Hello.
I have a sorting assignment. Now, I don't really know how the data provided looks like as it is taken from somewhere within a cloud, but I need to sort it by some criteria. I'll make up a toy assignment which mimics my assignment :
Assume I have the following data
Category name Letters
We A
You C
They A-D
The letters correspond to properties of certain numerical values and the categories should sum up those numerical values if they satisfy the conditions on the letter, that is
We = Number of A
You = Number of C
They = Number of A + Number of C
However, if I write the code in the following way
if([Letter]=A, 'We',
if([Letter]=C,'You',
if([Letter]=A or [Letter]=B or [Letter]=C or [Letter]=D,'We','not assigned')))
once it sorts the value of A into category We, it will not consider it any longer, resulting in the value of category They to be zero, that is, it won't show, as the value of C was also sorted before hand and will not be considered any longer.
How can this problem be solved? I thought about implementing a list, but could not find how to do this with this kind of data. Another way I thought about was to just sum the values of We and You to get They, but also could not find how this can be done. Every help is welcome and needed.
Thanks a ton!
Hello,
you have table above in your data? If yes, is they specified exactly like you show (A-D) or is it more like {They,A;They,B;They,C;They,D}?
If not than, where does matching letters to category come from?
