I just noticed when working with a xp:viewPanel which displays a view containing totals. These totals are not displayed when the column is set to 'display as link'.
Could someone explain to me why this is happening? Or what the fix would be to work around this behaviour.
What I'm seeing is that the column totals for category rows disappear when the column is set to display as links. This is what you are seeing, right?
This may appear to be an issue at first glance, though more likely to be a software limitation - working as designed.
Category totals don't refer to a specific document so it makes sense in a way not to put links there for these rows. Elsewhere it makes sense as those rows refer to documents.
However, maybe category totals should display regardless and not have the links applied by the runtime. This would be an enhancement request.

I am trying generate a summary page for a list of lessons from a different sheet.
I'm currently using the formula =UNIQUE(FILTER('Lessons NEW'!$E2:$E1009,(RIGHT(LEFT('Lessons NEW'!$E2:$E1009,5),1)="1")+(LEN('Lessons NEW'!$E2:$E1009)=3))) to do so.
This is displaying my list like so, with the code column being the only really important one, as the rest could be fetched from it's result.
This works, but there are two features that I want working that I've not been able to find a way to do;
Split the output into groups. I am after a title to each group/section, and a gap between them too. As in screenshot here.
Arrange it to display in multiple columns (As in have half the results in column B, and half in column G for example.) In the process of this, I'd prefer the resulting sections (as in point 1, aren't broken, and kept together instead of being split between columns.
I'm not sure if what I'm asking is too much, or very much doable, but keen for suggestions or ideas if there is a way.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I've updated the formula (above) and added a title to the source column that it's fetching from. It's now producing this.
What I want it to do, is to break it further for aesthetics and for easy separation when others are looking at it, and to bolden the title row for each section. (I think I can work out the conditional formatting for the title row...)
This is what I want it to end up looking like.

I have been searching high and low for a way to solve my dilemma, in different ways, so I am trying to post both of the things I've been trying to do:
The challenge version 1:
I want to extract the entire row with information tied to the name which is the latest entry of that name in the table. So from the table below I would want to collect the entire row which contains the information: "A, Jack Black, 01.01.2029, 10:20". I simply want to copy the entire row to another sheet. But one important factor is that it has to happen automatically.
So i need functions which can check if: Is there another entry with the same name, higher up in the table? If so, DO NOT COPY THE ROW. If there ain't another entry with the exact same name higher up in the table, COPY THE ENTIRE ROW, to another table, within another sheet.
The challenge version 2:
What I really want to do is count the number of unique people(unique names) per. department, and summarize this in another table. Basically this means that "Jack Black" should be counted as 1 person, in department A.
So the result I want, is a table looking like this (the one beneath), where the number of people does not contain any duplicate people (names). OR it does not function with a dynamic table, which updates the information it contains on the fly. I can make this happen if I am copying from a static table, but as stated above, the table is dynamic and updates with new information every minute...
So far i've tried excel's built in filtering, but this does not work automatically. I've also tried using functions like in this guide: https://excel-bytes.com/how-to-extract-a-dynamic-list-from-a-data-range-based-on-a-criteria-without-filters-in-excel/. However every solution i find seems to need criteria for filtering out duplicates or does not function when copying information from a dynamic table.
Does anyone know how to reach my desired result, without implementing criteria for selecting the rows or counting rows as stated above? VBA code is not an option at the moment :(
In advance, THANK YOU, I've really tried solving this, but I feel like this just might break my head wide open soon if I can't solve it. HEEEEELP!
Sincerely

I have a huge table with data structured like this:
And I would like to display them in Spotfire Analyst 7.11 as follows:
Basically I need to display the columns that contain "ANTE" below the others in order to make a comparison. Values that have variations for the same ID must be highlighted.
I also have the fields "START_DATE_ANTE" and "END_DATE_ANTE" which have been omitted in the example image.
Amusingly, if you were limited to just what the title asks, this would be a very simple answer.
If you wanted this in a table where the rows are displayed as usual, and the cells are highlighted, you can do this by going to properties, adding a newGrouping where you select VAL_1 and VAL_1_ANTE and add a Rule, Rule type "Boolean expression", where the value is:
[VAL_1] - [VAL_1_ANTE] <> 0
This will highlight the affected cells, which you can place next to each other. You can even throw in a calculated column showing the difference between the two columns, and slap it on right next to it. This gives you the further option to filter down to only showing rows with discrepancies, or sorting by these values.
However, if you actually need it to display the POSTs on different lines from the ANTEs, as formatted above, things get a little tricky.
My personal preference would be to pivot (split/union/etc) the data before pulling it in to Spotfire, with an indicator flag on "is this different", yes/no. However, I know a lot of Spotfire users either aren't using a database or don't have leeway to perform the SQL themselves.
In fact, if you try to do it in Spotfire using custom expressions alone, it becomes so tricky, I'm not sure how to answer it right off. I'm inclined to think you should be able to do it in a cross table, using Subsets, but I haven't figured out a way to identify which subset you're in while inside the custom expressions.
Other options include generating a table using IronPython, if you're up to that.
I have been absolutely stymied by Sharepoint lookups and the complete lack of information anywhere that relates to my problem so one last stab at seeing if anyone has a clue if not I am going to find another job which doesnt involve the use of this very good but highly complicated system.
My problem is that I want to add a column in list 1 that looks up a column in list 2, all very easy you may think and the nice videos on you tube make it seem very easy. So imagine the frustration when I create the column choose the appropriate list from "get information from" drop down and then go to the "in this column" drop down to find the fields i want are missing. I have tried this many ways and could not resolve it. So I decided to start again and set up a brand new list 2 which contains just 4 columns each created manually one column is "just single line of text" called Financial year the other three are a "number" and called Population, Dwellings and Non Domestic. Now having done that I would expect to see thos 4 columns (Financial year, Population, Dwellings and Non Domestic) all appear in the "in this column" drop down when setting up the lookup. But no of course not bloody Sharepoint will only show: Title, Financial year, ID , Content Type, version, and Title (linked to item) none of which I am the slightest bit interested in. I want to look up Population, or Dwellings or Non Domestic. Why is this so easy to do in Excel but in Sharepoint it seems as if Bill Gates has decided he's in charge of what people lookup!! in a word its crap.
I should have added that the same happens whatever list I select to look up from.
I have a table of customers to which my company ships products. The problem is that these customers need to be sorted by their area codes, so that the products can be sent to the appropriate shipping companies (we have two partner companies that ship to certain parts of the country). Each company sent us a list of area code numbers to which they can ship and I need to divide the Excel sheet into two sheets, each containing the customers with the area codes compatible with the respective company.
I tried to solve this problem with VLOOKUP function, but it only works on individual row basis, and I need a solution that will find all rows that contain a number from the specified group of area codes.
Another way would be IF function that would put a True or False (one IF function for each company) value in new column and then I could sort by that value, and copy the data into a new sheet. This approach would work, but the IF function would be extremely long and hard to control.
Can you suggest a way to solve this problem?
Edit to incorporate details provided via Comment:
Presently I have about 5,000 rows but in future it might be more though I doubt over 10,000 rows.
A VLOOKUP seems very promising, of the kind =VLOOKUP($B2,F:G,1,0) in C2 copied across and down as required, with a layout as below:
This does not group as you say you require (but do you really need to?) because it seems possible some locations will be served by both shippers. You might resolve this by flagging those rows where both are viable and then by sorting to split into three groups (Shipper1 only, Shipper2 only, both) before transferring the ranges as desired.
Edit in response to OPs comment
If you can be certain there is no overlap between Shippers, a single column with this formula, say in E2copied down, might be preferable:
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(B2,F:F,0)>0),"Shipper2","Shipper1")
and would not routinely show #N/A. (This assumes no area is outside the range of both shippers.)
