As you can see on the left, there are several lines with the same purpose (here the name, the first name, and the study of several students).
In order to have something readable, is there a simple way to group in a single column all lines with the same title ?
For example, I have 5 lines beginning with "Prénom", can I group them in a single column with "Prénom" as header and the list of all the lines below ?
One of the tools put in place was to create a database of all the students then to ask the database to make comparisons before re-sorting the table. But is there a simpler way to do this using Excel's native tools ?
I also tried to do it with the PivotTables but it just creates columns named "Name 1" "Name 2" "Name 3" etc instead of grouping them under the same name.

Many thanks.
Select all table data.. then click the filter button at 'Projet' column, then choose sort. That shall do what you said.

I'm trying to divide one column from metrics by another to find percentage of used Azure files but can not figure out if it's possible to do. Example is below where I want to have a new calculated column which divides column called File capacity by column called File Share Capacity.
In the metrics directly no, as metrics itself doesn't have that (yet?)
In workbooks, yes, you can do this, using a "merge" data source, which allows addition of custom calculated columns. (this is something we'd like to support directly on any metrics/query without using merge but hasn't worked its way up on to the todo list behind everything else)
configure your metrics step (make sure the metric step is set to "grid" visualization)
after your metrics step, add a new query step.
choose data source "merge"
click "add merge", and in the popup that appears choose "duplicate table" and choose the metric created in step 0
you should now see a grid of all of the fields in the table with their original name and what they'll be named after the merge
at this point, remove any columns you can remove any columns you don't need
and i'd suggest naming the rest of them nice easy names to use in steps later
click "add new item" in the toolbar
you'll get a new window for adding a new column and how to populate its rows
commonly this is used to if/then/else between values, but you'll just have one row here
in the row for conditions, click "edit" in the default row
a popup will appear, probably with a bunch of things disabled.
but one of the options there is "value from" and you can choose "expression"
after choosing "expression" you can type in the expression you want
for mine, i couldn't repro it on exactly your metrics, but i did this:
and got a grid (which i then set all the standard format options on to make it similar to the metrics grid (in group by settings group by sub, name by name, expand top level. in column settings, set the group by column renderer to resource, hide sub, name columns, set the error rate column to percent and 5 decimals) and i get this:
you can then go to the original metrics step in your workbook, and use conditional visibility settings to hide the metrics step.
Is there a way in Excel to create DropLists that display 2 columns intead of 1?
I know this can be done in VBA via a Form, but I do not want this file to be macro-enabled and even less to have to resort to a Form; I want the list to be in a cell and to have a whole column with these lists (like a column-wide Data Validation).
Assuming this is impossible, here's the workaround I implemented: I created a third column being a join/concat of the other two, so that my DropList shows both column info at the same time.
The small drawback is that when processing the selected value, I need to get only the part I need.
For instance, if my columns are "ID" and "Name", I display "Name [ID]" in the list, and when I retrieve the selected list value to process it in a formula, I get the text between [square brackets] so that I can use the unique identifier while allowing the user to choose a meaningful name in the list instead of an ID they know nothing about.
In my dashboard, I would like for the user to have the option to filter a specific field by selecting an Execl/CSV file from their computer that has all the values for that field.
I am thinking that I can have a button that would prompt the user to select the file that contains all of these values. My problem is how would I have the dashboard read all these values and then filter the field that the values correspond to?
The short answer is - you can't
A bit of workaround is to to use the compound search to select multiple specified values in a field. For example if you have Country field which contains list of countries you can select more than one by start searching in the list box and paste the values you want to select in the following format: (Austria|Germany) In this case you should provide this list instead csv (if possible) and the user need to copy paste the search criteria.
Another possible solution is to have an Qlikview extension that can do the same for you. The extension will read the file and select the values.
Update:
Using the compound search and a bit of a variable logic might lead you to the same result. Please check this post for more info
I have created a list using "Custom List in Data Sheet View". After that I created around 10 columns in that list. Problem is only for one column, it is showing as read only, rest all are working fine!! Hence I cannot insert a row in the list(Data sheet view).
How can I remove that read only attribute from the column?
One more related question is, how to make the list editable to only one group and read only to other groups?
Thank you, for your valuable inputs!!
Please refer this question... Once I delete and re created the column, the read only option has gone. Also given separate permission for the user after stopping the security inheritance from parent option in the list's permission.
I had the same problem with two columns in a list. I discovered the "Type of Text to Allow" for both columns were set to "Enhanced Rich Text". Changing the "Type of Text to Allow" for the column to only "Rich Text" solved the problem for both columns.
I would create two separate lists, and have the data entered in list 1 populate some of the data columns in table 2. Example: Request Name (single line of text), Description (Multi lines of text), Type of Request (Choice), and Completion Date (date).
When I go to the second list, I select 'Lookup', then 'Get information from:', select the first list, and all I see are "ID", "Content Type", "Version" and the "Title".
What do I need to do to get the columns from list 1 to appear in the 'Lookup' section of table 2?
The lookup field will only use text columns (regular text, calculated field with output type of text and computed columns that output text). You could probably fill out the additional fields by the means of a simple SharePoint Designer workflow that will run on item creation in the second list and fill out the columns.
I have been able to do this by creating a Feature with a custom List Definition using the FieldRef, JoinColName, JoinRowOrdinal, and JoinType attributes.
For more information, see SharePoint 2010: Set field value from query triggered by choice box selection.
I think programming will be needed you will have to use something like smartpart and create your own asp.net control that will read from database and show the data as you need it
