I have a report that uses it's own conditions to calculate a value. Is their a way to over-ride the blank/data cell in cube view, and have it run a simple IF conditional calculation?
Most of these conditional calculation are for KPI's (basically forecasting for 2023 and on..).
One of the condition within excel I'm referencing.
Would appreciate your suggestions. Thank you!
Best,
Mustafa
Hi Mustafa,
If you have the CV hosted in a dashboard then a simple button to run through to a Business Rule would be your best approach. Here you can bring in your variables then run the IF function to set a different formula dependant on if you X value is greater or smaller then your Y value. Typically the sub would look like the below (note this is a very simplified version):
Dim Xi as integer = api.data.getdatacell({intersection for X}).cellamount * (1 + api.data.getdatacell{intersection for I}).cellamount
Dim Y as integer = api.data.getdatacell({intersection for Y}).cellamount
api.data.clearcalculated(true, true, true, true, "{intersection to calculate to}")
If Y > Xi then
api.data.calculate([intersection to calculate to] = Y)
Else
api.data.calculate([intersection to calculate to] = X)
End if
Regards,
Ed
