Worksheet parameters for the ORDER and HEAD functionality

New worksheet parameters are added to the pivot_editor report to define a subset of elements for display, ordered by specified measure values. This enhancement supports alignment order of multiple dimensions on worksheet rows (left) or worksheet columns (top).

These parameters are added:

  • rv_order_top (Top Order)
  • rv_order_left (Left Order)
  • rv_head_top (Top Results)
  • rv_head_left (Left Results)

ORDER parameters are in the format of an MDX expression containing some element selection and sort order in the format, Expression, Sort Order. For example: ([%measures%].currentmember,[Current Year]),BDESC

Order elements on the dimension by the selected values of the measure for Current Year in descending order, disregarding the hierarchy.

HEAD parameters accept a numerical value indicating the first ’x’ number of results returned to display in the dimension. When used in conjunction with ORDER, this displays the top or bottom "x" results.
