Set Analysis

[qlikmpate0]

I'm using set analysis to extract the value of one sales order but my joining tables do not bring back the relating information I wish to display.

This expression works correctly:- sum({<[Oderlines.Ship Month]=>}[Order amount])+sum({$sum<[Orderlines.Ship Month]=>}[frieght Amount])

This expression does work to some extent ([Order Amount])+ sum([Freight Amount]) , but when the detail is bought in not all the data is retrieved, therefore the set analysis approach was taken.

can anyone tell my why when using this expresion sum{1}([Order Amount])+ sum([Freight Amount])  affects the results, ie brings in all the records not the relating records.

any help would be appreciated, as I'm very confused.com

Message was edited by: Mina Patel Please find attached an example document, I was also wondering is it better doing the set analysis in the load acript or as an expression?

Hi

The expression you posted here is not valid syntax, but perhaps that was a typo when posting.

I am not sure what you are asking, but based on the expression, perhaps you mean this:

sum({1} [Order Amount]) + sum({1} [Freight Amount])

which sums orders and freight disregarding all selections, but respecting dimensions if used in a chart.

Hope that helps

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your prompt reply, I have tried this but still brings in unrelated records.

I'm trying to get the order amount for only a specifc order number, the qvd's I'm using has the information. My loader script does not have any restrictions, the only thing I can think of is when I bring in the header records i'm calculating the Fright amount at theis level, then bringing  in the related lines.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi,

{1} means everything

{$} means current selection

A document (tutorial on Set Analysis)  I have written few days ago may be helpfull:

Yes, I am also unsure what you are trying to achieve. Could you maybe post a small sample that demonstrates your issue?

In general, HIC posted a recent blog post that explains quite fundamental things:

And you find more explanations about set analysis in the HELP, or here or here.

I have posted my example on my post above.
