Set analysis -variable usage-for date selection.

Hi Experts,

I need to show a pivot table chart which should appear as below.

Channel	Process Name	Sales
Email	Process ABC	15 M
Facebook	Process XYZ	25 M
Postal Mail	Process QWE	5 M

I have source file in the form of two tables.

Table 1 appears as follows:

Order Key	Order Date	Sales
1	1/2/2015	12 M
2	2/4/2015	2 M
3	2/6/2015	0.5 M

Table 2 appears as follows:

Process Key	Process Name	Process Start Date	Process End Date
1 P	Process ABC	1/1/2015	28/2/2015
2 P	Process XYZ	1/4/2015	24/4/2015
3 P	Process QWE	1/6/2015	27/6/2015

In my requirement, there is a necessity to keep both the calendars independent.

Now, I need to select the order dates of Table1 which falls under the corresponding process date range in the Table 2. Finally I need to show the respective total sales.

In expression we have something like below.

=Sum( {<$(Variable1),$(Variable2),OrderKey=p({<$(=vProcesssDateCheck)>})>} Sales)

where vProcesssDateCheck='[Order Date]={">=$(=([Process Start Date]))<=$(=([Process End Date]))"}'

It works fine when a particular Process Name is selected. But as a whole the Process date Range is not filtered by the variable for each record, showing '0' for Sales.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Barathiraja

You are trying to do a row by row calculation. This cannot easily be done using set expressions, as they are evaluated once for the chart and not once per row.

I suggest you read this article which will explain how you can do what you require: Canonical Date
