Stimulsoft report designer - Count sub groups - stimulsoft

Using stimulsoft designer, I built a report which contains groups and sub groups.
Next to "NO of Days", how can I show total number of subgroups (not rows) within that group? and how can I use conditional if for that?
I tried all ways (Count, CountDistinct, cCount, colCount) with no hope.
For designer view, check below:

You should try to use the CountDistinct with the Group Header as a first parameter. This should calculate count for these groups.

multiple lines made into 1 line of data

I have attached a picture of what im trying to do.
I run these reports on my techs once a week. on the left side of the picture it shows the service order number multiple times and then the the booked date and closed date the techs id number actual hours work and then sold hours. the problem is it has many lines with the same service order. i need to make it look like the line to the right. 1 usable line of data so that i can process the reports the way i need to.
Copy A1:E32 all your Data without column F and paste it in I1 it will be I1:M32 for example, select I1:M32 the new Data under Data Tab click on Remove Duplicates you will have one row for each different entry
If the Number in Ro-no (column I) is unique for each entry, use the following in N2:
=Sumif($A$2:$A$32,I2,$F$2:$F$32)
and drag it down
It will sum the Sold Hours in column F for each RO-NO
Change the references to include all your rows and keep $
Power query
One of solutions is to use MS power query addin. In Office 2016 and alike the PQ is built-in feature, located on the Data tab, Get and Transform group.
Let's say we have data like this:
We can use the Power query to Group By, like so:
The query will remember the steps you 'teach' it.

How to show most sold part numbers

I have large list of items sold and would like to be able to generate a report that shows the most sold items along with how many of each item has been sold.
I'm looking for something along the lines of =countif() but as there are so many unique part numbers I'm not sure how to do this.
To add to the confusion I'm making it so this report automatically generates by dumping the right info into certain worksheets and then running a macro written in vba.
Not asking for a step-by-step approach but maybe someone to point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
edit to show how data is organized:
PO# SO# Line Item Material# Description Order quantity Net Price Customer Created on
The same PO# and SO# will occur with multiple line items for each.
Create a PivotTable with Material# for ROWS and Sum of Order quantity for VALUES then filter for Top 10... .

Filter by string length (number of characters)

I am currently working with a table that contains a code in one column and its description in another. The bigger (longer) the code, the more specific its description. For example:
1 = Personal expenses.
1.1 = Personal services associated with payroll.
1.1.1 = Salaries of the people in the payroll.
I want to select only the rows of the table that have a maximum of 3 digits (not counting full stops) in their code. Using advanced filters in Excel, I tried to use a couple of wildcards defined on the code column, that is ? OR ??? as needed in different rows.
However, this advanced filter seems to take the wildcard as a reference of the minimum number of characters to be included in the final table, so I end up with the same list I had to begin with.
When removing one condition, and using only ??? I end up with the list:
1.1 = Personal services associated with payroll.
1.1.1 = Salaries of the people in the payroll.
Thus confirming what I had already thought.
Does anyone know how I can appropriately filter this table the way I want to?
Please try: does not contain ??????

How to get total of top 10 sales in SSRS 2012

I am taking Top 10 of Sales Volume grouped by Product categories in SSRS 2012.
I need the total of these top 10 but it shows the complete total. I cant do it on dataset level as I need the complete dataset for other parts in the report. I tried the solution as given in MSDNlink but that didn't help either. Thanks in advance.
This sort of approach does actually work very well.
You haven't given any idea of what your data/metadata is like, but the concepts can be explained with a simple example. Consider the following data:
We will make a simple report based on this, grouped by the grp column:
Sort the groups by total val, from highest to lowest:
To get the running rank and the running total, we use the RunningValue function.
To get the Group Rank, use:
=RunningValue(Fields!grp.Value, CountDistinct, Nothing)
To get the running total use:
=RunningValue(Fields!val.Value, Sum, Nothing)
Finally, we need to display a total for the Top N values; in this case I'm displaying the top 2.
For the second group detail row, use the following Row Visibility expression:
=IIf(RunningValue(Fields!grp.Value, CountDistinct, Nothing) = 2, false, true)
That is, only display this row when there have been two groups, i.e. top 2. You could change the value as required.
This shows us one total row as required:
You need to apply these concepts to your data. If you're still having issues, I suggest trying to replicate my results with the above data/code to make sure you understand all the concepts involved.
Edit after comment:
For situations where there are fewer than N groups but you still want to display the last total, you need to add an extra check to the Top N row Row Visibility expression, something like:
=IIf(RunningValue(Fields!grp.Value, CountDistinct, Nothing) = 10
or (RunningValue(Fields!grp.Value, CountDistinct, Nothing) = CountDistinct(Fields!grp.Value, "DataSet1") and CountDistinct(Fields!grp.Value, "DataSet1") < 10)
, false
, true)
So now the expression will show the for the 10th row, or if the total number of groups in the DataSet are less than 10, it will show for the last group row.
It's a bit more complicated but it has worked for me in the past; depending on your data and report setup you might need to play around with the Scope a bit to get it working in your environment.
If you just need a total for those top 10 and not a running total, you can filter your table by top N ProductCategory and sort your ProductCategory group by SalesVolume Z to A.
For example, I have a table of sales orders and subtotals. I'm showing the top 10 highest total
I sorted by SalesOrderID group descending by my value (TotalDue). Then I filtered my table so it shows only top 10 SalesOrderID.
If you have a lot of data, you may have to see how this performs since I think the table filter happens at runtime.
I think I found an easy way to do that. I had many "Sums" in my report and I couldn't understand the way you answered.
The way i found was to create a parent group of the Details group and add a total row outside the Details. Then I hided the Detais group and the total group just did the Sums and in the group properties just needed to filter the final Sum top N rows, and sort by Z to A the Sum.
All of this worked fine and was done in the Group Properties! In the tablix poperties only showed 3 or 4 rows...

Filtering a PivotTable by Boolean

The source data for my Excel PivotTable looks like the following (this is a simplification):
id name score
1 john 15
2 james 2
3 pat 14
4 jake 12
...
I have a PivotTable that uses this as a data source. Now, what I want to do is have the PivotTable only consider entries if their id is less than 100. This is theoretically achievable by having a Report Filter on id, and de-selecting any number greater than 100. But that's rather absurd.
How can I filter out data using a Boolean constraint? I've tried various methods, none of which worked. It seems like calculated fields are the key, but it doesn't seem possible to create a filter on calculated fields.
I'm using Excel 2011 for Mac, if that makes a difference. I'm a programmer, but I've never programmed in Excel, so if that's the solution, I'd request baby steps. :) Thank you!
AFAIK, In Excel 2011, you cannot use a report filter to apply any kind of filter. You have to manually check/uncheck the values that you want or don't want.
The alternative that I can think of is to insert a column before your data and enter the formula
=If(B2<100,TRUE,FALSE)
and copy it down using Autofill. (See screenshot below)
Now create a pivot and put the field "Less Than 100" in the report filter and simply select TRUE (See screenshot below)
If you don't want to go down that path then move the ID field to ROW LABEL from REPORT FILTER where you can use a filter.
A Report Filter is exactly what I would do, but rather than manually de-selecting the fields as you suggest you would do I would apply a Label filter to be less than the cut-off point, which in your example is 100.
I haven't used Excel on Mac, but on Windows on the PivotTable Field List, to the right of the id field click the little black arrow, and select Label Filters -> Less Than and then enter 100 in the dialogue that pops up.
Given the inherent value of PivotTables is the ability to apply filters exactly for this sort of scenario I don't think I'd do anything more complicated.
