Counting number of rows with multiple conditions

Dear Qlikview Experts,

My data model was pasted in below:

Capture.PNG

How can I count the correct number of rows if my 'Type' field is = DST or CST and my 'Step1 - Step4' fields doesn't contain any numbers?

So my desired outcome would be 3 rows?

Thank you for your time in advance!

Best Regards

In the back end

=Count({<Type = {'CST', 'DST'}>} If(Len(Step1) or Len(Step2) or Len(Step3) or Len(Step4), Null(), Type))

But a better approach is to create a flag field in the load script

LOAD...

     If(Len(Step1) or Len(Step2) or Len(Step3) or Len(Step4), 0, 1) as FlagEmpty,

     ...


And then use expression

=Count({<Type = {'CST', 'DST'}, FlagEmpty = {0}>} Type)

At the back-end or UI?

Dear Tresesco B,

It was at UI.

My current expression looks like this (Where ProductNumber, Date & Time are my other fields):

count(aggr(if(Rangesum(if(Len(Step1)=0,1),if(Len(Step2)=0,1),if(Len(Step3)=0,1),if(Len(Step4)=0,1),if(Type='DST',1))=5,1),ProductNumber,Date,Time))

However, I was facing problems in adding 'or' into my 'Type' field. Is there any suggestions?

If ProductNumber is an identifying* field for the table, then a pure set analysis expression could be

=Count({<Type = {'CST', 'DST'}, ProductNumber = {"$(=(Len(Step1) or Len(Step2) or Len(Step3) or Len(Step4)) = 0)"} Step)


* a field whose values uniquely identify a row in the table, like a primary key or unique index in SQL.

You can create a straight chart at UI and set Type as Dimension and below as expression:

Or in a text box as you required,


sum(if( (Type ='DST' or Type=CST') and len(trim(Step4))=0 and len(trim(Step3))=0,1,0))

I am trying to count with two conditions and getting results based only on the first condition.

=Count( DISTINCT {<A-={"DC"}>} {<B-={"KC"}>} A&'|'&B)

 

Can you help with this?

I want OR operator between the two conditions.
