hi
I have an expression which i am not able to understand
please help.
The expression is mentioned below:
=sum({$<[Fiscal Quarter Name]>} [Visit Count])
Fiscal Quarter Name Contains: Visit Count Contains:
Q1FY2013 1
Q2FY2013 2
Q3FY2013 3
Q4FY2013 4
what does $ and <> means
they are counting the sum of visit count based on the current selection of Fiscal Quarter Name.
$ is to refer the current selection and Fiscal Quarter Name is the filed
<> is the start of set analysis that to choose a value from the particular set
Hi,
I think the attached document will help you to understand how works Set Analysis.

Hi Deepak,
your expression is summing the field [Visit Count].
The expression is being further adjusted by set analysis.
{$<[Fiscal Quarter Name]>}
The $ element tells the sum to respect current selections. Between the <> is any modifier beyond this that should be adhered to. In this case any selection in [Fiscal Quarter Name] is being disregarded.
So in basic terms, you are telling QV to sum [Visit Count], using the current selection but ignore any selection made in [Fiscal Quarter Name].
Have a look here maybe for more info on set analysis

Hope that helps
