Hi All!
I'm making application that shows how often customers have bought things. I'll simplify it a bit to this. I need to groups, first is customers who have bought things in rolling 12 and second group is people who have bought things before this.
I'm making this with set analysis and with QV9 sr5.
Expression 1
Count({
(
$<InvoicingDate={">$(=v_RollingStart)<=$(=v_MonthEnd)"}, Product={'Things'}>
)
}
Distinct Customer)
This gives me all customers who have bought things in selected rolling 12 period. Second expression is the problem:
Expression 2
Count({
(
$<InvoicingDate={">$(=v_Passive24)<=$(=v_Passive12)"}, Product={'Things'}>
)
-
(
$<InvoicingDate={">$(=v_RollingStart)<=$(=v_MonthEnd)"}, Product={'Things'}>
)
}
Distinct Customer)
This gives me also customers who have bought things in rolling period. So I have customers that fits to both expressions. If I undestand second expression correctly then QV calculates 1-1=1. First part of expression returns 1 and second part of expression returns also 1.
I have various versions of this:
Version2:
Count({
(
$< Customer =
P({$<Product={'Things'}, InvoicingDate={">$(=v_Passive24)<=$(=v_Passive12)"}>})>
)
*
(
$<Customer =
E({$<InvoicingDate={">$(=v_Passive12)"}>})>
)
}
Distinct Customer)
If I take version 2 apart then first part of expression returns 1 and second part of expression returns 0, but for some reason 1 * 0 = 1. I have tried also - and + operators in this.
Any ideas?
Hi,
There won't be any difference between these for this set operator both will be same.
Set1/Set2 equals Set2/Set1
Also Set1*Set2 equals Set2*Set1
and Set1+Set2 equals Set2+Set1
Only the result of - (Exclusion) operator varies.
Set1-Set2 not equals Set2-Set1

Hi,
thanks for the answer,
So,that means we can generalize and say that
always holds true:
Set1/Set2 equals Set2/Set1
Also Set1*Set2 equals Set2*Set1
and Set1+Set2 equals Set2+Set1
and the result of Set1-Set2 depends on the values in Set1.
You explained it quite well with the example.
Regards
