I have a calculated field in one of my reports:
=IIf(Fields!Log_Total.Value > 0, (Fields!Log_Cost.Value + Fields!Labor_Cost.Value + Fields!Part_Cost.Value + Fields!Other_Costs.Value) / Fields!Log_Total.Value, 0)
As far as everything I have seen this is the correct syntax for what I am trying to accomplish, which is basically, check for zero, if not zero, add these and divide by this. When I run the report the field just comes out as #ERR. All the fields above are a part of the dataset, which I know is working fine. Please help
The expression itself seems to be fine. Otherwise you'd be getting an error right away when launchung the report.
Do one or more fields in the sum have the value null in the data source? In that case, the sum might not work.
Are you sure all the values actually have numeric types? Make sure that none of them is returned as a string or something from the database.

I have a query I am writing that examines an ID field and derives an ID number from that column based on several criteria. Now that I have its logic written, I want to run the query on each criteria to see if the logic is working. So, the last part of my query for doing so is as follows:
FROM TABLE1
WHERE SOURCE_SYSTEM_NM = 'XYZ' AND ((STRLEFT(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID,4)) NOT IN ('23CC','21CC'))
LIMIT 10000
Essentially what I am trying to do here is tell it to return to me only items with SOURCE_SYSTEM_NM equal to 'XYZ', while eliminating any with a SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID not having the first 4 characters equal to '21CC' or '23CC'. I have a third criteria I want to filter on as well, which is that the first three characters must be '0CC'.
My problem when I run this is I get back an "Invalid Position" error. I removed one of the strings from the criteria, and it works. So, I decided to add the second in its own 'NOT IN...' clause with an AND between them, but that resulted in the same error.
If I had to guess, the NOT IN ('21CC','23CC') puts an AND between them and I think that must be the root of my issue. The criteria in my CASE statement derives the ID number with the following:
WHEN (M_CRF_CU_PRODUCT_ARRANGEMENT.SOURCE_SYSTEM_NM) IN ('XYZ') AND STRLEFT(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID, 4) IN ('23CC','21CC') THEN STRRIGHT(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID, LENGTH(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID)-4)
WHEN (M_CRF_CU_PRODUCT_ARRANGEMENT.SOURCE_SYSTEM_NM) IN ('XYZ') AND STRLEFT(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID, 3) IN ('0CC') THEN STRRIGHT(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID, LENGTH(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID)-3)
WHEN (M_CRF_CU_PRODUCT_ARRANGEMENT.SOURCE_SYSTEM_NM) IN ('XYZ') AND (STRLEFT(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID, 4) NOT IN ('23CC','21CC') OR STRLEFT(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID, 3) NOT IN ('0CC')) THEN (SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID)
So with that, I am just trying to check each criteria to make sure the ID derived/created is correct. I need to filter down to get results for that last WHEN statement above, but I keep getting that "Invalid Position" in my WHERE statement at the end. I am using Aginity to run this query and it's running against an IBM Netezza database. Thanks in advance!
I figured out what the issue was on this - when performing
STRRIGHT(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID, LENGTH(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID)-4)
There are some of those Arrangement IDs that do not have 4 characters, thus I was getting an "Invalid Position". I fixed this by updating this query to use substring() instead:
SUBSTRING(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID,5,LENGTH(SOURCE_ARRANGEMENT_ID))
This fixed my issue. Just wanted to post an answer in case others have this issue. It s not Netezza specific, this will react this way with any SQL variant.
This seems like a very simple question, however, I am still not getting rid of the Data Type Mismatch. Scenario:
-> Excel File link in as table [tbl_Mast_CC_List], I convert the possible Cost Center Numbers into Values for safety via query, there are NO text variables in the Cost Center or preceding 000's, next arrow
-> qry_CC_Clean is CostCenter:Val([tbl_Mast_CC_List.CostCenter])
-> then I create the Unmatched Query, here is the SQL:
SELECT
qry_CC_S1_Clean_F2F_Alloc.DataName
, qry_CC_S1_Clean_F2F_Alloc.Year
, qry_CC_S1_Clean_F2F_Alloc.CostCenter
FROM qry_CC_S1_Clean_F2F_Alloc
LEFT JOIN qry_CC_S1_Clean_Mast_CC_List
ON qry_CC_S1_Clean_F2F_Alloc.CostCenter = qry_CC_S1_Clean_Mast_CC_List.CostCenter
WHERE (((qry_CC_S1_Clean_Mast_CC_List.CostCenter) Is Null))
ORDER BY qry_CC_S1_Clean_F2F_Alloc.CostCenter;
The only time I can get it to work is if I make table of the query and I don't really want to do that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I have to run this unmatched query against numerous tables to make sure the company is not missing any cost centers rolling through. Thank you!
Your problem is likely due to using the val() function and trying to test it against nulls. My understanding is that val() doesn't return nulls, it returns 0 when it can't find anything. You might be better off running the conversion in the opposite direction, i.e. using CStr() on the numeric CostCenter field and comparing that to the text data from Excel.
Alternately you could change the Excel field itself to a number format instead of text.
Alright so I understand the point of the HAVING clause. I am having an issue and I am wondering if I can solve this the way I want to.
I want to execute one query using ADODB.Recordset and then use the Filter function to sift through the data set.
The problem is the query at the moment which looks like this:
SELECT tblMT.Folder, tblMT.MTDATE, tblMT.Cust, Sum(tblMT.Hours)
FROM tblMT
GROUP BY tblMT.Folder, tblMT.MTDATE, tblMT.Cust
HAVING tblMT.Cust LIKE "TEST*" AND Min(tblMT.MTDATE)>=Date()-30 AND MAX(tblMT.MTDATE)<=Date()
ORDER BY tblMT.TheDATE DESC;
So the above works as expected.... however I want to be able to use the tblMT.Cust as the filter without having to keep re querying the database. If I remove it I get a:
Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
Is what I am trying to do possible? If someone can point me in the right direction here would be great.
Ok... the type mismatch is caused because either tblmt.mtdate isn't a date field or tblmt.hours isn't a number field AND you have data that either isn't a date or isn't a number when the customer isn't like 'TEST*'. Or, for some customers, you have a NULL in mt.date and null can't be compared with >=. you'd still get the error if you said where tblMt.cust not like "TEST*" too.
Problem is likely with the data or your expectation and you need to handle it.
What data types are tblMT.hours and tblMt.MtDate?
I am pulling information via a query in access. Below is my code. The results populate when the "Pinacle Type" is "DOM" or "BOOK", but if the type is anything else, as stated by the IIF statement, I get #Error.
5_BeneBankID: IIf([Pinacle_Type]="DOM" Or "BOOK",Mid(Replace(Replace([BeneABA]," ",""),"-",""),1,11),Mid(Replace(Replace([Intl_BeneBankID]," ",""),"-",""),1,11))
Embedded in this statement is are also formatting parts but those work for the first instance. The BeneABA field is a bank ABA number so this is always numeric. The Intl_BeneBankID is what is known as a SWIFT code which is either all alpha or alphanumeric. Both have a maximum length of 11 characters.
Also, If I type the following, the Intl_BeneBankID POPULATES! which is why I am stumped:
5_BeneBankID: Intl_BeneBankID
relevant table
I'm not sure, as your description of the problem seems vague to me, but if you are getting #error on some rows, but not all, you probably have null fields in your data. This is a common problem in test data, not so often in production code, but needs to be handled. Try wrapping the fields with Nz() i.e. ((Replace(Nz([Intl_BeneBankID],"")... and see what you get.
I am working on a Attendance table in Access, where I have InTime and OutTime. These fields are of Date/Time Field.
Some records contains only Time like 11:40:00, some contain Date as well as time like 21-07-2015 11:45:00. Hence have used the below code for getting hours worked.
HrsPresent: Round(DateDiff("n",TimeValue(TimeSerial(Hour([TimeIn]),Minute([TimeIn]),Second([TimeIn]))),TimeValue(TimeSerial(Hour([TimeOut]),Minute([TimeOut]),Second([TimeOut]))))/60,2)
Using this above code, in a Column in making query gives correct Number of hours worked, but if any of the field is blank, i get #error in result.
I have tried using Nz , IsError, IsNumeric but all in Vain.
What is it that, I am doing wrong?
Is other way of getting hours worked?
You basically just need to make sure that both of the needed fields aren't blank before performing your calculation. You could do this using two IIF statements. If one field is blank then you simply assign a default value or handle it how you want.
In my example the default is zero, I have to warn you though this was done free hand and I am not super confident that my brackets line up properly. Also I am sorry that it is all on one line, I couldn't think of a logical way to break it down.
HrsPresent: IIF(Nz([TimeIn],"") = "", 0, IIF(Nz([TimeOut],"") = "", 0, Round(DateDiff("n",TimeValue(TimeSerial(Hour([TimeIn]),Minute([TimeIn]),Second([TimeIn]))),TimeValue(TimeSerial(Hour([TimeOut]),Minute([TimeOut]),Second([TimeOut]))))/60,2)))
