P() set analysis with maxstring

HI All,

I've got a pivot table with BU_ID and BU_ID1 (unrelated but the same) as dimensions. BU_ID1 is a floating single field table. I want to show the count of %UC_ID where it exists in BU_ID but ALSO in another BU_ID.

I am using this expression:

=count( distinct {<

%UC_ID = P({<BU_ID={'$(=maxstring(BU_ID1))'}>}%UC_ID)

>} %UC_ID

the idea being that the P() element returns all possible %UC_ID's in the relevant BU_ID1

This, as you can see, doesn't work but just returns the same across all values of BU_ID1

If I replace the 'maxstring' part with a hardcoded BU eg. 'GI' then it returns what I would expect (but obviously just for that single BU)

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Set analysis doesn't get evaluated row-wise of the chart but once for the chart. You may try without set analysis like:

=count( distinct If(%UC_ID = BU_ID1, %UC_ID ))

Thanks - that makes sense. I think I'll have to split them out into expressions.
