Re: How to sort on Multiple columns in WebI report

Let me share a POC I did in BOXI3.1 with efashion universe :

My initial Table:

It has break in Year. CountVariable is having formula: =Count([Lines];All)Where ([Quarter]="Q1")

This is similar to Email Sent in your case. Now I need to sort the block based on the subtotals.

Now, click on Year column and uncheck the sort option in break properties.

Now create a variable for subtotal which we will use for sorting.

v_Subtotal =Sum([CountVariable] In Break)

Now is the tricky part. Select Year column and add a ranking.

Use top N where N >= number of Years. Here you need to assume a maximum and use a sufficiently large value. I have only 3 years in my report and I have used top 10 as I assume no of years will never cross 10.

Apply the sort based on v_Subtotal variable that we created already.

Here is the final result:

The years are now sorted based on subtotal.

Try it and let us know if you are able to achieve what you want.
