Need help in a Expression

Thu, 21 Feb 2013 06:16:30 GMT

Hello Friends,

Trying to create a pivot table with two dimentions Actor, Movies and the expression is as followed

=If(Title='Movies' and Actor='Tom',Sum({<CM={'Cinema'}>}Collection)), which is working fine but

my requirement is, I would like to see all Actors like {*}, not only for the actor 'Tom.

As I don't know how to write a expression.

Could you please help me on this.

Regards

Chriss

Hi,

what happens if you dont include that filter at all.

=If(Title='Movies' ,Sum({<CM={'Cinema'}>}Collection))

Thanks

Hello Umesh,

Thanks for your reply,

The Title Movies is a hard coded using INLINE funtion and Actor is a field name in a table, the problem is when I add the Actor in a dimention.

No values is shown, that is my problem, If I try like this as in the below

=If(Title='Movies' and Actor='Tom',Sum({<CM={'Movies'}>}Collection)), I can achieve it but only for Actor Tom,

I would like to show all Actors.

Hope I am clear.

Regards

Chriss

Try below code

Sum({<CM={'Cinema'},

Actor={*},Title={'Movies'}>}Collection))

if all movies

Sum({<CM={'Cinema'},

Actor={*},Title={*}>}Collection))

hope this helps

Hello Luminary Sahatwar,

Thanks for your reply, I can do this if I have only one expression, but I need to use diffently like

=If(Title='Movies' and Actor='Tom',Sum({<CM={'Movies'}>}Collection)),

if(Title='Drama' and Actor={*}, Sum({<CM={'Drama'}>}AuditoCollecion)),

if(Title='Dance' and Actor={*}, Sum({<CM={'Drama'}>}TheatreCollection)),..... up to n.

How to do this.

Regards

Chriss
