Calculate a Field in script based on other calculated Fields

Hi  - I need to Calculate a Field based on previous fields I calculated in the script

I basically need to calculate [Net Available Stock]  based on [Stock IN], [Stock] and [Demand requested ] Calculated previously in the script.

Please see code sample bellow. if someone could help would be great. Many thanks 

 

NoConcatenate
Metrics:
Load
SuperKeyM,
DATA,
QTY,
DateKey as Week,
[Weekly Avarage],
Period
Resident MasterData;


//// Calculate supply In ////

Left Join(Metrics)
Load
SuperKeyM,
sum(QTY) as [Supply In]
Resident Metrics
Where DATA='SI'
Group by SuperKeyM;

////Calculate Stock ////

Left Join(Metrics)
Load
SuperKeyM,
sum(QTY) as [Stock]
Resident Metrics
Where DATA='ST'
Group by SuperKeyM ;

//// Calculate Demand past////
Left Join(Metrics)
Load
SuperKeyM,
sum(QTY) as [Demand Requested1]

Resident Metrics
Where Period<>'Future' and DATA='TD'
Group by SuperKeyM;

//// Calculate Demand Future////

Left Join(Metrics)
Load
SuperKeyM,
sum(QTY) as [Demand Requestedcalc2]

Resident Metrics
Where Period='Future' and DATA='TD'
Group by SuperKeyM;


/// Calculate Compare Demand With Avarage////

Left Join(Metrics)
Load
SuperKeyM,
If([Demand Requestedcalc2]>[Weekly Avarage],[Demand Requestedcalc2],[Weekly Avarage]) as [Demand Requested2]
Resident Metrics
Where Period='Future';

///////////////////////////////////////Doesn't work from here //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

/// Calculate Total Demand requested]

Left Join(Metrics)
Load
SuperKeyM,
[Demand Requested1] + [Demand Requested2] as [Demand requested]
Resident Metrics;

/////Calculate Net Available Stock /////

NoConcatenate
MetricsFinal:
Load
SuperKeyM,
[Supply In],
[Stock],
Week,
[Demand requested],
If(Week='W-13',(([Stock]+ [Supply In]) - ([Demand requested])), (((Peek([Net Available Stock])) +[Supply In])- ([Demand requested]))) as [Net Available Stock]
Resident Metrics;
Drop Table Metrics;

Not 100% sure on what output you are looking to get, but does this look like what you want?

What issue are you running into when you run your script? Does it errors out?

Hi Sunny - it does  load the fields [Demand requested] and [Net Available Stock]  but doesn't  return any value 

Thanks

sunny_talwar

Would you be able to provide sample data to see what might be the reason....

Is this the output you are getting? or is this sample data? It seems that Net Available Stock is already a field which is why it might be the output I feel... also where is Week field? Is DateKey = Week?

Hi Sunny, the first Table is a sample of the data, the second table is what i am getting with my script, also what i want to achieve but with correct values. Demand requested is returning all 0. If I Load fields Demand requested1 and Demand requested2  they return the correct values, but Demand Requested1 + Demand Requested1 = Demand requested  does not work

Yes, DateKey = Week

Many Thanks

sorry, I missed the tabs on the attached Excel.... checking it now
