Hi,

We are using InfoAssist to create a report.

I want to get a runtime row sequence number based on a column (like "row_number() over (partition by column_name order by sort_column_name)" in Oracle database). I should then be able to filter the first sequence id.

Can someone please help me?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Manoj.

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for because I didn't understand what you meant my "partition".

DEFINE FILE CAR
SEQ_ID/I11 WITH CAR=IF COUNTRY NE LAST COUNTRY THEN 1 ELSE SEQ_ID + 1;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR
BY COUNTRY
BY LOWEST SEQ_ID
WHERE SEQ_ID EQ 1
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 = IBFS:/FILE/IBI_HTML_DIR/ibi_themes/Warm.sty,
$
ENDSTYLE
END


Many thanks Chuck.

As I am using InfoAssist, I am assuming that the SEQ_ID is a COMPUTE calculation. When used as a COMPUTE calculation I am getting a proper sequence ID, but if I create a calculation based on DEFINE it's not consistent.

Then I filtered the COMPUTE calculation by limiting it to 1 (right click > Sort > Limit > Custom .. 1), as I can not drag and drop a calculation based on COMPUTE to the Filter pane.

The report is returning expected rows.

Very helpful. Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

Manoj.
