Data different with same expression in measure and dimension

[Daniel77]

Hi All,

I have the following Expression.

if([Standard Name] <>'Oeko Tex',[Standard Name],
If([Standard Name] ='Oeko Tex' and followupexpiry = Aggr(Max(followupexpiry),[Production Facility T1],certified_product, [Standard Name]),[Standard Name],null()))

When i add this to a measure i get the desired result (col 2) but when I add the same to a Dimension i get all null, even though there is no error.

Just noticed in the header it looks like one is reading as a number and the other text

I need the result as column 2 but as a dimension so i can hide the nulls. I tried the add ons and unticked show zero value but this had no impact on the table.

Can anyone let me know why the measure is treating the expression differently to the dimension and how the required can be achieved?

Thank you

For the Dimension you will need to wrap the expression in an Aggr() to tell Qlik what field to run the expression over. 

Aggr(
if([Standard Name] <>'Oeko Tex',[Standard Name],
If([Standard Name] ='Oeko Tex' and followupexpiry = Aggr(Max(followupexpiry),[Production Facility T1],certified_product, [Standard Name]),[Standard Name],null()))
, [Standard Name])
