Hi

That means excluding.

Thank you.

Perhaps, you got this somewhere in set expression.

'-' operator denotes Exclusion.

Example:

sum( {$<Product -= {OurProduct1, OurProduct2} >} Sales )
returns the sales for the current selection, but using an implicit exclusion of “OurProduct1” and “OurProduct2” from the list of selected products.

Yes..

Kezban also FYI, when used in set analysis like this, the syntax check will highlight this as an error but it is in fact correct and will calculate as expected

Hi,

Ex: All MANUFACTURERs except those whose name begins with ENT

{<MANUFACTURER_LDESC = {"*"} - {"ENT*"}>}

{<MANUFACTURER_LDESC = - {"ENT*"}>}

Ex: All MANUFACTURERs of the selection + those whose name begins with ENT

{<MANUFACTURER_LDESC += {"ENT*"}>}

Ex: All MANUFACTURERs of the selection except those whose name begins with ENT

{<MANUFACTURER_LDESC -= {"ENT*"}>}

Thanks,
