text box set analysis date time between two dates

[qliklizzy]

Hi

I have searched and tired various set analysis to bring back data for yesterday but I get an error, even though it says expression ok?

=count({$ {< ArrivalDateTime = {">=$ (= date(today()-1)) <=$(=date(today()))"}

,MetricID={'LI01'}
,TriageCategory={'Majors'} >}
distinct AttendanceIdentifier )

all I want to do is show in a text box the number of arrivals for yesterday.  arrival date time is a datetime field.

thanks

for any help 🙂

Hi, Try the validation a table with all the fields as dimension + 2 of the variables that you have created in the dimension and count(Attendance Identifier) as your expression and check which part of the expression is failing to calculate the values.

Hi

I have managed to get the data to display in a table: 54 is the correct answer.

I've realized, metric ID LI01 is my live current data. LI02 is my performance data including historic.

however I still don't get it right in the text box -  a count if statement actually works better than set analysis in the text box? -

=count(if(DateArrival=today()-1 and MetricID='LI02' and TriageCategory='Majors',AttendanceIdentifier))  

I get 52  🙂

I meant 54!  it is right 😉

=count(if(DateArrival=today()-1 and MetricID='LI02' and TriageCategory='Majors',AttendanceIdentifier))  

This should work same as above -

Count({<MetricID={'LI02'}, TriageCategory={'Majors'}, DateArrival={$(=Today()-1)}>}AttendanceIdentifier)

and instead of using Today-1, I would create a variable vPriorDate as =Date(Today()-1, 'SameFormatAsYourDateArrivalField' and use below expression - 

Count({<MetricID={'LI02'}, TriageCategory={'Majors'}, DateArrival={$(vPriorDate )}>}AttendanceIdentifier)
