Derivative logical operator issue

Trying to create simple rule based on value greater than or less than zero, however only my Negative rule successful.

A#[ACC1]=ACC1_POS | Create If > x | Final and A#[ACC1]=ACC1_NEG | Create If < x | Final

On the above stated expression type, I first tried to specify the Math Value only as 0, however nothing happened. Only when I changed it to 0.01, did the logic start to work.

Now, if the source value is a negative, the second derivative rule works (returning ACC1_NEG), but if I put through a positive source value, it does not create ACC1_POS

a bit stumped on this one now. 

Any suggestions someone can perhaps suggest? 

cheers, Jacques

  • Got to the bottom of this with the help from Francisco (Curro) Tores of Inlumi. 

    The specific cube we are submitting into, was setup with specific Integration settings on some Scenario members, where it has 4 additional Attribute Value Dimensions.

    On the Data Source config side, these fields had no reference associated with it, i.e. column number linked to an Amount. When specifying this detail, and then also flagging each field as False for 'Zero Suppresion', the derivative rules started working as expected.

    Hi Jacques

    It works for me. I created derivatives same as you - the Math Value is 0:

    And that gives me these 2 extra rows:

    What source data do you have?

      I have it setup in the manner you replicated. On the rule that works, I have it setup as follows:

      As soon as I change the value to only 0, it doesn't create the _NEG account.

      I'm uploading a CSV file, which nothing looks out of place on, as I can see all the values being Imported.

      The positive rule that's not triggering, I have setup similarly:

      I am working with a provided CSV file, so perhaps I'll continue testing with a newly created 2 line file.

        New CSV file with only 4 lines of data results in similar outcomes. Only negative values are transformed to desired account.
