Alternate State , set analysis vs right panel properties.

[Daniel29195]

Hi All,

I was just wondering, what is the difference between adding the alternate state inside the set analysis for a measure in a chart,

ex :  sum ( {  alternateStateName <set modifier>}   field1)

VS

adding the alternate state from the right Panel under Appearance --> alternate State)

Thank you in advance...

Putting it in the measure will only affect the measure, whereas defining it on the Panel will apply it for the whole chart.  You can have two measures on a chart with a different alternative state on each one, which is where putting it in the measure itself would be useful.
