Order of Columns in Excel

Hi,
I have a report that are grouped by first name, middle name, and last name; and for each group there are about 6 fields. In pdf or web, the first name, middle name, and last name are grouped and appear on top of the 6 fields. However in Excel, because there are no concept of grouping, the fields appear in the following order:
first name, the 6 fields, middle name, last name.
Is there a way to make it so that the first, middle, and last name appear before the 6 fields?
Thanks in advance.

I think for this you will have to change the layout of your report.
Right now you are using master-detail or group-above change it to tabular or whatever its called in newer version.

Specifying the order of column in Excel file

How to specify the order of the columns in excel when data is exported from a table to excel.For eg. I have 2 columns in a table i.e. Base Location and Employee Number.When I export this data to the excel file the columns are displayed according to the alphabetical order i.e. Base Location first and then Employee Number. Whereas I want Employee Number column to be displayed first and then the Base Location column.
Can anyone help me on this?

Hi Sowmya,
when you refer to my Excel Export tutorial on SDN: <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/0mQ">Exporting Table Data Using On-Demand Streams - SAP NetWeaver 7.0</a>:
use <b>LinkedHashMap</b> instead of <i>HashMap</i>:
private Map getProductColumnInfos() {
    Map columnInfosMap = new LinkedHashMap();
    columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.QUANTITY, "Quantity");
    columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.ARTICLE, "Article");
    columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.COLOR, "Color");
    columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.PRICE, "Price in EURO");
    columnInfosMap.put(
      IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.TOTAL__PER__ARTICLE,
      "Total Per Article In Euro");
    return columnInfosMap;
This keeps the order of key-displaytext-pairs passed by the client (table component) to the service (excel export component) stable.

kindly let me know the solution

Hi,
Ordering the column first takes place from the Data Model Itself.
Please Check your column ordering in the report data model. If it is not ordered in a right way then Rearrange it.
Remove your order by in query...
If any issues... let me know

In Lion 10.7.5 is there a way to view files in alphabetical order in column view?

In Lion 10.7.5 when viewing files/folders in column view, if I select arrange by name it does not sort the names alphabetically. Is this a bug or is there a way to view files in alphabetical order in column view?

I've been using Column View for years and have it set to None:
It has always shown in alphabetical order automatically.

How do I change the order of columns in the responses table?

How do i change the order of columns in the responses table in FormsCentral? The default setting puts them in reverse order!

Hi,
The issue with the default ordering of columns in the response table is something that we hope to address in the next update to FormsCentral. In the meantime, you can reorder the columns by selecting them then click/drag using the gray area above the column name. As shown below, an orange marker will show you where the columns will be placed when you release the mouse button.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dynamic ordering ambiguous column issue

I'm working on a stored procedure that will accept a column name from a web application. The stored procedure will use the @SortColumn to sort the results of the query. I'm receiving ambiguous column errors when the column values are passed in
to the query. The original query is written using dynamic sql but I created a simple query to reproduce the issue.   Can someone review the sample below and let me know if there is a way to resolve the error.
In the example below, the Over(Order by Emp_ID) section is causing the error. The order by is expecting e.Emp_ID as the order by value.  Is there anyway for me to rewrite the logic to allow the correct column alias to be using in the order by statement?
Ultimately, I would like to pass in a paramter for the order by column. Ex.   Over(Order by ' + @SortColunm + '
SELECT RowNum
,Emp_ID
,First_Name
,Last_Name
From (Select Distinct ROW_NUMBER() OVER(Order by Emp_ID) as RowNum,
e.Emp_ID as Emp_ID
,e.First_Name as First_Name
,e.Last_Name as Last_Name
FROM Employee e
LEFT OUTER JOIN Team t ON e.team_id = t.team_Id AND e.Emp_id = t.Emp_Id
LEFT OUTER JOIN AccrualType at ON e.Accrual_Type = at.Type
LEFT OUTER JOIN ClosingProcess cp ON e.Emp_id = cp.Emp_ID
where Last_Name like 's%'
) As Employees
order by Emp_ID

I've updated my query to use a cte and also included the Row_Number logic. I'm now receiving "Invalid column name 'RowNum". Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong in the code below?   I'm trying to create a stored procedure
that accepts a parameter to handle paging and sorting. The dynamic sql is needed for the SortExpression.
declare @SortExpression varchar(50) = 'Last_Name';
declare @DynSql varchar(max)='';
declare @Emp_ID NVARCHAR(50) = NULL
declare @First_Name VARCHAR(50) = NULL
declare @Last_Name VARCHAR(50) = 's'
declare @StartIndex INT
declare @MaximumRows INT
set @DynSql=
With Employees as
( Select Distinct
e.Emp_ID as Emp_ID
,First_Name
,Last_Name
FROM Employee e
LEFT OUTER JOIN Team t ON e.team_id = t.team_Id AND e.Emp_id = t.Emp_Id
LEFT OUTER JOIN AccrualType at ON e.Accrual_Type = at.Type
LEFT OUTER JOIN ClosingProcess cp ON e.Emp_id = cp.Emp_ID
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() Over (Order By ' + @SortExpression + ') As RowNum,
Emp_ID
,First_Name
,Last_Name
FROM Employees
WHERE RowNum BETWEEN ' + CAST(@StartIndex as varchar(10)) + ' AND ' + '(' + CAST(@StartIndex as varchar(10))+ CAST(@MaximumRows as varchar(10))+ ') - 1 '
If @Emp_ID is not null
Set @DynSql = @DynSql + ' And (Emp_ID = @Emp_ID)'
If @First_Name is not null
Set @DynSql = @DynSql + ' And (First_Name = @First_Name)'
If @Last_Name is not null
Set @DynSql = @DynSql + ' And (Last_Name = @Last_Name)'
exec (@DynSql)

Is there any performance difference in the order of columns referencing index?

I wish to find out if there is any performance difference or efficiency in specifying those columns referencing index(es) first in the WHERE clause of SQL statements. That is, whether the order of columns referencing the index is important???.
E.g. id is the column that is indexed
SELECT * FROM a where a.id='1' and a.name='John';
SELECT * FROM a where a.name='John' and a.id='1';
Is there any differences in terms of efficiency of the 2 statements??
Please advise. Thanks.

There is no difference between the two statements under either the RBO or the CBO.
sql>create table a as select * from all_objects;
Table created.
sql>create index a_index on a(object_id);
Index created.
sql>analyze table a compute statistics;
Table analyzed.
sql>select count(*)
2    from a
3   where object_id = 1
4     and object_name = 'x';
COUNT(*)
        0
1 row selected.
Execution Plan
   0      SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=1 Card=1 Bytes=29)
   1    0   SORT (AGGREGATE)
   2    1     TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'A' (Cost=1 Card=1 Bytes=29)
   3    2       INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'A_INDEX' (NON-UNIQUE) (Cost=1 Card=1)
sql>select count(*)

ORDER BY columns in a UNION

Hi all, I have a pair of statements connected by a UNION, where I need to sort the final result according to columns not appearing in any column list:
SELECT REF(d) FROM DOCUMENT_TABLE d
WHERE d.header$.parentKey = ?
UNION
SELECT REF(d) FROM DOCUMENT_TABLE d, CROSS_TABLE k
WHERE k.doc = d.key$ AND k.folder = ?
ORDER BY d.header$.name
this fails saying that d.header$.name is an invalid identifier (ORA-904), like being out of scope.
Both union branches succeed when run alone (select + order by).
How can I sort by colums without having them to be returned ?
In all examples I found columns are also retrieved and referenced by either alias or by position.
Thanks.

Hi,
In a UNION query, you can only ORDER BY columns in the SELECT clause.
You can do the UNION in a sub-query, then do the ORDER BY in the main query, where you can ORDER BY anything:
WITH     union_results     AS
     SELECT REF (d)     AS ref_d
     ,     name
     FROM      DOCUMENT_TABLE     d
     WHERE      d.header$.parentKey = ?
UNION
        SELECT REF (d)     AS ref_d
     ,     name
     FROM      DOCUMENT_TABLE     d
     ,     CROSS_TABLE     k
     WHERE     k.doc       = d.key$
     AND     k.folder = ?
SELECT    REF_D
FROM       union_results
ORDER BY name
;Your front end may be able to hide specified columns, so you could do this without a sub-query.
For example, in SQL*Plus you can say:
COLUMN name    NOPRINT
     SELECT REF (d)     AS ref_d
     ,     name
     FROM      DOCUMENT_TABLE     d
     WHERE      d.header$.parentKey = ?
UNION
        SELECT REF (d)     AS ref_d
     ,     name
     FROM      DOCUMENT_TABLE     d
     ,     CROSS_TABLE     k
     WHERE     k.doc       = d.key$
     AND     k.folder = ?
ORDER BY name
;The result set actually contains two columns, but SQL*Plus will only display one.

Finder - changing sort order in column view

Anyone know a way to change the sort order when using the COLUMN view in Finder? It's defaulting to alpha and I'd like to change it so when I'm viewing a particular folder the contents are displayed by Date Modified like I can when using the other views.
THANKS!

Hi VFRJOEY,
there is no way to change the sort order in column-view. This was under discussion since the very first release of MacOS X but never made it into any one of the releases.

Does the order of columns in an index matter?

Hi,
I have a table having composite index, five columns. (col1,col2,col3,col4,col5)
Currently , my index is beginning with the column which having low distinct values and so on.
( in my case the first column have 1 distinct values due to functional behavior ). the second column have 3 distinct values , the third column have many distinct value ( half of the table).
There are many DML queries on this table with different clauses.
Examples:
query 1 : where col1 =val1 and col2 = val2
query 2 : where (col3,col4) in ( select col1,col2 from another_table ) ( for this we can add col1 =val1 and col2 = val2)
My question is : what this best way to create index on this case ?
The order of columns on index depends on its distinct values?
Thanks
