Is it possible to use RANK() in order to evaluate the number of child records. I am using a custom record called container. The record is parent of Item Receipts.

I want to create a search that would have

PHP Code:

Container |  Item Receipt Doc  | Rank Formula
CON1       |  IR01              |  1
CON1       |  IR02              |  2
CON1       |  IR03              |  3
CON2       |  IR04              |  1
CON2       |  IR05              |  2
CON2       |  IR06              |  3 

I have tried to use RANK() OVER (PARTITION by {internalid} ORDER BY {custbody_kcd_container.trandate} ASC )

Where custbody_kcd_container is the custom field that is making the container record the parent.

This works by ranking the date of all of the item receipts, but the counter does not reset per container record. I feel that is the partition by {internalid} part.

I have never been able to use the (DENSE_)RANK formulas yet, and would really like to get them down!

Thanks!

Nic,

I have just tried using your RANK formula as you posted it here and it works properly for me. I’m thinking it has more to do with how your search results are setup.

Can you screenshot the “Results” tab of the search configuration?
