61 -Fig.2.2 – Query example
158 + <p>The core of the flexible reports functionality is a query language that enables extraction of archived data from the database. Excel (.xlsx) files are used to work with this data.</p>
62 62  
63 -For example, the query **y-m-d:h10-m00:el-dev-30-ea_imp-3m:sum** consists of the following parts. The last part, "sum," in the example above, is optional.
160 + <p>There are two types of files:</p>
161 + <ul>
162 + <li><strong>Template</strong> &mdash; defines the layout and structure of a report, including queries to archived data.</li>
163 + <li><strong>Report</strong> &mdash; a ready-made document generated from a template that contains the data received as a result of filling in the cells.</li>
164 + </ul>
64 64  
65 -1) **y-m-d:** means that the year, month, and day values from the date** **associated with the report will be inserted into the query (specified when creating the template via the web-interface). Only part of the date associated with the report can be used. For example, **y2024-m-d **means that the month and day should be substituted, while the year (2024) remains fixed as specified in the request. **y2024-m2-d **means that only the day should be substituted with the year set to 2024 and the month set to 2 (February).
66 66  
67 -It is also possible to omit **d (y-m: )**, or omit **m** and **d (y: )**, this means that we are interested in the entire interval (if only the year is specified, then the entire annual interval, if the year and month are specified, then the monthly interval).
167 + <p>The template is generated by the user as an .xlsx file and then uploaded via CENTO forms. Queries are entered into the cells of the template, and the system inserts the resulting value into the cell where the query was placed. Editing of the report template is also available through the web interface, as described in section 3.</p>
68 68  
69 -The **d** can also be omitted (**y-m:**), or both **m** and **d** can be omitted (**y: **). This means the entire interval is considered, if only the year is specified, the entire annual interval is used, and if the year and month are specified, the monthly interval is used.
169 + <p>The template can contain multiple sheets, Excel formulas, charts, conditional formatting, and a summary report. An example of the generated sheet of an .xlsx file is shown in Figure 2.1.</p>
70 70  
71 -**h10-m00** means that the values for the specified hour and minute will be inserted into the query. By omitting seconds, CENTO understands that the entire minute interval is of interest. This means the sample will be from 10:00 to 10:01 (excluding data for 10:01:00, effectively from 10:00:00 to 10:00:59). To make a sample for an hour, write **h10** omitting minutes and seconds. The time does not need to be specified at all, for example, if the interest is in the data for the day. However, to ensure the query is correct, write “*” in place of the time, like this: ~*~*y-m-d::el-dev-30-ea_imp-3m:sum~*~*.

99 -When referring to **energy** measurements instead of **electrical**, the channels are encoded with numbers. For example, it would be recorded as **en-dev-30-15-3m**, which represents 3-minute data for the channel with id = 15 in the device with id = 30.
198 + <p>For example, the query <code>y-m-d:h10-m00:el-dev-30-ea_imp-3m:sum</code> consists of the following parts. The last part, <code>sum</code>, is optional.</p>
199 + <ol>
200 + <li>
201 + <p><strong><code>y-m-d:</code></strong> &mdash; means the year, month, and day values from the date associated with the report will be inserted into the query. Only part of the date can be used. For example, <code>y2024-m-d</code> fixes the year to 2024 while substituting month and day. <code>y2024-m2-d</code> fixes the year to 2024, the month to February, and substitutes only the day.</p>
202 + <p>The <code>d</code> can be omitted (<code>y-m:</code>), or both <code>m</code> and <code>d</code> can be omitted (<code>y:</code>), meaning the entire interval is considered: the full annual interval if only the year is specified, or the full monthly interval if the year and month are specified.</p>
203 + <p>The first two parts of the query can be replaced with the <code>#date</code> formula as described in Table 2.3 below.</p>
204 + </li>
205 + <li>
206 + <p><strong><code>h10-m00</code></strong> &mdash; means that values for the specified hour and minute will be inserted. Omitting seconds means the entire minute interval is of interest (from 10:00:00 to 10:00:59). To sample an hour, write <code>h10</code> omitting minutes and seconds. To omit time entirely (e.g. for daily data), write <code>*</code> in place of the time: <code>y-m-d::el-dev-30-ea_imp-3m:sum</code>.</p>
207 + </li>
208 + <li>
209 + <p><strong><code>el-dev-30-ea_imp-3m</code></strong> has the following parts:</p>
210 + <ul>
211 + <li><code>el</code> &mdash; electrical data. Other measurements (heat, pressure, etc.) use <code>en</code> (energy).</li>
212 + <li><code>dev-30</code> &mdash; device with ID 30. Instead of <code>dev</code>, use <code>bg</code> for billing groups (e.g. <code>el-bg-22-30m</code>).</li>
213 + <li><code>ea_imp</code> &mdash; the data channel. Available electricity channels:
214 + <code>ea_imp</code>, <code>ea_exp</code>, <code>er_imp</code>, <code>er_exp</code>,
215 + <code>pa_imp</code>, <code>pa_exp</code>, <code>pr_imp</code>, <code>pr_exp</code>,
216 + <code>ra_imp</code>, <code>ra_exp</code>, <code>rr_imp</code>, <code>rr_exp</code>.</li>
217 + <li><code>3m</code> &mdash; interval. Options include <code>1m</code>, <code>3m</code>, <code>15m</code>, <code>20m</code>, <code>30m</code>, <code>1h</code>, <code>1d</code>, and others supported by the device.</li>
218 + </ul>
219 + <p>For energy (<code>en</code>) measurements, channels are encoded by number: <code>en-dev-30-15-3m</code> requests 3-minute data for channel ID 15 on device 30.</p>
220 + <p>In query formulas, device IDs can be replaced with device codes. Device codes can contain Latin letters, e.g. <code>P22S1Y8</code>. The formula <code>y-m-d1:*:el-dev-201-ea_imp-30m:sum</code> can be written as <code>y-m-d1:*:E123457ea_imp:sum</code>.</p>
221 + </li>
222 + <li>
223 + <p><strong><code>sum</code></strong> &mdash; aggregation function. Available functions: <code>sum</code>, <code>min</code>, <code>max</code>, <code>mean</code>. An optional coefficient can follow: <code>sum-k0.1</code> multiplies the result by 0.1.</p>
224 + </li>
225 + </ol>
100 100  
101 -Possible interval options include: **1m** for minute data, **3m** for 3-minute data, **15m** for 15-minute data, **20m** for 20-minute data, **30m** for 30-minute data, **1h** for hourly data, **1d** for daily data, **1m** for monthly data, as well as other intervals that the device may return.
102 102  
103 -**sum** is an aggregating function that, in this case, calculates the sum. In addition to **sum**, other functions may include **min** for minimum, **max** for maximum, and **mean** for average.
228 + <p>For flexible <strong>period</strong> reports, use <code>#begin-#end</code> instead of a specific date (<code>y-m-d</code>). For example, <code>#begin-#end:h10-m00:el-dev-30-ea_imp-3m:sum</code> sums the active energy from device 30 from 10:00 at the start to 10:00 at the end of the user-defined period.</p>
104 104  
105 -The aggregating function may be followed by an optional parameter, the coefficient, written as a k number, where the number is the coefficient value, for example, k0.1 (i.e. **sum-k0.1**): the result of query execution will be multiplied by it.
230 + <p>Period reports also support time offsets by day: <code>#end+2d</code> or <code>#begin-1d</code>. Queries using only <code>#begin</code> or <code>#end</code> will fill the cell with the value for that point in time only.</p>
106 106  
107 -The data request form for flexible period reports is similar to reports for a day, month, or year. However, in the date block at the beginning of the query, instead of a specific date (**y-m-d**), the start and end of the report period are used as **#begin-#end**. For example, the query **#begin-#end:h10-m00:el-dev-30-ea_imp-3m:sum** means that the total active energy value (reception) is requested for the user-defined period from 10:00 a.m. at the beginning of the period (**#begin**) to 10:00 a.m. at the end of the period (**#end**) from a device with ID 30.
232 + <p>The <code>#date</code> formula provides an extended query toolkit. The comparison between <code>y-m-d</code> and <code>#date</code> formats is shown in Table 2.3.</p>
108 108  
109 -Queries for flexible reports for a period can be generated, indicating only the beginning of the period (**#begin**) or only the end (**#end**). In this case, CENTO will fill the cell with the value only for the specified time, ignoring the formula at the end of the query (if there is one).
