Adding same columns with data from another column

Posted on by ramanan89 168

Hi,

I am trying to create a chart with sum of the values with the same date, with the help of "eka24" I was able to get the code for it, but now the problem is I am not getting the sum of the values.

 

The code I am using is,

 

ClearCollect(
 MyRequest,
 Filter(
 AddColumns(
 GroupBy(
 'All Requests',
 "Deadline",
 "AllSlides"
 ),
 "TotalSlides",
 Sum(
 AllSlides,
 'Slide Count'
 )
 ),
 Deadline >= Today()
 )
);

 

But the output I am getting is

for Date 06/07 it should sum the values and show one bar with the value 36 and same with others also. And only show bars of 3 days that is today, tomorrow and day after that. Also, the collection is very much required as it is used for validation also.

 

The table is as follows,

Thanks

    Hi @ramanan89 ,

    Before looking at anything else, try this

    ClearCollect(
 MyRequest,
 AddColumns
 GroupBy(
 Filter(
 'All Requests'
 Deadline >= Today()
 ),
 "Deadline",
 "AllSlides"
 ),
 "TotalSlides",
 Sum(
 AllSlides,
 'Slide Count'
 )
 )
)

    Thanks. But still gives the same chart, 😞

    ClearCollect(
 MyRequest,
 AddColumns(
 GroupBy(
 Filter(
 'All Requests',
 Deadline >= Today()
 ),
 "Deadline",
 "AllSlides"
 ),
 "TotalSlides",
 Sum(
 AllSlides,
 'Slide Count'
 )
 )
);

    Thanks @ramanan89 ,

    Breaking this down as per comments below

    ClearCollect(
 MyRequest, //Collection MyRequest
 AddColumns( //add columns below
 GroupBy( //group below
 Filter( //show only 
 All Requests', //from list 'All requests'
 Deadline >= Today() //records where deadline today or beyond
 ),
 "Deadline", //group by deadline date
 "AllSlides" //put rest of fields in this table
 ),
 "TotalSlides", //add column TotalSlides
 Sum( //which is the sum of
 AllSlides, //the fields belonging to the deadline date
 'Slide Count' //of the 'Slide Count' numeric field
 )
 )
)

    This code should show the sum of the field 'Slide Count' in each Deadline group. You might have to look at your data unless what I have put above is not what you want.

    Thanks.

    Yes, everything is right. I even tried generating a data table and it shows the same error,

    Or is it because of time with date, should we only compare the date value. Since the date and time are different it might not be grouping.

    @ramanan89 ,

    I think you have it now - Deadline needs to be a date only field (I assumed it was) - not time and date.

    I cannot test this, but try

    ClearCollect(
 MyRequest,
 AddColumns
 GroupBy(
 AddColumns(
 Filter(
 'All Requests'
 Deadline >= Today()
 ),
 "DLDate",
 Text(Deadline,"dd/mm/yyyy")
 ),
 "DLDate",
 "AllSlides"
 ),
 "TotalSlides",
 Sum(
 AllSlides,
 'Slide Count'
 )
 )
)

    Hi, one more help. How do I sort the Date column in Ascending order and also show only top 3 entries. Thanks 🙂

    Hi @ramanan89 ,

    I cannot possibly test this, but something like the below might work.

    ClearCollect(
 MyRequest,
 AddColumns
 GroupBy(
 AddColumns(
 FirstN(
 Sort(
 Filter(
 'All Requests'
 Deadline >= Today()
 ),
 Deadline,
 Descending
 ),3
 ),
 "DLDate",
 Text(Deadline,"dd/mm/yyyy")
 ),
 "DLDate",
 "AllSlides"
 ),
 "TotalSlides",
 Sum(
 AllSlides,
 'Slide Count'
 )
 )
)

    Thank you this works 🙂

    I had changed the Descending to Ascending order, but it was showing only 2 bars in the graph. So had to change the number to 4 to show 3 bars. Not sure if that is right. But I am getting the desired output.

     

    Edit

     

    Same issue, it goes back to 2 bars. I feel something wrong somewhere 😞
