Interest of listing fields in the modifier of a Set Analysis

[arnoqlik]

Hello,

I slowly learn how to use Set Analysis.

While I did understand the interest of the modifier to filter data (example :  {$<Year={2021}>} ), I don't see what is the interest of listing fields in the modifiers.

Example:

Count({$<DATE_PIC_MONTH,
TYPE_BESOIN_PIC_DESCRIPTION,
%MATERIAL_PIC>}
DISTINCT EKPO.EBELP&EKKO.EBELN)

How to read this code?

Thank you.

EDIT: if I'm not wrong I think it means that we don't care about the (potential) selections in these fields.

For instance "DATE_PIC_MONTH" can be selected to the value "April" but the result of the set analysis will take into account the 12 months of the year.

Hi,

The interest of listing field is to ignore selection on these fields. Take a look here, mainly explanations from S.Talwar
