Alternate States with Set Analysis

[#1]

Hello,

I created and assigned "State 1" on one of my textbox objects. Within this object, I have set analysis: sum({$<[Receipt Type]={'Follow-up Receipt'}>} [Case Count]). But the result wasn't correct. How I can modify it?

Thanks,

Becky

But you also assigned your expression inherited state by adding the $ (dollar sign)... try this:

Sum({<[Receipt Type]={'Follow-up Receipt'}>} [Case Count])

Oh, got it.

I thought I should do =Sum({[State1]<[Receipt Type]='Follow-up Receipt'>} [Case Count]) ..

Thanks Sunny!

If you object is in State1, you don't have to specify it (you can, but you don't have to). But specifying $ is problematic, because then you are telling the expression to ignore object's state and react to inherited state

Oh, I see. Really helpful Sunny!

So I noticed one thing. I assigned "year" object and textbox objects in State1. So when I choose the year in my current tab, it won't effect the result in other tabs. However, there is no value shows up in the "Current Selections" box. Do you know why?

Btw, I am not sure why I can't find "correct" answer option...This is the first I cann't find it.

Best,

Becky

Well as long as you want your expression to be in the same state as your object, you don't need to add anything there. If you want the expression to behave to another state, or if you want it to be react to multiple states, then you need to specify the state.

Have you checked if you current selection box is in the same state as the state where you are making selection in the year field?

oh! That's why!! Thank you ha!

There is no "Correct Answer" button shows up. It only happened today. Very weird. I will try to log out and log in to see.

Could be the browser issue. Not entirely sure

I switched to another browser, but it shows the same. See the little icon in front of my post is different than others.
