Set Analysis - question

[#1]

Scenario:

I have a list box with Name, Location, Type.

I have buttons to select the date range that i want to see the sales for. So i have: CY2009, CUR12MTHS, FY2010.

I have used Set Analysis to show me sales disregarding any selections formula below:

Sum

( {1<area>} Amt) - simple straight forward.

So if i were to make a selection from the list box or pick a date range the numbers would not change because its fixed.

But i need the numbers to change based on the date range i select, but not if i make a selection in the List Box.

How can i accomplish this.

Thanks,

Krishan

Krishan,

Specifying the number 1 will ignore ALL selections made, the set expression to ignore only some fields is as follows:

{$<Name = , Location = , Type = >}

That way, your expression will ignore selections made on the fields Name, Location and Type.

Hope this helps.

Mike.

Thanks Mike,

I did something close to that but my expression includes the -1 after the $. Both expressions probably do the same thing just written in a different way.

sum( {$-1<Name,Location,Type>} Amt )

Thanks for the response.

Hi,

According to the Help, your expression does not do the same as the one I suggested:

sum( {$-1<Product = {"*Internal*", "*Domestic*"}>} Sales )
returns the sales for current selection, excluding transactions pertaining to products with the string 'Internal' or 'Domestic' in the product name.

Could you post an example qvw, maybe I canb take a look.

Mike.
