Hi All,
I have list of records which is basically the Trade positions taken for a particular Fund (Please refer to the sheet attached - Trade_book_PRICE_Calc.xls). I have to calculate a PRICE column for each of the positions. For OPEN positions (TRANSACTION_NOTES = OPL)the PRICE value would be same as corresponding ORIG_TRADE_PRICE. But for closed position (TRANSACTION_NOTES = CLL), the value of PRICE column would be calculated from ORIG_TRADE_PRICE of corresponding OPEN positions with FIFO - Average weighted price calculation method.

Please refer to the sheet attached - Trade_book_PRICE_Calc.xls. I have explained the calculation method in Explanation column.
Can someone help me write a SQL script which yields me the PRICE column based on the existing columns (First 5 columns) after applying all the calculation logic explained.

Many Thanks
Anil

I would begin by creating an external table
http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/SQLRF/statements_7002.htm#i2153251
to read the file.

As you have some records in several lines you cannot use external tables.
You can load the file in a permanent table using SQL*Loader (I let you verify that explanation is filled):
SQL> create table trade (
  2    transaction_notes varchar2(3),
  3    fund              varchar2(3),
  4    trade_date        date,
  5    orig_trade_price  number,
  6    num_positions     integer,
  7    price             number,
  8    explanation       varchar2(1000)
  9  )
 10  /

Table created.

I don't know what is this.
Please post the result you want for the data you gave as I did it above.
Before, Please read and understand How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.

There is a nice presentation on FIFO on the oracle site

My understanding of the problem, which may or may not be correct, is that you have an Oracle table with five columns: transaction_notes, fund, trade_date, orig_trade_price, and num_positions, and you want a query to select those columns, and also produce a price column, calculated on a FIFO basis. The data sheet that you attached, containing the desired price column values, and an explanation column, explaining the derivation of the price column values is purely for explaining it to us and you do not need a SQL*Loader script or external table for loading that data into an Oracle table. Is this correct? If so, please see the demonstration below, in which I have provided a function that calculates the price, as per your explanations, and used that function in a query. This is the first thing that came to mind. There may be a way to simplify the function or use a query alone without a function.

Laughing I even did not read what's inside it. Laughing

Anyway, this learned me how to load such multiple lines data.

Michel,

I was able to load the data using SQL*Loader without using CONTINUEIF. I could have used an external table just as well. I did not encounter any wrapped lines. However, that may have had to do with how I copied and pasted the data into another file and, perhaps due to differences in operating systems, there may have been line breaks that your system recognized and mine did not.

Quite strange, when I open the downloaded CSV file with an hexadecimal editor, last record for instance, between "Hence PRICE value would" and "(5*124.375", I have 0x0D-0x0A (\r\n) so a new line for Windows.
If i remove the CONTINUEIF, SQL*Loader reports 12 records instead of 10 and 4 of them are bad which is consistent with the fact I see 2 double-line records (the 6th and the last ones).

The display of your last row seems to also show a new line at the same place but maybe it is an illusion due to word_wrapped option.
Can you post dump(EXPLANATION,16) for this row.
The part "would%(5*124" is for me "77,6f,75,6c,64,28,35,2a,31,32,34" after loading with CONTINUEOF and "77 6F 75 6C 64 0D 0A 28 35 2A 31 32 34" in file.

You indeed have a \n in your data but just \n with no \r.
I directly opened the file with the hexadecimal editor instead of downloading and then open it with another editor and there is indeed only \n. This was my editor which has automatically converted \n to \r\n.

So this is the explanation of the mystery.

In place of your 0D 0A I see a which generates a linefeed in the output of the data after the word would, but apparently SQL*Loader did not see it as a line feed.

Thanks for solving the mystery and satisfying my curiosity. As you can see, I found the a and posted that before seeing your latest post.

Yes because SQL*Loader is smart enough to adapt the value of "new line" to the OS, so \n on Unix/Linux, \r\n on Windows, \n\r on Risc OS...
