Cube View Parametric driven column
I have a cube view that I need to modify so that in the second column we are getting data that is driven by the selection that the user makes for the first column.
For example if the user selects a forecast for February to be in the first column, then the second column of the cube view would have to be the previous month’s forecast.
Do you have any suggestions on how to achieve this view?
Thank you in advance for any help and suggestions!
I am going to attach some views of what I have in here so far (The second column reads OP plan as I have copied this view from another similar Cube View).
Our consultant showed me to use Text attribute for scenario to get prior forecast. So in Jan_FCST, if you assign Text1 attribute as Feb_FCST, then in your OP filter, you can retrieve S#Fcsts.base.Where(Text1 = |!param_FCST!|). This setup allow when users select Feb_FCST for Forecast column, OP column will retrieve S#Fcsts.base.Where(Text1 = Feb_FCST) which would be Jan_FCST).
This works for cube view, but our users want to use this setup for quick view. However I don't know of a way to make parameter prompt in quick view. If anyone has any tips to apply this for quick view, please advise. Thank you!
I agree with aricgresko on perhaps using an XFBR business rule. The below code could be optimized in many ways, but should work for what you need. This way you do not need to use/manage any text values.
"YourRuleNameHere" will equal what you named your XFBR business rule, ensure whatever you named it matches the XFBR call you place in the cube view.
XFBR Cube View Line Call (What you would put on your cube view line instead of "S#|!param_FCST!|"):
XFBR(YourRuleNameHere, GetPriorFcst, CurrentFcst=|!param_FCST!|)
Create an XFBR Business Rule and paste in the following code:
