Returns the number of data values in the specified data set (expList).
Syntax
@COUNT (SKIPNONE | SKIPMISSING | SKIPZERO | SKIPBOTH, expList)
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
SKIPNONE | Includes all cells specified in expList, regardless of their content, during calculation of the count. |
SKIPMISSING | Excludes all #MISSING values from expList during calculation of the count. |
SKIPZERO | Excludes all zero (0) values from expList during calculation of the count. |
SKIPBOTH | Excludes all zero (0) values and #MISSING values from expList during calculation of the count. |
expList | Comma-delimited list of member specifications, variable names, functions, or numeric expressions. |
Notes
The @COUNT function always returns an integer greater than or equal to 0.
Example
The following example is based on the Sample Basic database. Assume that the Measures dimension contains an additional member, Prod Count. This example calculates the count of all products for which a data value exists and uses the @RANGE function to generate expList:
FIX(Product) "Prod Count" = @COUNT(SKIPMISSING,@RANGE(Sales,@CHILDREN(Product))); ENDFIX
This example produces the following report. Since SKIPMISSING is specified in the calculation script, the #MI values for Diet Drinks are skipped during the product count.
