Hi,
unless the number of combinations is known and limited, using case when
function could become a nightmare.

QGIS 2.16 provides aggregates functions (
http://qgis.org/fr/site/forusers/visualchangelog216/index.html#feature-aggregate-support-for-expressions)
that I think would help to do this but I'm unable to find the right syntax,
if ever.

Regards,
Harrissou
