count on rows in object

[#1]

hi all,

i have the following challange:

i table diagram has (amongst others) a column that can either have the value 0, 1 or 2.

the value of this field is determined by a formula using some if statements.

so far, so good. i want to count all rows in this table that are 0, all rows that are 1 and all

rows that are 2 and store these numbers in a variable.

how can this be done ? can it be done at all ?

thanks,

regards,

K

Hi,

You have to check the values like

vVar1 = Count(If(Coulmn = 0 ,1,0))

vVar2 = Count(If(Coulmn = 1 ,1,0))

vVar3 = Count(If(Coulmn = 2 ,1,0))

For 0,1,2

Hi there,

You can use the label of the expression within another expression:

Sum(If([Count1] = 1, 1, 0))

Where [Count1] is the label of the expression used to count 0 values. You might try to transform those If() to set analysis without loss of information and use it in this another expression.

Hope that helps.

@Anand: Thank for the reply, but where do i put this piece of code ? If i try this on a variable, i get the error msg that Column (i replaced it with my real column name used in the diagram object) is not a valid field name. Maybe its important to understand that the column with the 0,1, and 2s is based on a formula. This field does not exist in my data model.

@Miguel: Thanks a lot. This reads interesting. Can you clarify / explain please what you mean by "Where [Count1] is the label of the expression used to count 0 values." ? As i mentioned above: Thie field i am looking at is not part of my data model. I create it only in this diagram table.

hope my problem became clear....

thanks a lot!
