Selection in Set Analysis

[Anonymous]

Hi, QlikView community

I have a formula in set analysis:

Sum({$<Region ={‘South’, 'North', 'East'}>} Sales)

In my dataset I have South, North, East and West.

So in my set analysis I do not want have information regarding West.

But here is my problem. I want to select South and look at data regarding South.

But I can't do that if my set analysis is like that.

Do you have any idea how to do that

Sum({$<Region =e({‘West’})>} Sales)

ok, Gowtham

But if I have dataset with millions of value and I only want three.

How can I do that.

It will take hours to exclude every value that I do not want

[gautik92]

then create a new field in the script match that three with match() function and make it null

I can't do anything in the expression?

I have to it in the script?

Have you tried Gowtham's expression ?

Set Analysis can be surprisingly quick and efficient.

Perhaps if you explain a little more what it is you're trying to do?

Your first posting sounded like there were only four distinct values.

With that I would use;

Sum({$<Region -={‘West’}>} Sales)

[gautik92]

you can do it in expression

Load

....

...

from tablename where match(region,'West')=0;

Try like:

Sum({$<Region ={‘South’, 'North', 'East'}> * <Region=$::Region>} Sales)
