Using Alerters by means of a variable (R3.0)

40 Views

HI All,

I'm a recent user of Webi and I was trying to use Alerters to format cells that verify some given condition.

I have several reports (multiple WEBI documents from same Universe) that I need to "upgrade".

I started by creating a variable (as dimension). Something like this

AlertThis_var = If( [ThisValue] > 5; 1; 0 )

Then I define the Alerter as below and apply it to the dimensions I require in the Block

AlertThis_alert = AlertThis_var Equal to 1

Note that the Variable (AlertThis_var) Must NOT to be on the report.

The problem is that, that worked out well for some reports, but for others the variable MUST be on the block on order to the Alerter to operate.

Does any one can give some hint about what it happening? Why does it work in some reports (webi document) and not on others (using the same Universe)?

Thank you very much for your help.
