How to Pass Condition values into ValueList()

[vidyasagar159]

Hi All,

How to achieve the below expression in a right way.

Expression:

Valuelist('Apple','Bannana','Carrot',if(wildmatch([fruits],'*G*'),[fruits]))

Thanks,

Please check this

'if statement' within Valuelist

where are you using this and what is the exact requirement of the below expression? there may be a easy way out.

if you are using it in the dimension try this

in the script

load * inline [

dim

1

2

3

4

];

in the dimension

pick(dim,'Apple','Bannana','Carrot',if(wildmatch([fruits],'*G*'),[fruits]))

Hi Pradosh,

With the expression, i was able to achieve the below result set.

Table:

Product	Sales Amount	Actual Amount	Risk Value	Return Value
A	60	5	20	15
B	50	100	25	25
C	70	70	55	35
D	20	35	15	30
E	10	25	17	15
F	5	30	20	5

Dimension:

=ValueList('AUM','Flow')

Measure:

if(ValueList('AUM','Flow') =

'AUM', Avg({<Product={"=rank(sum([Sales Amount]),Product)<=3"}>}[Risk Value]),

if(ValueList('AUM','Flow') =

'Flow',Avg({<Product={"=rank(sum([Actual Amount]),Product)<=3"}>}[Risk Value])

))

Result:

Dimension	Risk Vlaue
Average TOP 3 Products by Sales Amount	33.33
Average TOP 3 Products by Actual Amount	31.66

Here is it trick:

Now I want to show my own product in the result table.

Example:

Dimension	Risk Vlaue
Average TOP 3 Products by Sales Amount	33.33
Average TOP 3 Products by Actual Amount	31.66
E	17

Thanks,

Hi,

ValueList() only accepts discrete values, so you cannot use If inside Valuelist(). Try fixing this on data model level by creating a separate table linked to your data which will contain those "fruits" you need and will connect to respective values in your data model.

Hope this helps.

Is this what you are looking for?

[pradosh_thakur · Accepted solution]

script change

load * inline [

dim

1

2

3

];

dimension

=pick(dim,'Average TOP 3 Products by Sales Amount','Average TOP 3 Products by Actual Amount',if(wildmatch(Product,'*E*'),Product))

expression

PICK(dim, Avg({<Product={"=rank(sum([Sales Amount]),Product)<=3"}>}[Risk Value]),Avg({<Product={"=rank(sum([Actual Amount]),Product)<=3"}>}[Risk Value]),SUM([Risk Value])
)

Hi All,

I have found the solution. Thanks to everyone and special thanks to Juraj for giving me this idea.

Step1: Created Inline Table with column names DimID, DIM values

Step2: Created Resident with only the products which I was interested in.

for example:

[Performance Statistics]:

load if(WildMatch("Furits",'*E*'),"Product ID") as Dim,if(WildMatch("Fruits",'*E*'),"Product Name") as DimValue Resident [Fruits_Table];

Step3: Concatenated Resident with Inline table.

Now that I have my table ready. I used the following expression to achieve my requirement.

Dimensions:

=if([Product ID]=Dim,DimValue,

if(Dim=1,DimValue,

if(Dim=2,DimValue,

if(Dim=3,DimValue

))))

Measures:

if(Dim=1 , Avg({<[Product ID]={"=rank(sum([Sales Amount]),[Product ID])<=10"}>}[Risk Value]),

if(Dim=2 , Avg({<[Product ID]={"=rank(sum([Actual Amount]),[Product ID])<=10"}>}[Risk Value]),

if(Dim=3 , Avg({<[Product ID]={"=rank(-sum([Actual Amount]),[Product ID])<=10"}>}[Risk Value]),

([Risk Value])

)

))

Result:

Dimension	Risk Value
Average TOP 3 Products by Sales Amount	33.33
Average TOP 3 Products by Actual Amount	31.66
E	17

Your way is one way of achieving it my friend. But if you use pick() with no nested if it will be optimized and faster as well.

Good that you found a solution.

Thanks, Pradosh.

Your logic is much better than mine in both performances and the expression building.Mine has some performance issues.

Thanks,
