Can you set more than one limit on the same component?

I have an active peak, boss wants a chart which shows target, upper and lower values. No problem- just select them in the Limits tab. But she also wants to track any values that are 20% over/under target. My main chart will be a target of 100 with a plus/minus 10% error but for this 20% error, is it best to just create a separate control chart and give it a new title or can you select the component again and add this further 20% limit? I cant imagine that would all go in the graph together?

    Yes, if the custom field has been setup to use as text, when selecting it under the filtering conditions you will get a drop down list of our enumerated translations. Pick the appropriate translation depending upon the table.

    You would just have something like a dual sided custom field.

    Example:

    Use an Enumerated custom field to use as text:

    EQ(RANGE(Parameter,90,110), EQ(RANGE(Parameter(80,89.999)|EQ(RANGE(Parameter, 10.001,120).

    Translations would be "within 10%" and "within 20%".

    I didn't think Empower was capable of charting data, so this approach would be a manual mining of data based upon the text result the custom field generates.

    You could always filter on a large scale using reports ... which is probably how you are generating a control chart now that I think about it.

    So, your chart filter report would use the custom field about to generate two separate chanrt. One when the custom field equals "within 10%" and the other when the custom field equals "within 20%".

    That should do it for you.

    Thanks shaunwat, that would work I'm sure. For that peak enum custom field, is there a way to further filter it in report method so I could average/min/max the samples that fell into the "Within 30%" answer in the translation table?
    I read something about string comparison using custom fields where something like SUM(EQ(Custom_Field,"Within 30%") would sum all the values that fell into this category?
    But that would probably just add up all the values, really I'm looking for just something like EQ(Custom_Field,"Within 30%") and filter all these values in a report table in order to do Max/Min etc? Can I filter a peak custom field this way?

    Get the tables into your report. Filter data into your tables based upon translations in the ENUM field. 

    To get your min/max/average, just apply these functions to the appropriate column within your report. Empower has the summary functions that you are requesting built into reporting.

    HI shaunwat, when you say to filter data into tables based upon translations in ENUM field, can this be done under the filtering conditions so something like Result_Value = Within 25%. That can by typed into the filter box?
