Compare field value with string

Hi, I have the table bellow and I need to count values of 'String'  that are <= 'Plan'. Function SubtringCount Count(String,Plan) doesn't work because will only count the Match

Is this possible in script?

@Pestaninha  Try below. I removed if condition from formula

let vFormula1 =null();
let vFormula2 =null();
let vString_Field_Name = 'String'; // define name of the field which holds String value
let vCompare_Field_with_String ='Plan'; // define field name which you need to compare with String

Data:
LOAD Doc, 
     [Doc It], 
     SubStringCount(String,'-')+1 as Count,
     String, 
     Plan
FROM
[https://community.qlik.com/t5/New-to-QlikView/Compare-field-value-with-string/td-p/1767283]
(html, utf8, UserAgent is 'Mozilla/5.0', embedded labels, table is @1);

Max_Count:
LOAD max(Count) as Max_Count;
LOAD FieldValue('Count',RecNo()) as Count
AutoGenerate FieldValueCount('Count');

let vMax_Count = Peek('Max_Count',0,'Max_Count');

DROP Table Max_Count;

for i=1 to $(vMax_Count)

let vFormula1 = 'rangesum(';

let vFormula2 = '$(vFormula2)' & 'subfield($(vString_Field_Name),'&chr(39)&'-'&chr(39)&',$(i))<=$(vCompare_Field_with_String),';

NEXT 

let vFormula = '$(vFormula1)' & mid('$(vFormula2)',1,len('$(vFormula2)')-1) & ') *-1';

Final:
LOAD *,
     $(vFormula) as Results
Resident Data;

DROP Table Data;

let vFormula = null();
let vFormula1 = null();
let vFormula2 = null();

Thanks Taoufiq , the problem with this is that generates a record for every comparison that does against the sub field generating hundreds of thousands of lines.  Not feasible when you have big tables

I'm afraid not , for this example the first load generates 400 lines out of a 20 line table.

Many thanks anyway

@Pestaninha  try below approach without increasing your input data

 

let vFormula1 =null();
let vFormula2 =null();
let vString_Field_Name = 'String'; // define name of the field which holds String value
let vCompare_Field_with_String ='Plan'; // define field name which you need to compare with String

Data:
LOAD Doc, 
     [Doc It], 
     SubStringCount(String,'-')+1 as Count,
     String, 
     Plan
FROM Table;

Max_Count:
LOAD max(Count) as Max_Count;
LOAD FieldValue('Count',RecNo()) as Count
AutoGenerate FieldValueCount('Count');

let vMax_Count = Peek('Max_Count',0,'Max_Count');

DROP Table Max_Count;

for i=1 to $(vMax_Count)

let vFormula1 = 'rangesum(';

let vFormula2 = '$(vFormula2)' & 'if(subfield($(vString_Field_Name),'&chr(39)&'-'&chr(39)&',$(i))<=$(vCompare_Field_with_String),1,0),';

NEXT 

let vFormula = '$(vFormula1)' & mid('$(vFormula2)',1,len('$(vFormula2)')-1) & ')';

Final:
LOAD *,
     $(vFormula) as Results
Resident Data;

DROP Table Data;

let vFormula = null();
let vFormula1 = null();
let vFormula2 = null();
