COGNOS Report: COUNT IF - cognos

I am not sure how to go about creating a custom field to count instances given a condition.
I have a field, ID, that exists in two formats:
A#####
B#####
I would like to create two columns (one for A and one for B) and count instances by month. Something like COUNTIF ID STARTS WITH A for the first column resulting in something like below. Right now I can only create a table with the total count.
+-------+------+------+
| Month | ID A | ID B |
+-------+------+------+
| Jan | 100 | 10 |
+-------+------+------+
| Feb | 130 | 13 |
+-------+------+------+
| Mar | 90 | 12 |
+-------+------+------+

Define ID A as...
CASE
WHEN ID LIKE 'A%' THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
...and set the Default aggregation property to Total.
Do the same for ID B.

Apologies if I misunderstood the requirement, but you maybe able to spin the list into crosstab using the section off the toolbar, your measure value would be count(ID).

Try this
Query 1 to count A , filtering by substring(ID,1,1) = 'A'
Query 2 to count B , filtering by substring(ID,1,1) = 'B'
Join Query 1 and Query 2 by Year/Month
List by Month with Count A and Count B

EXCEL: How to automatically create groups based on sum being less than X and not greater than Y

I have table in Excel with some information, the main column is Weight (in KG).
I need Excel to group Rows into groups, where each group's sum of Weight (in KG) is less than 24000 kg and greater than 23500 kg.
To do so manually is very time consuming, since there are thousands of rows with different Weight values.
table example:
ID | Weight (KG)
1 | 11360
2 | 22570
3 | 10440
4 | 20850
5 | 9980
6 | 9950
7 | 19930
8 | 9930
9 | 9616
10 | 9580
... and so on
The closest I got to solving the problem is adding 3 new columns: Total, Starts Group and Group Number.
Total function: =IF(SUM(B3+C2)>24000,B3,SUM(B3+C2)) - calculates current sum of Weight values in the current group
Starts group function: =IF(SUM(B3+C2)>24000,B3,SUM(B3+C2)) - checks if current row makes a new group
Group number function: =IF(D3,E2+1,E2) - all rows that contain same number are in the same group
The problem with this is that it doesn't create groups that are greater than 23500 too, but only that are less than 2400 kg.
It doesn't have to be in Excel, any app/script would work too, it just has to get the job done.
Desired output:
ID | Weight (KG) | Group ID
1 | 11360 | 1
2 | 2570 | 2
3 | 10440| 1
4 | 20850 | 2
5 | 180| 2
6 | 1950 | 1
So i want to get groups similar to these:
Group number 1 - Total 23750kg
Group number 2 - Total 2360kg
Url to my example table with functions I added:
https://1drv.ms/x/s!Au0UogL2uddbgTFJJ4TzSKLhPFPE?e=r02sPX
You may want to try this for total:
=IF(SUM(B3+C2)>24000;B3;IF(SUM(B3+C2)<=23500;SUM(B3+C2);B3))
edit:
I just saw you pasted the proposal into your sample file. You may need to replace the ; with , due to regional format settings.
The limitation remains:
first priority is <24k and second priority is >=23.5k
If the next row’s value makes the “jump” above 24k you may end up remaining below 23.5k and switching to the next group
edit2:
You may want to look up some optimization models and algorithms for your combination problem before trying to implement it in Excel.
Or try with simple rules, e.g. categorizing your rows such as weight over 20k, 16k, 12k,8k, 4k, 2k, 1k, 500, etc. and try to group/combine them accordingly

Excel - Check if Value of Two Columns are new in a List and Passing a new ID to them

Good Morning,
I'm trying to formulate something in Excel that allow us to check if the value of two columns are new in a list, and if so, assign a new ID for them. If it's not, let it "Blank" or Assign the same ID that have been assigned before(Either way would work for me).
I'm trying to use something with Count.if, but it doesn't fit. As i'm thinking about this for some time, i decided to look for help.
What i want to do is a formula that solves the "Formula" Columns below:
Space|Name|*Formula*
1 | AB | 1
1 | AB | 1
1 | AB | 1
1 | CA | 2
2 | DD | 3
2 | EE | 4
2 | EE | 4
3 | SS | 5
3 | SS | 5
1 | ZZ | 6
1 | AB | 1
Sequential Numbering of Groups of Data
In cell C2 use the following array formula (Ctrl,Shift+Enter):
=IF(COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,A2,B$2:B2,B2)=1,MAX(C$1:C1)+1,
INDEX(C$1:C1,MATCH(1,(A$1:A1=A2)*(B$1:B1=B2),0)))
Then copy C2 and pastedown from C3 to the last cell.
If you're satisfied with just numbering each first occurrence then use the following formula:
=IF(COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,A2,B$2:B2,B2)=1,MAX(C$1:C1)+1,"")
Both solutions use the headers i.e. the headers must not be numbers.
If you don't mind non-sequential numbering, you can just return the index of the first match found as your identifier:
Copy into C2, then fill down as necessary. The match row stop may need alteration based on how much data you have
=MATCH(A2&"#"&B2, A$2:A$100&"#"&B$2:B$100,0)
Or as an array formula (only need to place in C2);
=MATCH(A2:A11&"#"&B2:B11, A2:A11&"#"&B2:B11,0)

Excel Pivot Table: How do I count the number of working days for employees based on date-time values?

In my theoretical data set, I have a list which shows the date-time of a sale, and the employee who completed the transaction.
I know how to do grouping in order to show how many sales each employee has per day, but I'm wondering if there's a way to count how many grouped days have more than 0 sales.
For example, here's the original data set:
Employee | Order Time
A | 8/12 8:00
B | 8/12 9:00
A | 8/12 10:00
A | 8/12 14:00
B | 8/13 10:00
B | 8/13 11:00
A | 8/13 15:00
A | 8/14 12:00
Here's the pivot table that I have created:
Employee | 8/12 | 8/13 | 8/14
A | 3 | 1 | 1
B | 1 | 2 | 0
And here's what I want to know:
Employee | Working Days
A | 3
B | 2
Split your Order Time column (assumed to be B) into two, say with Text to Columns and Space as the delimiter (might need a little adjustment). Then pivot (using the Data Model) as shown:
and sum the results (outside the PT) such as with:
=SUM(F3:H3)
copied down to suit.
Columns F:G may then be hidden.
I fully support #Andrea's Comment (a correction) on the above:
I think this could have been made simpler. If you remove the "Time" in values of the pivot table and then move "Order" from columns to values and use distinct count as in the example. It should count Employee per date making the sum not needed. If you scale this to make it larger. Say 50 dates then the =Sum() needs to be moved each time.

Display Value in cell Y based on greater than, less than of cell X

Here's the scenario. I have a large spreadsheet of candidates for NHS at my school that are given a score by several teachers, community members, etc. I average out their score and then based on that number they are given a score/value from a rubric. I am looking for a formula that will read the value of cell X (their average score) and display a specific value in cell Y(their rubric score). The following is the criteria:
value<2.0, display 0
value>2.0 value<3.0, display 1
value>3.0 value<3.5, display 2
value>3.5 value<3.75, display 3
value>3.75, display 4
I tried looking this up and the closest I found was a formula that I modified to look like this:
=IF(I10="AVERAGE_CHARACTER",IF(I10<2,0,IF(AND(I10>2,I11<3),1,IF(AND(I10>3,I11<3.5),2,IF(AND(I10>3.5,I11<3,75),3,IF(I11>3.75,4,0))))))
All it says is FALSE in the cell. Not sure if I'm using the wrong formula or have a typo in the formula. Thoughts? If there is an alternate or easier method, I'm open for suggestions.
Thanks!

It's easy if you keep the thresholds and the rubric in separate arrays:
=LOOKUP(A1,{0,2,3,3.5,3.75},{0,1,2,3,4})
You might use something like: (value to be changed in A1)
=VLOOKUP(A1,{0,0;2,1;3,2;3.5,3;3.75,4},2)
or having a table like this: (value to be changed in C1)
| A | B |
1 | 0 | 0 |
2 | 2 | 1 |
3 | 3 | 2 |
4 | 3.5 | 3 |
5 | 3.75 | 4 |
=VLOOKUP(C1,A1:B5,2)

Detect overlapping ranges and correct then in oracle

Googling it a bit I found this to be an interesting question. Would like you guys shots.
Having my table
USER | MAP | STARTDAY | ENDDAY
1 | A | 20110101 | 20110105
1 | B | 20110106 | 20110110
2 | A | 20110101 | 20110107
2 | B | 20110105 | 20110110
Whant I want is to fix user's 2 case, where maps A and B overlaps by a couple days (from 20110105 until 20110107).
I wish I was able to query that table in a way that it never return overlapping ranges. My input data is falky already, so I don't have to worry with the conflict treatment, I just want to be able to get a single value for any given BETWEEN these dates.
Possible outputs for the query I'm trying to build would be like
USER | MAP | STARTDAY | ENDDAY
2 | B | 20110108 | 20110110 -- pushed overlapping days ahead..
2 | A | 20110101 | 20110104 -- shrunk overlapping range
It doesn't even matter if the algorithm causes "invalid ranges", e.g. Start = 20110105, End = 20110103, I'll just put null when I get to these cases.
What would you guys say? Any straight forward way to get this done?
Thanks!
f.
Analytic functions could help:
select userid, map
, case when prevend >= startday then prevend+1 else startday end newstart
, endday
from
( select userid, map, startday, endday
, lag(endday) over (partition by userid order by startday) prevend
from mytable
)
order by userid, startday
Gives:
USERID MAP NEWSTART ENDDAY
1 A 01/01/2011 01/05/2011
1 B 01/06/2011 01/10/2011
2 A 01/01/2011 01/07/2011
2 B 01/08/2011 01/10/2011
