Indirect Dimension Selection

[joey_lutes]

I'm in the process of building a dashboard report that works nearly only with dimensions in Qlik Sense 2.2.3.

Through the process, I need the ability to display indirect selections within a straight table of data.  Here is simplified example:

Service          Site          SiteType

A                    1                Aux

A                    3                Key

B                    2                Aux  

B                    3                Key

C                    1                Aux

C                    6                Aux

C                    7                Key

Suffice to say that Service A is available at Sites 1 and 3 etc. 

My intent would be to have a user select a (multiple) Site - Site 1.

As Site one is selected, possible services are A and C.

I need to show that Indirectly, Sites 1, 3, 6 and 7 are tied to those services.

Furthermore, for services A and C, I want to identify the Key site associated with each (in this case, sites 3 and 7 respectively).

I believe from what I've gleaned from Indirect Record Selection

that this is possible using {p}, though my attempts thus far have failed.

Thoughts/ideas?

Thank you

1st part of the question:

=Concat({<Site = , Service = p(Service)>} Site)

[sunny_talwar · Accepted solution]

1st Requirement

Concat(distinct {<Site = , Service = p(Service)>} Site, ', ')

2nd Requirement

Concat(distinct {<Site = , Service = p(Service), SiteType = {'Key'}>} Site, ', ')

This is fantastic, Sunny, THANK YOU!  I'm still playing with iterations of it.

So, how would I add a count to them (in a separate KPI or something)  I tried wrapping the Concat statement in a Count, but it hates that. 

So for example - in the first requirement, the count would be 5.

Thanks again.

I'm an idiot - I figured it out.

Thank you again - this has been SO helpful!!

[sunny_talwar]

All you need is to replace Concat with Count and remove the comma separator at the end to get the count

1st Requirement

Count(distinct {<Site = , Service = p(Service)>} Site)

2nd Requirement

Count(distinct {<Site = , Service = p(Service), SiteType = {'Key'}>} Site)

No problem at all

Hi Sunny,

One more question for you (I think/hope?!)

Let's say I wanted to list these individually in a table - not concatenated via ', '

So essentially the result would look like:

<site selected;  1>

Service          Associated Site

A                           1

A                           3

C                           1

C                           6

C                           7

Would the formula be different, or is there a different strategy that would be used?

Thank you!

[sunny_talwar]

May be use [Associated Site] as a dimension and use Only({<Site = , Service = p(Service)>} Service) as your expression

[joey_lutes]

As [Associated site] is derived from a calculated expression, and I seem to be unable to add an expression as a dimension, that's returning 'Invalid Dimension'

Thoughts?
