Let say I used this query Select customerName From tbCustomer.
How can I display the result in this layout:
CUSTOMER : customerA, customerB, customerC
NOT
CUSTOMER
-customerA
-customerB
-customerC
Normally this is done using columns and horizontal filling. That's the simplest solution. It should be easy for you to figure out how to do this if you know to define how many columns are in the report and set the "Print order" to Horizontal.
That would not have the commas that you show in your example, but it would be quite similar.
If you really want exactly what you have shown, then you could create a variable that appends each customer name to it as it iterates. In your simple example you would display this value in the Summary band (or Title or other band... but not the detail band).

I've built a cross table in Spotfire with some data which is aggregated in various ways (e.g. "sum", "first", etc.).
The default headers are really ugly (e.g. "SUM(revenue)") and I would like to change them to something a bit more relatable. For example, instead of SUM(revenue), I would like to have "Total Revenue".
Just edit the properties of the Cross Table (right click, properties), then type a new name into the Display Name box that I helpfully outlined with a freehand red circle! You get to that screen by clicking the little black triangle beside the column name:
For the example you gave in your question, just add the bolded portion below in the Custom Expression editor:
Sum(Revenue) AS [Total Revenue]
With several columns, it would be:
Sum(Revenue) AS [Total Revenue], Sum(Expense) AS [Total Expense]
...and so on. You can also include special characters in your title as long as you're using the brackets
OK, I think I found a way...apparently you can't change the columns that are already there but you can delete everything and set the names when you are setting up the columns.

If anyone knows how to edit the titles instead of having to re-do the table every time, it would be great!
I'd like to sort a time series of exam performance by one of three categories:
Ideally, a function would sort the scores by "difficulty" while still preserving chronological order. I'd like to do this without filters etc. Something like this is very close, but not quite there. Do I need to use dynamic ranges? Or can I just define data ranges in the table dialog with VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH?
I'm thinking a bar graph would be the easiest way to illustrate the data, but I'm open to suggestions. New scores are added every day, with varying difficulties.
Here is the spreadsheet if anyone would like to look it over.
EDIT:
The output visualization could be, for example, a clustered bar graph, but with only one label per category. The idea is that I'd like to preserve chronological order without necessarily having to mark it on the graph.
Would there, for instance, be a quick-and easy and formula-driven way to put these 14 and 17 values for "score" all together under one label? I feel like 17 bar graphs clustered too closely would be hard to read.
I realize this is more of a formatting than a formula issue, but I appreciate input with regards to both.
I would recommend you add a Table over the data in the workbook. One for verbal and one for math. The upside is that it will automatically grow with your data as you add new rows. This is very helpful because charts and other things will automatically refer to the new data. Add one with CTRL+T or Insert->Table on the Ribbon.
Once you have the Table, you can easily do the sorting bit by adding a two column sort onto the Table. This menu is accessible by right clicking in the Table and doing Sort->Custom Sort. Again, the Table is nice here because it will only sort the data within it (not the whole sheet) and will remember your settings. This lets you add new data and simply do Data->Reapply to get it to sort again. Your sort on Difficulty is going to be alphabetic unless you add a number at the front. Here is the sorting step:
With this done, you can create a quick chart based on that data. For the "implicit chronology" you can simply plot score vs. difficulty for all of them since they are sorted.
To get closer to that matrix style display, you can easily create a PivotTable based on this Table and let it do the organizing by date/difficulty. Here is the result of that. I am using Average as the aggregation function since it appears that no dates have more than 1 score. If they did, it would be a better choice than Sum.
Lets say I have the data about some kind of requests.
I have column determining request's creation date.
I wish to show the requestes Trellis'ed by this date but not the standard way.
I wish all the requests with creation date older than 2013-01-01 to be grouppped in one trellis graph.
I also would like to retain the possibility to have information on both year and quarter level as it is available for typical date column.
The image below show sth similar to what I need but the Empty section comes as the last one and I need it with different label and on the left hand side rather than as it is now on the right hand side.
Any ideas ?
my suggestion is to make two visualizations. you can duplicate the one you've already created and then limit its data by editing the properties for that vis, viewing the Data page, and using the Limit data using expression field, giving an expression like [Date Column] < "2013-01-01". you'd do the same on the second vis except use an expression like [Date Column] >= "2013-01-01".
the easiest way to change (Empty) to "something" is to not leave it empty :) you can create a calculated column with the expression If([Column] is null, "Custom Empty", [Column]) and then use that on the horizontal axis. alternatively you can hide (Empty) values from a visualization by limiting the visualization by an expression like [Column] is not null.
you can adjust the order which values are shown by going to the Edit menu and choosing Column Properties. choose the column, click the Sort Order tab, select Custom Sort Order, and click Configure.
I have : <xp:repeat id="repeatColor" value="#{productcolors}"
var="rowData" indexVar="rownum" >
PROBLEM : rownum goes from 0 to the last correct value, but rowData is always the same
This repeat control is bound to a view "productcolors" , a view with a key on product code.
This view has a first column with the product code , ascending (for the key).
It also has a second and a third column with ascending multiple value fields.(second is framecolor, third is upholstery color)
The idea is that the repeat control goes through the different colors for the selected product, but it only shows the first one and does that the number of times (rownum increases correctly)that there are colors for the selected product.
EDIT :
So I have for example a product called "A" available in framecolors "1" "2" and "3"
When I am using the repeat control rownum changes from 0 to 2 but rowData is always the reference of framecolor "1". I don't know why rowData isn't changing.
When I use rowData.getUniversalID() I am getting 3 times the ID of the document containing the multiple value field with the 1 , 2 and 3 in it, which is I guess normal ? But how can I get a handle to those different values inside it ?
SECOND EDIT
I tried :
var testje:string = rowData.getUniversalID();
var db:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase(database.getServer(),"product/colors.nsf");
var doc:NotesDocument = db.getDocumentByUNID(testje);
test = doc.getItemValueString("colorUpholstery");
The result is that "test" only holds the first item of the multiple value field "colorUpholstery" .
How is that possible ? I thought I would get the complete value of the "colorUpholstery" field ?
Maybe because I only have reader access(Publicaccess) to the colors.nsf database ?
It would be nice to see a little more code... like what's inside the repeat.. just to get a better feel for it to go along with your description of the Notes View.
rowData should be an XSPViewEntry... basically a NotesViewEntry... I suggest you first do something like rowData.getDocument().getUniversalId() to make sure it is iterating the documents correctly. I'm sure it is.
It sounds like you're trying to do something with a multi-value field.. are you also setting the view to use display multiple values as row entries? or whatever that setting is? That might get dicey if that's turned on. Not sure.
Again I'm not totally following what what the goal is but I would first test to make sure it is actually repeating the expected documents. then it's all about fine tuning.
EDIT: Ok... some thoughts based on your additional info:
I suspect that your problem is the use of the view setting "show multiple values as separate entries". Each is the same document really. So that's likely not helping you here. I'm still a little fuzzy on exactly what you want for the output. Is this from a "view page" of maybe products? a "form page" of a single product?
I ASSUME you want all the colors for a single product? And this is a lookup view right? so you're on your product "document" and now you want to list all the colors?
Assuming so...
Use SSJS and the object model. Do a lookup to find the SINGLE document that has the multi-value color field for your current product. then return to a repeat control something like:
lookupDoc.getItemValue("colorField")
I'm not 100% sure that's the correct syntax. The point is you can send a multi-value field to a repeat control and it will repeat it. Much easier then trying to use view tricks.
If your goal is to have a Repeat of multiple products.. and in side each "row" to show all the available colors then you're looking to have a nested repeat really... The outer repeat (outerData) to iterate over all the main products and inside that another repeat (innerData) for the colors. Inside that repeat code you use the "outerData" to get the multi-value field. Something like:
outerData.getDocument().getItemValue("colorField")
Assuming I'm understanding you correctly these are my suggestions.
I did do an example of nested repeats like this on an early NotesIn9. I believe it was this one: http://notesin9.com/index.php/2010/03/30/notes-in-9-show-14-repeats-repeated/
Maybe that will help.
Second Edit Response:
Based on the code you added you're using "doc.getItemValueString()" By design that will only get you the first value of a multi-value field. This is the same as saying in LotusScript:
doc.colorUpholstery(0)
or the less commonly used
doc.getItemValue("colorUpholstery")(0) ' I might have that wrong. I never really used it
Again if you want to make a list of all the colors I'd use a repeatControl and pass in:
doc.getItemValue("colorUpholstery") then your "rowData" for that repeat will be each value. I've seen others avoid the repeat and doing some javascript explode or implode type thing I believe. using "\N" or something as a separator for a new line. I just use a repeat. Easer for me to understand.
Again I THINK everything you need really is in NotesIn9 episode 14.
Does anyone know how i can find similar descriptions in excel and replace them with 1 other description is there a wild card?
i am. trying to make a pivot chart with a list of transactions and their descriptions and i want to group all my ATM withdrwls but i cant. On the pivot chart they appear as ATM Withdrwal-REF-1234 and each of these "withdrwls" have different reference and as a result they show up as individual items on the chart...how can i group say all my ATM withdrwals as 1 ATM Withrdawl item so that it shows a 1 atm withdrwl item on my pivot chart?
Have you considered making two fields-- one that captures the ATM Withdrwal portion of the string and one that captures the rest? It would effectively be some sort of "category" field.
It should be a fairly simple thing to do with the macro capability in excel.
