Hi Rochak, firstly, the pointerFilter should have a different internalName. Secondarily, I just realised that this wont solve your problem as you need different qualifiers (<= and >=) which effectively means two different filters pointing to a common filed. The problem you reported earlier was that MartEditor does not let you export if two filters point to the same field, which is a fairly reasonable use case. apologies i misunderstood it.
Let me speak to the team and see if we cant remove this check which prevents the export when two filters point to the same field. Meanwhile, if its not a lot of work, you can resolve it by introducing another column in your Mart table having the same data, and point the second filter to this field. Hideous but a quick solution. Martians: If somebody has a better idea, please do write. cheers Syed On Mon, 2007-12-17 at 11:22 -0800, Rochak Neupane wrote: > > > On Dec 15, 2007 2:00 AM, Syed Haider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi David, > > > On Fri, 2007-12-14 at 17:15 -0800, David Goodstein wrote: > > I have gene family property, which is the number of > representatives > > of a particular species in the family.
