Power Formulas in Cube Views / Dimension Formulas / Business Rules?

We'd like to calculate CAGR in cube views, is there a formula to use in the cube views? If there are formulas that only work for dimension members and business rules I'm also happy to hear, then link...

    Hello, please use Math.Pow(x,y) to handle this inside a Member formula or Business Rule.

     

    result = Math.Pow(x, y)
    x, y

    Data Type: Double

    Return Value

    A Double that is x (the base) raised to the power y (the exponent)

    We had implemented complex statistical calculations using this function to handle power calculations.

    Hope this helps.

NidhiMangtani  - Do you know a way to give raise in CV's? in GetDataCells?

    Hello Pahul,

    Please quantify your requirement a bit for me, raise by 10%, 20%, x%, etc would be simple multiplication using CVR/CVC formula.

        Hi Pahul,

        As per my understanding, Onestream does not interpret '^' symbol as exponent calculation like we use in VB.Net so we resorted to using Math.Pow(a,b). For using the same in CVs, you can have dynamic calc accounts which internally have exponent computation using Math.Pow(a,b).

        Hope this helps.
