NPrinting sort/filter Levels in PixelPerfect Reports

Hallo,

is it possible to sort and filter the values from a field if it's uses as level.

My table looks like this:

NameSortDisplay
A_Name21
B_Name10
C_Name41
D_Name31

Now I need to create a report with 'Name' as level. This works so far, but I need to sort the names by the field 'Sort' (currently are sorted alphabetically) and filter out the names where Display is 0. So is there a way to change the sort order/method and use a filter?

Thanks for your help.

1) Sort order is based on the QlikView sort order for the dimension

2) You could do this by using a chart in rather than a dimension in the level and applying set analysis to block filtering. I think that would work.

If the answer isn't clear, reply and I'll explain in more detail

Of course this is possible.

1) Build the report with the level(s)

2) Build a filter using the same dimension(s)

3) Apply the filter to a report, recipient or task

4) Put the report into the task

5) Schedule the task by adding it to a job which is in a schedule or alternately, run the task manually.

Hallo,

thank you for the fast answer, but think this will not work because I need the same dimension (Name) as level a second time, but without the filter, in the same report.

The next porblem is the sort order. I don't think a filter affects the sort order.
