I am writing a query function that I would like sorted. I have this figured out. What I cannot solve is attempting to insert 2 blank rows between the sorted results. Is this at all possible? Here is my query as it currently stands. Works perfectly as written. Just would like to have a 2 row gap between results.
Thank you.
=query('Form Responses 1'!A:CM,"Select B,C,D,I,L,AU,AX Where K = '"&Titles!B2&"' OR AW = '"&Titles!B2&"'Order by K,AW",0)
enter image description here
Since you've clarified your question to say that you want two blank rows, only to be added at a specific point in your query results, I've created another answer. But you haven't answered my question about what criteria you have for deciding where to insert these two lines, so I've made an assumption based on your data. This formula should be easily adapted if you have some other criteria for where to insert the blank lines. See my added tab HelpGK in yur sample sheet.
Try this formula, where you have your query:
={query('Data Sheet'!A:J,"Select B,C,D,E,F,H,I Where E='' and (G = 'ABC' OR J = 'ABC') Order by J,G",0);
{"","","","","","",""};
{"","","","","","",""};
query('Data Sheet'!A:J,"Select B,C,D,E,F,H,I Where E<>'' and (G = 'ABC' OR J = 'ABC') Order by J,G",0)}
Note that I don't believe your exact Desired Result can be obtained from your Data sheet. You are missing data rows. But this formula produces the result in the screenshot you provided.
EDIT:
Just realised that I created an answer for a single column of data.
Please share a sample sheet since this is not your case.
You can try this formula, but you'll need to replace this text "A4:A8" with your exact query:
=ArrayFormula(flatten(split(A4:A8 & "♥ ♥ ","♥",0,0)))
Note that the column with the "~" values in the blank cells is just to demonstrate what is happening.
If you had provided a sample sheet, with sample data, it would have been easier.
Let me know if this works for you. If not, please provide a sample sheet, with sample data, and let us know what else you need.
Be aware that the you can't put any values into the two inserted rows of blank cells, or the arrayformula will fail. But if you are planning to save the results of this as values, then pasted into place, then you could overwrite the blank cells, if desired.
Also be aware that FLATTEN is an undocumented function, and may possibly be removed from Sheets. If this is for a critical application, and alternative formula can be provided. Let us know if that is a concern.
I will delete my earlier answer, which mistakenly focused on a one column result.
This messy formula seems to handle multiple columns. If it works for you, I'll see if I can simplify it or clean it up. I can also provide details of the steps it is doing, if necessary. Replace the text "A4:C8" in this formula with the range where your query result currently exists. Once you've tested that, you can replace the text "A4:C8" with your actual query statement, to have everything done in one formula, if you want.
=ARRAYFORMULA(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SPLIT(FLATTEN(ARRAYFORMULA(SPLIT(TRANSPOSE(ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(ARRAYFORMULA(SUBSTITUTE(A4:C8," ","♥"))),,99^99)&"♦~♦~")),"♦",1,0)))," ",1,0),"~",""),"♥"," "))
Please let me know if this works for you. If you have any issues, please share a sample sheet, with only sample data, and clarify what isn't working as you expect.
I'm attempting to filter one column from another and the formula worked at first. Then I cleared the data and tried to reselect and now it doesn't work. What's the problem?
=FILTER(A2:A100,A2:A100=C2:C100)
you kinda need this:
=FILTER(A2:A, NOT(COUNTIF(E2:E, A2:A)))
How do I get the search/filter to work per column?
I am making small steps in building, and constantly adding to my data table, which is pretty dynamic at this stage. It basically builds a datatable based on the dat that is fed into it. I have now added the footer to act as a search/filter, but unfortunately this is where I have become stuck. I cannot get the filer part to work. Advice greatly appreciated.
here is my sample data tables that I am working on http://live.datatables.net/qociwesi/2/edit
It basically has dTableControl object that builds by table.
To build my table I need to call loadDataFromSocket which does the following:
//then I have this function for loading my data and creating my tables
//file is an array of objects
//formatFunc is a function that formats the data in the data table, and is stored in options for passing to the dTableControl for formatting the datatable - not using this in this example
//ch gets the keys from file[0] which will be the channel headers
//then I add the headers
//then I add the footers
//then I create the table
//then i build the rows using the correct values from file
//then I draw and this then draws all the row that were built
//now the tricky part of applying the search to each columns
So i have got this far but the search per column is not working. How do I get the search/filter to wrok per column?
Note this is a very basic working example that I have been working off: http://jsfiddle.net/HattrickNZ/t12w3a65/
You should use t1.oTable to access DataTables API, see updated example for demonstration.
Please compare your code with jsFiddle in your question, notice its simplicity and consider rewriting your code.
Hi
When i try to use JQGrid and load values from server (JSON load) , everything seems to work fine except that any row i click ,only the first rwo is selected. Any pointers as to where i could be going wrong?
Thanks
Sunil
Typically the problem exist if the JSON data has duplicate in the ids. For example if you place the same id in every row posted from the server you will have exactly the same behavior which you describe.
Anyone ever see how fogbugz sorts their tables? When you click to sort the column, they actually break the table up into many small tables that have each category of info.
Wondering if anyone knows how they do this?
Looking to implement this feature.
If you take a look through the cases page, and sort you can see what I mean.
Any help would be AWESOME!
Still Haven't figured this one out.
EDIT: #Peter, I don't want to postback and recreate a table every time the header title is clicked for a sort. I also want to know if their is a generic solution for this. If I click on the header to sort, by the way of javascript, it seperates the "one" table into many and I want to know if their is any generic solution for this because its just a MUCH better way of viewing a sorted Table.
EDIT: I do need a javascript sorter, but if you look right down at the implementation of fogbugz, it produces a different result...
Yup, Rich got it (I coded this feature into FogBugz a long while back).
If you have to do this on the client you have no choice but to sort the data, iterate through it generating table row after table row, and every time you hit a new sort value you create a new thead w/ the appropriate information.
To be honest it would be a pretty cool modification to this jQuery plugin: http://tablesorter.com/docs/ and you'd be able to leverage a lot of their work. If you're going to put in the time and create a general solution, might as well make it accessible to the community.
Without knowing specifically how Fog Creek accomplishes this, the way that I would do it is to output a table header, then iterate through the list, outputting a footer and a new header each time the group value changed.
Not sure what answer do you expect. SQL query for this would simply use ordering on selected column, and UI would start new table each time this value changes.
Here is screenshot of FogBugz with this sorting, after clicking on Priority column.

Of course, starting new table doesn't make sense for every column (title, case #).
Edit: If I understand correctly, you're looking for a way how to do this in a browser without loading new page. If this is the case, I would suggest at least some server-side support, which would return your data in correct order, and properly structured for subtables (in xml/json/whatever you use). Your javascript will use this data to recreate tables. I am sure others with more web-ui experience will provide you with better answers.
I've used the Sortable Tables script from Kryogenix with some good results.
I don't know if it is relevant, but we store the results of a query in a temporary table in SQL, and then reference current-row-less-one to see if a Category has changed, and indicate this in the resulset.
In some instances we "indicate" this with a column containing
<tr><td colspan=999>Category Heading</td></tr>
so that the web page can just "inject" that into the table it is building.
SELECT Col1, Col2, ...,
[CATEGORY] = CASE WHEN T1.CategoryCol <> COALESCE(T2.CategoryCol, '')
THEN '<tr><td colspan=999>' + T1.CategoryCol + '</td></tr>'
ELSE ''
END
FROM #MyTempTable AS T1
LEFT OUTER JOIN #MyTempTable AS T2
ON T2.ID = T1.ID - 1
