One row in my cube view is calculating a strange variance and variance %.
I am subtracting an account member from a parent account in my Row member filter builder. Dep, & Amort is included in my SG&A parent and I want to report separately. However, my variance column and Var % calculation is off. It is the only row having this issue. Also, I am not able to get the currency presented in the row.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Hi Denis, I think you are trying to achieve something like my example below:
Compared to your settings, I have changed two things - I have two columns, one with CY and one with PY and I use CVC for the variance calculations (you can do the same using only one column but you need to use indexes).
More important, I am using row overrides on the two calculated column (otherwise the row formula takes over)
Please let me know if that works for you as well.
Hi Jennings,
Can you check if your SG&A account is setup properly as it isn't showing currency also BW calculations consider account type during calculation.

I appreciate the quick reply. SG&A is setup as an expense.
Hi Jack, appreciate the response. Thank you.
I believe that I made the updates you suggested but I'm still getting the same issues.

Hi Julia, your issue is similar in a way that you have formulas in both the rows and the columns? And you would like the column calculation to override the row calculation?
In this case, you can use a row override on your column like in my example:
Please let me know if that helps.
Thanks,
