Please explain simple logic

[priya945]

Hi All,

I have below simple table. 

Load * Inline [

Head Create ,Item Create
12/2/2024,       12/2/2024
12/4/2014,
2014

];

Comparing two dates and expected o/p is below

Yes	1
No	2

To get above o/p i have used the expression =if([Head Create]=[Item Create],'Yes','No') in calculated dimension  and 

= count(if([Head Create]=[Item Create],'Yes','No')) as expression. Could some explain what happens with this expression

I don't think you really need this... I think Sum(1) should work for you as well... In fact you can perform the calculated dimension operation in the script and use it as a field

Table:
LOAD *,
	 If([Head Create] = [Item Create], 'Yes', 'No') as MatchFlag;
LOAD * INLINE [
    Head Create, Item Create
    12/2/2024, 12/2/2024
    12/4/2014
    2014
];
