How to sort data in a row?

  • Hi all..

    I want to compare the values of 10 fields in a dataset and display only the major 5 FIELDS (Not top 5 in a column) in a pie chart.

    In chart options i tries the single slice/collected pie option. But dont want to group based on a treshold value. Just want to sort the fields based on value and display the top N slices.

    Any suggestions???

  • It doesn't really sound like a normalized table design...

    Therefore, you might need to use some T-SQL code to UNPIVOT the data, sort it and PIVOT or CrossTab it back in the order you need.

    If you need some help how o do it, please post table DDL, sample data and expected result set as described in the first link referenced in my signature.

  • Hi Lutz..

    Thanks for the response..

  • Hi LutZ

    Thanks for the response.

    I had created the table manually in access. I have jus ported the replica of the access table in SQL server.

    The table looks something like this.

    Area Date Plant Loss1 Loss2 Loss3 Loss4 Loss5 ....

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Area1 2/7/2010 ARPL1 20 10 15 8 5

    Area2 3/7/2010 ARPL2 30 0 20 0 0

    Area3 4/7/2010 ARPL3 0 0 10 0 0

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    50 10 45 8 5

    I have thousands of records like this.

    I need to sumup the losses say TLoss1....TLoss5 and then sort them in descending order and display the major 3 or 4 (in this case) in a Pie chart. (just the major 4 losses). (see in attachment)

    The date range and the required area & plant are ontained from the user as input to the Pie chart.

  • Please re-read my previous post and provide data (including expected result) in a ready to use format.

  • I have a table somewhat like the one you're describing. I haven't ever done what you were looking for but I guess this is how I would do it with my table. Mabye you can take the below as a template and use your table info. Basically the query uses 3 temp tables along whe way to normalize your data, rank it and then de-normalize back the form your needing. Then sum the results and order it. Hope this helps.

    WITH NORMAL AS

  • Thanks for the efforts..

    I have fixed it up by using unpivot.. Thanks lutz for the spark.
