Hidden Sort - Order by calculation that is not displayed

Hi,
I want to sort by the absolute value of a column, but do NOT want to display that absolute value. Rod West mentioned a 'hidden sort' in a previous post, but I can't find any way to do it.
Is it possible? If it matters, the column in question is a calculation itself - the sum of 2 other columns.
The worksheet is in Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.
Thanks in advance,
Dawn

Hey Dawn.
The concept of the crosstab is that you cannot sort on a data column as you are presenting a 3d look at the data. So unlike a table, you may be seeing records from all over the table (ie: not concurrent records, etc.) and it's therefore more difficult (well it is for me anyway).
So, first of all, if you want it to be a xtab, then fine.
But you mentioned that if it was a table, then you are getting several lines for each customer - one for each order or return.
So, if using a table - which will be easier for what you want to do IMO, let's see if you can rework it for that.
Suppose for the first column you had the customer id.
Then for the second column you wanted to display just the month for the data.
Then for the third column, you had the total dollar order amount for that customer for the month. So for that item, could you not just display 'total dollar amount SUM'?
Then for the fouth column, similarly could you not just display 'final sales amount SUM'.
Then create a calculation on the fourth column such as: ABS(final sales amount SUM). But make sure the calculation is checked off to not display it.
Then in the SORT, could you not sort by the calculation (hidden), month (GROUP SORT) and customer id (GROUP SORT),
Something like that should be what it sounds like you're trying to accomplish.
Makes sense?

Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

How do I set ScrollRow on a Sheet that is not displayed without selecting/activating it?

Without displaying and selecting a named Sheet, how do I set ScrollRow for a Sheet which is not displayed and, therefor, not in a Window? Is there some other Property of a Sheet I can use to position a specific cell in the upper-left corner of that
sheet?
Thanks for any help.
Charlie

Thanks Andreas. Your answer above confirms my fear/conclusion. Looks like I'll have to change my macro design to handle events. Probably the right thing to do anyway.
To those above who ask me to clarify, here's my situation: I have one macro workbook open and running a macro which requires many minutes to complete. That macro operates on multiple sheets within its own workbook. As part of those operations,
my intent was to pre-position/scroll various sheets to display potentially different data based on the results of ongoing calculations so that, when the sheet is actually selected, the desired data is already positioned for best visibility. However,
as noted, the macro takes a long time to run. So I often have multiple workbooks open. While the macro runs, I minimize the running workbook, and select another workbook that I work in while I wait for the macro to complete.
As a result, the running macro workbook is neither displayed nor is it the ActiveWorkbook. Thus, I cannot allow the macro code to use Properties such as ActiveWindow, since the ActiveWindow is NOT the window I want to adjust. Nor do I want to
take focus away from whatever the ActiveWindow is to make my adjustments to the various sheets in question.
As noted above, perhaps I'll need to redesign my workbooks to add event handlers to the various sheets so that my desired adjustments can be made when those sheets are selected, at which point I can be certain that they are the ActiveSheet in the ActiveWindow.
Thanks all for your help.

Here's a page that does not display properly...

It seems that the Webkit based browsers do not display pages like the following properly:
http://www.motogp.com/en/motogp/motogp_riders.htm?menu=riders
In this example, both Safari v3.1 (5525.13) and OmniWeb 5.7-v621 have issues.
Safari seems not to have any crashing problems here.
Is this the appropriate place to report this?

Hi
Code errors on the referenced link create the problem, not the browser. Safari strictly follows latest code promulgated by the Web Standards Project. Hence, the rendering errors.
If you want to bring this issue to the attention of Apple, use the "report bugs to Apple" option in the Safari Menu.

RoboHelp 10 generates Webhelp that does not display well in Google Chrome

We use RoboHelp 10 and create WebHelp which we post on a webserver. The TOC Index, Search / navigation panes do not display any content. If we generate a version with the "Pure HTML" option instead of the "DHTML" option the navigation panes do show the content, but we would rather not take this route because other functions still don't work properly.
It happens regardless of the contents of the helpfile.
No relevant JavaScript errors show in the console.
We found various tricks that claim to solve this issue but at least for RoboHelp 10 they don't work.

Only Adobe can answer the first question but I would not recommend holding your breath! Please do submit a bug report as otherwise there is no chance of a fix. Please follow this link.
http://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=38
I have not tested the method using a CHM generated from RoboHelp for Word so I cannot give you that assurance. However, I cannot see why it would be any different and the links work whenever I have reverse engineered a CHM.
The downside of course is any build tags will be lost as your source will be just whatever was in the output.
The process only takes a short while so it's worth a try.

Is in Java have order for datatype(that is not array and collection)

Dear Friends,
I have a class Test{
void Test( String name,int cnt,Test1 abc){
this.name= name;
this.cnt=cnt;
this.abc=abc
String name;
int cnt;
Test1 [] abc;
in some class Test2 , I fill data into obj ( obj = new Test("siddharth",23,objtest1);
I THING THAT WE CAN NOT SAY THE ORDER WILL BE in Object obj in this way
First Element : siddharth
Second Element"23
and
Third Element :objtest2
but My Team Lead is saying that Object has Order according theair Hascode() value.
Is is true Or not.
But in my Webspare studio debugeer is shoing the order is
First Element:objtest2
Second Element :siddharth
Third Element :23
and in same way GLUE component is generating xml.
So pls tell me how can i Change my order of element.
Pls Help me.it is very very urgent for me
with regards Siddharth Singh
}

I THING THAT WE CAN NOT SAY THE ORDER WILL BE in Object obj in this wayYou could only suggest this if you don't understand arrays. Arrays do not re-organise themslves. The array object will be in the cell you put them in. The order is entirely up to you and will not change unless you change it.
but My Team Lead is saying that Object has Order according theair Hascode() value.This will be the order, or this needs to be the order?
The order is the one you make it. You can change the order with the Arrays.sort() method.
Is is true Or not.Not even close to true.
So pls tell me how can i Change my order of element.Use Arrays.sort()

Need Authority Check so that Do not display Customer in Production Order

Follow these steps:

2. Enter "CO08" in the Transaction Code row.
3. Select the "Standard Variants" Tab
4. Enter ZCO08 as name. Click "create" button on the toolbar (top).
5. The CO08 screen will appear. Enter some data (test data) as sales order, line item no, material, plant and order type and press enter.
6. A pop up window will come, press enter.
7. The production order header screen will open.
8. Enter the required fields like quanityt, date and press enter. again a pop up will come, press enter.
9. Again a pop up screen will come, scroll down on this you will find sales order and other fields.
10. Now for Sales order, AFPOD-KDPOS, AFPOD-KDEIN, G.DelDate, 1.del.dat, Ordering prty, AFPOD-NAME1 and AFPOD-ORT01, tick the "Invisible" check box. And press enter.
11. Now cancel the production order by clicking cross from the top. This will exit the process without saving the production order. The change transaction variant screen will appear. Check for the check boxes, they will be ticked. Enter the short text for variant in the header data.
12. Click "Save". It will ask for package, Click on "local object", save with "&TMP". You will have to save for all the screen variants here. Just keep pressing save.
13. Now press back button. The SHD0 screen will come. In the Standard Variants tab, click on the activate button (beside the Name field).
14. Now run the T Code CO08, and make production order against sales order. In the production order header, the sales order related information will not be displayed.
Hope it is useful.
Try and revert.

EDI sales order line items that can not fulfilled and completed.

Dear all,
My requirement
I have multiple EDI customers that send in orders daily where their requirements is that if the ordering item qty can not to fulfilled on the day then the line item in question on the corresponding created sale order needs to be automatically rejected along with a suitable and descriptive reason code.
I'm looking to have this a seamless as possible and don't want to have the user manually review stock, edit sales orders or ATP check as they do now
I've looked at the partial delivery settings on the customer master and customer item but I think this just warns that the customer requires complete deliveries.
I apologise now as SD is not my thing, but if anyone has seen this situation before or has a standard solution I'd be grateful?
Rgds

Hi Braven,
Ram has given good suggestion. I would like to add on it.
If the quantity is not availabe put a reason for rejection , this is fine. But we dont need to create a new line item.. right.
Because this way it will pile up line items in sales order..
Instead put the logic in such a way that, when qty is not available put a rejection.
If qty is partially availabe, then process the qty and create a new line item for the remianing qty. ( this is ofcourse if the customer agress on partial deliveries ).
The above is on assumptions that your users review orders which are on rejection and process further.And other assumption is your customer agrees on partial deliveries.
This is how we mapped in our system.Hope it helps.
Regards,
SB.

I have a station that will not display a particular java applet.

It has had 1.4, then 6.0 and when attempting to click on the applet of a calendar, a box pops up, then waits a second, then shows a red x.
So I uninstalled all Java, rebooted, and installed 5.0.12 etc.
It still does it and if you hit cancel, it puts undefined in the box where the date should belong on the form.
I turned on through the console the logging and this is what appears if I look at the calendar after looking at a working java applet off of Sun's webpage. I only cut and pasted what appeared after I typed the address into the address bar and entered through it.
(ok. starting below...)
basic: Stopping applet ...
basic: Finding information ...
basic: Releasing classloader: sun.plugin.ClassLoaderInfo@1a082e2, refcount=0
basic: Caching classloader: sun.plugin.ClassLoaderInfo@1a082e2
basic: Current classloader cache size: 1
basic: Done ...
basic: Joining applet thread ...
basic: Destroying applet ...
basic: Disposing applet ...
basic: Joined applet thread ...
basic: Unregistered modality listener
basic: Quiting applet ...
(ok thats it)

I think any version below version 1.6 doesn't have

Fields that are not displayed are still submitted

Is there any way to prevent fields from being submitted? I have fields that are only conditionally displayed on the screen, but the values are submitted every time.
ie, user enters some field values, submits the page. we branch to the same page and do not clear the values so the user can see what he/she put in last time.
the user now selects from a select list which causes some of the fields that previously had values to no longer be displayed.
the user fills out some of the other fields, then submits the page, and all the old values and the new values are submitted. i would like only the new values to be submitted, and the old values not to be submitted.
is this possible? (and reasonable to implement)

Original Question:
Is there any way to prevent fields from being submitted? I have fields that are only conditionally displayed on the screen, but the values are submitted every time.
Hi Becky,
Yes Modify your submit procedure to only submit the records that are displayed on the screen.
I'm not too clear on why or what your trying to do.
When you submit the page and then branch to the same page.
Why don't you just make the user edit the record they just entered or create a new record?
Maybe I've misunderstood something but something your doing in the steps you've described, doesn't seem to be too clear to me...

How can I edit an Address Book Distribution List that will not display in Lion?

The option to edit an Address Book Distribution List (to select preferred emails for certain contacts) only appears as light print and does not respond to selection. I have a number of Address Groups that display and funtion properly in Mail, but since installing Lion, the problem described occurs. Any fix? Thanks.

The key is that the Contact List is now being kept in the Cloud & you cannot edit the Distribution List in your Mac's Address Book.
The fix is:
Quit your Address Book
Go to  Menu --> Sys Preferences --> iCloud
Uncheck the CONTACTS icon
Close Sys Pref
Open Address Book - Edit your Distribution Lists (No longer Greyed out)
Quit Address Book
Go to  Menu --> Sys Preferences --> iCloud
Check the CONTACTS icon
You should be good to go!
Hope this helps!

Fixing Exported PDF documents that do not display drop shadows

Now, what is the solution to this problem?:
iWork Pages: The drop shadows in Pages and Keynote are generated by a component of Mac OS X. When you view iWork-generated PDF files in Preview, you'll see these shadows. However, if you view the PDF with a third-party reader that doesn't use this component, the shadows will be missing.

Hi sgfoto,
This is not the exact solution but just a trick.
Try this:
1. How about open your file and Export into images i.e *.png, or *.tif.
2. Save into one folder.
3. Create New file.
4. Paste all of the image, clue: one image for one page.
5. Then Export as a *.pdf file.
Hope this may help and give you an idea.

Creating an iWeb page that is NOT displayed in tabs

I am trying to build a website for my church. But after getting all the info wanted on the site, I discovered that there would be way too many tabs to keep the site nice looking. So how do you create a page that doesn't have a tab on the top of the page but rather just a link from another one?
Hope that made sense.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
