Practice Exercise 60

Postby elrcie » Wed Oct 09, 2019 2:48 am

Hi
=COUNTROWS(FILTER(Products,[Total Sales]>0 && [Total Sales]<10000))

Seems to work without Calculate. Is there any reason that this is also not an acceptable solution?

Thanks!

The above is perfectly fine. In this case it is the same, in other cases this won’t work. Eg what are the total sales of these products? In that case you need to keep the filter and use calculate.

Many thanks! Yes, I understand if the purpose was to total sales, calculate would be required. Again, thanks!
