Hello, please can someone explain why these two measures produce different results (something to do with the AND/OR but I don't understand why these would differ)? (I am reposting this as I made an error in my original post)
measure 1 check (no.) =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( fct_core[colour] ),
fct_core[type] = 1
|| fct_core[type] = 2
|| fct_core[type] = 3
&& fct_core[colour] = 5
|| fct_core[colour] = 6
|| fct_core[colour] = 7
|| fct_core[colour] = 8
)
and:
measure 2 check (no.) =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( fct_core[colour] ),
fct_core[type] >= 1
&& fct_core[type] <= 3
&& fct_core[colour] = 5
|| fct_core[colour] = 6
|| fct_core[colour] = 7
|| fct_core[colour] = 8
)
thanks,
A
Suppose you have type 2 and color 4. Then measure 1 would count it but not measure 2.
Note that your logical combination
T1 || T2 || T3 && C5 || C6 || C7 || C8
is equivalent to
T1 || T2 || (T3 && C5) || C6 || C7 || C8
not as I think you intended
(T1 || T2 || T3) && (C5 || C6 || C7 || C8)
I'd rewrite the measure as
check (no.) = CALCULATE ( COUNT ( fct_core[colour] ), fct_core[type] IN { 1, 2, 3 }, fct_core[colour] IN { 5, 6, 7, 8 } )

That is really helpful, thanks Alexis and for stackoverflow too!
