Bob Thank you for reply. You asked me if your example if what I meant. No, not at all. The reason for this is because all such parameters can already be compared inside BW (excel's addon). As soon as I am required to choose WHICH parameters must be compared (parameter1 vs parameter2 OR filter1 vs. filter2 etc) then this is pointless because NO time is saved. I can already do everything like this inside BW and much more.
The main feature of the tool I am asking for is possibility that I don't need to define WHAT to compare because everything must be compared:
- every filter with every other filter (level one of comparison)
- every filter's parameter with every other filter's parameter (level two)
- every filter's parameter's value with every other filter's parameter's value (level three)
even the filters/parameters that are NOT enabled for view of table must also be compared. This BW addon, not just it is isolated in excel but also very customized.
The goal of having such tool I am asking for is simply defining only WHAT counts as being out of order. Thats all. However I would expect from tool some reports where I wouldn't need to define numerical value: ''what counts as being out of order'' for example (only random chosen example) in report of the tool I would like to see answer on:
''Why are being too many newcommers refused in particular company with job applications?''
I wanted to show in YOUR example (table) what would I define in the tool I am looking for but you are showing only 2 filters and 8 parameters. Impossible to provide case on your example - im having few thousands filters and few tens of thousands of parameters. If I try to anyway, just to be as much as possible understandable, I would define in the tool (in your example) something like (note: with your comment ''positive responses'' I am assuming something like well learned lecture related to the lessons topic number 21 as you said):
''What is causing asian people from 36 to 50 years old to have so many troubles in understanding the lectures on topic 21 comparing to asian people from 18 to 21 years old - could be wrong books used? could be they missing during the class? why would they ignore the class? why 18 to 21 years old attended the class then? etc''
But all those answers can be gathered obviously only from filters (enabled or not, doesn't matter). So for the latest question in quoted text there should be something like:
filter: class attending (further directly related to your two filters)
parameter1: reason/goal of attending the lecture
parameter2: interest for attending the lecture
Hopefully now im little more understandable. Once again: In the tool I am looking for I should only need to define:
If numerical definition needed: Define the boundaries
If numerical definition NOT needed: Defining what kind of report I want
BUT I definitely don't want to define what filters/parameters to compare. Otherwise for sure no time is saved.
