Populate field where value is 0.

Hello everyone,

My data looks like this:

Version jan fev mar apr may jun jul ago sep oct nov dec
Historic 450 500 500 550 400 350 200 150 400 500
W01 400 400 400 500 300 300 200 100 350 400 500 450
W30 250 250 100 300 450 400 500
W48 450 550

Every Week, I have a new forecast of what we expect to sell for the remaining of the year (W01 stands for the forecast that came out on week 1, W30 is the forecast that came out on the 30th week of the year, and so forth).

  • W30 only has values after June because it was released in June and it wouldn't make sense to have a forecast for what already happened. The same applies to W48 which was just released. W01 has values for all months because it was released on the first week of the year and was forecasting the whole year.
  • The HISTORICAL version is what we really sold each Month.

What I need to do, is to populate the months in the versions that are blank with the historical value.

Desired output would look like this:

Version jan fev mar apr may jun jul ago sep oct nov dec
Historic 450 500 500 550 400 350 200 150 400 500
W01 400 400 400 500 300 300 200 100 350 400 500 450
W30 450 500 500 550 400 250 250 100 300 450 400 500
W48 450 500 500 550 400 350 200 150 400 500 450 550

I need this for a chart that calculates the difference between any 2 selected versions. But as the dimension in this chart is not "Month" (it is some other dimension related to the material that is being sold) I can't do something like:

if(sum({<VERSION = {'vSelectedVersion1'}>}Sells)=0,

sum({<VERISION = {'HISTORICAL'}>}Sells),

sum({<VERSION = {'vSelectedVersion1'}>}Sells))

-

if(sum({<VERSION = {'vSelectedVersion2'}>}Sells)=0,

sum({<VERISION = {'HISTORICAL'}>}Sells),

sum({<VERSION = {'vSelectedVersion2'}>}Sells))

I can do this both by script or set analysis, whatever works.

Thank you.

can you use getfieldselection in the formula you have mentioned?
