distinct Vs DISTINCT

Please find the below expression.

if(count(distinct [Carrier Name]) = 1, [Carrier Name], 'others')

Now, when I type "Di" of "DISTINCT" keyword in the expression window, Qlikview automatically gives me suggestion- DISTINCT, so I just select it.

However, the keyword DISTINCT does not give me expected output.

I had to manually make it lowercase to get the desired results.  So, if upper case is not working, why does Qlikeview gives such a wrong suggestion?

Hi Prasad,

I think there is no difference between DISTINCT and distinct.  Your expression

if(count(distinct [Carrier Name]) = 1, [Carrier Name], 'others')

If there are multiple (>1) Carrier Names by the dimension in your chart then Others is displayed, otherwise corresponding Carrier Name is displayed.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Jagan.

In that case, why does the output come only after writing distinct ? and not with DISTINCT?

Try This

count(distinct if([Carrier Name]) = 1, [Carrier Name], 'others'))

The expression used is :   if(count(distinct [Carrier Name]) = 1, [Carrier Name], 'others')

Dimension is only Carrier Name.
