Having some trouble with this expression

=sum(if(min([Created on])=min([Picking date]), count(DISTINCT(DOC_NUMBER)), NetWorkDays(min(date([Created on])), min(date([Picking date])))))

This does not work correctly, however when I take out the 'sum' function, the expression is correct on line level but the total is wrong...

Im confused...

Thanks

You can't embed an aggregation function like min() into another aggregation function like sum() without using advanced aggregation.

Do you want something like sum of rows (in a pivot table? in a straight table, there is also a total mode to do so)?

Then try something like

=sum(

aggr(

if(min([Created on])=min([Picking date]), count(DISTINCT(DOC_NUMBER)), NetWorkDays(min(date([Created on])), min(date([Picking date]))))

,YourChartDimensionsListedHere)

)

See also sum-of-rows in pivot tables in the Help.

That is correct, I need to sum rows in a pivot table...

In your expression, what needs to go into the 'YourChartDimensionsListedHere'

Thanks

Your charts dimensions, comma separated (note: aggr() will not take any calculated dimensions, so you can use only field names).

For example, if you are using Client and Store field names as dimensions:

=sum(

aggr(

if(min([Created on])=min([Picking date]), count(DISTINCT(DOC_NUMBER)), NetWorkDays(min(date([Created on])), min(date([Picking date]))))

,Client, Store)

)

Please check also the Help for more details.
