Sort values in a chart legend

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:10:24 GMT

Hello togehter,

i created a dimension with

IF(A >=1 and A<1.25,'iinteresting',

if(A>=1.25 and A<2.25,'empty',

if(A>=2.25 and A<3.25,'grandfather',

if(A>=3.25 and A<=4,'nearly'))))

My legend at the bar-chart shows the values at following order:

* nearly

* grandfather

* interesting

* empty

But i want that the legend shows the values like my formula. So i write the formula in the formula field at the sort register. but this doesn't work.Can anyone help me please? Thanks!

Hi,

You try using the dual function to sort you values.

IF(A >=1 and A<1.25,Dual('iinteresting',1),

if(A>=1.25 and A<2.25,Dual('empty',2),

if(A>=2.25 and A<3.25,Dual('grandfather',3),

if(A>=3.25 and A<=4,Dual('nearly',4)))))

Sort this dimension by numeric. Best way to do this is, create this as a column in back script and use the field in front end as show in this attached post.

Hope this helps you.

Hi,

Have you considered using Dual() function? Something like this...

IF(A >=1 and A<1.25, Dual('iinteresting', 1),

if(A>=1.25 and A<2.25, Dual('empty', 2),

if(A>=2.25 and A<3.25, Dual('grandfather', 3),

if(A>=3.25 and A<=4,Dual('nearly', 4)))))

But what if the legend doesn't represent each separate member in a dimension;

But a separate expression; i.e. sum of income, sum of bonus ;

What determines the order then?
