How to change expression in straight table?


Hi,

I have data in excel as below

Date                          ID               outcome             share           process

23/03/2014              4242              Failed                Fail              Fail

I created a straight table to show no of fail wit the below expression

count({<Result={'Failed'}>}Distinct ID)

but in the table it is not showing the ID why because in excel there are two instances as Failed and Fail. Can anyone suggest me please how to change the above expression to include both Failed and Fail. I tried like below but it is not working

count({<Result={'Failed','Fail'}>}Distinct ID)

Thanks.

Where is your Result field as you have explained inyour original post?

This should work if 'Result' is your field and not 'outcome'.

You can also try a search in your set expression:

count({<Result={"Fail*"}>}Distinct ID)

I don't see a field called Result. Perhaps you mean outcome instead: count({<outcome={'Fail*'}>}Distinct ID)

Thanks. The Result is from cross table. actually I used a cross table

TblData:

CrossTable(Test,Result,3)

LOAD

Date                                                 

     ID ,                                                           

     Outcome,

     [share],

     [Process]

   

FROM

[Report.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet);

Can you upload sample qvw along with xlsx file?

Since you made a cross table, your "Test" column I think will contain "Share" and "Process", and then Result will contain "Fail" or "Failed". So maybe try:


count({<Test = {'Share'}, Result={'Fail*'}>}Distinct ID)


or


count({<Test = {'Process'}, Result={'Fail*'}>}Distinct ID)

I recommend handle this in scripts. Create a bit flag "flg_failed" with value '0' and '1'  using apply-map .

1 for failed or fail

0 for anything else

Expression in Chart should be :  sum(flg_failed)

Aggregation is faster then Count or set-analysis

Below expression should work,

Count ({<Result={"*Fail*"}>} DISTINCT ID)


You can even align "Fail", "Failed" etc to unique data "Fail" in backend script and use below expression.


Count ({<Result={"Fail"}>} DISTINCT ID)
