How to combine values from the same column into one condition

[#1]

Hello all,

I've been working in QlikView for a while now. I have a question about a certain column I've been working with. I have a table called 'Jobs' that counts all the jobs my company's won for our client. One of the columns is Status. Status has three possible values: Lost, Won, and Inactive.

I've been asked to create a bar chart that measures Won jobs vs the other two possible values (Lost and Inactive) by Salesperson. Can anyone help me with an expression I can use for this? I need to somehow combine Lost and Inactive Jobs into one bar.

The expression would be something like

NumericCount(Status, if(Status === 'Lost' OR Status === 'Inactive), 'Other Jobs', 'Won Jobs')

but it doesn't seem to be working.

You can try using a calculated dimension:

If(Status = 'Won', 'Won Jobs', 'Other Jobs')

Thanks Sunny. But how can I implement this if I wanted to count the number of jobs?

I tried TextCount(If(Status = 'Won', 'Won Jobs', 'Other Jobs')), and this didn't work. Any pointers for modifying it to work with TextCount?

Just use Count(Status) as your expression and If(Status = 'Won', 'Won Jobs', 'Other Jobs') as your dimension

This way?

Yes, just like this! But how did you get this chart to pop up? What was the expression that you used?

Please see attached. !

Expressions Used:

=Aggr(Count({$<Status={'Won'}>}Job),SalesPerson) - 'Won ' Jobs Count

=Aggr(Count({$<Status={'*'}-{'Won'}>}Job),SalesPerson) - 'Rest' Jobs Count

I prefer stalwar1 solution as simple to understand.

Open Bar chart properties. Right click on the chart > Properties.

1. Just in Calculated dimension write the expression:

If(Status = 'Won', 'Won Jobs', 'Other Jobs')

2. Add in expression field this statement:

Count(Status)

AFAIK,calculated dimensions usually have a big impact on performance (especially with huge data).  use of set analysis for restrictions over IF() stements is recommended ,especially in charts .

[sunny_talwar]

That's true, then I would suggest creating a field in the script only.

LOAD Status,

          If(Status = 'Won', 'Won', 'Rest') as New_Status

Resident Table;

and then use New_Status as Dimension and Count(New_Status) as your expression.

Alternatively, I don't understand the usage of Aggr() in your solution. Why not just use these?

=Count({$<Status={'Won'}>}Job)

=Count({$<Status={'*'}-{'Won'}>}Job)
