can someone please check my Syntax

[samuel_brierley]

Hi all,

Im convinced this is correct but obviously not lol

=count({<Clearance_Time = {$(>num(MonthEnd(Raised_Timestamp)))}>}Clearance_Time)

to check this Ive separated the parts out into the below table to help me work out the problem....didn't help

if its not obvious what i'm trying to do is count the occurrences where an item is cleared in the month after it was raised.

Try this:

count({$<Clearance_Time={">$(=num(MonthEnd(Only(Raised_Timestamp))))"}>} Clearance_Time)

If you are not specifying a specific value for your Set Analysis, you need to use a search string (denoted by the set enclosed in double quotes, and the '>', so we are searching for values greater than the value within the set.

Also, you need some sort of aggregation for the set value - in this example i've used Only as I imaging their may be only one value of Raised_Timestamp for each Clearance_Time.

Thanks for trying guys but neither of the above result in a number and from the Image you can see that this shouldn't be the case.

I've attached my qvw if that helps, sheet 3 contains the tables im looking at here.

I'm only a personal user so if you get to a solution please post it in as text

thanks for all the help guys

Create a new field in the script in a preceding load that checks if the clearance time is larger than the monthend time of the raised time.

[Fault Table]:

LOAD *, If(Clearance_Time> MonthEnd( Raised_Date),1,0) as ClearedLate;

LOAD Fault_Id,

     Fault_State,

...etc

You can then use this new field in your count expression: count({<ClearedLate={1}>}Clearance_Time)

Just change the expression as below.

count({$<Clearance_Time={">$(num(MonthEnd(Only(Raised_Timestamp))))"}>} Clearance_Time)

Thanks,

I can now spend the time wrapping my head round why my way wouldn't work.

[Gysbert_Wassenaar]

That answer is not correct. It will return the same as count(Clearance_Time). You can see in the screenshot below how the dollar expansion is evaluated:
