Several if-functions in formula (without sum/count etc.)

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:28:34 GMT

I want to add several if-functions in my formula and I get stuck if I want to complete the formula

E.g.:

Country, Customer, CustomerOrders

Netherlands, A, A5

Netherlands, B, B7

Netherlands, C, C8

Belgium, N, N8

Belgium, O, O5

Belgium, P, P6

Germany, A, A7

Germany, R, R7

Germany, S, S9

The goal is to show all CustomerOrders for the Netherlands for Customers A + B, and for Belgium for Customers O + P, and for Germany for the Customers R + S

I have a begin:
if(Country = Netherlands and (Customer = A or Customer = B), CustomerOrders))...but then I get stuck.

Can somebody help me with this formula?

How about

if(match(Country & Customer,'NetherlandsA','NetherlandsB','BelgiumO','BelgiumP','GermanyR','GermanyS') >0

You could also adjust your script and create a unique field which you use only in your expression.

Load:

(Country &'-'& Customer) as CountryCustumerKey

From ...

This will create:

field: CountryCustumerKey

Netherlands-A

Netherlands-B

Netherlands-C

Belgium-N

Belgium- O

Belgium-P

Germany-A

Germany-R

Germany-S

This way you can use the CountryCustumerKey-field in your IF-statement.

It is more difficult, then I described in the example, the data set is incorrect, my apologies for this.

I want a sum of all customer orders which meets the conditions. ("The goal is to show all CustomerOrders for the Netherlands for Customers A + B, and for Belgium for Customers O + P, and for Germany for the Customers R + S")

So if this is the dataset:

Netherlands, A, 5

Netherlands, B, 7

Netherlands, C, 8

Belgium, N, 8

Belgium, O, 5

Belgium, P, 6

Germany, A, 7

Germany, R, 7

Germany, S, 9

I want to see:
Customer Orders = 39

sum of (5+7+5+6+7+9)

Thnx in advance,

Create the CustomerCoutry field as Dennis suggest, then use the set expression:

sum( {$<CustomerCountry= {NetherlandsA, NetherlandsB, BeligiumO}>} CustomerOrders)

or if you don't really have a field to sum, count instead

count( {$<CustomerCountry= {NetherlandsA, NetherlandsB, BeligiumO}>} OrderId)

I didn't list all the countries but you get the idea.
