System: NetWeaver 7.5, BPC 10.0
I'm struggling with a script that seems like it should be pretty easy.
It is easiest to describe the problem laying it out like an EPM report/input form.
Rows: various cost centers
Columns: 16 months - the farthest right month is the current month and the columns to the left work their way back.
There are two groupings of columns. 16 months for ACCOUNT_X and 16 months for ACCOUNT_Y.
For any given month, I need to calculate ACCOUNT_X * ACCOUNT_Y and save it to a third account ACCOUNT_Z.
The problem is that I only want the last positive value for each cost center written to ACCOUNT_Z. For example, if the current month is March, then I want March's value if it is positive. If it is not positive (ie. zero or negative), then I want the value in February and so on until I get to the first column. It's this requirement that is giving me fits.
Please correct the primary tag! The correct is https://answers.sap.com/tags/01200615320800001016
Second:
You can use ternary operator to check for condition in REC
Search for "Vadim ternary" I have explained it number of times.
First - you have to change question tag - no relation to EPM add-in. Use bpc nw.
Second - the explanation is not 100% clear, add some screenshot with initial values and calculation results. In general it's possible to check value to be positive but not possible to check if it's first positive.
Thanks Vadim. I actually spent several minutes trying to find a BPC related tag. None appeared in the list, so I picked the closest thing I could find. I've included a screenshot that shows what I tried to describe. I want to only save the values in the rightmost column. I've spent the better part of today thinking about this problem and it boils down to one question. Can I use the value (maybe with a boolean comparison) to determine the destination intersection.
I realize the pseudocode below will not work, but I'm hoping it makes my question more clear:
*REC(EXPRESSION=(%VALUE%>0, then save to ACCOUNT_Z otherwise save to ACCOUNT_A))
I can't change the tag to anything BPC related. See attached image.
Unbelievable, is it so hard to copy the tag name from the link I post in my previous answer???
It's definitely not simply BPC :)
