extract 2 words from each line. REGEX_EXTRACT will help you achieve this. I'm not a REGEX expert so will leave writing the REGEX part up to you.
data = FOREACH tokenized_lines
GENERATE
REGEX_EXTRACT(tok_line, <first word regex goes here>) as firstWord,
REGEX_EXTRACT(tok_line, <second word regex goes here>) as secondWord;
I hope this helps.
You must refer to the alias, not the column.
So:
word1 = FILTER tokenized_lines BY ( $0 MATCHES '.*word_token1.*' ) ;
word1 and word2 are going to be aliases as well, not columns.
How do you need the output to look like?
I have 4 fields, docContent, visibility, docOwner and docType. I want to get all docType:ProfileDocument except those with visibility:1. But the owner of each document can say that his document with visibility:1 can be returned from the search result. The query bellow searches for asd, returning all documents that matches the term and their visibility is not 1 except for docOwner:390. The query works but the docType:ProfileDocument is repeated twice. How to refactor the query so docType:ProfileDocument be presented only once?
docContent:asd
AND(
(NOT visibility:1 AND docType:ProfileDocument)
OR ( docOwner:390 AND visibility:1 AND docType:ProfileDocument)
)
I tried this but I failed:
docContent:asd
AND(
(((NOT visibility:1)
OR ( docOwner:390 AND visibility:1))
AND docType:ProfileDocument)
)
The AND NOT operator cannot be used with just one term. For example, the following search will return no results:
AND NOT "jakarta apache"
