Solved: Previous Value of the Expression - Qlik Community

Anonymous · ‎2015-04-09

Hi,

Suppose I have a straight table with three dimensions and one expression, and the expression has nested If statement along with Fractile() function.

When I select second row i.e. Test1, the value in the Metric is changing.

Our requirement is the Metric value should not change even if user selects any row in the straight table. Is there is any way, that I can get the previous value of the expression. I have tried Previous() and Only() function, but as the expression has nested If statements, the application hangs.

Waiting for inputs.

Thanks & Regards,

MK

Try this formula:

=if((C+B) <= fractile({<Name = , B = , C = >}TOTAL aggr((Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}C)+Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}B)),Name), 0.1), 10,

if((C+B) <= fractile({<Name = , B = , C = >}TOTAL aggr((Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}C)+Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}B)),Name), 0.2), 12,

if((C+B) <= fractile({<Name = , B = , C = >}TOTAL aggr((Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}C)+Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}B)),Name), 0.3), 14,

if((C+B) <= fractile({<Name = , B = , C = >}TOTAL aggr((Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}C)+Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}B)),Name), 0.4), 16,

if((C+B) <= fractile({<Name = , B = , C = >}TOTAL aggr((Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}C)+Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}B)),Name), 0.5), 18,

if((C+B) <= fractile({<Name = , B = , C = >}TOTAL aggr((Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}C)+Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}B)),Name), 0.6), 20,

if((C+B) <= fractile({<Name = , B = , C = >}TOTAL aggr((Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}C)+Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}B)),Name), 0.7), 22,

if((C+B) <= fractile({<Name = , B = , C = >}TOTAL aggr((Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}C)+Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}B)),Name), 0.8), 24,

if((C+B) <= fractile({<Name = , B = , C = >}TOTAL aggr((Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}C)+Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}B)),Name), 0.9), 26,

if((C+B) <= fractile({<Name = , B = , C = >}TOTAL aggr((Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}C)+Only({<Name = , B = , C = >}B)),Name), 1.0), 28, 8))))))))))

What exactly the expression looks like? Would you be able to share that, because without looking at the expression, it would be hard to give any suggestions.

Best,

When you select a row in a chart\table, you select corresponding values in the dimension(s). If you want this to have no effect on your calculations you need set analysis (see help). In this case that would be something like (example)

Sum({<Name,B,C>} Sales)

This disregards the selections in Name,B and C fields

Thanks for the quick response sunindia‌,

The expression looks somewhat like -

=if(($(v1)+ $(v2)) <= fractile(TOTAL aggr(($(v1)+$(v2)

),dimenaion1), 0.1), 10,
