Using Set Analysis to Exclude filters

[Mdjenkins]

Good morning guys. 

I am using qlik sense and I have an issue preventing filters from effecting values.

I have four filters.

Selection1, Selection2, Selection3, and Control4 (They are all dimension feilds)

I have a measure called  MeasureA.  MeasureA is represented as SUM(distinct MeasureA)

When I make a selection to Control 4 I want Measure A filtered.

When I make a Selection to 1,2, or 3, I do NOT want MeasureA to be filtered.

I also don't want Selection 1,2, or 3 to filter Control4.

How do I accomplish this

So, then this is not about KPI... you can do this by amending your data or using alternate state. For more help please provide a sample so that we can see what you already have and guide you in the right direction.

I may be missing some complexity here, but it sounds like you just want to ignore selections in 1,2,3?

SUM({<Control1=, Control2=, Control3=>}distinct MeasureA)

I'd suggest setting up a copy of Control4 as a new field in an island table and present it to the user as the filter. 

The expression would be something like:

Sum(DISTINCT {<Control4 = p(NewField),Selection1, Selection2, Selection3>} MeasureA)

Yes the answer to this situation is to use Altered States. Thanks for your help.
