The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Business Objects SQL question

Asked by dbfromnewjersey in Business Objects, Crystal Reports Software

Tags: sql, business, objects

Hi. I'm using the basic version of Business Objects. I cannot alter any code. I can only create queries by using the graphical interface to drag selected fields into the Results Object window and the Query Filters window.  Here's the issue:   Let's say I have a table (MyTable) with two fields.  The field names are  FromNumber and ToNumber.  They each contain data such as the following:

FromNumber                         ToNumber
101                                          200
201                                          500
501                                          549
550                                          700

Notice that in a given row, the FromNumber  and  ToNumber fields contain a numerical series (the series for the first row is 101 thru 200, the series for the second row is 201 thru 500, etc).   Now let's say for example that I'm interested in retrieving the row (and only that row) that a selected number falls between.  Let's say the number I want to query on is 525.  The SQL for such a query (if I was using some other application where I could actually write the SQL myself) would be something like the following:

Select * from MyTable   Where   (525 > FromNumber) And (525 < ToNumber)

The above SQL would properly return only one row, that being the 501 thru 549 row.

The problem I'm having in Business Objects is that no matter how I structure the query using their graphic interface, I'm getting back multiple rows.  It seems to be grabbing all data it finds in the FromNumber columns that is less than 525 and all data in the ToNumber column that is greater than 525 resulting in multiple rows. Anyone know how to structure a Business Objects query to get it to return only one row of data. Remember.... I CANNOT alter the code. I can only use the graphic interface. Thanks.
