Dollar Syntax

Morning,

I was wondering if anyone has an "Idiots guide to dollar syntax"?, further more if anyone has a similar "idiots guide to Set Analysis"?

Thanks

There are two possible causes:

  • Year is not properly linked to the fact table in your model, so selecting year does not change the totals.
  • vMaxYear is not working properly.

To check the first, verify the that the Sums or Counts change when you make a selection of Year. If necessary, add a Year list box.

To check the second, create a new chart/table, enter


     Sum({$<Year={'$(=vMxYear)'}>} Sales)

as the expression. Do not enter an expression label. Now the table caption should display the expression without the $ expansion and the column label should display the expression with the dollar expansion. That should give you a clue as to what's happening.
