Sorting based on colour

How to sort in numbers based on colour?

Hi namanehta,
Rows can be sorted on the contents of cells in one or more columns. Colour (of fill or of text in the cell) is formatting, not content, and can't be used as the basis of a sort.
If your colours are the result of conditional formatting, you may be able to use the same conditions to determine the content of cells in a single column. If so, then you would be able to sort on that column.
An answer applying this to your document might be possible, but would require a more specific description of the content of your table.

Barry

Sorting based on a specific value in Columns

Hi All,
Crystal 2008 version I have. And we are connecting to BW queries as source.
In a crosstab, I want to sort my row values based on a column value.
For example, in rows I have an element with three values . In column I have only one element(month), with couple of month values. My requirement is to sort rows based on a specific month (Mar'09 for example).
.....................Jan'09......Feb'09.....Mar'09
ABC...............10.............323...........33....
XYZ...............32..............33............11....
FGH...............5................34.............55...
But when I try to sort based on the Month, I can not select a specific value(mar'09). And it sorts based on the total value (sum of all months).
How can I achieve this problem?
Thanks
Ozan

For {Sort Value}, if you wanted to sort on the Jan column, then substitute the field name that your example shows as 10 in row ABC. For {row value}, substitute the field name that is used in the first column (ABC in the example).
In other words, take the value that you want to sort on, and put it in front of the value currently displaying as the row header. Then, sort on the results.
The purpose of the "000000000.00" is to make the length of the number, when converted to string, a consistent size. This is needed (a) so you know how many characters to strip off when displaying the row value, and (b) so the records don't sort as 1, 12, 2, 234, 235423, 25, 3, ...

F110- Check Sort Based on document number

Hi All,
We are using the program RFFOUS_C to print check when we are doing the payment run F110.
Presently, checks are sorted as per vendor name (Name 1) while printing. We need to print check sorted based on document (Invoice) number, field BELNR. SO, that checks are printed in the same order as we have entered invoices.
But the field BELNR field for sorting is not available in the application REGUH (Correspondence), which is a natural way to check print sorting. (In customizing FBZP, "Payment method in Company Code" form data, Sorting of corrpondence)
Is there a way, we can sort check based on the invoice number (BELNR). .
Thanks
Ron

Hey Ron,
In Free Selection tab on F110 tcode, Pick Field name as BKPF-BELNR (Document number). Now create the proposal and do the payment run.
Thanks

Sorting based on two columns in report

Hi,
we have one issue on sorting based on two columns in report.
In the report we are doing sorting on two columns(week_id and stage_name). I have attached the screen shot for the same. The sorting is first done on the week_id and then on the stage_name. The issue comes when we have no data for the stage 1 - Prospect in W1. The stage goes to the second position.
Please suggest if there is any work around to show the 1 - Prospect stage in W1.
Regards,
Ambika Nanda.

what is w1? where is screenshot? and is stage seoncd sort? if so what is the issue?

URGENT - Does Select Query Sort based on RowId ?

Does Select Query Sort based on RowId ?
Eg: Select * from Employee;
RowId primkey name
aaaa 1 kiran
aaab 2 kumar
aaac 3 someone
Now when i delete the primkey: 2 row.
I will have:
RowId primkey name
aaaa 1 kiran
aaac 3 someone
Now when i insert a new record:
RowId primkey name
aaaa 1 kiran
aaac 3 someone
[Comment: Here the rowid can either be a new one like 'aaad' or 'aaab' is also reused.]
aaad 4 somename
My requirement is that the 'aaab' should not be reused.

How to do a TopN Sort based on a formula

Hi all,
My report has two groups, Store and Department. In the details section are multiple jobs per store with costs. These are subtotalled by Store and Department. I want to compare total spend for each store with the store budget and produce a list of the Top 10 stores based on the percentage actual spend/budget.
My problem is I can only do a Top 10 sort on a summary field and I cannot summarise the percentage field as this is a formula which doesn't seem to allow summaries.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
JD

Jan,
Here are a couple of options.
1) Do the calcuations on the database (thru either a stored proc or command object).
2) Insert a crosstab where the rows are based on the Store and the summarized field is based on the formula that outputs the percentage of the actual vs budget as a Maximum. You can then do a TopN sort on the crosstab

Content Items Sorting based on picklist property fails

Content Server 6.0
We have developed a custom presentation template to display a list of all the work items. While displaying the work items, I would like to sort them based on a property and then filter them based on another property. I have a template code similar to below:
<pcs:foreach var="item" expr="filter(sort(sort(index.folder, 'item.pcs_id', true), 'item.application', true), '(filtered.workflow_status != "Completed")')">
The content item has two properties: application - a picklist, and workflow_status - a picklist.
The above code template does not return any results. However if I change the expression so that I am sorting by a text property, then it displays the results correctly.
For e.g,
<pcs:foreach var="item" expr="filter(sort(sort(index.folder, 'item.pcs_id', true), 'item.name', true), '(filtered.workflow_status != "Completed")')">
(name is a text property of the content item).
Is there another way of accesing a picklist property in sort function to retrieve the desired results? Can somebody point out what am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks
Jignesh.

Sorting based on non-base table columns

I have a form block based on X table. There are also some columns from Y table in the same block and the tables X and Y are joined through the appropriate columns. I want to sort the queried record in the block ( based on table X ) based on two columns that are present in the Y table. How do I do this? Any help would be highly appreciated. Ofcourse! we can create a view and achieve that. But I don't want to create a view. Also I can use select statement in the order by column. But it works if I select one column. But when I select two columns it says too many value. Any solutions

why dont u create a function
and sort by the returning values ?

SSRS - Interactive sorting based on aggregate function

Hi,
I'm trying to add interactive sorting to one of the columns in my tablix.
The soring should be based on the LAST visit date of my child grouping. However interactive sorting is not compatible with aggregate functions apparently.
I'm using the following expression to sort on the period since the last visit:
=DateDiff(
"d"
,LAST(CDate(Fields!Visit_date.Value))
,Today()
Anyone an idea how to get this done?
Regards,
LiskieWhisky

Thanks for the input,
Qiuyun Yu: I already applied your method but my issues is that the visit dates are on de level of my
child grouping and per child multiple visit dates are possible. Since I want to complute the days since the last visit I need to take the last visit date and subtract it from today's date.
As you can see there are 2 dates. To compute the days since the last visit I take the last visit date (2015-04-17)
and subtract it from today (2015-04-27). This gives me 10 days. That's ok, no problem there.
But because I'm using the Last() function, I cannot use this expression in the Interactive sorting expression.
LucasF: You are right, but if it's possible to do this in the report I'd prefer that. But ultimately if it's necessary I'll have to do it in MDX then.
Kind regards,
LiskieWhisky

Controlling Sort based on Value of an Item

Hi all,
Here's the scoop - I've got an Apex "report query" that uses an "advanced" RTF layout. I'd like to send a page item, say P1_SORT_BY with a value of "name" or "count", and make the template dynamically render the appropriate "<?sort ...?>" tag based on that value.
I tried using a "choose" tag to specify the sort order, like this:
<?for-each:ROW?>
<?choose:?>
<?when:P1_SORT_BY='name'?>
<?sort:NAME;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
<?end when?>
<?when:P1_SORT_BY='count'?>
<?sort:COUNT;'ascending';data-type='number'?>
<?end when?>
<?end choose?>
but I can't seem to get it working. I can see that P1_SORT_BY in the template does receive a value. Has anyone done something similar? Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!

I guess, this will add some more insight to you.

Sorting based on a parameter does not work

Hi All
I am using BI Publisher Reports with Siebel CRM 8.1.1.6. I have declared a parameter called "inputsort" in the CRM application as well as in the template by using <?param@begin:inputsort?> within the template. I can display the current value of the parameter using <?$inputsort?> without issues.
However, when I try using this parameter for sorting, it doesn work:
The report is created for a list of event attendees. When I do this, sorting works:
<?for-each:EeventsEventCheckAttendee?><?sort:ContactLastName?>
BUT when I do this, sorting does not work:
<?for-each:EeventsEventCheckAttendee?><?sort:$inputsort?>
although the parameter $inputsort does have a value of "ContactLastName".
What could be the reason??

never mind, I found the solution myself. For some reason, the correct way is:
<?for-each:EeventsEventCheckAttendee?><?sort:./*[name(.) = $inputsort]?>
I don't know why, but it works.
