Text value in Set analysis

Hello,

I am using Text value in set analysis to retrieve one value. but that text field is having some values as Tom(RIP). So this is not picking when I use in set analysis. To be more clear please look the below example

For example:

only({<Name = {'David'}>}$(eTest)) - this is working fine

only({<Name = {'David(RIP)'}>}$(eTest))- - bcos of that circular brackets inside my text value this is not picking in set analysis.

Is there any way to handle this? I have to use Name field values as they are in Data source, So I cant change the Name field values.

Thanks

Try this:

only({<Name = {"=David(RIP)"}>}$(eTest))

The round parentheses work for me in the same example that you posted.

There should be alternatives to make it work, but if its not working now i'm not sure we can expect alternatives to work either.

Can you prove that there should be data ? What exactly is your result.  In the screenshot above i am capturing the correct Value of 2  for when Name=He(llo) ....

It works for me also, Look for conflicting selections. It could be that you've eliminated the person you want to display from the list of possible choices.

If that's the case try this:

only({1<Name = {'David(RIP)'}>}$(eTest))
