Quarter sorting and filter

amruta_j — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 21:12:28 GMT

Hi All,

PFA the screenshot.

1. I need to order the quarter like Q1-2019, Q1-2018,Q2-2018,Q2-2017,Q3-2018,Q3-2017,Q4-2018,Q4-2017. Please help me to sort Quarter field like mentioned.

2. Now Only Q1 is available for 2019, so I need to show Q1 comparison for 2019 vs 2018, but for other quarters I need to show comparison between 2018 vs 2017 quarters.

Thank You!

You can do it via Expression in Sort Tab

Expression =Match(Quarter_Field_Name, 'Q1-2019',' Q1-2018','Q2-2018','Q2-2017','Q3-2018','Q3-2017','Q4-2018','Q4-2017')

if Not you can also create an Inline Table with 2 columns Quarter_Field_Name and Sortweight and sort based on Sortweight Field by passing the same as expression in the Sort Tab

Hi,

For your first issue you can calculate another field, at the same time that you calculate the field Quarter-Year, with this logic: 20191, 20184, 20183.... and then you can short by this field.

For your second issue, Can you share the expresion that you use?

For first point, I'm calculating Quarter Year in model like

'Q' & ceil(month / 3)&'-'&year AS Quarter, Not sure how to sort it without hardcoding the year.

For second point, my expression is just sum(Total_Leads), but I'm creating cyclic expression for QuarterYear and MonthYear like below:

QuarterYear (sorted State and Text)

MonthYear (sorted with Expression

wildmatch(MonthYear,'Jan*','Feb*','Mar*','Apr*','May*','Jun*','Jul*','Aug*','Sep*','Oct*','Nov*','Dec*') )

So I'm guessing I need to use set expression for 2nd point, but not sure how.

For the first point , add the folow field,
year & ceil(month / 3) AS QuarterShort.

For your second issue, test to use :
1. Create new field ---> ceil(month / 3) AS QuarterTotal
2. Create a new variable: vMaxQuarter --> max(QuarterTotal)
3. Use this expresion ---> Sum({<QuarterShort = {$(=$(vMaxYear) & $(vMAxQuarter))}>}Total_Leads) / Sum({<QuarterShort = {$(vMaxPreviousYear) & $(vMAxQuarter)}>}Total_Leads)

I hope it's work.
