Let statement to create a group of data

Hi, 

 

Does anyone know if (and if I can, how) I can create a group of Data using Let statment?

The situation is as follows: We have a group of suppliers, what we buy to each supplier is sold in different products, I want to create a group named as the product we sold with the sum data of different suppliers. 

 

Example: 

When we buy the services from suppliers A, B, C & D we sell to our customer Porduct A. In our Data base we only have info from the supplier, I want to create a group which summarized the info for suppliers A, B, C & D named Product A. So when I select "Product A" I can sum the cost from all of them and visualize it as Product A costs. 

 

I know that if I create  a variable SET vProductA= 'SupplierA', 'SupplierB', 'SupplierC', 'SupplierD';

I can apply a set analysis on my expression sum({< supplier_name = vProductA>} cost_of_production)

and I will have (for instance)  four lines: Cost supplier A, Cost supplier B, Cost supplier C & Cost supplier D.

Anyway, what I need is to have one line showing (something like): "Cost of product sold A"

 

Thanks!

Hi Rcaned,

I don't think what you are trying to do will work. You can create an inline table with the list of your suppliers and a field Product A for each supplier.

Use an ApplyMap to map this to your data and you can have the possibility to select 'Product A'.
