Error in set modifier

Dear Community

I am missing something in this syntax and cannot see where the problem is:

=sum({<Type={'TM 1','JE Forecast','QC Releases','Production Plan'},Brand={$(vBrand)}>}Units)/1000

 

The wizard keep showing:  Error is set modifier  ad hoc list :',' or ')' expected

Please advise

The issue could lie in your variable vBrand definition. Could you share the definition?

Hi

The Definition is:

 

=GetFieldSelections(Brand)

Change the definition to:

=chr(39)&GetFieldSelections(Brand, chr(39)&','& chr(39)) &chr(39)

 

and try..

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion but that did not render any output.

 

I noted the following:"

In the bottom part on the expression editor the formula is picking up my brand and populating it into the syntax

 

Please see attached screenshot

With proper variable definition, your brand selected value should have been enclosed by quotes, and that is missing I can see. Could you share your sample app?

Hi,

only by sharing the variable def and the sample data, we can assure you.

As i guess, you have used the input variable object and added the Vbrand variable in the input object.

In this case , u dont have to have $ sign.

you can directly call the variable as 

(sum({<Type={'TM 1','JE Forecast','QC Releases','Production Plan'},Brand={vBrand}>}Units)/1000)

Dear Community

 

Thanks for help. I have managed to find solution based on your guidance:

Here is the syntax that created the correct output

=(sum({<Type={'TM 1','JE Forecast','QC Releases','Production Plan'},Brand={'$(vBrand)'}>}Units)/1000)

 

I included the single quote between the Curly brackets in brand
