Mixing two "IF" fomulas on SAP Analytics Cloud - Data action

Posted on Jun 24, 2020 at 10:03 AM 198 Views

Hello
I'm trying to create a logical function mixing "IFs" from two dimensions with no success.

I want to calculate the expected harvest of a vineyard that depending on two categories: the grape color (red or white) and the last year of rental agreement.

I have an account-dimension with the "Year of agreement" as a measure

and a generic-dimension with a grape color as an attribute


The two "IFs" functions work perfectly separately. However when I try to combine them, I get validation errors like: "The operator 'AND' can not be used in an IF function"

this is the script of the two separate IFs:

IF ( RESULTLOOKUP([d/account]="AGGRMNT_YEAR") - RESULTLOOKUP([d/Date]=%Current_Year%)) >0
IF [d/VINEYARD].[p/Color]="RED"

Can you please help me to use both of them as a condition for my data action?

Thanks for helping!

PS: attached one of my unsuccessful trial out of many

    You can't have multiple Master data filters in IF conditions...
    Multiple conditions are very tricky.

    Yes, It is very frustrating and unintuitive...

    and it's explained in help documentation here:
    https://help.sap.com/viewer/00f68c2e08b941f081002fd3691d86a7/release/en-US/afe93e3cf1414a7b8419baad11cc066e.html#loioafe93e3cf1414a7b8419baad11cc066e__logical

    Don't fully get your requirement but try to nest the IF statements, or use memberset and variablemember untill you get there...

    IF [d/VINEYARD].[p/Color]="RED" THEN
IF ( RESULTLOOKUP([d/account]="AGGRMNT_YEAR") - RESULTLOOKUP([d/Date]=%Current_Year%)) >0

ENDIF

    What I understood from your demand, I would do like this.

    Assuming cars are the color of grapes "attribute".

    Quantity is your measure "Year of agreement".

    • Click in Add Measure, Create Calculation.
    • In Type select aggregation.
    • In operation the type of aggregation "Sum, Average".
    • In measure the Year of agreement.
    • Aggregation dimensions "color of grapes Attribute".
    • Click in conditional aggregation.
    • In dimension "color of grapes".
    • values or imput control "red".

    holp this helps

    if that's not what you need, let's talk more to understand the demand.

    thanks, it's not exactly what I need - the formula I use is very complex and needs a data action,
    the two "if" are the beginning of my formula but I cannot use them together.
