Trying to group samples using composite report, can anyone help?
Hello, I am trying to set up a composite filter in my summary by all report method. I have a summary chart and peak table grouped together for my single active component and in the composite, its filtered by "Lactose_Weight" ( a sample custom field) ascending so for each different lactose weight it displays my chart for the component and the peak table for all the lactose weight samples.
However, I often run up to 100 samples and they very in Lot number so I could run 10 samples of one lot at "Lactose _weight" of 100 followed by another 10 samples of the same batch at a "Lactose_weight" of 150 etc and all that is fine it displays all my data per lactose weight.
The problem is when my Lot number changes...say from Lot number A to Lot Number B- then whats happening is its displaying data for Lactose Weight 100 for ALL batch numbers in the same sample set and I don't want it to do that, I need it to only summarize this data for each different batch in the sample set, but when I change the composite filter to Lot_Number ascending its displaying individual peak and lot number tables for each vial which isn't what I'm looking for either. Is there a way to set up a filter to display results by both Lactose_Weight and Lot number?

Try to set the Date Acquired condition in the Order By table for the single objects of your Composite Group.0

Have you tried to set following definition in the Order By table of the Composite Group Property: 1. order (asc) Lot Number and 2. order (asc) Lactose_Weight? If I understood your requirement correctly, this should work.0

HI thanks for the reply. I will try that tomorrow when I have access to it. I didn't think a composite could filter by more than one condition. If I pick Lot Number ascending does that go by alphabetical order or date acquired order? I might add that as a condition too because I don't want it ordered by Lot R100 over Lot A100. Ideally I want it to first order by Lactose_Weight, then Lot_Number but also date acquired for these fields.0
