Perform calculations based on certain cells in a column.

    Hi,

I'm new to Qlik. I'm trying to create a dashboard for a backpacker hostel. I want to calculate occupancy based on grouping of room types. I have the following data:

Example, I need to find the combined available inventory on each of the dates for

Standard Rooms + Deluxe Rooms + Luxury Rooms + Designer Suites

6 Bed Mixed Dorm + 8 Bed Mixed Dorm

Can anyone help me with this?

Not sure what your expected output needs to look like but can you use Hotel Code and Date as your dimension and Sum([Available Inventory]) as your expression in a table?

Hi Sunny,

I want to group

  • (Standard Rooms + Deluxe Rooms + Luxury Rooms + Designer Suites) as Private rooms
  • (6 Bed Mixed Dorm + 8 Bed Mixed Dorm) as Dorms

Then I want to display total available inventory of Private Rooms and Dorms based on dates.

Then you can create a calculated dimension

Dimensions

Hotel Code

Date

If(Match([Room Types], '6 Bed Mixed Dorm', '8 Bed Mixed Dorm'), 'Dorms', 'Private Rooms')

Expression

Sum([Available Inventory])

Hi Aviral,

you can create something similar using Pivot table.

First you need a extra grouping table:

Grouping:

Load

    *

Inline [

    Room Type, Room Group

    6 Bed Mixed Dorm, Dorms

    8 Bed Mixed Dorm, Dorms

    Standard Rooms, Private rooms

    Deluxe Rooms, Private rooms

    Luxury Rooms, Private rooms

    Designer Suites, Private rooms

]

;

And then create a Pivot table chart with the Room Group as dimension.

You can then enable Show partial sums (in Presentation tab) on the dimension level below the group.

The result looks like this, first 4 columns are dimensions, last 3 are expressions.

If you need a full table looking exactly like the one you have, that would be more complicated - using aggr().
