If And. Help to unit them

Hi guys!

I'm trying to insert code into KPI Panel:

if([New-old_client] = 'Old' and [New-old_client] = 'New', '1')

[New-old_client] is being chosen usin Filter Panel

But I see just MINUS symbol (pic attached)

The original code is

if(SUM_CHANNEL1 = '1',
if([New-old_client] = '2', Count(Client_ID)/2,
if([New-old_client] = '1', Count(Client_ID)/3,
if([New-old_client] = '2' and [New-old_client] = '1', Count(Client_ID)/5))))

So as u can see, I'm trying to check 3 conditions, and 1st and 2nd checks are work, but this 3rd one doesn't, so that and the top command as well.

Please help to figure out, what should I do.

Thanks!)

Well, obviously your if-condition is always FALSE:

[New-old_client] = 'Old' and [New-old_client] = 'New'

Because, in a specific record, [New-old_client] cannot be BOTH 'Old' and 'New'.

So you need to create an aggregation. For example, if the data model allows [Client_ID] to have multiple values of [New-old_client], then it could make sense to test for [Client_ID]s that have both 'Old' and 'New'. I.e. a test that runs over multiple records. That can be achieved by e.g.

Count({<[Client_ID]=P({<[New-old_client]={New}>} [Client_ID])*P({<[New-old_client]={Old}>} [Client_ID])>} [Client_ID])

where the two P() functions return New and Old, respectively, and then are intersected.

Hello, Henric!

Thanks a lot for your answer.

No, the value from [Client_ID] has just one condition - 'Old' or 'New'.

And I need to make a code that will explane to my KPI Panel that the Filter Panel selected both values 'Old' and 'New'.

Or, I can explain that way:

I have a field [Client_ID] with unic parameters;

I have Filter with field [New-old_client] with 'New' and 'Old' parameters that match to each Client (New OR Old);

I have a KPI Panel that has to show me a count of New Clients, Old Clients, or all togather)

Could you please help me to realize this task?

I am not sure I understand... Should the KPI object show New Clients, Old Clients, or all New+Old Clients, depending on your selection in the filter with field [New-old_client]?

If so, all you need to have in your KPI object to show the count is
Count(Client_ID)
The selection of clients happens automatically.

In your original code, you divide by 2, 3 and 5. If you want to do this, you can achieve it by dividing with a relevant number, like
Count(Client_ID)/If(Count(distinct [New-old_client])>1,5,1+Match([New-old_client],'New','Old'))
or something similar.

Hello Henric,

Thanks again for your answers))

But as per I'm very very new newbie, I can't get what means the 2nd part of your code XD

If(Count(distinct [New-old_client])>1,5,1+Match([New-old_client],'New','Old'))

What means ">1,5,1+Match...?

Sorry for my stupid questions, but I'm only trying to learn this system)))

In your original code you divide the Count(Client_ID) with 2, 3 or 5. This expression just generates these numbers:

If(
   Count(distinct [New-old_client])>1, 5,          // If the number of clients is > 1 Then 5
   1+Match([New-old_client],                                 // Else ...
      'New',             // If the clients is 'New' Then 1 (plus the 1 that is before 'Match') = 2
      'Old'               // If the clients is 'Old' Then 2 (plus the 1 that is before 'Match') = 3
   )
)

Thanks so much again, Henric)

But '2', '3' and '5' numbers can be can be changed anytime)

Will this code work with such conditions?))

No, this is a static definition, just to show that it is possible to have a calculated denominator. If you want to assign these numbers in a different way, you can do so.
