Enhanced Basics and Example Scenarios for Conditions
In this section, we will explain enhanced basics for using conditions in connection with two structures, active presentation hierarchies and hierarchically displayed axes, illustrated with example scenarios.
Take note of the following when using conditions if you are using two structures, active presentation hierarchies, the function Display as Hierarchy on axes or the property Suppress Results Rows in a query:
- In queries with two structures, you can also apply the conditions the same way you do with queries with one structure: The structural components of both structures are available for selection in the definition.
SeeQuery with Two Structures and Threshold Value Conditions: And/Or-Linking andQuery with Two Structures and Ranked-List Conditions.
- Ranked list conditions are not possible in queries with active presentation hierarchies (= rule 7). Threshold conditions for single characteristics and characteristic combinations are possible, however.
SeeQuery with a Presentation Hierarchy and Conditions andQuery with Two Presentation Hierarchies and Conditions.
- Ranked list conditions and threshold value conditions are possible in queries with a hierarchically displayed axis, but only when the hierarchical display is expanded up to the specific characteristic. Conditions for characteristic combinations in a query with a hierarchically displayed axis are not possible.
The following table shows which types of conditions are possible in the various queries and what you need to watch for, for example, when you use active presentation hierarchies in the query.
