Trying to Filter an Expression and Having No Luck

Hi - 

I'm trying to filter a couple expressions by Num(Count) and Num(Sum).  Both are kind of similar, so I'll pose the question on the Num(Count) example. 

(Ex 1)  Currently my formula is:  num(Count({<[Total Outstanding]={'>0'},[Off Aging]={'no'},[C&C Group]={'Direct'},[GL Country]={'BZL'},[Transaction Type]={'Direct Electronic Invoice','Direct IC Credit Card Invoice'}>} [Bill/Invoice #]))  .  This seems to work ok...

But when I try to add in one more filter to the formula to filter a field called "Orig - Total O/S", it makes all data disappear.  I'm basically trying to add one more filter to show only records where "Original Amount" - "Total Outstanding" equal zero

(Ex 2)  This new formula shows as:  num(Count({<[Total Outstanding]={'>0'},[Off Aging]={'no'},[C&C Group]={'Direct'},[GL Country]={'CA'},[Transaction Type]={'Direct Electronic Invoice','Direct IC Credit Card Invoice'},[Orig - Total O/S]={'0'}>} [Bill/Invoice #]))

It seems my 'new' formula doesn't like how I wrote the bolded syntax I guess, as in adding it...it makes all my data disappear.  The definition for field [Orig - Total O/S] is:  money([Original Amount]-[Total Outstanding], '$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)') as [Orig - Total O/S]

Attached is my data.  The data that shows appears when I use the formula for Example 1.  When I use the Example 2 formula, I get 'no data' at all.

Any help in making my expression work would be greatly appreciated.  

thank you,

Lee

In the sample data that you provided, your 2nd formula works for [GL Country]='BZL', there is no data for [GL Country]='CA'.

I made one change to the formula, I changed [Total Outstanding]={'>0'} to [Total Oustanding]={">0"}

thanks for the reply.  My mistake in copying the formula.  The Ex 2 should be the same as the Ex 1 except the red text.  It should read:    num(Count({<[Total Outstanding]={'>0'},[Off Aging]={'no'},[C&C Group]={'Direct'},[GL Country]={'BZL'},[Transaction Type]={'Direct Electronic Invoice','Direct IC Credit Card Invoice'},[Orig - Total O/S]={'0'}>} [Bill/Invoice #]))

Were you able to get data using BZL?  I can't get data to show

The formula worked after changing to double-quotes

[Total Outstanding]={">0"}

thanks, Jwjackso.  I tried changing, like you said, to show 

         num(Count({<[Total Outstanding]={">0"},[Off Aging]={'no'},[C&C Group]={'Direct'},[GL Country]={'BZL'},[Transaction Type]={'Direct Electronic Invoice','Direct IC Credit Card Invoice'},[Orig - Total O/S]={'0'}>} [Bill/Invoice #]))

this works ok for me, yes, until I again add in the last portion of: [Orig - Total O/S]={'0'}  , and then I get no data again.  Are you getting data to show with that portion of the script added, as I am not.  I even tried with the {"0"}, and still nothing.  I really appreciate the help

This is the result that I get.

Thanks, Jwjackso.  Yes, that is correct - 99.  Hmmm, that's so strange that I don't get that when I use the same expression.  I'm wondering if it has something to do with how i have the field [Orig - Total O/S] defined.  For all my other fields, I have them defined in my 'extract' layer.  Only this field I have defined in my 'presentation' layer - under the 'Main' script.  I'm far from an advanced Qlikview user...I'm excited my expression works right, but confused why output isn't showing...  Thanks
