Create filter to apply to dual axis chart

Fri, 12 Oct 2012 18:16:56 GMT

I have a set of items which I want to filter from a field in my chart and be able to present a dual axis chart. The challenge is I have to place the field in the Dimensions or it will not display any data.

For my Dimensions I have Date(Days), Field5 (but all I want is just the Date in the X-Axis)

For my line Expression I have input this as the definition: if(field5 like ('*AMT'),sum(item_COUNT),0)

For my bar Expression I have input this as the definition: if(field5 like ('*AMT'),sum(total amt)/1000)

as you can see the line dips for each day because I have both fields for dimensions.

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks,

Allen

Hi.

You don't have to add field5 as dimension if you just want to filter. Remove it from dimensions and use aggr() function in your expressions like this:

=Sum(aggr(if(field5 like ('*AMT'),sum(item_COUNT),0), field5, Days))

If you understand how the above works, you could try a bit more effective solution with set analysis:

sum({<field5={"*AMT"}>} item_COUNT)

Thanks that worked great. I will have play around with those, since I am really new at this tool.
