Set Analysis for getting the Minus count for two values!

[siva_boggarapu]

Dear Members,

Could anyone will help with writing the Set Analysis for getting the Minus count for two values! Suppose I have two

if(OW_RT = 'OW' and Ticket_status_name <> 'Cancelled' or Ticket_status_name <> 'Failed'

  and COMP = '19',count({$<TKT_TYPE={'ETK','TKT'}> }DISTINCT TICKET)))

In the count ({$<TKT_TYPE={'ETK','TKT'}> }-I want to deduct the TKT_TYPE={'CRN'}.

Can anyone tell me how can we do this.

Thanks & Regards.

If I understand correctly...

try this:     Count({$<TKT_TYPE = {'ETK', 'TKT'}, TKT_TYPE -= {'CRN'}>} DISTINCT TICKET)

this will show a red line under the -= as if there is an error but should work and will exclude the CRN from that count

I am also not sure if I understood, I assume you want to count the tickets of type ETK or TKT and then deduct the the count of tickets of type CRN:

count({$<TKT_TYPE = {'ETK','TKT'}>} DISTINCT TICKET ) - count({$<TKT_TYPE = {'CRN'}>}DISTINCT TICKET )

I believe this is different from just creating a selection in TKT_TYPE with values ETK and TKT, removing CRN from that selection, and then count the TICKETS associated to this set (I do believe you actually don't need the TKT_TYPE -= {'CRN'} part in the set expression, since this set element value is implicitely excluded with the first set element anyway).

Say you have 9 balls, 3 red, 3 green, 3 yellow, with distinct ball number. My above expression will return count( Red + green balls) = 6 and deduct 3 yellow balls, so you get a result of three. While I see no way to create one single  set that will result in the difference of the count of two sets with out actually performing the counts (e.g. I think the result of zack.lore's expression in my example would be 6).

But maybe I just don't understand your setting or requirement correctly, so please just comment on this.
