Very clever way of filtering by summing the cell values.

I was trying to sum row tickets if they comply with the criteria. Is there a way to check if the cell is not empty? Isnumber() multiplied the other cell with -1.

Didn't know the filter used in the solution so I used 3 filters instead. 😄 Now I know how I can filter easily with this kind of data. Thanks!

 

My answer was wrong at first since I put salad and soup as sides too. hehe.

Here is my solution.

I solved it with filters and joins and sticked to the hints for the date: >2013-06-30 to get the right figures.

Finally got it right. Good practice for sum function. I have learnt to use 1 and 0 by going through some of previous solution.

It was wierd that the same formula did not work in the first go. After I restart Alteryx, it worked.

Contains([Concat_Type], "Drink") && Contains([Concat_Type], "Side") &&
(
Contains([Concat_Type], "Burger") ||
Contains([Concat_Type], "Pizza")
)
