I am trying to sort a matrix by column. I first tried adding an interactive sort to the column heading, but it either gave me a run-time error, or there was not response. I then tried adding sorting to the row groups, and that doesn't seem to work either. I feel I have done every combination of groupings and sort expressions. Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Thanks, Kris
Hi. I need to implement a matrix that supports column sorting just like a table. For example, given a matrix that contains...
Col1 Col2Row1 1 8Row2 2 6Row3 3 7
...if the user clicks on "Col2", I need the matrix to look like this:
Col1 Col2Row2 2 6 Row3 3 7Row1 1 8
I cannot use the interactive sort feature since the matrix must be WYSIWYG with the printed copy and the built-in interactive sort arrows do appear in printed output.
Here's my partial solution; my hope is that someone can point me in the right direction from here:
When the user clicks on a column heading I will jump to a URL such as: http://myserver/myreport.aspx?SortField=Col2&SortDirection=Ascending
SortField and SortDirection are parsed by the web app and passed as parameters to my report.
So, after the user clicks on Col2 the report knows the following: Parameters!SortField.Value = "Col2" and Parameters!SortDirection.Value = "Ascending"
Given this information, is there a way to tell the report's matrix to actually display the data in the order shown in the example above.
You say, "we enjoy the option of specifying sorting for multiple columns within the matrix, table or list within which we are working." But, when I add interactive sorting to the headers of a matrix, the up and down toggles appear in the preview, but the rows are not sorted after clicking.
This works perfectly fine on tables, as you say, but I have yet to see it on a matrix.
I have created a Matrix report with 5 row groups (Company and ProductName, ProductEndDate), one column group (Status) and two data columns(Amount & Count).
The report works fine except that it does not sort properly. I want to sort the data by Company, ProductEndDate, ProductName.
I took the following steps -- I highlighted the matrix and in the properties dialog box, selected the groups tab. In groups I selected each row group, hit the edit button, clicked the sorting tab and Company, ProductEndDate, ProductName.
I have a matrix with the rows consisting of customers and the columns consisting of different revenue streams. The revenue streams are totalled using the matrix subtotal feature. I would like to sort, either interactively or statically (if that is the only option) by the subtotal column. I've read through everything I can find online and even the solutions that appear to be appropriate do not work. Can anyone give me a suggestion?
I have a matrix report...the column results are as follows
Con Std , Con Access, SF Std, SF Acc, Broadband, Pay TV
how would i make the columns appear in the above order when displaying as it is default alphetically sorted...I have tried putting numbers at the front which work till I get to the number 10 which alphetically sorted is next to 1 not 9? is there a better way off sorting matrix column which have no specific criteria to sort from?
We have a matrix report which displays columns in a default sorting order. This report columns vary dynamically depending on the user input.
e.g. If user wants to see the report for column Alfa, Beta , Gama then a report will be genarted with column Alfa, Beta , Gama sorted in alphabetical order.
Site %Risk Alfa Beta Gama
X 2 1 2 3
Y 10 4 5 6 However the users want the Columns to be sorted in the order which they provide the inputs e.g. if the user entered Gama, Alfa, Beta the report should display the columns in the same order instead of applying the default sorting order.
Site %Risk Gama Alfa Beta
X 2 3 1 2
Y 10 6 4 5
Any thoughts on ways to achieve this in SSRS matrix report would really help.
I am creating a Matrix report using SSRS/Visual Studio 2008 as below:
Jan Feb March April May June July Aug Sept Oct
A & B are customers. The values represent sales for each month.I have got most parts in place except the Month are displayed in random order (1,10,2,3,4,5,6 and so on).I have tried the option to create a calculated column with month numbers and change group properties but that did not work.how to get it to sort display as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.
I am facing one problem with reporting services 2005 (SSRS), When i try to pass a parameter to Cube which is built in SSAS, i can not use a parameter where i can type the value instead of choosing it from a dimension.
Any way we can type the value for parameter, instead choosing from the drop down? If can, then how can we create the parameter? and how can i write a MDX to read it?
I have a matrix report with 2 column SaleAmount and ProfitAmounts by Month like
Sale Profit Dealer 5/1/2007 6/1/2007 7/1/2007 5/1/2007 6/1/2007 7/1/2007 A 100 200 300 20 25 15 B 200 250 50 30 45 19
how can i do following 3 things
1)Add Total column for Sale and Average column for Profit 2)Sort report by lastMonth of Sale (here 7/1/2007) High to low 3)if last month of sale(here 7/1/2007) is less than second last month here (6/1/2007) whole row should be red
I have a report where I am giving the users a parameter so that they can select which field they would like to sort on.The report is also grouping by that field. I have a gruping section, where i have added code to group on the field I want based on this parameter, however I also would like to changing the sorting order but I checked around and I did not find any info.
So here is my example. I am showing sales order info.The user can sort and group by SalesPerson or Customer. Right now, I have code on my dataset to sort by SalesPerson Code and Order No.So far the grouping workds, however the sorting does not.
SSRS 2012 - VS2010...The report compares two years with a sort order on a value that has been engineered based on text switched to int. Â When sorting A-Z this is the result in the horizontal axis is: 5th, K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th..When sorting Z-A the result in the horizontal axis is:5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, PreK..Z-A is correct but A-Z sorting shows 5th as the start and end. Â The magnitude of the PreK location is correct but the label is wrong on the A-Z sort order. Â The sorting is implemented using the Category Group sorting option.
I got the following code to add a column in a matrix with a variance:
IIF(IsNothing(Previous(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value))) or Fields!year.Value=First(Fields!year.Value,"Category") or Previous(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value))=0,nothing, ( (Fields!Amount.Value) /Previous(sum(Fields!Amount.Value)) ) )
This code works fine, except that the first row of the matrix shows an #error
This happens with each matrix where I use this expression. A warning emerges:
rsruntimeerrorinexpression the value expression for the textrun Textbox43.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]' contains an error.
Attempted to divide by zero.
The strange thing is that the part
Fields!year.Value=First(Fields!year.Value,"Category") should prevent an error and I expect it to show 'nothing'
An screenshot of the table. (each color is a different category. Each row stands for 2013, 2014, 2015)
As you can see, all other 2013 rows show a blank cell, except the first row.
I have a Matrix table that expands to the right when choosing an amount of months to be shown. Under this matrix I have to Charts. The two charts are situated together, that is no space between them, and to the left of the report.
Now, if I choose a lot of months, say three years the matrix diagram will be huge to the right. The problem I have is that the second diagram, the one on the right, moves to the right depending on how big the report gets, and this is not good at all. The two charts are supposed to be all the way to the left.
Hello. I hope to explain myself well - I want to make a matrix with two rows. Lats say my data is this: I hava a list of months and in every month I have a number of pepole and there age. How can I show this in a matrix? It need to be in a matrix since I need the columns to expand acording to the month but I don't know how to create two diffrent rows in my matrix.
I have a report thats fully functional. I just want to add a filter so that my "Visits" field only displays the Visits per day that are less then 6. When i try to filter out the matrix or the group, it tells me the datatypes are different . Something about int32. Its in a matrix, but i have seen this happen in a table too, so i guessing thats not the problem. I just want to be able to display the information for Sales Reps with less then 6 Visits. Any help, will be greatlly appreciated.
Adding more columns in a matrix report that don€™t belong to the columns drilldown dimensions€¦
That is, for example, having the following report:
Product Family
Product
Country City Number of units sold
Then I would add some ratios, that is, Units Sold/Months (sold per month) and other that is the average for Product Family (Units Sold/Number of Product Family), for putting an example€¦ some columns should be precalculated prior to the report so do not get into it, the real problem I don€™t see how to solve is adding one or two columns for showing these calculated column that doesn€™t depend on the column groups but they do for the rows groups€¦
Any guidance on that?
The only way I am seeing by now is to set it as two different reports, and that is not what my client wants€¦
I have a matrix in my report that is based on an MDX query. I copy-paste the matrix and then see the two matrices in the report and all is fine.
I then insert a group into the second matrix. When I run the report the second matrix appears as I would expect, but the cells are blank in the first matrix. Sometime all the data cells are blank, but not the totals.
I tried a similair thing with a table. I added a table based on the same MDX dataset and the cells in the matrix were also then blanked out.
I made sure that the matrices were not sitting on top of each or even in the same space.
The goal here is to show the same dataset but with different groupings. I thought of doing drilldowns, drillthroughs, etc. but this is the way they want to see the data.
Ok this is what I have $query = $query = "SELECT date, file name FROM comment WHERE file name ='', AND CorS='C', AND Approved='Y', ORDER BY file name DESC";
But what I want is to return all results based on the file name from the most recent to the oldest. Can anyone help????
here's a good one for you...I want to return the last 20 records I have modified. I have adatemodified field - excellent.So I run a query to select the top 20 when ordered by datemodifieddesc.But now I have these results I want them sorted by companyname.Is this possible?Yes I could use my GUI to do the second sort, but can it be done justin a query?ThanksTim
I have a gridview that has AllowSorting="true" however I need to implement my own sorting because I have DateTime and Integer data types in several of the columns and I don't want an int column sorted like 1,12,2,23,3,34,4,45,5,56, etc. So, I've added SortParameterName="sortBy" and adjusted my stored procedure to accept this. For only ASC sorting, I've got ORDER BY CASE WHEN @sortBy='' THEN DateCreated END, CASE WHEN @sortBy='DateCreated' THEN DateCreated END and so on. However, columns can also be sorted with DESC. I tried CASE WHEN @sortBy='DateCreated DESC' THEN DateCreated DESC END, but I get a syntax error on DESC. How can I do this?
I am trying to set up custom paging and sorting with my gridview. All is well but the sorting. The problem is with the stored procedure. If I pass in the value @sortExpression as, for example "discussions_Posts.post_time", i does not sort it at all. But if I replace the @sortExpression with discussions_Posts.post_time in the actual stored procedure, it gets sorted. how do I sort this query with a input parameter with values like "discussions_Topics.topic_title" or something? ALTER PROCEDURE discussions_GetTopicsSubSet@startRowIndex as int,@maximumRows as int,@sortExpression as nvarchar(50),@board_id as intASDECLARE @Topics TABLE(RowNumber INT,topic_id INT,topic_title VARCHAR(50),topic_replies INT,topic_views INT,topic_type INT,topic_time DATETIME,post_id int,post_time DATETIME,Topic_Author_UserName nvarchar(256),Topic_Author_ID uniqueidentifier,Post_Author_Username nvarchar(256),Post_Author_ID uniqueidentifier)--DECLARE @TopicsFrom Datetime--SELECT @TopicsFrom = CASE @TopicsDays WHEN '1' THEN DATEADD(day,-1,getdate()) WHEN '2' THEN DATEADD(day,-7,getdate()) WHEN '3' THEN DATEADD(day,-14,getdate()) WHEN '4' THEN DATEADD(month,-1,getdate()) WHEN '5' THEN DATEADD(month,-3,getdate()) WHEN '6' THEN DATEADD(month,-6,getdate()) WHEN '7' THEN DATEADD(year,-1,getdate()) ELSE DATEADD(year,-1,getdate()) END-- populate the table CAST(getdate() as int)INSERT INTO @TopicsSELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY @sortExpression), discussions_Topics.topic_id, discussions_Topics.topic_title, discussions_Topics.topic_replies, discussions_Topics.topic_views, discussions_Topics.topic_type,discussions_Topics.topic_time, discussions_Posts.post_id, discussions_Posts.post_time, user_1.UserName AS Topic_Author_Username, user_1.UserId AS Topic_Author_ID, user_2.UserName AS Post_Author_Username, user_2.UserId AS Post_Author_IDFROM discussions_Topics INNER JOIN discussions_Posts ON discussions_Posts.post_id = discussions_Topics.topic_last_post_id INNER JOIN aspnet_Users AS user_1 ON user_1.UserId = discussions_Topics.topic_poster INNER JOIN aspnet_Users AS user_2 ON user_2.UserId = discussions_Posts.poster_idWHERE (discussions_Topics.board_id = @board_id ANDdiscussions_Topics.topic_type NOT LIKE '1' )SELECT * from @TopicsWHERE RowNumber BETWEEN @startRowIndex AND (@startRowIndex + @maximumRows) - 1
This is more of a SQL question than a .NET question, but if you could indulge me, I'd appreciate it. I have a table that has 2 columns of particular interest for the purposes of this question. One is a foreign key to another table (int), the other is a name (varchar(50). I want to sort the results set in a specific way. I want to sort it in such a way that all entries that have the foreign key = 0 come first (sorted ASC by name) then I'd like all the other results with foreign key column > 0 to be sorted ASC by name. I was trying to be cute and tried an order by statement like this: "ORDER BY (foreignKey > 0), name" but it's a syntax error (as I initially thought it might be). I know I could probably do a stored procedure that will create a temporary table and I could insert a new column to help put these in order, and I also know I could put all the results into an array, then sort the array in code, but I was just wondering if there was a simpler, slicker way (tricky SQL query perhaps).
Hi, I hope I can explain what I am trying to achieve (in MS SQL Server): The results set that shows Names and Dates (plus others, but not relevant here), that needs to be sorted by Date and then by name. I have tried: ORDER BY date, surname, forename (gives dates in right order but not names) and ORDER BY surname, forename, date (gives names in right order but not dates)
I noticed when looking at the execution path that the SQL sort (order by) was taking up 16% of the total for the query. However the execution time for the sort was like .007 ms in SQL so I doubt it was really that much overhead.
Is it more effecient to sort a dataset within my asp.net program?
i have a simple table with NAME and a SORTORDER. Now i want to sort my table on the NAME desc and then insert a number into the SORTORDER. The number has to correspond with the number the NAME has in the list.
EXAMPLE
Initial situation: BAKKER 0 AKKER 0 CARNIE 0
Now my question is how can i update the table with a sp in wich te outcome is:
I'm trying to sort by domain user id, I can pull the user id fine but now I want to sort my SELECT by that name. How do I put the value of getUserIdentity into my SELECT statment. Thanks <script language="C#" runat="server"> protected string getUserIdentity() { return HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString().Replace("DOMAIN\", ""); } protected void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) { username = getUserIdentity(); SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=CLIENTELE;Initial Catalog=forms;Integrated Security=True"); SqlDataAdapter myCommand = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM formTable WHERE userID = @username ORDER BY status DESC", myConnection); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); myCommand.Fill(ds, "names"); MyDataGrid.DataSource=ds.Tables["names"].DefaultView; MyDataGrid.DataBind(); } </script>
i am trying to figure out how to sort the data in a column in an ascending way when the column contains numeric and char data. In the example I want to sort by category,lookup value. However, as you can see the top two rows are sorted right but the others are all messed up. I would really appreciate any hints you can give me. thanks Rozina
