Key Figures and Aggregation options

Posted on Feb 02, 2005 at 10:28 PM 27 Views

Hi All,

There are three aggregation options:Minimum,Maximum,Sum on the Aggregation Tab when creating a Key Figure on the Admin Work Bench. I understand that these aggregation rules are set for the Key figure BEx default settings. Does this affect at all how the data is loaded into the cube?

Another question. If I have a Key Figure that I have set to Maximum, and would like to change to Sum.. Do I need to unload the data in the cube and load it again?

Thanks.

    Indeed: these are report relevant settings only.

    I'm not sure about this one: Since it's a report-relevant setting only, i wonder there would be a reason why all the cubes where the KF is used should be empty...

    (you can always change the setting directly in table RSDKYF, field AGGRGEN)

    Hi,

    it is not possible to change the aggregation option of a keyfigure when it is already used in a cube and data loaded to the cube.

    regards

      I was able to edit the table RSDKYF and change the value for the Key Figure on field AGGRGEN. It changed from Maximun to Summantion. Howvere, when I execute the queries, I did not notice any change in the way that the Key Figure is aggregarate.

      Thanks
