Sorting Matrix Column In Random Order
Aug 14, 2007
Hi,
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?
thanks

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?
Thanks,
Zack Gallinger

I am trying to sort this simplied table:
ID - Time
1 2000-2001
2 2002-
3 2001-2003
4 1999
5 2005-2006
I want this as a result:
1999
2000-2001
2001-2003
2005-2006
2002-
Because the "-" means "continues", it the thing is still activated, so if it makes it easier, i could put the today's year afterwards during the query, if it ends with a - ...
Now, simply doing a
SELECT * FROM [table] ORDER BY TIME;
Sorts it "perfectly", apart from the "2002-" is just placed before 2005 and after 2001.
So, of course, it fails on all entries with a leading "-" ...
Right when I clicked "submit", of course, I can simply replace all entries with a time ending with "-", with the todays Year, so at least they will get at the end of the query...
Well, have to do a union, first sorting all without the "-", then sorting all with the "-", and that should be it...

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.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Bill,
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.
Thanks,
Tom

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.

Hi,
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.
Cheers,
Viv

If we use: select * from ..... , normally, it will return an ordered result ( may be order by ID ), but how can we make an random order select statement. It mean every time we run the query, the result will be different from the other ?

Hi,
I need to select few items from sql database.I know for ORDER BY, but I need those items to be mixed in random order every time when they are returned from database. Those are the same items every time, just randomly mixed.
Can i do it with SQL, or I have to find another way (e.g. to mix them after sql returns them)?

Hello Everyone,
I am using sql server 2000 to create a test database. I have two tables, a table for questions and one for answers. I want to create random orders for the test questions and answers. I tried to use the rand function but that doesn’t seem to work, because when I order by the random number, the questions are still in the primary key order. My primary key is 'questioned'. Can someone help me out on how to randomly order my questions and ansers?
Select questionID ,Rand(Questionid)from tblTestQuestions
order by rand(questionID)
Thanks

Dear All,
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?
Thanks.
Regards,
Swarna.

I have a problem with an Order By sort on a SubmissionDate column in my SQLSERVER DB.
I am inputing a timestamp in this format into the column above: 1/18/2005 11:03:19 AM
Problem is, once I sort this column in DESC order to return the results to a datalist dates with a time like this:
1/18/2005 1:03:19 AM
get placed out of place (lower on the return in DESC/higher on the return in ASC). I am assuming this is happening because it reads 1 as coming before 11 instead of after like it is with time. If this was in 24 hour format this wouldn't be a problem I guess because 1PM would be 13, so that is after 11.
Anyone know what I can do to get this sorted correctly?

Hi, I've created a website usiing asp.net and all the data are stored in sql front. All the item are sorted in ascending order except one record. The correct order should be MP61, MP100, MP200, but this record is retrieved as MP100, MP200, MP61. If the coding is wrong, all the order displayed is not in ascending order. We have hundreds of items, but why it happens to this particular record? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a situation where I need to sort the output of a cursor. But since the sort criteria are rather complex, I am NOT able to use the Order By clause directly with the cursor definition statement.
Hence, I need to have a solution where I will use a dummy (calculated) field within the CURSOR and I want the output of this cursor sorted by the dummy field that I calculated within the cursor itself.
Please let me know the different possibilities in this scenario.
Thank you in advance

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'm importing comma-delimited text files into a SQL table. The data imports in a seemingly random order. One time I import and the lines appear one way and the next time I import they import another way.
Is there a way to force the text files to import in the same order the data is found in the file?

Hi Guys,
Does anyone knows what is the evaluation order for expressions attached to "Value" property and "BackgroundColor" property for a field.
My problem is if a field is being changed in its value property to a particular value, will this changed value be recognised immediately by the Backgroundcolor property during its rule evaluation, it does not seem to be the case.

I have a have a relatively simple SSAS cube that I'm trying to display in a matrix but the order of the data is not correct. The rows of the matrix are a time hierarchy and the query designer produces the correct MDX and when I run the MDX in the data tab, the order is correct. However in the report preview tab, the order is incorrect. Specifically, the time hierarchy looks like this Year-Month-FullDate. The report is ordering the Months like this 1,10,11,12,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. I ran the MDX query in Sql Studio and the order is correct, and I used Excel to consume the same cube and it produces the correct order.
The report is somehow treating the Month like character data instead of numeric, how do I fix this?

Hi,
We got a problem.
supposing we have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE a (
aId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
aName string2 NOT NULL
)
go
ALTER TABLE a ADD
CONSTRAINT PK_a PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (aId)
go
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
...
... (20 times)
select top 5 * from a order by aName
Result is:
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde
select top 10 * from a order by aName
Result is:
11Bank of abcde
10Bank of abcde
9Bank of abcde
8Bank of abcde
7Bank of abcde
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde
According to this result, user see the first 5 records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in page 1, but when he tries to view page 2, he still see the records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. This is not correct for users. :eek:
Of course we can add order by aid also, but there are tons of sqls like this, we can't update our application in one shot.
So I ask for your advice here, is there any settings can tell the db use default sort order when the order by column value are the same? Or is there any other solution to resolve this problem in one shot?

Hi
I have a query that is exhibiting a strange behaviour on different databases.
I've got something like this ...
select a.col, ...
from tab1 as a inner join ...
union
select a.col, ...
from tab1 as a inner join ...
order by col
I know how to fix the problem, I make the last line read "order by a.col" ... that is understood.
However, on some databases I get an error and on others I don't. All databases are on the same server instance which is sql server 2005 developer (developer version isn't relevant as it happens on customer machines too).
I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas why it is 'random'. It's as though the statement is being compiled differently on different databases ... what is influencing that ?
I'm fishing for a way to create a workaround, so if anyone has any ideas it might push me down the road of understanding why.
The real code is way too big to include here and it's not really relevant.
As a clue to what I'm looking for, if I copy the database to another database using SSIS, the resultant database doesn't cause the error despite being logically the same.
Presumably it is some physical or security difference that is causing the error to occur.
Thanks if you have any ideas,
Richard.
