Single quote in a count expression

[#1]

Hi,

I'm new to QlikView and I need help.

I want to count some products agreeing a condition with a single quote.

Example :

     "count({$ <CONTRACT={'Négociation en cours en vue d'un contrat'}> } DISTINCT PRODUCT)"

This : "count({$ <CONTRACT={'Négociation en cours en vue d'& chr(39) &'un contrat'}> } DISTINCT PRODUCT)" doesn't work.

Any idea ?

Thanks !

Hi,

At a first glance, what I do is to double quote the whole name:

Count({< CONTRACT = {"Négociation en cours en vue d'un contrat"} >} DISTINCT PRODUCT)

Better off if you can create a numeric key for each contract in the load script, so you will never need to use single or double quotes irrespective the value of the field, because you will always use the numeric field in the set analysis. This will perform much better, too.

Hope that helps.

hope this

count({$ <CONTRACT={$(='Négociation en cours en vue d'& chr(39) &'un contrat')}>}PRODUCT)

or

count({$ <CONTRACT={"$(='Négociation en cours en vue d'& chr(39) &'un contrat')"}>}PRODUCT)
