Multiple calendar and aggregation problem

alexis — Sat, 04 Apr 2015 00:03:09 GMT

Hi all,

I am sure this is a common problem - let me explain. In the diagram below you can see that I am using 3 separate calendars one each for Deliveries, Orders and Shipments.

In the "blue" table (below) I am combining "Orders" (from the Order Calendar) and "Deliveries" from the "Delivery Calendar" (both shown in yellow) using the Dimension "Month Year" from an unconnected calendar called "Calendar" (shown in pink above) and then using syntax of the type:

aggr(

if(MonthYear = [Order MonthYear],

sum(Orders.Counter)

) ,MonthYear ,[Order MonthYear]) for "Orders" and

aggr(

if(MonthYear = [Delivery MonthYear],

sum(Orders.Counter)

) ,MonthYear ,[Delivery MonthYear]) for "Deliveries"

So far so good - all works fine and the numbers are correct.

Choosing a "Country" from the list box yields the correct results in the blue table.

My requirement, however, is to extend the "blue" table to show Orders and Deliveries for each country for every month (see pink table above). The resultant pivot table is incorrect - any help would be most appreciated. I attach the above demo application with data.

Best regards

Alexis

Thank you very much Bhagirath.

that's because your aggr function was running on only one dimension and in chart you were looking for data with respect to both the dimensions..

Good to know that this solves your problem...

Cheers...!!!
