Hi all,

can someone help me out with below issue please???????

sum({<xoptiontype_={'CALL'}>}(Nominal_Quantity*voption))  where voption is a variable???

because voption is a formula which is very complex consisting of many other variables in it so I stored it as a variable.

Hi

I think that the right syntax is:

sum({<xoptiontype_={'CALL'}>}(Nominal_Quantity*$(=voption)))

Hi,

There is a difference, how you store an expression in a variable with or without an equal sign...

Look at this:  http://qlikshare.com/scope-variables-qlik/

You said that variable voption is one complex expression composed of more variables and calculations...
Try to start from bottom up; from this variable, and slowly expanding your expression.

I think that for giving you the right answer, we should also understand your data model and want do you want to do...
Paste your data model.
And tell us if you get any result (calculation) or you don't get calculation at all. 

On your place would i start with examining variable voption and it's expression and then build up...

Can you tell what you are storing in variable? let's go from scrach

Take variable into input box and make some selection from other related listbox. Check whether variable value in input box changing accordingly.

Hi Sarvjeet,

I did get the result by this method but I also require a line chart with strike_price1 as the dimention and the

net call ie:

({<xoptiontype_={'CALL'}>}(Nominal_Quantity))*$(voption)  as the expression.

I need to get  a single line graph but that doesnt happen

use this expression :

 

Sum(AGGR(sum({<xoptiontype_={'CALL'}>}(Nominal_Quantity))* $(voption), [Strike Price],strike_price1, buy_sell))

it will work 🙂
