How to filter the display but not the calculations?

Hi Qlik Community,

For my dashboard I would like to display the five most recent rows of a larger data set. However, the content of other fields in this table is depending on previous rows that changes when I filter on date. The rows that are filtered are hereby not taken into account in the calcutations anymore. For example, when I filter the five most recent rows in the table:

 

Date

Measure

1 January

1

2 January

2

3 January

3

4 January

4

5 January

5

6 January

6

7 January

7

8 January

8

9 January

9

10 January

10

11 January

11

12 January

12

13 January

13

 

I get:

Date

Measure

9 January

1

10 January

2

11 January

3

12 January

4

13 January

5

 

whereas the desired outcome is:

Date

Measure

9 January

9

10 January

10

11 January

11

12 January

12

13 January

13

 

What do I need to do to get the third table?

Thank you in advance for your suggestions,

Arno van Akkeren

Thank you for your reply. I have this issue with several columns. For example:

If( Sum(Measure) > Above(Sum(Measure),1)
AND Above(Sum(Measure),1) > Above(Sum(Measure),2)
AND Above(Sum(Measure),2) > Above(Sum(Measure),3)
AND Above(Sum(Measure),3) > Above(Sum(Measure),4)
AND Above(Sum(Measure),4) > Above(Sum(Measure),5)
AND Above(Sum(Measure),5) > Above(Sum(Measure),6)
, '1'
, '0')

In this example a data set of at least seven days is required. I want to display the last five days. However, I want the days in prior to the five day period to be part of the calculation. Using the logic above in the column Calculation:

DateMeasureCalculation
1 January10
2 January20
3 January30
4 January40
5 January50
6 January60
7 January71
8 January81
9 January91
10 January101
11 January111
12 January121
13 January131

 

The desired result is:

DateCalculation
9 January1
10 January1
11 January1
12 January1
13 January1

 

The result I get:

DateCalculation
9 January0
10 January0
11 January0
12 January0
13 January0

Thank you for your reply.

I'm not sure what you mean with 'from script itself'. I want to display the last five rows in the table that I get when I run the code.

The unique key consists of the fields MeasureName and Date. I didn't mention the column MeasureName in the example because I didn't think it was relevant.

Create table with Dimension Date  below expression

= if(ceil(((Count(total Date)-5)+1)/RowNo(total))=1,1,0)

Note:

If you want to show last 7 change the number highlighted in red to 7. Also make sure that the Date is sorted in ascending order. Go to chart properties->Add-on-> Uncheck 'Include suppress zero' value
