Infinite loop while running collect() function in Power Apps - loops

I have the following formula:
// First part to collect records from a SQL database
ForAll(
WSL_INVENT_X_LOCATION;
If(
Descr = drop_materiales.SelectedText.Value;
Collect(
colMateriales;
ShowColumns(
WSL_INVENT_X_LOCATION;
"InvtID";
"Descr";
"WhseLoc";
"SiteID";
"QtyOnHand"
)
)
)
);;
//Second part to remove duplicates
ClearCollect(
colMateriales;
ForAll(
Distinct(
colMateriales;
ThisRecord
);
Result
)
);;
The problem that I am encountering is that:
Infinite loop occurs while this formula runs
Collection only adding 0's in the column QtyOnHand, where in fact there are records with numbers greater than 0
I appreciate your help.

You may be hitting some delegation limits in your query (doc: Understanding delegation), which may explain why some rows are not being retrieved. You can rewrite your expression to delegate One way to avoid those would be to rewrite the expression in a way that some of the filtering is done at the server side:
ClearCollect(
colMateriales;
ShowColumns(
Filter(
WSL_INVENT_X_LOCATION;
Descr = drop_materiales.SelectedText.Value);
"InvtID";
"Descr";
"WhseLoc";
"SiteID";
"QtyOnHand"
)
);;

Power Pivot: DAX for Same Value Sequential Count

Please reference the following example table.
The actual table would be contained in PowerPivot.
There are multiple runs identified by sequential numbering.
Based on what we want to observe through filtering, each run has an associated value.
Here's simplified version of the current data:
Current Table
Common Columns for all Data:
Part: Uniquely defines the group. In this case, it's part or device.
Run: Identifies a same test count.
Value: The outcome generated from the test.
What I've been trying to add is an additional three columns:
Desired1: Same_Value_Count: This counts consecutive same values.
Desired2: Same_Max: Gives the maximum same value count.
Desired3: Same_Min: Give the minimum same value count.
This would result in the following PivotTable:
Resulting Table
I am having trouble formulating the proper DAX syntax to accomplish the two extra columns.
Keep in mind, I'd like to show the whole table as is.
I have a calculated column here called count_seq_dup:
=CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(table), ALLEXCEPT(table, table[3_Value]), EARLIER(Table[2_Run]) >= CSVsource[2_Run])
It worked perfectly for a single part, but does not work with multiple parts parts and when other filtering or slicers are applied.
I'm close, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for, and I can't figure out the syntax in DAX to get it right.
Can anyone help me?
For the Same_Value_Count, try something like this:
Same_Value_Count =
VAR part = 'table'[1_Part]
VAR val = 'table'[3_Value]
VAR run = 'table'[2_Run]
VAR tblpart = FILTER ( 'table', 'table'[1_Part] = part && 'table'[2_Run] <= run )
RETURN
run - CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'table'[2_Run] ), FILTER ( tblpart, [3_Value] <> val ) )
This will return the maximum same value count for a part / value combination.
Max Count =
VAR part = 'table'[1_Part]
VAR val = 'table'[3_Value]
RETURN
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'table'[Same_Value_Count] ),
FILTER ( 'table', [3_Value] = val && 'table'[1_Part] = part )
)

Convert Statement to Crystal Reports SQL Expression

I have a SQL command that works great in SQL Server. Here's the query:
SELECT TOP 1000
(
SELECT COUNT(LINENUM)
FROM OEORDD D1
WHERE D1.ORDUNIQ = OEORDD.ORDUNIQ
)
- (SELECT COUNT(LINENUM)
FROM OEORDD D1
WHERE D1.ORDUNIQ = OEORDD.ORDUNIQ
AND D1.LINENUM > OEORDD.LINENUM)
FROM OEORDD
ORDER BY ORDUNIQ, LINENUM
The query looks at the total lines on an order, then looks at the current "LINENUM" field. With the value of the LINENUM field, it looks to see how many lines have a greater LINENUM value on the order and subtracts it from the number of lines on an order to get the correct Line number.
When I try to add it as a SQL expression in version 14.0.2.364 as follows:
(
(
SELECT COUNT("OEORDD"."LINENUM")
FROM "OEORDD" "D1"
WHERE "D1"."ORDUNIQ" = "OEORDD"."ORDUNIQ"
)
- (SELECT COUNT("OEORDD"."LINENUM")
FROM "OEORDD" "D1"
WHERE "D1"."ORDUNIQ" = "OEORDD"."ORDUNIQ"
AND "D1"."LINENUM" > "OEORDD"."LINENUM"
)
)
I get the error "Column 'SAMDB.dbo.OEORDD.ORDUNIQ' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
If I try to add GROUP BY "OEORDD"."ORDUNIQ" at the end, I get "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'GROUP'. I've tried adding "FROM OEORDD" at the end of query and it errors out on the word "FROM". I have the correct tables linked in the Database Expert.
EDIT --------------
I was able to get the first query working by getting rid of the alias, it's as follows:
(
SELECT COUNT(LINENUM)
FROM OEORDD
WHERE OEORDH.ORDUNIQ=OEORDD.ORDUNIQ)
)
However, I believe I need to use the alias in the second query to compare line numbers. I'm still stuck on that one.

wpdb delete query count

How do you count the number of times a delete query has been successfully executed using wordpress default database class.
for example:
$delete = $wpdb->query("DELETE FROM table where and itemid > itemid");
I know one way is to fire a select count:
$deletecount = $wpdb->query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table where itemid > itemid");
but is there a direct way to know the count without executing a second query?
Thank you!
The $wpdb->query(...) function returns an integer value corresponding to the number of rows affected. So, if you delete 10 rows then it'll return 10, use it like:
$count = $wpdb->query('delete query');
Also you may use the delete method:
$count = $wpdb->delete( $table, $where, $where_format = null );
Returns the same affected rows on successful operation and false on failure. Read more on Codex.

How do I search for multiple values in a column where I need to use wildcards?

In SQL Server, I need to search a column for multiple values, but I don't have the exact values, so I need to use wildcards as well.
My current query looks like this:
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE fieldname in ( '%abc1234%',
'%cde456%',
'%efg8976%')
This doesn't return any results, and yet if I search for any one individual value, I find it, so I know they're in there. Short of doing multiple OR's, which is a bit unwieldy with several hundred values, is there a way to do this?
I'd also be interested to know why this query doesn't work, since the same query without the %'s works just fine (except for the small problem of only catching the few exact matches).
Look at using a Fulltext Index. That should do a much better job with your search, and make your "OR" problem a little nicer to boot:
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE CONTAINS(fieldname, '"abc1234" OR "cde456" OR "efg8976"')
See also:
http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/learn-sql-server/full-text-indexing-workbench/
The reason the query doesn't work is that it looks for an exact match for fieldname within the list of values in the parens. It doen't do a LIKE comparison where the wildcards are taken into account.
So your query is equivalent to:
SELECT * from table
where fieldname = '%abc1234%' OR
fieldname = '%cde456%' OR
fieldname = '%efg8976%'
Obviously not what you want.
select table.* from (
table join
( select * from values (
( '%abc1234%' ), ( '%cde456%' ), ( '%efg8976%' )
) ) as search( exp ) on 0 = 0
) where fieldname like exp
or perhaps
select table.* from
table join
( select * from values (
( '%abc1234%' ), ( '%cde456%' ), ( '%efg8976%' )
) ) as search( exp )
on fieldname like exp
modulo some syntax I'm sure.
The point being that this comes close to allowing the list of values to be the only parameter.

LINQ to SQL Take w/o Skip Causes Multiple SQL Statements

I have a LINQ to SQL query:
from at in Context.Transaction
select new {
at.Amount,
at.PostingDate,
Details =
from tb in at.TransactionDetail
select new {
Amount = tb.Amount,
Description = tb.Desc
}
}
This results in one SQL statement being executed. All is good.
However, if I attempt to return known types from this query, even if they have the same structure as the anonymous types, I get one SQL statement executed for the top level and then an additional SQL statement for each "child" set.
Is there any way to get LINQ to SQL to issue one SQL statement and use known types?
EDIT: I must have another issue. When I plugged a very simplistic (but still hieararchical) version of my query into LINQPad and used freshly created known types with just 2 or 3 members, I did get one SQL statement. I will post and update when I know more.
EDIT 2: This appears to be due to a bug in Take. See my answer below for details.
First - some reasoning for the Take bug.
If you just Take, the query translator just uses top. Top10 will not give the right answer if cardinality is broken by joining in a child collection. So the query translator doesn't join in the child collection (instead it requeries for the children).
If you Skip and Take, then the query translator kicks in with some RowNumber logic over the parent rows... these rownumbers let it take 10 parents, even if that's really 50 records due to each parent having 5 children.
If you Skip(0) and Take, Skip is removed as a non-operation by the translator - it's just like you never said Skip.
This is going to be a hard conceptual leap to from where you are (calling Skip and Take) to a "simple workaround". What we need to do - is force the translation to occur at a point where the translator can't remove Skip(0) as a non-operation. We need to call Skip, and supply the skipped number at a later point.
DataClasses1DataContext myDC = new DataClasses1DataContext();
//setting up log so we can see what's going on
myDC.Log = Console.Out;
//hierarchical query - not important
var query = myDC.Options.Select(option => new{
ID = option.ParentID,
Others = myDC.Options.Select(option2 => new{
ID = option2.ParentID
})
});
//request translation of the query! Important!
var compQuery = System.Data.Linq.CompiledQuery
.Compile<DataClasses1DataContext, int, int, System.Collections.IEnumerable>
( (dc, skip, take) => query.Skip(skip).Take(take) );
//now run the query and specify that 0 rows are to be skipped.
compQuery.Invoke(myDC, 0, 10);
This produces the following query:
SELECT [t1].[ParentID], [t2].[ParentID] AS [ParentID2], (
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM [dbo].[Option] AS [t3]
) AS [value]
FROM (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [t0].[ID]) AS [ROW_NUMBER], [t0].[ParentID]
FROM [dbo].[Option] AS [t0]
) AS [t1]
LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[Option] AS [t2] ON 1=1
WHERE [t1].[ROW_NUMBER] BETWEEN #p0 + 1 AND #p1 + #p2
ORDER BY [t1].[ROW_NUMBER], [t2].[ID]
-- #p0: Input Int (Size = 0; Prec = 0; Scale = 0) [0]
-- #p1: Input Int (Size = 0; Prec = 0; Scale = 0) [0]
-- #p2: Input Int (Size = 0; Prec = 0; Scale = 0) [10]
-- Context: SqlProvider(Sql2005) Model: AttributedMetaModel Build: 3.5.30729.1
And here's where we win!
WHERE [t1].[ROW_NUMBER] BETWEEN #p0 + 1 AND #p1 + #p2
I've now determined this is the result of a horrible bug. The anonymous versus known type turned out not to be the cause. The real cause is Take.
The following result in 1 SQL statement:
query.Skip(1).Take(10).ToList();
query.ToList();
However, the following exhibit the one sql statement per parent row problem.
query.Skip(0).Take(10).ToList();
query.Take(10).ToList();
Can anyone think of any simple workarounds for this?
EDIT: The only workaround I've come up with is to check to see if I'm on the first page (IE Skip(0)) and then make two calls, one with Take(1) and the other with Skip(1).Take(pageSize - 1) and addRange the lists together.
I've not had a chance to try this but given that the anonymous type isn't part of LINQ rather a C# construct I wonder if you could use:
from at in Context.Transaction
select new KnownType(
at.Amount,
at.PostingDate,
Details =
from tb in at.TransactionDetail
select KnownSubType(
Amount = tb.Amount,
Description = tb.Desc
)
}
Obviously Details would need to be an IEnumerable collection.
I could be miles wide on this but it might at least give you a new line of thought to pursue which can't hurt so please excuse my rambling.
