Hi,
I am facing an issue while trying to achieve “Sort by Key and display text in the DesignStudio Crosstab”. Is there any other way to achieve this?
In BW RSRT there is NO issue as we can see all the options for “Sort by Key and Text” always. But in Design Studio if we set ‘Member Display’ by Text then the only options to Sort is with Text and not by Key. Sorting with text will not give the proper order for example when we are showing the Quarterly TimePeriod as Q1, Q2.. for the various years.
Below is the screenshot of the BEX query with dimension “Cal. Year/Quarter” in Rows with the Sorting on the Key set to Ascending.
When displaying in BW: RSRT we can see options for Sorting with Key or Text while we are displaying Text. Please note we are not displaying Text and Key but Text Only.
The problem is in DS we have chosen the same display as Text but when trying to see Sort we see only options to Sort by Text.
I gave it another shot using the sorting API - Datasource. sortByMember("XXX", true, true); last true is for the sorting by Key (false = Text). Even then it just sorts by Text.
Can you please tell me if there is any other way to achieve this today in DS? This seems like a pretty basic workflow where a user would go in a sort the way he/she wants to see it. But sorting by Text is not really an option here.
Thanks,
Rahul
