Calculated Key Figures based on Attributes

[Former Member]

Hi

In one of our queries we need to create a calculated key figure based on an attribute. Any suggestions on the best way to do this?

I have looked at a Virtual Key Figure, but because our Cube name contains underscores (_) it shortdumps. Is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance.

The short dump can be avoided by using the BAdI version of virtual key figures. For this you need to implement the BAdI RSR_OLAP_BADI.

You might want to check it out if it fits your case.

Thanks that fixed it. Obviously the replacement path will only work with attributes that are key figures or characteristics of type NUMC or DATE/TIME.

Hi,

what do you mean with calculated key figure based on an attribute? Is your attribute a characteristic in the cube or is it just a attribute of a characteristic? Let me know more details.
