In my application I have a balance table for the month and transactions that are generated that apply to the month. What I want to do is sum the balances over time but not have it inflated by the transactions for that month. I believe this falls into the classic case of header / detail, because the detail has been purged, I no longer can just some the detail. I'm a newbie so I'm not sure how to enter the expression.
Thanks
Are you using Plant as a dimension? If you are not and a product is in more than one plant you will get the weight twice.
You could try this and see how it works.
sum(aggr(sum(end_balance * weight),plant_name, close_period))
If this does not help can you post a copy of your actual script?
Yes, that is where I made my mistake, when I setup the data structure I
removed the key fields from the header and left them in the detail. Once
I swapped which table the fields were coming from everything came back
into order.
Thanks for your help.

It sounds like you are joining the tables. If you use a keep instead of
join and your expression comes from the header table you should get the
correct results.

is one of the name of your fields in your transaction table cost or
balance?

Hi
I am still not clear on the details of your data structure so its hard to
make specific suggestions. Could you post an example file?
Regards
Jonathan
