Hi folks,
I have the following situation:
- Characteristics as line items, shown as a hierarchie.
- KFs and Formulars in columns
I want the formulars to be calculated on the basis of a combination of two of the characteristics (the bottom two in the lines hierarchy) and then aggregated.
Exception aggregation allows me to choose "total" based on one characteristic, but not a combination of two.
One solution would be, of course, to create a new characteristic in the cube that is a combination of the two existing characteristics in question and then use this for exception aggregation. This would be a bit complicated though, as the two characteristics are in fact navigational attributes of characteristics that appear in the data source and the cube.
Therefore, I'd prefer a solution that is in the scope of query designer rather than cube design.
Any ideas?
PS: The formulars show correct values on the level of the bottom most characteristic in the lines hierarchy if I choose that characteristic for exception aggregation. The results are not correct one level up from there as I can not get the system to sum the results up along the hierarchy. Instead, they are calculated for the aggregated values of the KFs used in the formular.
Apparently the "show lines as hierarchy" function really only affects display of the lines, not calculations.
