Set analysis-Include excluded values

[#1]

Hi,

I want to write a sum() expresion that include excluded values. How can i do it?

when i write sum({1<>}), it returns sum of all of possible values. I want to include grayed values.

Hello Sana,

I am assuming that you want to ignore the grayed values of one field. If so, this is the expression.

Sum(${<FIELD_TO_IGNORE = {} > }SALES)

You want to look at the E() function in set analysis.

Example:

sum( {$<Customer = E({1<Product={‘Shoe’}>})>} Sales )

returns the sales for current selection, but only those customers that never bought the product ‘Shoe’. The element function E( ) here returns the list of excluded customers; those that are excluded by the selection ‘Shoe’ in the field Product.

Hi shankar,

No it's not working

No, i don't want to exclude specific customers. All i want is to include in my sum customers that never bought the product Shoe, even when i select this product from the filter

As Nicole stated, the excluded values can be interpreted depending on the rules of selections, so you can add another selection in Set Analysis to indicate which values will be considered as "excluded" or you can just use the current selections. For instance:

sum( {$<Customer=E(Customer)>}  Amount)

The above expression will show the sum of amount for all the Customers that are excluded given the current selections.

Also you could see select all excluded field values with the following set:

sum( {1-$} Amount)

You should review the Set Analysis description in the Help.

sum( {$<Customer = E({1<Product={‘Shoe’}>}Customer)>} Sales )

Apparently no one understood my need.
I explain, assuming that when I select 2013, I got only January sales. (Only January has sales)

In my graph I want to display:

-the January sales

-forcasted  sales (FCT) of all 2013.

How can I write this FCT expression?

That's a completely different question... and it also depends on your rules to forecast. The simplest method I've seen is to use the previous period and use a factor (defined by your bussines rules) to create the forecast for the current year. What's more often is that people get this value from a database table...

P.S. I don't see how using the excluded values will create a valid forecast...

I have alreday the fcsted values, for each month.. This is not the problem

The problem is , as i said: if there are sales only for one month (January), it will calculate only the fct of january. But i want to display the fct of all 2013, see that i only select the year 2013 and not the month.

So here, Including excluded values=include all 2013 months in the sum of fcted values (even grayed months Feb-->Dec)
