VERY FRUSTRATED

Can anyone help with the following:
I want to count where the value of one of its measure objects is equal to “X”. The measure object is actually a variable that was created within the report itself. When I try to Count() Where (=“X”) it gives me syntax errors or incorrect data type. This did not seem like it would be a difficult task but as I have been reminded of over and over in BO, it is always more cumbersome than it appears. And as usual, HELP was anything but… Thanks for any suggestions.

I think you should use

Count( Where (=“X”) ) ‘)’ is different or
Count( if =“X” then ) this should produce the same result

in stead of

Count() Where (=“X”)

The biggest problem however is that this only works if Object1 is a measure (if not syntax error) and variable1 a dimension

One possible solution :
create a variable CountObject : =if =“X” then 1 else 0 and now =sum(CountObject) should do the work

Op this helps
