Hi,

Sorry this will be use in backend(script)

Use Match instead of where clause.

suppose country is ind,aus,usa we need then we use match(country,'ind','aus','usa')

hope this helps

using set analysis instead of where clause

this will use in expression

sum({<country={'ind','aus','usa'}>} Sales)

Hi,

you can use Set analysis to use where clause in expressions.

For eg: Sales where Country = India.

Sum({<Country={'India'}>}Sales)

A "WHERE clause" is scripting terminology, to be used in SQL SELECT and LOAD script statements only.

Expressions in UI objects like charts and text boxes can limit the range of data they operate/aggregate on by using one or more of the following techniques:

  • Use dimensions to separate groups of values. The expression will operate only on the field values associated with that particular dimension value
  • Use IF () functions to explicitly select the values you want the expression to operate on. An IF () function call can be embedded anywhere a value, a field or a parameter is expected. The evaluation of IF functions can be costly when aggregating a large data set.
  • Use set analysis to limit the scope of an expression before the aggregation is performed. Very powerful, but can be complex and difficult to master. Punctuation is king.

Hi,

Where clause is not used in the expression it is load script functions and use there you can use it in load script

Ex:-

Load * inline

[

City

Berlin

London

Rio

Spain

] Where Match(City,'Berlin','London');

And

In Expression you can use it with SET expression or with any If conditions

With SET

Count( {<City = {'Berlin','London'}>} City )


With IF

Count( If( Match(City,'Berlin','London'),   City )

Go for set analysis

Sum({<TYPE ={'A','B'}, ID ={'1','2'}>} Sales)

Means Provide Sum of sales where TYPE = A,B and ID=1,2
