Hi Experts,


Here i'm facing one problem in Reports 6i. I'm getting data from query using union all. In which i'm able to get data from single column , but bifurcating based on flag i.e F,V ( F- Fixed,V-variable).

my problem is to get 0 (zero) where ever data is not there.

for example:

amount ---- flag
1000 ---- F
2000 ---- F
3000 ---- V
4000 ---- V
5000 ---- V

I supposed to get data like

F ---- V
1000 ---- 0
2000 ---- 0
0 ---- 3000
0 ---- 4000
0 ---- 5000

but i'm getting some space at 0 (zeros). like

F ---- V
1000 ----
2000 ----
---- 3000
---- 4000
---- 5000


please help me anyone to comeout of this

please
please

Regards,
SATISH

Use the DECODE function:
SQL> select * From test;

    AMOUNT F
---------- -
      1000 F
      2000 F
      3000 V
      4000 V
      5000 V

SQL> select decode(flag, 'F', amount, 0) f,
  2         decode(flag, 'V', amount, 0) v
  3  from test;

         F          V
---------- ----------
      1000          0
      2000          0
         0       3000
         0       4000
         0       5000

SQL>

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you meant to say.
