Question - Sorting by a specified order that is neither Z to A, or A to Z -- is this possible and how?

I need records sorted in a specified order using a text field where A to Z or Z to A won't work.  An example would be Orange, Banana, Cherry.  How do I make it happen?

Hi OceanDr,
Based on your description, you want to Sorting by a specified order, neither A to Z nor Z to A. If in this scenario, we can try to add a calculated field to convert the values of the field to a, b, c, d… depend on the specified order. Then Sorting the field
by A to Z to achieve your requirement. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
Right-click the dataset to add a calculated field named Order with the expression like below:
=switch(Fields!LineCode.Value="Orange","A",Fields!LineCode.Value="Banana","B",Fields!LineCode.Value="Cherry","C")
Right-click the report item to open the properties dialog box.
Click Sorting in the left pane, then add a sorting as below:
Sort by: [Order]                                                                  
Order: A to Z
If you have any other questions, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

    Note that you should be cautious when you get the 'untrusted' error message and that you should never create a permanent exception in cases like this without investigating the cause.
    If you have created a permanent exception then best is to remove it in the Server tab in the Certificate Manager.

    Error 1053  The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

  • Received message that my start up disk is almost full. Where is this located and how do I know what I can delete?

    Received a message that my start up disk is almost full. Where do I locate my start up disk / files and how do I know what i can delete from this folder to make more space?

    Start up disk is the main, and only, internal disk of your computer.
    I hope you know what you saved on it, so you also know what can be removed

  • My iCloud backup is on a completely different Apple ID that I don't even recognize? How is this possible and how do I restore my phone?! I'm ******. Is it possible that someone has hacked my iCloud?

    I was updating to the new ios8. I got to where I could choose a backup method from icloud or iTunes. My very latest backup was on icloud yesterday so I went with icloud. It showed me backups from yesterday, Oct 9th, and Oct 8th. I chose yesterday. I was then prompted to enter the Apple ID password for "this just in [email protected]" (no spaces). I have no freaking clue who's account that is but it IS NOT mine. So I hit the back button and tried with the other two but got the same thing. This is freaking me out now. Does someone else have access to my cloud? How do I restore my phone now since I obviously do not have the password for this account? What do I do? I'm ******!

    Did you buy a used iPhone? It appears that it's locked to that account.
    However, before going nuts, try this step by step suggestion to change iCloud accounts.

  • Driver missing from Q10. When I link my Q10 to Blackberry Link and try to sync my music etc a notice appears telling me that a driver is missing. Does anyone know what driver this is and how to download it? I have downloaded all recent updates but I still

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    A little more info would help, such as do you have a PC or Mac ?
    What is your computer OS ?
    Assuming you have a PC, go to Control Panel, Device Manager, see if there are any yellow exclamation marks.
    If there are click the + to expand, right click the driver and choose update.
    If that does not work you can try these:  https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB06...
    But I do think you may have some conflict on your computer.
    Are there any other issues with your computer ?

  • I got an Itunes card and when I loaded it itunes downloaded an album that I did not order; so my question is how did this happen and how do I find out how much this album costs cause I would like to get my money back.

    My wife got me an iTunes card today and as soon as I redeemed it a music album that I did not order downloaded and deducted the cost from my iTunes card. I did this happen and how can I get my money back? I do not listen to the type of music that was downloaded and feel like I was robbed in a way cause the only way things are suppose to download is if I click on them and enter my password. Please let me know if there is anything I can do and am I the only person this has happened to?
    Thank you

    Thank you Niel,
    My wife loaded her ITunes card right after I loaded mine and the album did not and still has not loaded onto her phone so we think it could be in my settings we are going to check into that but I did have money removed my account so thank you for the link to the form.

  • I have a 21" iMac that only boots as far as a folder icon with a question mark in it.  Anyone know what this means and how to fix it?

    I have a 21" iMac that only boots as far as a folder icon with a question mark in it.  Anyone know what this means and how to fix it?

    It usually means your OS has corrupted files. You need to reinstall OS X.
    If you are using Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
    If you are using Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.

  • What are the entities that can be re-used in different servers, SI App, SI instance? And how?

    Greetings,
    What are the entities that can be re-used in different servers, SI App, SI instance? And how?
    e.g. can I use a deployed IQStreamable@app1  into app2?
    can I use a deployed observable/app1/siInstance1/Server1 into another query/app3/siInstance3/server2?
    On the presentation titled "04 – Installing, Deploying and Maintaining the SQL Server 2008 R2 StreamInsight Runtime Engine" with file name SQL10R2UPD05-DECK-04.pptx on ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/learn/SQL2008R2TrainingKit/Presentations/SQL10R2UPD05-DECK-04/SQL10R2UPD05-DECK-04.pptx
    It is mentioned one of the deployment option is "Deployment: Standalone Server"
    and it mention the following:
    "Use this option for the following scenarios:
    - Metadata objects need to be shared between applications
      - Event Types
      - Adapter Types
      - Query Templates
    - A data source registered with the server provides an event stream for another existing application"
    Could you please provide good example that explain the above statement?
    Cheers, Muhammad

    First, that statement - and those materials - refer to the "legacy" StreamInsight query/adapter model. They do not refer to how things work with the Reactive model introduced in version 2.1. Specifically, it talks about Dynamic Query Composition (DQC).
    You cannot use a deployed Observable in another instance of StreamInsight. You may be able to use them across applications in the same instance - off the top of my head, I'm not sure. I'm getting ready to get on a plane but will take a look at it later.
    Typically, however, applications act as containers (comparable to .NET AppDomains) so I don't think that you'd be able to do this easily. That said, the code and assemblies
    can be reused across multiple instances/applications. You would have separate instances of the classes involved but you would be able to reuse the query logic. That's a common use case.
    Can you be more specific about your use case and what you are trying to accomplish here? It's possible that there are alternative ways to do what you are trying to do.

  • I read that I can have iworks for free on my iPad if I own a copy for my computer. Is this correct, and how do I download it wit out being charged?

    I read that I can have iworks for free on my iPad if I own a copy for my computer. Is this correct, and how do I download it without being charged?

    There really is nothing more to say than what Allan has already said, but to explain just a little further, what you may have read is that once you purchase an iOS app in the app store, you do not have to purchase it again if you need to download it to another iOS device. In other words once you buy the app, you can load it onto unlimited iPhones, iPod Touches or iPads.
    You must be using the same iTunes account that you originally purchased the app with in order to download it again. But as Allan said, just because you have it on your Mac does not entitle you to download it free to your iPad.

  • I can't log in to my computer- when it turns on it has a white/gray screen with a flashing folder with a question mark in it.  What does this mean and how can I get it to stop to log in?

    Hi
    I dropped my macbook yesterday and it turned itself off. When I tried to turn it back on all I got was a white/gray screen with a flash folder with a ? in the middle of it?  What does this mean and how do I get it to stop so I can log onto my laptop?

    Deev
    Normally the question mark on the gray screen means it can't find the operating system. Have you tried booting up from the installation DVD? Do that, and when you come to the screen where it wants to begin a system installation you'll notice in the menubar where it say's utilites. Click on that and choose disk utility. from there choose your disk and try to verify and repair the disk. If you can you may want to also try and new install of the system. I don't know how much critical data you have, but reinstalling is an option. did you purcahse you from an Apple store? If you did you may want them to look at it. Hope this helps.

  • I am trying to update itunes to 11.1.1.11 and i keep getting 'erreo writing to file : C\ : Config.Ms\301ded48.rfb.Verify that you have access to that directory'. What does this mean and how can i fix it?

    I am trying to update itunes to 11.1.1.11 and keep getting message at the end ' error writing to file :c:\Config.Msi\301ded48.rbf.Verify that you have access to that directory'. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    I had this exact same problem just now, trying to upgrade to 10.7.
    I even got that error msg when trying to UNINSTALL iTunes!
    After hours of frustration trying everyone's different suggestions, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller http://www.cnet.com.au/apps/revo-uninstaller-10610875/ which solved the problem.
    Use it to help uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    1. iTunes
    2. QuickTime
    3. Apple Software Update
    4. Apple Mobile Device Support
    5. Bonjour
    6. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Then you can install iTunes from scratch.
    Good luck

  • When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it?

    When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it? I am using a pc laptop if that makes any difference.

    Try reading through this thread: key not valid for use in specified state. Possible solution involves moving the RSA folder. Rather than deleting it as aniwack suggested I'd try this:
    For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.
