Perhaps sum(total aggr(count([# of Ads]),[QlickSourceDesc]))

it's an id column, so i would like to count it (instead of sum it),

but when i use count, results are the same...

Perhaps sum(total aggr(count([# of Ads]),[QlickSourceDesc]))

worked like a charm!

can you elaborate on it?

i understand the aggr function,

but i don't understand how it works when nested in a total function

The aggr function works exactly the same as without the total keyword. The total keyword just causes the sum to be calculated disregarding the dimension boundaries of your chart.

Hey,

count([# of Ads])  will be equal to number of [QlickSourceDesc] .


Isn't it ??


Thanks

now my problem is that it disregards other dimensions in my chart,

i have tried to drop the "tota" but it doesn't give me any result,

please see:

sum(aggr(count([Ad Counter]), ClickSourceDesc))

Maybe sum(total <[Year-Month]> aggr(count([Ad Counter]), ClickSourceDesc))
