two dimension Vs Two Expressions

[#1]

Hi,

          I have two dimension's like actual year and estimated year as dimensions.Both counta,countb as their counts as expressions.But i was struggling to link accordingly since from three days.

         By the way,I have used

=ValueList(actual_Year,Estimated_Year) as dimension and 

=if(valueList('actual_year','estimated_year')='actual_year',counta,countb) as one expression
=if(valueList('actual_year','estimated_year')='estimated_year',countb,counta) as another expression also.but it is not giving desired results.

Does any one know the solution for this?Please provide me the clue to do this?

Thanks& Regards,

Hi,

      I think you missed ' thin dimension.

      Try

      =ValueList('actual_Year','Estimated_Year') as dimension

Hi ,

Thanks for all your reply.

I am not aware of thin dimension .What it is?

By the way,there is no difference from Estimated /estimated (my typo mistake).

Regardless of it,please give me the clue to proceed?

Thanks & Regards,

I think that he only meant that you should use single quotes around the string in the definition of the dimension using value list, like this:

=ValueList('actual_Year','estimated_Year')

You should also be careful with the strings, because your if-statement will be case sensitive.

Hope it helps,

we have to be clear on requirement,which are three things as follows:

on x-axis: year ( from two date fields)

on y-axis:count(*) ( different for actual_year & estimated_year)

Category: actual_year with red & estimated _year with blue as a column at the right side of the chart.

Hi Erich,

     I haven't typed any thing on that chart ,what ever the variables and function are there i used and pasted always for the dynamic variables.so,No mistakes as per the syntax.I verified and corrected that syntax errors immediately if any.

     I have attached the actual requirement(but it is clubing the both results into one and taking it as it is for other bar also).In that picture,Selected year is a combination of actual_year & estimated_year.(union of both).

     Thanks for all ur replies.
