Set Analysis - Beginner

[pkelly]

Hi....

I've just recently upgraded to version 9 which means that I can start to use Set Analysis instead IF statements.

I have the following expression....

=sum(IF(%CalendarKey = varToday, soi_Sales))

How do I convert this to set analysis...?

I have tried..

=sum({<[%CalendarKey]={$(=varToday)}>} soi_Sales) /1000

QlikView doesn't report any error with the statement but my column just has blank entries.

Where am I going wrong...?

Hi,

Try like this

sum({$< [ %CalendarKey ] = varToday)>} soi_Sales) /1000

or

sum( { $ < [ %CalendarKey ] = { $(varToday) } > } soi_Sales) /1000

and one more thing check whether the varToday Variable contains any value or not since if it is null ,the result will be null...

Regards,

Ajay

Hi,

Forgot to say one more point check the format of data in both the fileds i.e in [ %CalendarKey ] and the varToday variable....

even if the foramts are matching it will result nulll

Thanks Ajay

Think the second one is closest as the first is giving an error...

Still getting blanks though...

varToday has 12/05/2010 as its value (dd/mm/yyyy)

I do have records as this is looking at sales order intake...

Any help greatly appreciated...

Hi

assume a date format problem. Can you try to filter on a fixed date and play around with the formats you might be using , 12-05-2010, 2010-12-05 etc.

e.g. sum({<[%CalendarKey] = {'12/05/2010'}>} soi_Sales)
