Nested If else in SET ANALYSIS

Anonymous — Thu, 05 Jul 2018 17:45:02 GMT

Hello Guyz,

I am having a problem with converting this nested If else statement in SET analysis,

sum( DISTINCT

If(Temp_Target='INR',

IF(Temp_Base ='INR',Temp_TotalAmount,

IF(Temp_Base='USD',Temp_TotalAmount*(65),

Temp_TotalAmount*(3.62))),

If(Temp_Target='AED',

IF(Temp_Base ='INR',Temp_TotalAmount*(1/3.62),

IF(Temp_Base='USD',Temp_TotalAmount*(65/3.62),

Temp_TotalAmount)),

If(Temp_Target='USD',

IF(Temp_Base ='INR',Temp_TotalAmount*(1/65),

IF(Temp_Base='USD',Temp_TotalAmount,

Temp_TotalAmount*(3.62/65))),

)

It's just a Filter Temp_Target,

and likewise it would convert the TotalAmount.

Please Let me knw how to Solve this particular!

Regards

It's a rather messy way of doing currency conversion - but I don't know the context so here is another messy way of doing it with Set Expressions:

Sum( {<Temp_Target={'INR'},Temp_Base={'INR'}>} Temp_TotalAmount)

+ Sum( {<Temp_Target={'INR'},Temp_Base={'USD'}>} Temp_TotalAmount)*65

+ Sum( {<Temp_Target={'INR'},Temp_Base={'AED'}>} Temp_TotalAmount)*3.62

+ Sum( {<Temp_Target={'AED'},Temp_Base={'INR'}>} Temp_TotalAmount)/3.62

+ Sum( {<Temp_Target={'AED'},Temp_Base={'USD'}>} Temp_TotalAmount)*65/3.62

+ Sum( {<Temp_Target={'AED'},Temp_Base={'AED'}>} Temp_TotalAmount)

+ Sum( {<Temp_Target={'USD'},Temp_Base={'INR'}>} Temp_TotalAmount)/65

+ Sum( {<Temp_Target={'USD'},Temp_Base={'USD'}>} Temp_TotalAmount)

+ Sum( {<Temp_Target={'USD'},Temp_Base={'AED'}>} Temp_TotalAmount)*3.62/65

Note that this is a calculation that needs to have one and only one Temp_Target selected or in a chart where one of the dimensions is Temp_Target or you will end up adding sums from different currencies.

TIP:

Usually currency conversion are better done by using the associative model in Qlik and create a currency conversion table. That way the key between the currency table and the fact table where the amounts live is the Target and Base which has to be named the same for the association to work.

Date	Amount	Currency
.......	100	USD
.......	120	AED
......	5000	INR

Currency

Target

Rate

INR

USD

INR

AED

3.62

AED

INR

0,276243094

AED

USD

17,9558011

USD

INR

0,015384615

USD

AED

0,055692308

Here the Currency field will be a key field connecting the tables or associating them as it is called in Qlik terminology.

Sum( {<Target={'INR'}>} Amount*Rate )

Will very efficiently caluculate the Sum of Amounts converted into INR whichever the base currency is. You will simply change the set element to the target currency you want to have calculated.

If you have a table like this in your sheet you don't even need to have the set expression since one of the dimensions is Target:

Target	*Amount: expression is =Sum( Amount Rate )**
INR	xxxx
AED	yyy
USD	zzz

Thank You Sir,

It was the Required Answer!

And Yes, I tried the same

sum({<Target={'INR'}>}Total*CRate)

But as It was not linked in the Currency fashion instead linked with the ID pattern that's why i made a Hanging table for this where all the records are connected with the Base and the Target.

Thanking you again!
