Scanning a field and identifying if it contains a string

[#1]

Hi Guys,

This formula doesn't  work. I have created it within a Master Measure
What this formula does:

- Find the email addresses that have submitted one and only one answer (aggregate your_answer by email address)
- if this unique answer is = 28 or #javascript or #javas --> Assign Pass

- Otherwise assign Fail

ISSUE: it assigns Pass only if the answer is 1 equal to 28.

if the your_answer grouped by email address is 1 and equal to #javascript or #javas it assignes FAIL

if(

    (

      (

       aggr(count(your_answer), [Email Address])=1

       )

       AND if(

              [your_answer]=28 OR [your_answer]='#javascript' OR [your_answer]='#java',[your_answer]

              )

     ),'Pass', 'Fail'

    )

Guess that it's a syntax problem

If I take my formula and instead of #java and #javascipt I put 29 and 30
it works perfectly

but I need to formula to scan the fields and identify if they contain strings (#java and #javascript)

So I guess that it's a syntax problem related to "Scanning a field and identifying if there is a specific string within it"

the syntax '#javascript' doesn t work. The syntax '$(#javascript)' doesn t work either.
again, if I want to "Scan a field and identify if there is a specific number within it", it works.

Suggestions?

Any Idea?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

Apologies for the double post, how can I post a question in more than 1

group?

Now I have just access to a very few groups and the answers I get are

always too complex for me

I am a beginner, I can't afford a course for the moment, I have programming

skills but I find things in Qlik quite difficult sometimes

Furthermore, why I cannot reply to the post anymore?

No reply button, no action available

If it does, are you sure you are getting the answer you expect. The syntax looks dodgy to me.

>>Scanning a field and identifying if there is a specific string within it

Check the manual or on line help for

• Match(FIELD, 'string1', 'string2', ...)
• WildMatch(FIELD, '*string1*', '*string2*'. ...)
• FIELD Like '*string1*'
• Index(FIELD, 'string')
  

One of those should be suitable for your needs

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your tips. Basically what I would like to do is giving the title of "Top Developer" to the emaill addresses that answered only once to the question and answered either 28, or #javascript or #java

This should be a master measure

Is it possible to do it?

I have created a master measure named "Top Developer" and I inserted this formula

count(

           if(

              (match(your_answer, 28, '#javascript','#java'))  AND (your_answer), [Email Address]=1

             )

       )

but it doesn't give me the result I expect in terms of number

Would you be able to give me a hint?
I am now reading the Qlik University stuff to learn more

Many Thanks

P
