Expression from Case

[priyarane]

Hi Community,

I have a case statement and need to convert in Expression for ex- Sum(Sales). What is the best way to write below one

case when

NOT ((a.trading_book_type='T' and a.bis_product_category in ('CLAIM')) or a.bis_product_category in ('REPO', 'DERIVATIVE_OTC', 'CREDIT_DERIVATIVE')) and

a.method_original in ('FOU', 'ADV')

and a.asset_class_original not in ('CLAIM_SECURITIZATION','CLAIM_RESECURITIZATION','CLAIM_RERESECURITIZATION')

and ((a.asset_class_category_original != 'CLAIM_EQUITY' and a.asset_class_original not like '%EQT%') and a.asset_class_original not like 'CLAIM_CIU')

and a.securitized in ('F','U')

and a.stress_testing_scenario_id=0

and not (a.tranche_collateral_type='COLLATERALIZED' and a.collateral_bis_product in ('REP_NET_COL', 'OTC_NET_COL'))

and (a.risk_type in ('CRE', 'DIL', 'RVR') or (a.risk_type = 'STR' and a.delivery_type = 'FDE'))

and nvl(a.risk_type, 'CRE') != 'MAR'

and nvl(a.bis_product_category, 'MA_PRODUCTS') not in ('DEFAULT_FUND_CONTRIBUTION')

and nvl(a.GENERIC_REPORTING_DATE,'CURRENT_PERIOD_END') ='CURRENT_PERIOD_END' and a.bis_product_category is not null

Expression in Load script or expression in user interface?

[priyarane]

Right now, I have to update in Expression... may be in future   I will update in Script

[Peter_Cammaert]

You realise that it is never a good idea to translate SQL code as-is into QlikView expressions (if possible at all)?

Can you describe the business rule that the expression should implement?

Is it possible at script level?

You can implement this in script, with the following issues:

• your expression (as posted) is incomplete (when clause, no then/else/end)
• you will need to bring all the fields in this statement into QV
• if this statement is filtering the load from the database, you may need to fetch a larger dataset to filter in QV
