Hi All,

I have 2 data items one is measure and other is code like
[Booked Transactions]  &  [Revenue code]

I have many revenue codes like 'C1','C2','C5' etc
I want to get Booked Transactions for 3 of the revenue codes('C1','C2','C5' ).
so,
i created different data items as
[Booked Transactions]  for [Revenue code]='C1' 

but am getting expression pharsing error so pll help me out to how to write the expression inside.   

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

You have to add filter as Revenue code]='C1'  instead of creating Data item i guess.


Nandini.t

i want to get 3 columns of booked transactions for 3 different revenue codes. so filter condition doesnt work rite.

Yeah then try this code for each

if([Revenue code]='C1' ) then
([Revenue code] )

else
('')

Nandini.t

no, i want to get booked transaction for 3 diff revenue codes say i have 4 columns

policy no |  Booked transaction for 'C1' | Booked transaction for 'C2' | Booked transaction for 'C5'

Booked transaction for 'C1' = [Booked transaction] for [Revenue code]='C1'
Booked transaction for 'C2' = [Booked transaction] for [Revenue code]='C2'
Booked transaction for 'C6' = [Booked transaction] for [Revenue code]='C6'

Hi Prince,

i used case statement  but iam getting wrong result.

case
when
([Revenue Code]='C1')
then
[Booked Tax Original Amount]
else (0)
end

the thing is [Booked Transaction] contains the transaction for all the codes together.
if i check [Booked Transaction] seperately for each code like
[Booked Transaction]--( without any filter) >> {Booked Transaction=5,187.74}
[Booked Transaction] for C1---(with filter for C1)>>{Booked Transaction= 2,526.09}
[Booked Transaction] for C2---(with filter for C2)>>{Booked Transaction=2,483.73}
[Booked Transaction] for C6---(with filter for C6)>>{Booked Transaction=177.92}

[Booked Transctn]=[Booked Transaction] for C1+[Booked Transaction] for C2+[Booked Transaction] for C6
        5,187.74    = 2,526.09 +   2,483.73  +  177.92

so, how to extract data from booked transaction for each code for the same list.

what output its showing now ???
also you have put [Booked Tax Original Amount] instead of [Booked Transaction]. check it.

Nandini.t

instead of filtering the amount for each code its taking entire Booked Transaction in to a only one column.

K i will clear you the flow of report,

Based on branch selected the report output should give ploicy numbers with associated name and booked transactions of 3 columns( for c1, c2 and c6)

Each policy number will be related to 1 or 2 or 3 codes sometimes.

for a policy number 'X' Report should like below

Policy no | Name  | Booked Trans | Booked Trans for C1 | Booked Trans for C2 | Booked Trans for C6
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   X         |    A       | 5,187.74         |    2,526.09                |    2,483.73                         |   177.92                 
              |             |                        |                                  |                                           |     


But the outoput iam getting is different if i use the case statement

Policy no | Name  | Booked Trans | Booked Trans for C1 | Booked Trans for C2 | Booked Trans for C6
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   X         |    A       | 5,187.74         |                 0                |    5,187.74                |   0                 
              |             |                        |                                   |                                   |     

So please suggest any ohther expression rather than case or if.

Hi Nandini,
                 Simple thing is used Cross tab  as
In  Columns            |Booked Trans |[Revenue Code]
also put  |Booked Trans | in Default measure
In Rows     Put  as         
  Policy no | Name|

so that it wil provide u total value in Booked Trans and also distributed by Revenue Code

Try and let me know

Nandini.t

Create three Query whith different filter (for C1,C2,C6) then Union these 3 Query. Use that final Query in the List.

Query1
------------
Policy no
Name
Booked Trans for C1 ..................................use filter for c1
Booked Trans for C2 (make it as 0)
Booked Trans for C6(make it as 0)

Query2
-------Policy no
Name
BooBooked Trans for C1 (make it as 0)
Booked Trans for C2 ........................................use filter for C2
Booked Trans for C6(make it as 0)

Query3
-----------
Policy no
Name
BooBooked Trans for C1 (make it as 0)
Booked Trans for C2 (make it as 0)
Booked Trans for C6..................................filter for C6

Union Query
--------------------
Policy no
Name
Booed Trans( BooBooked Trans for C1 +Booked Trans for C2+ Booked Trans for C6
Booked Trans for C1
Booked Trans for C2

Hi Nandini,

Lets try This

Create Query 1 with columns
Policy no ,
Name, Booked Trans,
and Calculation of If(Region code=q1) then (Booked Trans) else (0).

same way create Query 2 only change last calculation as (Code=Q2 )

then go to query explorer-> click on Queries

drag a Join add Query1 and Query2
double click on join condition -> create link to  Policy no to  Policy no and  Name to Name with 1.1 relation ship.

then double click on query 3 and add columns as required
Policy no -Query1
Name-Query 1
Booked Trans-Query 1
Calculation Q1- Query1
Calculation Q2-Query 2


same way create Query 4 with Remaining Calculation and join it with query 3. Drag Required  columns in Query 5 From Query 3 and 4.

Check its working or not
