set expressions

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a variable_a which contains a complicated expression. The result of this expression is a single value.

I'd like to create a second variable which evaluates variable_a on certain set expression.

Is possible in QlikView?

The point is that I don't want to clone complicated expressions.I'd like to set an expression as a variable and then evaluate this variable on different set expressions.

Thank you in advance,

Larisa

I'm pretty sure what you want can be done. I don't quite understand what you want to do though. Here's an example with three variables. vSum takes a field name as parameter.

vMaxDate: =max(MyDate)

vSetModifier: {$<MyDate={">=$(vMaxDate)"}>}

vSum: sum($(vSetModifier) $1)

expression: $(vSum(SalesAmount))
