AGGR question

salto — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 07:40:03 GMT

Hello all,

I have this table in my data model:

EmployeeID	DateID	T_minutes	A_Minutes	A_Code	Year	Month
03	01/01/2022	100	-	-	01	2022
03	02/01/2022	100	-	-	01	2022
03	02/01/2022	-	20	A1	01	2022
03	02/01/2022	-	50	A2	01	2022
04	01/01/2022	100	-	-	01	2022
04	02/01/2022	100	-	-	01	2022

I would need to summarize the T_minutes and A_minutes per Year, Month and A_Code.

Something like this pivot table:

As you can see, the T_minutes column has no values for some of the A_codes. It works fine if I collapse the columns.

Formulas are:

A_minutes =Sum ([A_minutes])
T_minutes = sum(aggr(Sum ([T_minutes]), Year, Month))

I would like to reflect the total T_minutes per Year and Month in the second column, but I cannot find the correct formula to do this. As you can see, some values are null.

Can this be achieved using AGGR with the above data model?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I can't full understand what are you trying to achieve, can you post an example of the result you want?

Hello Rubén,

many thanks for your answer.

This is what I get now if the chart is unexpanded: total A_minutes and T_minutes per Year and Month. Correct.

But when the Month is expanded and the Code is shown, this is what I get:

I would like the T_minutes column to show the total T_Minutes (2.287.748) for that Year-Month in every row, and not zeroes or the whole value in B2 (or any other code).

This is what we need:

Please let me know if my question is clear.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, understood.

Usually aggr() is used to make additonal group to the existing dimensions, when used in the opposite way, like this when all the parameters of aggr(year and month) exists as dimension and there is an additional dimension, it only shows by default the value on one of the rows.

To do this it will be better to use the TOTAl qualifier wich is used to ignore dimension, in this case this expression can be used: Sum(TOTAL <Year, Month> [T_minutes]).
