Formula in a field

Hi, I am trying to do something I thought would be easy:

I have Accounts and Values. For some accounts, I want to show sum(Values). For others, I have some other calculation. I thought I could add those in an Excel file and load them such as:

Account IDCalculation
A100sum(Values)
A200avg(Values)
A300total(Values)

Now, in my tablebox, I have Account ID as a dimension and Calculation as an Expression. This shows me the text entered in Calculation. Is there a way to have it interpreted the formula?

Thanks and regards

It's not possible to do. It is breaking some chart concepts. Think about how QV should calculate a total result for the Calculation column if you check Expression Total. You should have just one explicit formula. In your case I would use IF, like this:


if([Account ID] = 'A100', sum(Values),
if([Account ID] = 'A200', avg(Values), sum(total Values)))
