How to add a sort of "WHERE" clause filter?

[Anonymous]

HI all,

I have added a table to my dashboard, is there a simple way of adding a "where" type clause such as

"Salesperson = "Adam" OR SalesPerson = "bob"?

I am playing around with the expression editor but cannot find the correct syntax. If I use Salesperson = "Adam" it will filter the result down correctly but the label on the row that that given field will be changed to "0" & "1".

Thanks in advance

Hi Adam, there's the set analysis feature, that lets you do this "selection" on the expression, from Qlik Help:

Set analysis and set expressions ‒ Qlik Sense

So, if you need something like sum of sales by salesperson Adam or Bob you could do something like:

sum( {<SalesPerson={'Adam','Bob'}>} )

The text between {} is the set expression, and no matter if you choose a different salesperson on a filter, the expresison will not change for this filter, since it's hardcoded to Adam or Bob.

The expression you used: "if(SalesPerson = "Adam") will evaluate to true or false since it's a binary return and will not give you a sum or other type of aggregation, giving you the 0s and 1s.

For example, the image below, with some dummy data, has in the red rectangle all the data I loaded, and the yellow one the expression where I hardcoded the two sales person.

Even though i select one salesperson, say Sally, the yellow table doesn't change because it has a set analysis, but the red one respects the selection.

The picture below shows the type of expresison I guess you were trying,

Hope it helps,

Felipe.

Glad to help Adam, could you mark the response as correct if you see that's the case?

Thanks,

Hi,

Please use set analysis to filter in this case,

sum( {<SalesPerson={'Adam','Bob'}>} ).

This statement will filter your table by Adam and Bob.
