Sorting records based on multiple columns

Hi All,
Please provide SQK query to sort the records in multiple columns
based on NON NULL and NULL values.
SID SNUMBER UNIT COUNTRY STATE
0 M14762 DE 0
NULL    NULL            NULL    NULL
0 990 GB
0 M14704 IE 0
M14767 IE 0
0 M14704 FR 0
0 M15351 990 GB
          FR 0
0 D10693 800 GB 0
NULL    NULL            NULL    NULL
0 D10693 800 GB 0
If all column values are NOT NULL those records should come first.
If first column(SID) values are NOT NULL those records should come next.
If second column(SNUMBER) values are NOT NULL those records should come next.
If third column(UNIT) values are NOT NULL those records should come next.
If fourth column(COUNTRY) values are NOT NULL those records should come next.
If fifth column(STATE) values are NOT NULL those records should come next.
If all the column values are NULL those records should come last.
The output should be like this.
SID SNUMBER UNIT COUNTRY STATE
0 D10693 800 GB 0
0 D10693 800 GB 0
0 M14762 DE 0
0 990 GB

0 M14704 FR 0
0 M15351 990 GB

          FR 0
NULL    NULL            NULL    NULL
NULL    NULL            NULL    NULL

Thanks.

Problem - Sort output in table (multiple columns)

Dear all,
First of all - Best wishes for 2008.
I probably have an easy matter, but i can't figure it out, and on this forum very little is mentioned about the sort operator, so therefore this new post.
I have a dashboard with some input fields (dropdown boxes).
I have a table (as result of query) and this works fine. The table consists of several columns. (so far no rocket science).
Generally the structure of the table is like:
IM SBU | App. Request key | App. Request | etc....
I want the IM SBU colum to be sorted (assending or decending doenst matter).
But somehow the second column is the one where the data is sorted (standard).
My guess this happends because its a key value? or its because it starts with an A (and the other with and I).
So i insert the sort opperator, add an object (IM SBU) and select up. Then from that opperator i create a table.
This results in a table with just 1 column (IM SBU).
So i tried several things.
I tried to sort on the IM SBU key (this gives the same result).
I added all colums as an object of the sort opperator...but this still gives the same result of just 1 column.
Any ideas?
Regards.
Bart

Dear all.
I'm wondering if anybody else experienced errors with the sort and the amount of columns shown in a table????
In general i have a query and want a table as output with 8 columns (sorted by 1 object). I figured out the following and will demonstrate it with 4 situations.
Situation1 (auto fit table without sort)
In the properties of the table i select 'frame style'= 'Primary frame' and "fit content" = 'auto'. I run the dashboard and the content of the query is good. All columns are shown and the chart width is auto determined.
Situation 2 (auto fit table with sort)
I want to sort on 1 object, so from query i insert a sort (select object), and from sort i create table. Then i select 'frame style'= 'Primary frame' and "fit content" = 'auto'. I run the dashboard and the content of the query is NOT good. I just get to see 1 column. But i selected 8 columns.
Situation 3 (actual fit table with sort)
I want to sort on 1 object, so from query i insert a sort, and from sort i create table. Then i select 'frame style'= 'Primary frame' and select "fit content" = 'actual size'. I run the dashboard and the content of the query is good (but not what i want). I get to see all 8 columns. But the table is smaller than i want. I doenst auto fit.
Situation 4 (fit width table with sort)
I want to sort on 1 object, so from query i insert a sort (select object), and from sort i create table. Then i select 'frame style'= 'Primary frame' and "fit content" = 'fit width'. I run the dashboard and the content of the query is NOT good. I just get to see 1 column (again). But i selected 8 columns.
Any suggestions?
Any known work arounds?
Or is this an error in VC and should i request a note?
Regards.

Retrieve records based on a column value

Hi,
I want to retrieve all the records from a table where the first name column value is

Thank in advance for anyone who might reply.
Arjun

either of the two is ok.
where upper(name) = 'GEORGE'

SSIS + split 1 row in multiple rows based on multiple columns

Hi all,
I have a flat file
Shop ID Check 1 Check 2 Check 3
500 OK
OK NOK
I want to transform this to staging as 3 rows
Shop ID Check number
Result
500 1
OK
500 2
OK
500 3
NOK
Anyone can tell me how to tackle this?

I basically have a table that has the columns I specified
Shop Check 1
Check 2 Check 3
500 OK
OK NOK
I now want to actually have them loaded in another table where I have multiple rows for each shop.
Shop Check
Result
500
1 ok
500 2
ok
500 3
nok
So basically I want to go from a column view to a row view. Is this possible?
In other words, I do see multiple rows for each shop ID which is awesome! But I would like to have instead of the result that number of the check. (1,2,3) with the result next to it :)
500 OK
500 OK

Selecting one of several similar records based on a column value

Ok, here is the table structure:
test_name     test_count     test_result
ABC          1          2.5
ABC          2          2.6
ABC          3          2.7
BCD          1          1.5
CDE          1          3.0
DEF          1          7.6
and so on...
As you can tell, the top three tests are the same test, but have different results, I need to pull just one record which has the highest test count. I tried
SELECT test_name, test_count, test_result
FROM test
WHERE test_count = (
SELECT max(test_count)
FROM test)
...as you can tell, it will only return ABC, 3, 2.7, while I want it to return ABC test with highest count as well as other 3 tests...please help!

This is just one of at least three possible ways to do this, but my personal favorite which uses an analytic function:
sql>select * from test;
TES TEST_COUNT TEST_RESULT
ABC          1         2.5
ABC          2         2.6
ABC          3         2.7
BCD          1         1.5
CDE          1           3
DEF          1         7.6
6 rows selected.
sql>select test_name, test_count, test_result
2    from (select t.*,
3                 row_number() over (partition by test_name order by test_result desc) rn
4            from test t)
5   where rn = 1;
TES TEST_COUNT TEST_RESULT
ABC          3         2.7
BCD          1         1.5
CDE          1           3
DEF          1         7.6
4 rows selected.

Selecting Records based on multiple values in one field

Excuse the basic request.
I want to select all records from one table depending on the value in 2 specific fields. Each of these fields has a single value in it.
What I have written is as below
1.select nm_idno "EZAID", nm_fname, nm_lname, nm_et_tt "Position", nm_mt_mt "Status", nm_type, nm_wemal, nm_mailshot from MNME
2.where nm_type = 'M' and where nm_mailshot = 'Y' and nm_wemal > ' '
3.and where nm_mt_mt = (1 or 6 or 3 or 10) *** these are the bits that I don't understand why they will not work.
4. and where nm_et_tt = (408 or 329 or 283)
Basically every record should have one of the values I have highlighted in it.
Any help greatly appreciated.

select nm_idno "EZAID"
      ,nm_fname
      ,nm_lname
      ,nm_et_tt "Position"
      ,nm_mt_mt "Status"
      ,nm_type
      ,nm_wemal
      ,nm_mailshot
from   MNME
where nm_type = 'M'
and    nm_mailshot = 'Y'
and    nm_wemal > ' ' --< not sure what you mean here
and    nm_mt_mt IN (1, 6, 3, 10)
and    nm_et_tt IN (408, 329, 283)

Multiple Column Sorting in iTunes

I have seen many conversations around the edges of this, but no answers. I am curious if it is possible to configure a custom sort in iTunes involving multiple columns.
Here is what I would like to end up with - Artist; Sort Show (where I have stored the release date); Album; Disk Number; Track Number. Seeing my albums in chronological order is the way I always sorted physical albums, I would like to store my virtual ones the same way. iTunes allows me to use Album by Artist and then sort by Sort Show, but this then displays the tracks in alphabetic order by name!
Identifying multiple sort columns (as in Excel) would be ideal. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Dave

It is a database internally, and there are some multivalued sorts, but as users we don't get to specify custom sort orders. Album by Artist is more properly Album by Album Artist and in pseudo-SQL it would go something like this.
SELECT * FROM Selection ORDER BY SortAlbumArtist, SortAlbum, Disc# , Track#
Where there is no SortAlbumArtist it is inferred from the first non-empty value of AlbumArtist, SortArtist or Artist.
Where there is no SortAlbum it is inferred from Album.
The Disc# & Track# sorts place empties last.
Presumably the designers think they've included useful options and adding nested sorting features would be too complicated, but you can make suggestions via iTunes Feedback.

Multiple columns from a query sorted vertically

Is it possible to sort a query resultset vertically, with
multiple columns across the page, in the following manner, with
page breaks after 40 rows? I can get it to sort horizontally just
fine with tables, but how can it be done vertically as shown?
JONES, Abby JONES, Betty JONES, Dawn JONES, Frank
JONES, Adam JONES, Bill JONES, Debbie JONES, Gayle
JONES, Alice JONES, Bob JONES, Denton JONES, Henry
JONES, Ben JONES, Cathy JONES, Emma JONES, John

This will get you started. I assume you had the appropriate
order by clause in your query. I also assume you want 4 columns per
line.
My approach would be to convert the query to an array and
then output the array.
columns = 4;
maxrows = 40;
recordsperpage = columns * rows;
records = query.recordcount;
myArray = ArrayNew(2);
ThisColumn = 1;
ThisRow = 1;
if (records gt recordsperpage)
LoopTill = recordsperpage;
else
LoopTill = records;
for ( ii = 1; ii lte LoopTill; ii = ii + 1){
myArray[ThisRow][ThisColumn] = query.field[ii];
increment ThisRow;
if (ThisRow = MaxRows + 1) {
ThisRow = 1;
increment ThisColumn;
} // if
} // looop
You can do the rest

How to sort on Multiple columns in WebI report

Hi
I am working in BO XI R2. I have a report containing two columns in a section. Section is on Fiscal Year- Fiscal year includes calendar year 2010 and 2011.

I first sorted calendar year column so that it shows

Hi,
Thanks for immediate reply.
PH1, PH2, PH3, ... will go more columns based on parameter , what we are passing.An single SQL statement cannot have a dynamic number of columns based on the data itself. The projection (columns returned) have to be known before any data is fetched... and that includes some 'parameter' value.
{thread:id=2309172}
You can build a query dynamically, based on a parameter or even on the data, but 99 times out 100 people use dynamic queries where they are not needed.
Perhaps explain to us what you are really trying to achieve and why, and we could suggest some better way.

Multiple column sorting on JTable data

Thank's in advance

I think the crosspost is because the OP was advised to post it in the Swing forum instead (it would've been nice to see the original post closed as well, though). Anyway...
Have you got your table sorting using one column? If so, how have you achieved that (eg, are you using Java 6)?
All you're after is a stable sorting algorithm so that any elements that are the same in the new sorting scheme stay in the same position relative to each other. Then you can just sort by "Column B" then "Column A" to achieve multiple column sorting. I believe that Collections.sort is stable and therefore any sorting approach based on that should be easily modifiable to do what you want.
Hope this helps.

I am unable to sort multiple columns in a table created in Pages.

I had been using Appleworks up until I installed Lion and have now switched to iWork. I created a table within a Pages document and am able to sort a single column (using the Table Inspector and choosing Sort from Edit Rows and Columns) but the Sort option is grayed out when I attempt to sort multiple columns.
In another post, someone talked about this being a problem if you have merged fields. I do not believe I have done this (to be honest I don't know the function of merging fields).
This is very frustrating as I was easily able to sort these tables in Appleworks.

Thanks for your quick response! I have been trying that but then found that Numbers would only let me print in landscape view so I had to paste the table back into Pages. Is there a way to print in portrat view (from Numbers?)
Not so. In the lower left corner of the window, there's an icon that looks like a piece of paper. If you see this:
you are in Sheet View, or normal, mode. If you see this:
You are in Print View mode. Now you see the icons for portrait and landscape modes. Click your choice. Then arrange your content to fit the pages as you wish.

Hi Kartheek,
do a where-used-list on function F4_INT_HELP_VALUE_REQUEST, start with B* programs.
Or do a search on SCN and find [ABAP Code Sample to Attach F1 and F4 Help Fields in ALV Grid|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/b3d5e890-0201-0010-c0ac-bba85ec2ae8d] and [view the code sample|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b3d5e890-0201-0010-c0ac-bba85ec2ae8d?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true].
I hope your approved programming skills allow you to copy&paste.

Can data be sorted by multiple columns in numbers version 3

Since upgrading Numbers to version 3 (now 3.0.1) I have been unable to sort data in spreadsheets using multiple columns. Anyone found a solution?

Here's a simple example. Say you want this sorted first by Region then by Name then by Amount.
So if you set up a sort index column with a simple formula and all you have to do is this (two clicks):
Giving you this:
Of course you could do it as I think Hiroto is suggesting and manually sort first by column B, then sort by C, then sort by A.
But that's a lot of trouble and it's easy to confuse the order so you end up having to start over again.
