Set analysis in a dimension

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:43:27 GMT

Hi all,

This is my data set (e.g.)

Product, Seller

AB_12, A

AB_13, B

AB_14, C

BB_11, D

BB_12, E

BB_13, F

CC_12, G

DD_12, H

I'd like to build a sales table with a dimension that only displays those Sellers that sold a product starting with "AB*" and "BB*"

I get the set analysis part of it ... {<Product= {"AB*", "BB*"}>} but get an error when trying to display only relevant Sellers.

How can I build this dimension to show only relevant Sellers?

Many thanks!

Hi,

try the expression if(left(Product,2) = 'AB' OR left(Product,2) = 'BB', Seller) in your dimension and the e.g. Sum(Sales).

You can do it in the expression with your Set Analysis.

In both cases you have to uncheck "show zero values" for the dimension.
