Use variable as measure in set analysis
Hello all,
I've started with QLik sense a few months ago, today I'm stuck with a variable "issue".
I've read a lot of posts and suggestions but nothing help.
I have a variable called v_FTtotalcost, this variable is the sum of a dozen of other variables and is set as :
$(=v_1) + $(=v_2)+$(=v_3)+$(=v_4)+.... all are measures
(I've tried to build the v_FTtotalcost with Rangesum as well, but does help to solve my issue)
Want I want to achieve is to use v_FTtotalcost as measure in a set analysis to put a condition on the date .
I've tried many things as :
SUM({<[Action_Date.autoCalendar.Year]={'2019'}>}, $(v_FTtotalcost)) --> no results (-)
SUM({<[Action_Date.autoCalendar.Year]={'2019'}>}, $(=v_FTtotalcost)) --> no results (-)
SUM({<[Action_Date.autoCalendar.Year]={'2019'}>}, $($(=v_FTtotalcost)) --> no results (-)
note that SUM($(=v_FTtotalcost)) gives a result (for all years of course..)
Thank you for your help

How each variable calculates? If, It has Sum(Measure). It never replies with Sum({<>} Sum(Measure))
To achieve, you need to define with Aggr() like Sum({<>} Aggr($(Variable), Dim1, Dim2))

Thank you for your answer
Indeed other variables are SUM, not familiar with Aggr function, I don't need any dim, what should I use as dim ?

Can you tell us, What this variable? v_FTtotalcost
Make sure, Please write full expression at least 2 measures like Sum(V1)+Sum(V2) ...

v_FTTotal is defined as :
$(=v_Cost_Sales_Services) + $(=v_Cost_Sales_Hardware) + $(=v_Cost_NP_Services) + $(=v_Cost_NP_Hardware) + $(=v_SAC_NP_Services_Noweb) + $(=v_SAC_NP_Hardware_Noweb) + $(=v_SAC_NP_Hardware_Webonly) + $(=v_SAC_ServicesNoWeb) + $(=v_SAC_HardwareNoWeb) + $(=v_SAC_HardwareWebonly)
Here is the definition of some v_Cost_xxxx and v_SAC_xxx variables (quite 'complex variables, with already some other variables included)
v_Cost_Sales_Hardware=
((SUM({$< TM_PA_IND-={'Service'}, CONTR_STATUS_FAMILY= {'deactivation'},OPEN_AMT={">0"} >}OPEN_AMT))-(SUM({$< TM_PA_IND-={'Service'}, CONTR_STATUS_FAMILY= {'deactivation'} >}CONTR_UNIQUE_CNT)*
(if(Action_Year='2018','190',if(Action_Year='2019','180')))))
*0.3
v_SAC_ServicesNoWeb=
SUM({$< SA_MACRO_SEGMENT-={'TELE RES','WEBCHANNEL'}, TM_PA_IND={'Service'}, CONTR_STATUS_FAMILY= {'deactivation'} >}CONTR_UNIQUE_CNT)
* $(v_SAC)
* (1-$(v_Cback%ServiceNoWeb))
v_Cost_NP_Hardware=
(Sum({$<TM_PA_IND-={'Service'}, CUSTOMER_BEHAVIOR_FLAG= {'NP deactivation'}>}NP_OPEN_AMT)
-
(Sum({$<TM_PA_IND-={'Service'},CUSTOMER_BEHAVIOR_FLAG= {'NP deactivation'}>}CONTR_UNIQUE_CNT)
*
(if(Action_Year='2018','190',if(Action_Year='2019','180'))))
)
*0.3

I 've succeeded to make it work thanks to your proposal : Sum({<>} Aggr($(Variable), Dim1, Dim2))
I put the Year as Dim , and I'm able to create a YTD condition in set analysis.
Solution :
Sum({< [ACTION_YYYYMM.autoCalendar.Year]= {"$(=max(Action_Year))"}>}aggr($(v_FTTotal) , [Action_Date.autoCalendar.Year] ))
gives the v_FTtotal for max action year
Many Thx
