Using Percent Ownership in a member formula

[Larry_Manekin]

Hi,

This formula is working, but it's returning 100% for each Entity. Is there something I'm missing regarding Entity? Will this work in a member formula or only in a business rule?

Dim entity As String = api.pov.entity.Name
Dim entityID As String = api.pov.entity.MemberID
Dim OwnValue As Decimal = api.entity.percentOwnership(entityID)

If ((Not api.Entity.HasChildren()) And (api.Cons.IsLocalCurrencyforEntity())) Then
api.Data.Calculate("A#NCI_IS:V#Periodic:F#EndBalLoad:O#None:I#None:U1#None:U2#None:U3#None:U4#None:U5#None:U6#None:U7#None:U8#None= "& _
"RemoveZeros(A#Income_Loss_before_Noncontrolling_Interests:V#Periodic:C#Local:F#EndBalLoad:O#Top:I#Top:U1#Top:U2#Top:U3#None:U4#None:U5#None:U6#None:U7#Top:U8#None * ( ("& OwnValue &")))")
End If

Ownership percentages are relationship (parent/child) specific. Your formula currently only runs on base and local, which is not relationship specific. You will need to pass a specific parent in for the entity you want the ownership value for. The api you are using to get ownership rate has a second argument you can pass through for parent. In my experience, those calculations run on different consolidation members (not Local but something like OwnerPreAdj, Share, OwnerPostAdj, etc).
