Hi.
I am having a couple of problems with sorting a row group in a matrix report usinq SSRS SQL2008 and as I am still new to this wondered if anyone was able to point out what I a missing
Problem : SSAS Matrix table does not sort row group correctly.
I would like the following :
| Number of Months | Count |
| 1 | 1000 |
| 2 | 2000 |
| 3 | 3000 |
| 4 | 4000 |
| etc… |
I can sort the table (on the data region or at the group level) but get a text version of the sort (i.e. 1, 10,11,2,21,) or without it the data comes out in the order it is in the data query (i.e. creates distinct groups but in random order such as 5,13,2,7 etc.).
The data query is supplied by a Cube in SSAS, containing a number of other dimensions, and the cube knows that this column is an integer. It has been set up in the attribute properties to sort by key, i.e. its own value, and defined in the key an value properties of the attribute. As a result browsing the cube generates a correctly sorted result . (NB: I also have a name field to convert the integer to a description (i.e. 1- Month 1,2=month 2 etc) which can be put in the name property but using this in the name property does not make any difference).
Am I missing something obvious when setting the default order of a row group?
Many Thanks
Richard
