Q&A:

Q: What is the most efficient way to apply set analysis to a numeric field using a variable returning a string? They both represent dates.

A: Change the format of the numeric field to a string. If it is a date, use the Date() function. And then use wildcards and other string functions.

 

Q: What about the {<[PROD] = $::[PROD] >} statement in set expressions? Please explain.

A: The double colon (::) sets the expression to use the Default State. Here is documentation with more details: Synchronizing Selections between States

 

Q: sum({-<qty = {'*'}>} ContractAmount)

A: This is using an operator to exclude everything from the qty dimension.

 

Q: =Sum({$-<[Top BU]={'*'}>} Sales)

A: This is using an operator to exclude everything from the Top BU dimension. Using the '-' with the identifier excludes all values that are not null.
