I have a report which uses a dataset returned from a stored procedure. There are two key columns: Name and Value
I am using this dataset for two tablixes. The first is just a straightforward tablix displaying the data.
The second groups the data based on a Name column. I need to order this data based on the Sum of Value column
However I get the following error:
[rsAggregateInDataRowSortExpression] A
sort expression for the tablix
'table1' includes an aggregate
function. Aggregate functions cannot
be used in data row sort expressions.
Is there another way I can show the data grouped by name and still order it by Sum(Value)?
Instead of sorting on the tablix you need to sort against the row group. Remove the sort on the tablix and then go to the row group properties and put the same sort expression under the sorting section there, this should then work.
OK, I just had to add an extra column for the the Sum value to my query and then use that. Not ideal, but it works

I have a workbook where I have displayed a table where the user can view the top 3 IDs based on a column they can select from a dropdown (Measure A, Measure B, ... , Measure H):
Now, instead of this, I want to add a separate column called Sorting Criterion to the table that would store the column names with which the respective rows of the table was sorted. So, the expected output is something like this:
How do I do this? I'm open to using Tableau Prep Builder, if needed, for intermediate steps that may be too convoluted for Tableau Desktop.
Create a calculated field that just contains the Sort By parameter. Add this calculated field to your view.
I have a column that returns me tasks to find out how many there are I do a CountDistinct (id_tarefa). I need to sort the table by this larger field for the lower value of count (), but the SSRS does not accept sorting by field that has aggregate function.
It is possible to do this sort?
Yes it's possible - but you cannot sort the table by using an aggregate function.
The trick is to sort on the Group and not the table. Row Group -> Group Properties then the Sorting tab.
I have a matrix that has a group filtered at the matrix level. I can't filter the SQL because it is very large and is used all over my report.
I need to be able to specify the columns to display after the filter is applied.
The end filter would look something like this
if ColumnA[value] IN Test1,Test2,Test3 OR ColumnB[name]
As you can see I want a value string filter and make sure ColumnB get displayed at all times.
Or being able to specify the columns to show in the matrix would work also.
You can filter at the dataset level: see here for more detail.
To filter a tablix, go into Tablix Properties and open up the Filters tab. You can write a Boolean expression (must evaluate to TRUE for the record to come into the Tablix) to do the filtering there.
I ended up using a tablix and creating columns for each column I wanted to display and rows for each row item. I then used a Count(IIF()) statement to match the specific item I needed to calculate for that cell. I wanted to use the matrix so it would not be so long winded but in the end I got the job done. I have since used this method on many occasions.
I have this table:
When executed, it looks like:
This table is sorted by alphabetical order. I would like to sort it by the column named "No Vencido", which is generated in runtime combining 2 dimensions of a cube (one dimension is called "Class 1", the other dimension is called "value".
How can i sort a table by an autogenerated field?
Thanks
You can sort by any sort of expression - SSRS will quite happily sort something like two fields concatenated together:
=Fields!Class1.Value & Fields!value.Value
Just be careful to make sure the sorting is applied at the appropriate level to avoid unexpected, i.e. make sure you don't have different sorting expressions in any row group or detail group if not required.
If No Vencido is the grouping expression, apply the sorting at the group level.
If you don't want to sort on an expression, you can create a calculated field for each row in the dataset with the expression =Fields!Class1.Value & Fields!value.Value and group/sort on that calculated field as required.
Edit after comment
OK, I think you need to apply a sort expression like this to the groups that apply to the Top and Otros rows:
=Sum(IIf(Fields!Clase_1.Value = "No Vencido", Fields!Monto.Value, Nothing))
This is still sorting by the total Monto for each row group, but only considering the rows where Clase_1 is No Vencido.
Once this is set up sort by A-Z or Z-A as required.
I want to sort an rdlc report by two or more columns.
This could happen if I have two names that are the same so then it should next be sorted by ID column.
When I navigate to textbox properties and click the interactive sort tab I can only select one column to sort by.
How to add more than one column?
EDIT: I just realised you can edit the matrix of the entire table to add multiple sort fields. I'm guessing you can also create a group and attach that to the column if needed.
I also did not find multiple columns fields for interactive sorting.
You can workaround this by specifying an expression where you concatenate columns values. Note that date field you have to format in a sort friendly way.
=Fields!MyString.Value & CDate(Fields!MyDate.Value).ToString("yyyyMMdd")
yes, you can add multiple sort fields in the tablix properties.
Aside from that, if you click on a row textbox, you can see the Interactive Sorting tab, where you can group and sort field values.
Hope this helps!
