HI  ,

 

I need to sort 2 cols. (both name and month are to be sorted in descending) and I am stuck in a workflow using sorting tool. Appreciate if you can help. Tried the sort tool but only the first col . is sorted correctly.

 

 

NameMonthSalary
ajul1
bdec2
ajan3
bsep4

 

expected output:

Hi @SrinivasanSugumaran,


You need to change the month to date format to make it work for you:

Hi Emil

Thanks for the reply.

 

The columns which I have are kind of dummy cols ...

 

In the actual data set I have 2 cols. with data type as Double. but it didn't work out.

Col. Avg RW is already sorted, but SUM RWA GBP is not .

 

Avg_AVERAGE RWSum_EAD GBP Sum_RWA GBP 
12.50.87568                      10.95
12.521749.89           271,873.66
12.574.90395                    936.30
12.59.864941                    123.31

Hi @SrinivasanSugumaran,

 

Are you sure they are duble? I needed to remove the , sign in order to change the data type correctly:

I have used this formula to make it work:

 

Replace([ Sum_RWA GBP ], ',', '')
