Exclusion Calculation Total with Filter

[brettaustin]

Hello community

I have  a text box with a calculation with the intention on displaying the 'current' month's total records where there is a date on one field and not in another.  See following:

=count(DISTINCT {<
[Report Month] = {"$(=Date(max([Report Month])))"},
ActualApprovalDt = {"*"},
ID = e({<ActualStartDate = {"*"}>}),
[Record Type] = {"Y"},
Name = {"*"}
>}
ID
)

The total.. when no selections are applied is accurate ('18').  HOWEVER, when a user selects multiple filters (Actual Approval Date - 11/2 and 11/9) the total updates to an incorrect number ('34').  The number should be '6'.

Any ideas?

Thank you

That is because you are ignoring

ActualApprovalDt selection in your set analysis.

i changed below to get the value you want

=count(DISTINCT {<
[Report Month] = {"$(=Date(max([Report Month])))"},
//ActualApprovalDt = {"*"},
//ID = e({<ActualStartDate = {"*"}>}),
[Record Type] = {"Y"},
Name = {"*"}
>}
ID
)

So, when 11/9 and 11/12 is selected, why would you want to see 6 and not 5? ID E151 seems to have an ActualStartDate associated with it, isn't it?

If you agree 5 is the right answer, you can try this

=count(DISTINCT {<
	[Report Month] = {"$(=Date(max([Report Month])))"},
	ActualApprovalDt *= {"*"},
	ID *= e({<ActualStartDate *= {"*"}>}),
	[Record Type] = {"Y"},
	Name = {"*"}
	>}
	ID
	)
