Output of Cross Tab tool arranged alphabetically

Polite123

Hi team,

 

I am trying to generate Summary sheet with the help of Cross Tab but the data in column Values is getting arranged alphabetically which is not desired.

 

Output of Cross Tab:

ValuesABC
Amount to be given471
Balance582
Checks693

 

Required Output(For example ...in actual there are many row items):

 

ValuesABC
Checks693
Amount to be given471
Balance582

 

 

Thanks!!!

Hi @Polite123 ,

 

If I understand correctly, there's a couple of ways you could sort of manually hack this sort. If it's ever sorted in the correct way during the workflow, then you could add a RecordID or some kind of tag afterwards to be sorted on after the crosstab.

 

If that doesn't work for whatever reason then you could even just add a manual lookup to join on and sort that way. Neither are ideal but if you attach a mock input then I'm sure myself or someone else will be happy to mock up a workflow.

@Polite123 One way of doing this. Please note this is not dynamic

@Polite123 

 

Can you please share a dummy sample of data before Cross Tab tool to test ?

 

At first glance, I would say to insert a recordID before the cross tab tool and just after do an ascending sort on RecordID to find the order of the original rows.

Hi @Emmanuel_G,@binuacs,@JamesCharnley ,

 

Thanks for all your help.

I solved it by applying record id and then sorting it after cross tab and finally applying join helped me.
