Categorization of Parameters!

Fri, 11 Oct 2013 20:57:00 GMT

Hi All,

I have a table like this.

Category	Number	% Change
1	2000	2
1.101	1000	3
1.102	1000	4
1.2	2000	5
1.201	1000	6
1.202	500	7
1.203	500	8
1.3	3000	2
1.301	1000	3
1.302	1000	4
1.303	1000	5
2	4000	6
2.201	1500	7
2.202	1500	8
2.203	1000	2
3	5000	3
3.301	1500	4
3.302	1500	5
3.303	2000	6

I want to create an application where in list box Only Parent category will be shown like1,2,3. Now if i select 1, subcategories(1.1,1.2,1.3) will be shown in corresponding charts.Like wise we can drill down to other categories.

Is there any way of doing this? I dont want to show data in a single pivot table. I want o create charts.

Thanks.

Create another field into your script using

subfield(Category,'.',1) as ParentCategory

Or, as a variation to the above, create this other field in your script using

floor(Category) as ParentCategory

to get the integer part as main category.

The advantage of using floor() is that you can also create intermediate categories,. For example

floor(Category, 0.1) as IntermediateCategory

will turn 1.203 into 1.2, 2.109 into 2.1 etc.
