Question regarding set analysis

[#1]

Hello,

I'm very new to set analysis and have a quick question.

I was wondering what is the difference between '1' and '$' when set modifier are given as identical.

for example:

Sum({1<Year={'2013'}>}Sales)

Sum({$<Year={'2013'}>}Sales)

Based on my test, above returns the same results.

If both gives the same result, in which case do i need to use 'Sum({1<Year={'2013'}>}Sales)' rather than 'Sum({$<Year={'2013'}>}Sales)' ?

Thanks.

Difference between $ and 1 will be visible once you will make selections. With  1 in your expression, any selection made won't change the result of the expression, but $ will filter out the selections and give you the results for only those elemets selected by the user.
