Subject: How to get the column data of an categorized view?
Can you define what you mean by “need to get” the data? It would be in a field in each document or it would be computed based on a column formulat, so you would use the field or formula to obtain those values.
The categorization with the twistie is just a display option, it doesn’t have anything to do with the actual form/format of the data.

Basically, instead of getting real data from the detailed document level, I would prefer to get them from the categorized level. It seems it is not possible based on your feedback, so I have to loop to get the data from detailed document level, then make the result unique to get the categorized data.
Please let me know if you have any other better way, thanks

You can get data from the view without getting a handle on the document and reading data from the document. Help is pretty good for this feature.

Are you talking about totals? Not sure what else is at the categorized level.
Do a search on this forum, I know I’ve seen posts on this before.
