QlikView 11 Set Analysis disregards my selection

[#1]

Hi.

I am attempting to use Set Analysis to compare two data series over a certain time period. The first data series looks at all records in my data set over a certain month. I created a line chart where I look at that information and make the necessary date range selections in a multi-box. It looks like this:

Then I attempt to add the data series that I want to compare using set analysis I wanted to limit the data to a certain class so I used a formula similar to this:

                    sum({$<Class = {'Tier 1'}>} NumberIamMeasuring)

I was under the impression that the use of the "$" identifier would keep my current selections in tact. But when I do this my selections are disregarded and my chart turns into this:

I have been referencing the document I have attached and I can't seem to figure out what kind of mistake I am making.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks.

Nathan,

Your SetAnalysis statement sets the Class to 'Tier 1' on top of the current selection state $.

$ - Represents the records of the current selection

If you would like to compare the first SUM(NumberIamMeasuring) with sum({$<Class = {'Tier 1'}>} NumberIamMeasuring) you'll have to create 2 expressions.

I'm sorry, I should have specified. I do have both expressions on there. It's just that after adding the second expression (the one with the set analysis), the chart changes and my date selections are ignored.

Based on your screenshots I can only see the difference in year.

Could you upload a small example app ?

I could work on setting up a small example app but it might take me a bit.

But the problem is the difference in the year. I need my month and day selections to stay the same when I apply that set analysis expression.

I looks like you have checked on "continuous" on the Axes tab? Does it work if you uncheck that?

Unfortunately no. Continuous is actually not checked. I tried it again after checking and unchecking it and there were no changes.
