expression help

hi all,

I have a straight table with an expression ..

IF(iv_fiscal_year = $(vCurrentYearFiscal),$(vTargetSum_Volume))

i have supress null values ticked on a dimension..

IF(it_target_type='Volume',it_target_type)

and i get a total figure on the expression of

9182

I want this to be displayed in a text box too but when i add the expression into a text box i get a value of

9582

this is because it is also counting the NULL values too.

is there a way i can exclude null values in the next box also so i get the correct value of 9182?

I think all i need to do is combine the 2 expressions above but not sure how..

Thanks

Hi,

Assuming you are counting/summing up values, you could use Null() function in the expression to eliminate null values. This would even work with the text box.

It could be something like this

=count(if(Dimesnion<>'',Value)) or =count(if(Dimesnion<>Null(),Value))

Is that what you are looking for?

-Regards,

Khaled.

Hi,

no, i think i originally asked the wrong question..

i want to encorporate the 2 expressions together..

IF(iv_fiscal_year = $(vCurrentYearFiscal),$(vTargetSum_Volume))

and

IF(it_target_type='Volume',it_target_type)

I have tried

IF(

it_target_type='Volume',iv_fiscal_year = $(vCurrentYearFiscal),$(vTargetSum_Volume))

but i get the same value as just using the first expression on its own.
