I have a report with two columns a,b and two filters c-checkbox, d-list.

I have to include c and d as hidden columns in my report to filter by them using the checkbox and list.

The problem is that when I include c and d in the report, the aggregation (by) is impacted as the report is now aggregating by a,b,c,d. I only want to aggregate by a,b and ingnore c,d.

How do I do that?

Amisol,

You do not have to add hidden columns in your report to filter them...

TABLE FILE CAR
   SUM SALES
   BY CAR
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY'
END


Works fine...

COUNTRY is not in the report, but a filter is active...

...unless you mean something completely different with 'filter'.

Greets,
Dave

Dave - I'm referring to the ability to filter a grid in a dashboard using either list/checkbox/dropdown...

From what I understand, the columns I want to filter by has to exist in the grid.

Example:

-*Do not delete or modify the comments above
ENGINE INT CACHE SET ON
SET PAGE-NUM=NOLEAD
SET EMPTYREPORT=ON


COMPOUND LAYOUT PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
SECTION=Section_1, LAYOUT=ON, PAGESIZE=E, ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT, SHOW_GLOBALFILTER=OFF, ACTIVE_UNITS=PTS, PAGECOLOR=RGB(255 255 255), $
PAGELAYOUT=1, NAME='Page 1', TEXT='Page 1', LEFTMARGIN=0.25, RIGHTMARGIN=0.25, TOPMARGIN=0.25, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.25, $
COMPONENT=Table_1, COMPONENT-TYPE=REPORT, POSITION=(0.760416 2.177083), DIMENSION=(* *), ARREPORTSIZE=DIMENSION, METADATA='VERSION:1.0;WIDTH:4.0;HEIGHT:3.0;LEFT:0.760416;TOP:2.177083', $
OBJECT=list, NAME=List_1, ARDATA_REPORT=Table_1, ARDATA_COLUMN=BODYTYPE, ARFILTER_TARGET='Table_1,', ARFILTER_CONDITION=EQ, ARFILTER_MULTIPLE=ON, ARFILTER_SHOWALL=ON, POSITION=(0.802083 0.677083), DIMENSION=(1.041666 1.041666), FONT=Trebuchet MS, SIZE=9, COLOR=RGB(66 70 73), $
END

SET COMPONENT=Table_1
-*component_type report
-DEFAULTH &WF_SUMMARY='Summary';
-DEFAULTH &WF_TITLE='WebFOCUS Report';
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CAR.BODY.SALES
BY CAR.COMP.CAR
BY CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
BY CAR.BODY.BODYTYPE NOPRINT
ACROSS CAR.CARREC.MODEL

ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET SQUEEZE ON
ON TABLE SET EMPTYREPORT ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLENCODE ON
ON TABLE SET CACHELINES 100
ON TABLE SET BYDISPLAY ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE=IBFS:/FILE/IBI_HTML_DIR/javaassist/intl/EN/ENIADefault_combine.sty,$
TYPE=REPORT, TITLETEXT='Report1', SUMMARY=&WF_SUMMARY.QUOTEDSTRING, PAGESIZE=E, ARGRAPHENGINE=JSCHART, $
ENDSTYLE
END

COMPOUND END


Results:
Car Country Sales....
Alfa Romeo Italy ...
Alfa Romeo Italy ...
Alfa Romeo Italy ...

I want to see Alfa Romeo once.

Amisol,

that's a different kind of filter then I had in mind.

But since it's an AHTML I guess the filtering is done at the client. The fields you want to filter have to be available in the dataset at the client.

I've tried sorting groups, but doesn't seem to work with ahtml...

Sorry, can't help you here :-(

Can you write to a hold file prior to running the report?

remove the following line:
 ON TABLE SET BYDISPLAY ON 

this will give you:
 
Alfa romeo Italy...
           Italy...
           Italy...
 

If that isn't what you want, please be more clear.
