Crystal: Sort by multiple groups - sorting

Good afternoon all;
Currently I have a crystal report that displays as such;
{ReceivingHospital}
{CallTtype} {Date} {SendingHospital} {Time1} {Time2}
I would like it to break down by receiving hospital then beneath that show all "Major" call types and sum them. Then Beneath that all "Moderate" call types with a sum, and then all "Minor" call types beneath that with a sum also. And, I want to keep all the associated details listed in that same order. I was thinking I could add multiple group headers and place the call type in that, but that does not seem to be working.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

first, you need to create a group for {ReceivingHospital} and then a second group for {CallType}. You can then create a group sum based on {CallType}. If it still does not work and you are working with multiple tables you should check whether you have joined your tables correctly.

Is there a way to hide the total sum from a single column in a data table on Kibana?

I created a data table containing several columns: most of them must show the total of their respective values. I’m just wondering if there’s a way to selectively hide this sum, since the latest column includes an average of ratings and it doesn’t make sense to have a sum of them.
Below, an example of what I’d like to achieve if it’s possibile:
Basically, I need to hide the number deleted in red. I know that there could be plugins to do so, but I don’t know if I can ask to install one or more.
Thanks in advance.

Power BI. Sort a column with repeated values based on another column

For my requirement, I've got a specific layout for a report. To simplify, the series of Categories should present the Areas in a particular order (financial information).
Every Category will be present on a different Page on Power BI. However, as you can see, some areas belong to multiple Categories. Because of this, I'm getting an error message if I try to order this column by an index, and I can't modify the name of the area.
Is it possible to specify on a cross table that I do not need it to perform any alphabetic order?
I've looked for a possible answer, but so far I have not found any solution to this.

Can't seem to get runningvalues to work in VS2013 Report Designer

I have a margins report that I've created that groups by Month, Customer, Sales Type then displays the sales details. I have that basic report working well. The SALTYPE group has four options from the stored procedure that pulls the data, they are A, B, C, D. I've been asked to add grand totals at the bottom of the report for each sales type.
From my research it appears I need to use RunningValues in an expression to generate these totals but I've been unable to find any useful examples. I've tested for the Tot. Sales column using the expression =RunningValue(Fields!TOTSALES.value, sum, "SALTYPE") but it throws an error I'm not sure I'm interpreting correctly, "The Value expression for the text box 'Textbox168' has a scope parameter that is not valid for the aggregate function. The scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either the name of a containing group, the name of a containing data region, or the name of a dataset". If I understand correctly it's referring to "Tablix1_SALTYPEGroup" but I'm unclear what that should be or if I'm completely off base.
Can anyone provide an example to get those grand totals or point out the flaw in my expression? I've been all through MSDN but primarily been referencing this blog.
So I may be incorrect but it appears they way I had my groups structured and the details sorted it wasn't possible to generate the totals I needed. I resolved this by simply adding a summary Tablix below my first one, using the same data but structured and sorted in a way to easily generate my totals. By sorting the details on the SALTYPE I could then just add a total and hide the details. The result is exactly what I was looking for.

SSRS sort not working

On a number of reports I have noticed that setting sort options through the tablix properties does not work. I choose the data I'd like to sort by (date) and set the option (Z to A), but the report still shows unsorted. Has anyone else seen this issue? I have read that updating the report xml to include the sort may be what needs to be done because the report builder does not preserve the changes made. Haven't gone down that road yet as I'm looking to see if there's a fix already identified.

Those are the columns from the export with data filling each column. Can't give too much info because it shows phone numbers and addresses.
One option is to sort the data in your dataset. Then you can leave it and SSRS will honor that.
As the others mentioned, make sure you check the datatype so it's not trying to sort the dates as a string.
Set the sort priorities at the group level, not on the table or dataset properties.
You should never have to edit the XML to get this to work. This is a basic built-in feature that most reports use.
Do you have groups on your tablix? if yes, did you try sorting it with the Row Groups or Column Groups at bottom instead of the sorting properties of the tablix?

Not getting the correct totals using Cognos Report Studio. Need to get totals that show up in column

newparts_calc
if (([MonthToDateQuery].[G/L Account] = 4200 and [Query1].[G_L_Group] = 'NEW')) THEN ([Credit Amount]-[Debit Amount]) ELSE (0)
Data Item1
total([newparts_calc])
I need Data Item1 to return newparts_calc values only.
So for example in 1st row Data Item1 should be 8,540.8, but is 34,163.2
Whats wrong? how do i fix?
REVISED QUESTION
I apologize for not making sense on the original question.
I have many of the calc's that im trying to gather and put on a crosstab. I want to see sales by month (row) and part category (column)
[Query2] is the one shown in picture above.
It joins [MonthToDateQuery] AND [Query1]
The join is on 'Invoice' and carnality is 1..1 = 1..1
[MonthToDateQuery] is based on the package im working in. General ledger. It supplies the g/l entries for each sales g/l account
[Query1] is a SQL query i brought in to be able to break out categories even further from g/l group.
For example g/l account 4300 is rebuilt. However i needed to break out even further to see Rebuilt-Production and Rebuilt-New. I can do that with the g/l group.
I saw in my g/l account ledger entries that it referenced the invoice number. So thats how i tied in my SQL.
So as you can see from the table below (which is the view tabular data from query) i need a total. I have tried plugging newparts_calc into my crosstab and setting aggregation to total but the numbers still dont seem right. I dont think i have something set as it should be.
All the calc's im doing are based on single or multiple G/L Accounts and single or multiple G/L Groups.
Any Advice?
As you can see the problem seems to be duplicate invoice numbers.
How can i fix?
Couple things come to mind:
-Set the processing order to 2
-Since your calc is always a multiple and you are joining two queries, you may need to check your cardinality. Sometimes it helps to add derived queries to ensure you are working with the correct grain.
I'm obviously missing something, but if you want
I need Data Item1 to return newparts_calc values only.
just use newparts_calc, without total? That would give you proper value for row 1 -)
If you need a running-total for days (sum of values for previous days) — you should use a running_total function.
At a guess, one of your two queries is returning multiple rows for each invoice, which will cause this double counting. Look at the output of the two queries and see if that's happening. If so, then you just need to work out how to collapse that down to one row per invoice.
Per your new question - The underlying data has got to be causing the issue. Its clearly not 1:1 (note that even though this is what your stated cardinality is, Cognos does not enforce 1:1). Invoice number is not unique, GL Group is at a lower level.
