Set Analysis Issue

[lucas4bi]

Hello everyone,

i have an issue that i dont really know how to solve with set analysis:

i need to calculate an expression like sum(value) not affected by any selection, (so i would normally use a {1} in the expression)   except for Field1 and Field2,which selections should affect the expression. how could i do this??

Thank you in advance

Hi,

You will need to include all your fields (expect the ones you want to consider) in set analysis, like this:

sum( {$<Field3 = , Field4 = , Field5 = >}value) // This will ignore selections in fields Field3, Field4 and Field5

Hope this helps,

Erich

Thank you Erich, this is how i would normally fix the problem, but since i would have to add hundres of fields like this, i was wondering if there was a faster way to get the same result, something like {1-<Field1, Field2>} even if this expression doesnt work well...

In that case, I would recommend that you develop a script to create the expression.  Then, paste the expression into QlikView.  Something quick in Python, AutoHotkey, Ruby, or your favorite programming language should do the trick.

You can use an expression to write this sequence of fields for you.

You can create a variable vText with the following expression:

=Concat( {<$Field-={'Field1','Field2'}>} '['& $Field & ']= ',',' ) //dont forget the =

This expression will not include Field1 and Field2 in the string.

Then, on set analysis, it will be:

sum {<$(vText)>} value)

Hope this helps,

Hi Mate,

Erich solution works and I had just improved it to make it generic.

=COUNT({$<[$(=Concat({1<$Field-={'Gender'}>}distinct $Field,'],[')&']=')>} Resp_ID)

In the above example except {'Gender'} all the other fields won't allow selections. You can seperate with comma to include more field names.

I hope this helps!
