How can I filter by only items that match multiple selected dimensions (same field)?

Anonymous — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 19:15:21 GMT

I am working on an app that would allow the user to search capacity based on skillsets. So my data includes lists of members and their respective skillsets, here is a rough sample of what it would look like:

Member1 | Skillset 1

Member1 | Skillset 2

Member1 | Skillset 3

Member1 | Skillset 4

Member2 | Skillset 1

Member2 | Skillset 4

I am trying to allow the app users to search for "% matches" of skillsets, so if they selected Skillsets 1, 2, and 4 the table would display Member1 as 100% match and member 2 as 66% match.

Any help on how to do this would be greatly appreciated, I have tried what feels like 20 different approachs but have been getting odd/misleading results or errors.

May be this

=Count(DISTINCT Skill)/GetSelectedCount(Skill)

Or this if you would want to see 100% when nothing is selected.

=Count(DISTINCT Skill)/If(GetSelectedCount(Skill) = 0, Count(DISTINCT Skill), GetSelectedCount(Skill))

Also attaching Qlik Sense sample

This worked perfectly!! Thanks! I was getting lost down the "aggregates inside aggregates" wormhole and lost sight of this type of approach.

Thanks again
