How to count new /lost entities between two periods

Anonymous — Wed, 19 Nov 2014 17:32:30 GMT

Hello!

I have a question: hope someone can find a solution!

Let consider the following table:

Year	Customer
2012	A
2012	B
2012	C
2012	D
2013	A
2013	B
2013	E
2013	F
2013	G
2014	A
2014	B
2014	E
2014	H
2014	I
2014	L
2014	M

My application has a listbox for Year.

I wuold like to count (in 3 simple text boxes):

1- N° of customer in the selected year;

2- N° of new customer in the selected year respect to previous year;

3- N° of "lost" customer in the selected year respect to previous year.

Examples:

Selection of Year 2013:

1- N°=4

2- N°=3

3- N°=2

Selection of Year 2014:

1- N°=7

2- N°=4

3-N°=2

I tried to use AGGR function without success.

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

A new question regarding the same configuration.

Let's suppose we have a straight table with Customers and their Orders for current and previous year.

I would like to select all New Customers or all Lost Customers by clicking on a button: the table must update coherently.

So, I should create two buttons with a Trigger for:

-selecting all new customers: in this way orders for previous year will be null and there should not be any problems;

-selecting all lost customers: in this way I think that there is a problem because of the current selection of the year... if they are lost, they won't appear at all.

Is there any solutions?

Thank you!

Elena

You can use the Conditional option to show/hide expressions in a straight table as needed. See attached qvw.

Thank you Gysbert!

I understand that it's not possible to make a direct selection of these two groups in order to get filters in other listboxes which may be insert in a more complex scenario.

Thanks!
