Setanalysis with getfieldselection field issues

[Anonymous]

I need help to understand what is going wrong with my syntax of getfield used in conjunction with set analysis

I am trying count the number of tickets when the user selects the field in the list box  titled 'Ticket Type'. I have used the below syntax but it shows an error in the set modifier when i type the below. I am not able to understand what is going wrong with it Can somebody please help me?

count(distinct {<Ticket_Type = {=getfieldselection(Ticket_Type)}Incident>})

Attaching the screenshot of the syntax. values appear blank. though it states that the expression is ok..normally the formulas should appear in blue but is not the case.

I have no idea why you need GetFieldSelections here? Can you elaborate the requirement a little more?

There are few bracket issues. Try to copy the expression suggested above and try.

Perhaps, he wants the output on selection only. I.e. - no result until any selection is there.

I think it should be $ not &

count(distinct {<Ticket_Type = {"&(=getfieldselections(Ticket_Type))"}>} Incident)

count(distinct {<Ticket_Type = {"$(=getfieldselections(Ticket_Type))"}>} Incident)

. Thanks.

In that case, what about this approach that Stefan mentioned?

=If(GetSelectedCount(TicketType) = 1, Count(DISTINCT Incident))

or

=If(GetSelectedCount(TicketType) >= 1, Count(DISTINCT Incident))

or

Count(DISTINCT Incident) * RangeMin(Alt(GetSelectedCount(TicketType), 1), 1)

It worked the second time when i pasted it. Thanks for the explanation. I learnt something new.

Thanks for the syntax.. It worked.

It worked with the $ syntax as count(distinct {<Ticket_Type = {"$(=getfieldselections(Ticket_Type))"}>} [Incident])
