Hi,
I am new to WebFocus App Studio and had the below question:
I am trying to calculate counts of shipment_id based on courier service names. Below is the code and output:

TABLE FILE WF_RETAIL
SUM
CNT.DST.WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_SHIPMENTS.ID_SHIPFACT AS 'SHIPMENT_COUNT'
BY WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_SHIPPING_OPTIONS.COURIER
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLEMBEDIMG ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = endeflt,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

Shipping Company SHIPMENT_COUNT
DL Express 112
Express Star 3446
Logistics Star 467
Parcel Service United 4522
Postal Service 1453

However, in my final output I want to display only the top three rows with the highest numbers of shipments. How do I sort the SHIPMENT_COUNT field in descending order and limit it to three rows only?
(I want my final output to look like this:
Parcel Service United 4522
Express Star 3446
Postal Service 1453)

Thanks,
SSurana

Could be one way

TABLE FILE CAR
RANKED BY HIGHEST RETAIL_COST
BY MODEL
ON TABLE HOLD AS TMP FORMAT FOCUS
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE TMP
PRINT RETAIL_COST
BY HIGHEST RETAIL_COST NOPRINT
BY MODEL
WHERE RANK LE 3;
END
-RUN

Thank you for such prompt responses, Martin & Dan.

Dan, I tried what you suggested and it does sort the shipments in descending order and limits it to three rows. However, it also add two more columns(RANK and SHIPMENT_COUNT - as the first and second columns) to the report output:

RANK SHIPMENT_COUNT Shipping Company SHIPMENT_COUNT
1 4522 Parcel Service United 4522
2 3446 Express Star 3446
3 1453 Postal Service 1453

I could get one of the SHIPMENT_COUNT fields to not print by adding a 'NOPRINT'(as shown below) but could not do so for the 'RANK' column? Is there any way that I can set it to invisible as well?

RANKED BY TOTAL HIGHEST 3 CNT.DST.WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_SHIPMENTS.ID_SHIPFACT NOPRINT AS 'SHIPMENT_COUNT'

Thanks,
Shweta

Does this work for you?

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CNT.DST.MODEL AS '# Models'
BY HIGHEST 3 TOTAL CNT.DST.MODEL NOPRINT
BY CAR AS 'Car'
END


---------------------------------------
If you start with this:
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CNT.DST.MODEL
BY CAR
END

Result is:

CAR #Models
ALFA ROMEO 3
AUDI 1
BMW 6
DATSUN 1
JAGUAR 2
JENSEN 1
MASERATI 1
PEUGEOT 1
TOYOTA 1
TRIUMPH 1


Then with the code above...


Result is:
Car # Models
BMW 6
ALFA ROMEO 3
JAGUAR 2

Hi krhapner,
Thank you for your response. I took your suggestion and it works, without adding a rank field. However, in my specific code, it sorts the data in ascending order and I don't understand why!
Earlier, I had posted the sample code (on which the sort works fine),but below is my actual code, the results of which gets sorted in ascending order. Any idea why it's happening?

I am really not sure

The one thing I thought of would be to change your

quote:

BY TOTAL HIGHEST 15

to

quote:

BY HIGHEST 15 TOTAL

Another idea would be to change HIGHEST to TOP.

No idea if that will work or not. Sorry!

I tried doing that as well, but it did not work. Thanks for replying though.
The only difference between this code and the sample code (using shipments) which I had posted earlier, is that I included few more fields which are set to 'noprint' and are used as parameters to be passed to another drill-down report. However, I am not sure how any why that would mess up the sorting order.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Thanks,
Shweta

Hmm.. that is strange. It shouldn't make a difference. Could you try running this piece by piece? What I mean is, could you see if you can get the correct results without the extra by statements?

quote:

TABLE FILE DQ_DATA_MODEL
SUM
CNT.DST.DQ_DATA_MODEL.FACT_CLAIM_DATA_QUALITY_DETAIL.CLM_NO AS 'TOTAL_FAILED_CLAIMS'
BY TOTAL HIGHEST 15 CNT.DST.DQ_DATA_MODEL.FACT_CLAIM_DATA_QUALITY_DETAIL.CLM_NO NOPRINT AS 'TOTAL_FAILED_CLAIMS'
END

Try this:

TABLE FILE WF_RETAIL
 SUM
  WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_SHIPPING_OPTIONS.COURIER
  CNT.DST.WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_SHIPMENTS.ID_SHIPFACT                    AS 'SHIPMENT_COUNT'
 BY TOTAL HIGHEST 3 CNT.DST.WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_SHIPMENTS.ID_SHIPFACT  NOPRINT
 BY WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_SHIPPING_OPTIONS.COURIER                       NOPRINT
  .
  .

Hi,
I tried doing it. The above code only returned one grand total as there was no other field included in the group by statement. So, I added just the Prov_ID, based on which I want to get the counts and removed all the extra by statements. It still sorts in ascending order.

TABLE FILE DQ_DATA_MODEL
-*WHERE DQ_DATA_MODEL.DIM_DQ_PROCESS.DQ_PROCESS_DESC EQ 'MA ENCOUNTER' AND DQ_DATA_MODEL.DIM_DATE.CAL_MTH EQ '8' AND DQ_DATA_MODEL.DIM_CLM_SOURCE.DESCRIPTION EQ 'BEACON';
SUM
CNT.DST.DQ_DATA_MODEL.FACT_CLAIM_DATA_QUALITY_DETAIL.CLM_NO AS 'TOTAL'
BY TOTAL HIGHEST 15 CNT.DST.DQ_DATA_MODEL.FACT_CLAIM_DATA_QUALITY_DETAIL.CLM_NO NOPRINT AS 'TOTAL'
BY DQ_DATA_MODEL.DIM_PROVIDER_NEW.PROV_ID

Thanks,
Shweta
