Hi, I doubt how to do this in qlik sense:
My Example Table:
Area | Sales
A 500
B 1000
C 100
I want to create a measure to calculate this:
if(Area='A', sum({<Area={"A"}>} Sales)+sum({<Area={"B"}>} Sales),sum(Sales))
In resume, it calculates the value of Sum for A and B when my Area is equal A
I know how to do something related to it but using the above function
I want to understand how could I manage to do this because any moment that I use
If (Field = "A", ...)
I can't use any other field values like B or C, it is like a "filter" that limits my calculations for only values in rows that field is equal A.
In google sheets or excel I can work on each cell per time
In cell C2 I'd write => sumifs(B:B;A:A;"A")+ sumifs(B:B;A:A;"B") or any other variation
In cell C3 and C4 I can use completely independent formulas of C2
In qlik I only can setup the whole column measure value
Yes, I can use pick(match())
but again if "matches" it also filters
if(Area='A', sum({<Area={"A"}>} Sales)+sum({<Area={"B"}>} Sales),sum(Sales))
Doesn't work
I've tried to create a variable and call the variable, it doesn't work, it calculated the sum(B Sales)=0
What I need is a way of calculating in LOAD and store this variable in a Field
like that :
Let vExp2 = 'if(Area='&chr(39)& 'Assembly' &chr(39)&',sum({<Area={"Assembly"}>}Act)+sum({<Area={"Electronics"}>} PP),sum(Sales))';
ALOS:
Load
'$(vExp2)' as vALOS
AutoGenerate 1;
But in my table, it writes the whole expression instead of evaluating it and show the value.
The output that I want
Area | Sales | meausure
A 500 1500
B 1000 1000
C 100 100
Yes, I can do in this simple case using the above
But I want to know how to manage this situation in more complexes cases
Are there other ways to manage this, without using the above function?
I think it is and challenge
I wasted more than 20 hours waiting for a solution and nothing worked properly.
