Capture a number

alexpanjhc — Mon, 29 Feb 2016 14:50:17 GMT

Hi all

here is the scenario:

I am working on a dashboard for training department and calculate the percentage of the completion rate.

However, i was asked to capture the completion rate on a daily basis, and save in QV, and every time the training file reloaded, the new completion rate will be calculate and captured, so they can see the trend.

I am not sure how to capture the completion rate in the QV and save on a daily basis. Any advise will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have done this in the past by replicating the calculations in the backend and saving them in a qvw. If calculation is very complex, you can also use a macro to do the capture for you. I haven't done the Macro before, but I have seen some that capture the front end data and save them in QVWs QVDs.

UPDATE: i meant QVDs (and not QVWs)

Can you show me a sample?

what is the back end you are referring to? are you saving on the same QV?

Thank you!

I guess it would be easier if you can share a sample or some rows of data to demonstrate.

Also, I wrote QVW above, but I meant QVD

So this is the training file.

so one person can be assigned for multiple courses and the completion rate expression is

=if(num(COUNT( {<Tab={'Training'}, GLMSAssignedTrainingLearnerCompletionStatus={'Completed'}, GLMSAssignedTrainingActiveStatus={'Active'}, GLMSAssignmentType={'Mandatory'},GLMSOverDueStatus-={'Past Due 61~90 Days','Past Due 90 Days And Over','Past Due 31~60 Days'}>} GLMSActivityID)/

COUNT( {<Tab={'Training'}, GLMSAssignedTrainingActiveStatus={'Active'}, GLMSAssignmentType={'Mandatory'},GLMSOverDueStatus-=>} TOTAL GLMSActivityID), '##.#%') >1,'N/A',

num(COUNT( {<Tab={'Training'}, GLMSAssignedTrainingLearnerCompletionStatus={'Completed'}, GLMSAssignedTrainingActiveStatus={'Active'}, GLMSAssignmentType={'Mandatory'},GLMSOverDueStatus-={'Past Due 61~90 Days','Past Due 90 Days And Over','Past Due 31~60 Days'}>} GLMSActivityID)/

COUNT( {<Tab={'Training'}, GLMSAssignedTrainingActiveStatus={'Active'}, GLMSAssignmentType={'Mandatory'},GLMSOverDueStatus-=>} TOTAL GLMSActivityID), '##.#%')

)

and then we want to save this value to a daily table (as your approach, a qvd file)

would this be enough information?

thanks Sunny!

This seems okay, but it would require a lot of time to understand the expression and then implement it in the script. I won't have that much time at work right now, but if someone doesn't come up with a better solution, I can definitely take a look at it

so i figured this out

I saved the set analysis in the variable. I put this in the open document trigger.

and in the script I first tested if I have the qvd(where I will be saving my number)file, if I do, I just concat a inline table,

if not, I will create that inline table. and store that table as a qvd file.

this will only save yesterday's number, it will save the new number in the next reload.

I hope this will help someone else.
