How to do an =Countif( in Business Objects - business-objects

I am trying to count the number of times a particular "Policy Status Code" occurs in a dataset. I can get the report to do this count but only by writing along, and ridiculously complex formula. I want to get BOBJ to essentially do a =countif(Dataset[Policy Status Code], Result[Policy Status Code])
Current semi-functional report
I wrote an 11 part nested if statement but it will break if I get a policy status code that I didn't account for.

If I am understanding your requirement correctly there is most certainly an easier way. You should be able to just create a Var Policy Count variable to count the policy numbers like this...
=Count([Policy Number])
I used eFashion data for my example and created a Var Store Count variable corresponding to your Var Policy Count variable...
=Count([Store name])
Here is the result.
No complicated If statement and new values will be counted without issue.

How to get a value of cell based on condition from 2nd group in same tablix in RDLC report

I am working with RDLC report, where I have a very specific customer requirement to print a summary at the end of Report.
Please refer to image below for clear understanding:
Report summary is generated based on two Groups: Resource (No), and Task Wage Type.
1st tablix group = No.
2nd tablix group = Task Wage Type.
I need to generate an average per resource where:
Average = Total Cost / Quantity (where Task Wage Type = Hourly Task Wage)
So, I am working on extracting the value for Quantity where Task Wage Type = Hourly Task Wage and show it in Total Column for each group.
How can I achieve this?
Currently I have written this expression to achieve results, but its throwing an error as shown in picture above
=Sum(CDec(Fields!Total_Cost.Value), "Resource_No1")/Sum(IIF(UCase(Fields!WT_TaskWageType.Value)="HOURLY TASK WAGE", CDec(Fields!Quantity.Value), 1), "Resource_No1")
Finally my RDLC tablix image is shown below where I have two groups
How to resolve this error?
I can't see too much wrong with your expression so I would try to simplify things and build each part of the expression up until you get an error.
Two points though...
You should not need to specify the scope "Resource_No1" as it appears that the textbox is already within the correct scope (it's in he Resource_No1 group's rows).
Also, you appear to be adding 1 into your sum amount when the task wage type does not match your criteria. You should use 0 or nothing there instead I guess.
You could just try this to start with and then if that does not work, build up each part of the expression slowly.
=Sum(Fields!Total_Cost.Value)
/
Sum(IIF(UCase(Fields!WT_TaskWageType.Value)="HOURLY TASK WAGE",
Fields!Quantity.Value,
Nothing)
)
If you still get errors, try returning just the second part of the expression and see what you get.
I just tried this on a similar setup and it worked as expected.

Trouble creating nested SUM IIF expression in SSRS

I am new to SSRS and have a SUM(IIF question.
My data set contains four columns: Date, GroupID, PlanPaid, and NetworkIndicator.
Here is an example of the data set:
I am trying to SUM the [PlanPaid] amount when [NetworkIndicator] = "In Network".
However, I need this amount broken up by the [Date]. I tried accomplishing this by creating the expression:
=Sum(IIf(Fields!NetworkIndicator.Value = "In Network"
, Fields!PlanPaid.Value
, Nothing)
, "Claims_Rolling12")
But this expression returns the same amount (total) across all [Dates]. How do I break it up so that it is grouped by the correct [Date]?
Here is a photo of my Tablix and my current Groups: [Tablix and Groups]
And here is a photo of the output: [Output]
You haven't said where you want this sum to appear, so the answer here might not work. If it doesn't then edit your question to show what you expect the output to look like based on your sample data.
I'm assuming here that you want to add a new column to the report that shows "In Network total" by date.
The easiest way to do this is to add a row group that groups by date, then within this group you can use a simple expression, like the one you tried, but without specifying the scope.
=SUM(IIF(Fields!NetworkIndicator.Value = "In Network", Fields!PaidPlan.Value, Nothing))
This expression will only sum rows that are within the current scope, in this case the scope will be the row group you created to group by dates.
As IO said, if this is not helpful, edit your question and show what you expect your end result to look like, based on the sample data you supplied and then I can look at it again.

Trying to pull Max date less than Date on the row

I know this is a tough one but I'm basically trying to say. Give me a service call and its completion date, then give me the Max date for all service calls where the date is less than the date of the service call I'm inquiring about.
Basically the end result I'm looking for is to say was there another service call on this piece of equipment that was within the last 30 days.
So as you can see in the image for say Asset 50698 service call 579032 we have a date of 11/9/2020 the call below that was 10/22/2020 which was less than 30 days. I want to somehow find a way to count how many service calls I have where this has occurred. Is this possible?
I think you're looking for a context operator In, ForEach or ForAll (in in this case)
Add a variable "MaxAssetDate" and assign it a Formula similar to the following based on your column headers.
=Max([Service Call Completion Date] In ([Asset ID];[Service Call])) In (Asset ID])
Then add this as a column. Provided you have a prompt filtering for a given asset or "date" this column will then show the max date for each service call of the same asset ID. Then add a new variable: ServiceCallDaysDiff: Then by using DatesBetween() with "MaxAssetDate" and ServiceCallCompletionDate and DayPeriod; =DatesBetween([ServiceCallCompletionDate];[MaxAssetDate];DayPeriod) you should get a number 0-X. Then add a filter based if the number is between 1 and 30 then you show those records, otherwise hide the rest; or do whatever logic is then needed.
Now if you're dealing with hundreds of thousands of records this isn't ideal as you're putting all the processing on the webi engine when it ideally would occur as an object in the database layer. However if you only have a few thousand records this should be managable.
To add a count of service calls...
add variable: ServiceCallsCount:
=Sum(Sum(If([ServiceCallDaysDiff]=0;0;1)) In ([AssetID]))
this will count the non zero day differents. Note this will extend beyond 30 so if you want to limit by 30 days adjust the if statement to zero out those not between 1 and 30.
This is but one approach: there may be simpler ways.

Conditional Aggregate Lookup - SSRS

I have a report with two datasets to summarise the number and value of incomplete orders by status. I have a "Back Order" column, which is using the 'Lookup' function to refer to a second database, based on a whether the Fields!IsBackorder.Value returns true. This works at line level, but I've run into issues at the aggregate level.
For the total count of orders, this forumula works:
=SUM(IIF(LOOKUP(Fields!SalesOrderID.Value, Fields!SalesOrderID.Value, Fields!IsBackorder.Value, "DstBackorders") = "TRUE",1,0))
However, for the total value of orders ("Fields!NetValue.Value"), this returns '#Error'
=SUM(IIF(LOOKUP(Fields!SalesOrderID.Value, Fields!SalesOrderID.Value, Fields!IsBackorder.Value, "DstBackorders") = "TRUE",Fields!NetValue.Value,0))
I've tried custom aggregate functions but I haven't found any that work. I'm not sure how I'm getting this error.
Any suggestions would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Report Screenshot
The syntax looks perfectly fine , also the lookup looks good , can you please check on the below things in your DataSet:
Is Fields!NetValue.Value in scope of the current DataSet.
Are we using the correct data type for Fields!NetValue.Value(Something which is aggregatable , like int , decimal etc.)

MS Access - Use result from query to calculate field value

I'm trying to pull some data from a query in my database into a calculated field in a table. I have dates entered for some jobs I'm recording (DateCallOpened, DateQuoteSent, DateQuoteReceived), as well as WorkType for each job to track the type of work done. I've used calculated fields to find the time it took for each record between those dates. I've also used qryTimings to find the average length of time for the WorkType.
I'd like to build fields that showed the ProjectedQuoteSent, and use the data from my query to calculate the date I can expect the quote to be sent, but I just can't figure out how to pull that data out of the query. I was hoping it would be something as simple as:
=[DateCallOpened]+[qryTimings]:[Avg Of TimeToSendQuote]
You can use a DLookup() function to grab your value from your query. So your formula would be something like:
=[DateCallOpened]+DLookup("Avg Of TimeToSendQuote", "qryTimings", _
"[WorkType]=" & [Forms]![frmMyForm]![txtWorkTypeInput])
