Problems with sorting in cross tab.

Hi,
Can anybody help me? I use Oracle Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2
The problem is:
a have a cross tab in which at the left axis I have the items sorted by alternative sort. Among them there are two items with similar names, like "detail 1" and "detail 1", but with different recid and ordernumber.
if I put only the 'name' of an item at the left axis - I see only one item with the name "detail 1", against both of them.
if I put two colums at the left axis 'ordernumber' and 'name' - I see both, but there are additional lines with the same 'content' like:
1     ;     100
detail 1;     100
2     ;     200
detail 1;     200
how can I avoid this and is there any way to see both item without ordernumber?
Kate.

Hi, Ott
I use ordernumber only for creating alternative sort, not for publishing in the crosstab.
Ordernumber only "prevent" me to publish the info I need correctly, if I put ordernumber in the table the duplicated rows appears.
You see, the problem is:
I need only the names of the details in the left axis, BUT the identical names of the details (with the different ordernumber) are displayed as one row, not as different. it is not correctly.
what should I do to solve the problem?

Problem with sorting involving user defined types and reports

Hello!
I have a problem with sorting involving Reports and user defined objet types.
I have created the following object types
CREATE TYPE type_balance_compte AS OBJECT
NUM_CPT_SEQ NUMBER(8)
,NUM_CPT VARCHAR2(35)
CREATE TYPE TB_type_balance_compte IS TABLE OF type_balance_compte
At the reports query I use:
SELECT ...
FROM table(cast(test_pkg.balance_comptes(:P_num_soc) as TB_type_balance_compte)) c
The procedure balance_comptes will retrieve data from various tables into the type.
The report is ordered by a certain string field that usually contains characters and numbers.
I need to have numbers always before characters, meaning the data should come in this order in the report for example:
0
1
A
B
So, before the report query, I have placed a call to DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS( 'nls_sort', 'binary' ) to guarantee NLS_SORT in case it is originally set to FRENCH.
The problem here is that even after this call, I have the report ordered like this
A
B
0
1
And not the numbers before as it should be.
To try and find out where the problem was, I have created a table to use instead of the object type described above. In this case, it worked correctly. So all I know by now is that is has something to do with the type or cast, but what exactly? Does anybody now how to solve this without using a table?
Many thanks
Ariadne

I have placed a call to DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS( 'nls_sort', 'binary' ) why not order directly then:
SQL> select *
      from table (sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll ('A', 1, '5', 'C', 'a'))
order by nlssort (column_value, 'NLS_SORT = binary')
COLUMN_VALUE
1
5
A
C
a
5 rows selected.?

Dynamic sorting in Cross Tab Report

I have 2 cross tabs in a report with element linking that filters data in 2nd report when I click on values in the first. I'd like a way to be able to sort the results in the 2nd cross tab in ascending or descending order dynamically.
Please see image below (click image for better quality) for a detailed representation of the problem.
Is this possible?

Right click on crosstab and go to Crosstab Expert and in the columns click on "group options" button and in the options tab select "Use a formula as sort order" and write the condition like this
if {?Parameter}="Ascending" then
crAscendingOrder
else
crDescendingOrder
Hope this helps!

Sorting a cross tab total

I am a newcomer (user) to Discoverer so would appreciate some help.
I have written a cross tab report which shows my sales people in the rows and different sales catagories in the columns. I have then put a total on my rows (total for each sales person) which works fine.
I then want to sort my sales people by their "total sales" ie my calculation.
Looking in the sort functionality I appear to only be able to sort the sales people by each of the actual columns of data which come back in the report (ie the sales categories - cat 1 or 2 as below)
E.g
Cat 1 Cat 2 Total
Sales Man 1 10 15 25
Sales Man 2 15 30 45
I want to sort so that the 45 is viewed and Sales Man 2 is sorted to the top.
Help?

Hi,
Sorting a crosstab how you want is always difficult. If you only ever want two categories as column headers then it will be easier to use a table report and decode out the categories and sort by the total.
Otherwise you will have to use a analytic sum with a partition to calculate the total for each sales in a calculation and then include that calculation as a dimension. You will then be able to sort the crosstab using this dimension and if necessary hide the content of the field using formatting.

Help with formatting for Cross Tab Report Crystal 2008

This is probably a simple question. I have a cross tab report that displays sales by month for a period of 6 months. These sales columns are formatted to be numbers with no decimals. In addition to these columns, I have inserted columns that display the percentage up/down in sales over the previous month. If I try to format the percentage columns, it changes every column to then display "##,##.##%" when I need to keep the sales columns at "##,###" with no decimal or percentage sign.
1. Is there a way to change the formatting of some of the columns but not all in a cross tab report?
2. If not, can I add a function that would change these in the calculation formula of the calculated member?
I tried to add "%" but it wants it to return a number.
Here is the current code:
//The calculation formula is used in place of the summaries in Calculated Members.
// This calculation formula must return a/an Number value.
If GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-3,CurrentSummaryIndex) = 0 then 0 else
((GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-1,CurrentSummaryIndex) -
GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-3,CurrentSummaryIndex)) /
GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-3,CurrentSummaryIndex)) * 100
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Tobi

Carl,
Thank you for your help. I did try your method but still couldn't get it to ignore the fact that it wanted a number. I changed my approach a litte and managed to solve the problem. Here is the method that I chose which managed to solve the problem. If this is a poor way to solve it, please let me know as I am always open for new ways.
Format Field > Number Tab > Customize > Currency Symbol Tab
Checked Enable Currency Symbol Fixed, changed currency symbol to %. This is the same thing that I did before which changes it for all columns.
Beside Enable Currency checkbox, I added this formula:
// This conditional formatting formula must return one of the following Currency Symbol Constants:
// crNoCurrencySymbol
// crFixedCurrencySymbol
// crFloatingCurrencySymbol
If GridRowColumnValue("InvoiceLine.TxnDate") = Date(0,0,0) then
crFixedCurrencySymbol
else
crNoCurrencySymbol
My added columns have a null date field so they take the currency format. My other columns do not so they do not take the formatting.
Thanks again for the help.

Sort in Cross-Tab report

I have a cross-tab report that lists dates as headers and employees as rows. The data at every cell shows the qty (it is like timesheet report). The totals are shown for every row and column. The report layout looks something like this:
----------- <date> <date> <date> .... <Total>
<name> <qty> <qty> <qty> <qty>
<name> <qty> <qty> <qty> <qty>
<name> <qty> <qty> <qty> <qty>
<Total> <qty> <qty> <qty> <qty>
The report definition looks like this (I numbered the columns to make it easier to write about them):
01: <?horizontal-break-table:1?>
02: <?for-each-group@column:EMPLOYEE_TIME;./TRANSACTION_DATE?><?sort:TRANSACTION_DATE;'ascending';data-type='date'?>
03: <?TRANSACTION_DATE?>
04: <?end for-each-group?>
05: <?for-each-group:EMPLOYEE_TIME;./EMPLOYEE_NAME?><?sort:EMPLOYEE_NAME?><?variable@incontext:G1;current-group()?>
06: <?EMPLOYEE_NAME?>
07: <?for-each-group@cell://EMPLOYEE_TIME;./TRANSACTION_DATE?>
08: <?sum ($G1[(./TRANSACTION_DATE=current()/TRANSACTION_DATE)]/TRANSACTION_QTY)?>
09: <?end for-each-group?>
10: <?sum ($G1/TRANSACTION_QTY)?>
11: <?end for-each-group?>
12: <?variable@incontext:T;.//EMPLOYEE_TIME?>
13: <?for-each-group@cell://EMPLOYEE_TIME;./TRANSACTION_DATE?>
14: <?sum (current-group()/TRANSACTION_QTY)?>
15: <?end for-each-group?>
16: <?sum ($T/TRANSACTION_QTY)?>
The XML data is not sorted in any way and the report sorts it by employee and date. As you see at the line 02 I applied the sort by the transaction date. The sort works as expected, however the actual QTY are not showing at correct cells. If I remove sort it works fine but the dates are in random order. I suspect it is because I sort transaction date at header level and the QTY is not aware about it. I tried to apply the sort at line 07 but it does not help.
Does anyone has any idea how to get this report to display data correctly?

Problems with text box borders, tabbing and saving doc in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0

When I view my form document in Acrobat Reader, there is a red border around several text boxes
in which I've selected 'NO border'
Also, I've selected 'column order' for tabbing, but tabs continue to function in order in which I inserted form item (text box, check box or radial button). Since I didn't insert these consecutively, tabs no jump all around the form instead of proceeding in order from top to bottm and left to right.
I've checked for Mac Acrobat Pro updates and see that there are three - 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and 7.1.4, and am downloading them for install.
Do any of the updates fix these problems? Or how can it be fixed?
On opening document in Reader, I also get a message informing that document cannot be saved with changes and must be printed, even though I've created it with fillable forms.
Is there some setting for allowing document to be saved?
I want to be able to have recipient be able to download form, fill it out, save changes, attach to email and return it to me.

This has been a problem since version 8 on the mac. Acrobat 7 on the mac worked fine with the right side trim but not on the PC.
We are still having this problem with Acrobat 9.4.0 on the Mac & PC.
This has now been an issue for 2 versions of Acrobat Pro.(8 & 9)
Being in Pre Press and having to constantly set the trim for jobs, this is now taking up too much time and costing money.
Please fix this Adobe.
and on another note. how hard would it be to display the trim (if set) next to where the page size is?
If the trim is set it should display it! why should we have to go to document/crop pages>trim.
Im in a busy Pre Press Dept and the amount of times you have to check a trim size is stupid.
I always set prefs to display crop / trim / and bleed boxes and this helps but it should display it if its set.
Thanks
Hope this is resolved soon.

Sorting in Cross Tab

Hi,
We are using the Cross Tab component in Crystal Report XI and the cross tab have the sorting option as ascending, descending and specific order.
The Sorting order will come from the query as an parameter, in that case how do we achieve the sort order in Cross Tab or how to use the sort in specific order.
Please provide the solution or any reference.
Thanks in advance.

Right click on crosstab and go to Crosstab Expert and in the columns click on "group options" button and in the options tab select "Use a formula as sort order" and write the condition like this
if {?Parameter}="Ascending" then
crAscendingOrder
else
crDescendingOrder
Hope this helps!

A Problem With Sorting via Applescript

Hello everyone. I have always lurked these forums and learnt many things along the way, but this is my first question, and I hope that someone can help me out. I apologise for the huge post.
I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers that I plan to use for a soccer tournament. There are 8 Groups of 4 teams in the competition, so I have set each Group up on its own sheet in order to record the results of the games. Group 1 is on Sheet 1, Group 2 is on Sheet 2 etc. These results are then fed into a second table on the each page in order to create a competition ladder for each group. So far so good, works beautifully. See image:
My next step is sorting these tables so that they form a proper "results table" with the best team on top. My wish is to sort the results table in this order:
Points
Diff
F
Although not very experienced with Applescript, I have written a script to sort all of the 8 sheets so that I don't have to do them one at a time. Unfortunately I find that every second sheet does not sort correctly, even though I am using the same instructions for each seet in my script.
See here, sheet two:
Sheet 3 sorts correctly but not sheet 4, sheet 5 is good but sheet 6 bad etc...
This is my script:
tell application "Numbers"
          tell table "Ladder1" of sheet "Group1" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder1" of sheet "Group1" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder1" of sheet "Group1" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder2" of sheet "Group2" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder2" of sheet "Group2" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder2" of sheet "Group2" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder3" of sheet "Group3" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder3" of sheet "Group3" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder3" of sheet "Group3" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder4" of sheet "Group4" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder4" of sheet "Group4" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder4" of sheet "Group4" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder5" of sheet "Group5" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder5" of sheet "Group5" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder5" of sheet "Group5" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder6" of sheet "Group6" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder6" of sheet "Group6" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder6" of sheet "Group6" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder7" of sheet "Group7" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder7" of sheet "Group7" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder7" of sheet "Group7" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder8" of sheet "Group8" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder8" of sheet "Group8" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder8" of sheet "Group8" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
end tell
Can anybody see any obvious errors with the script? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First I would look at some items to simplify the script:
I did NOT run this.
tell application "Numbers"
          set LadderNumber to 1
          repeat 8 times
       set theLadder to "Ladder" & LadderNumber
       set theGroup to "Group" & LadderNumber
       tell table theLadder of sheet theGroup of document "Manu"
            sort by column "k" direction descending
            sort by column "i" direction descending
            sort by column "g" direction descending
                         end tell
                         set LadderNumber to (LadderNumber + 1)
          end repeat
end tell
I don't see a problem with the script. I suggest adding a dummy table to each sheet and confirming you can set a value in the dummy table from the script (maybe after manually setting the value to some default value). you can also add print dialogs at each step to see what's happening... like:
set aValue to <what ever>
display dialog "The value is: " & aValue
just some thoughts

Customized Sort for Cross-Tab Row

I have a simple Cross-Tab on my report that needs to be sorted in a static Row order.
My cross tab has 1 Row (Name) and 1 column (Total Sales).
Currently the CrossTab sorts the Name Alphabetically (ASC). But I need to specify a specific order. I have added a numeric field to my table and I assign a numeric value to the last names so that I might be able to sort the Name Row based on my "CustomSortOrder" numeric field.
Currently it looks something like this:
A
B
C
D
E
I want it to be: (numeric value behind the scenes)
C (1)
D (2)
E (3)
A (4)
B (5)
ALL OTHERS (9999)
I cant seem to figure out where I need to set this. I have tried adding a group to the report. I have tried setting the Report Sort order. I am out of ideas.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jimmy,
Here's what you need to do :
1) Go to the Crosstab Expert > Remove the existing 'name' field from the 'Row'
3) Add the numeric field as the 'Row'
4) Select the Row > Group Options > Options Tab > Customize Group Name Field > Use formula as a Group Name > Click the formula button beside and use this code:
If {numeric_field} = 9999 then "All Others"
else
{Name_Field}

Still having problems with sorting playlists

I asked these questions a couple weeks ago with no response.
1. I am trying to create a playlist using the latest version of ITunes that is similar to the Today's Hit Music playlist I set up earlier this summer. The 90s music playlist that came with ITunes and this playlist work fine. However, any new playlists created since the upgrade to ITunes 11 do not. In the above scenario where I set up a playlist that only has one rule and that rule is year is greater than whatever, ITunes refuses to sort the playlist by year then by artist, instead sorting the entire playlist by artist. My Today's Hit Music playlist, on the other hand, sorts with the year on top, so every song that I have allowed in the playlist is sorted by year. For example, B.O.B, Pitbull, Taio Cruz and Usher have songs from 2010 in the playlist. Their songs are all sorted alphabetically by artist, then by album as they should be. Then Pitbull, New Boys, and Hot Chelle Ray all have songs from 2011. Under the old system, these would be right below the songs from 2010, but in the new system they are mixed in with the 2010 songs, so Pitbull could have 2 songs back to back that did not come out in the same year. How can I fix this?
2. I have a playlist set up for songs that are not in any other playlist. I had to recreate this playlist the last time I reset my plays because my phone wouldn't remove the songs that were added to the playlist since its creation from the list when it was supposed to. Now however, I am having the same problem with it as I was having with the last playlist. With the old system before ITunes 11, if What I Want by Daudtrey was the first song in that playlist, it would always be the first song, creating a sound that sounded like it was on shuffle, which I thought was cool. Now, it just sorts alphabetically by artist regardless of when it was played. How can I tell ITunes to not rearrange this playlist and just add all new songs to the end?

I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.

Problem with 'sort and filter' feature of embed codes in Excel Online Web App

So my question has to do with the Excel Online feature where you can share a spreadsheet and embed it in a website with the option of allowing users to sort and filter the data. (The option is under the "Interaction" heading.)
One of the options if you look closely is "Let people sort and filter" which is not checked off. In the embed code you can see "AllowInteractivity=False". The problem is that when I check "Let people sort and filter"
the embed code changes completely - going from:
<iframe width="700" height="900" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=dontworryaboutitEDFD383&resid=6BAA9620AEDFD383%21107&authkey=AFj3X8xq2U3IfDE&em=2&wdAllowInteractivity=False&Item='Sheet1'!A1%3AI32"></iframe>
to:

If I manually change 'false' to 'true' that doesn't do the trick so I'm not sure what to try next.
Any thoughts?

Problems with sort, search and write objects o an ArrayList

Hi
Lets say that i have two subclasses (the program is not finished so in the end it can be up to 34 classes) of an abstract superclass. I also got one class which basicly is a register in which i've created an ArrayList of the type <abstractClass>. This means that i store the two subclasses in the arrayList. no problems so far i think (at least eclipse doesn't mind).
1. now, i want to be able to sort the arrayList aswell as search thorugh it. I've tried Collections.sort(arrayList) but it doesn't work. So i have no idea how to solve that.
2.The search-method i made doesn't work as good as i hoped for either. I ask the user to first decide what to search for (choose subclass) and then input the same properties as the subclass we search for. I create a new object of the subclass with these inputs and try arrayList.contains(subClassObject)
it runs but it returns +"false"+ even if i create an object with the exact same properties.
3. If i want to write this arrayList to a txtFile so i can import it another time. Which is the best method? first i just thought i'd convert the arrayList to string and then print every single object to a textfile as strings. that worked but i have no good idea how to import that into the same arrayList later. Then i found ObjectOutputStream and import using inputStream.nextObject(). But that doesn't work :(
Any ideas?
Thank you!
