- symbol and = symbol differences

[manoj217]

num(count({<[Request Type]-= {'applied'}>}ISSUED),v_NumberFormat)

num(count({<[Request Type]= ,applied={'applied'}>}ISSUED),v_NumberFormat)

tell me differences between

[Request Type] - = 'x'

[Request Type]=, applied=,requested=,

Hi Manoj,

[Request Type] - = 'x'  --> Means all the values of field [Request Type] except 'x'

[Request Type]= ---> Means the expression will not be impacted or change if you select any values under field [Request Type]

I would recommend you to go through this to learn more about set analysis.

Set Analysis: syntaxes, examples

[Request Type]=,  // ignore selection in [Request Type] field

[Request Type] - = {'x'}  // consider current selection of the field [Request Type] excluding value 'x'

applied=,requested=,      // had they been field, it would have meaning like in the first line explained

[Request Type] - = 'x'  --> Means all the values of field [Request Type] except 'x'

This is not exactly correct. First, it would be, like: [Request Type] - = {'x'}.

And, when you put negation symbol ('-') before '=' sign, that means, the value(s) in the list (within curly braces) would be excluding from the set taking into consideration - the current selection. However, if you put the negation symbol ('-') after the '=' sign, like: [Request Type] = -{'x'}, it means, like you said : all values (irrespective of selection in the field) except 'x'.
