Expression Question

[danielnevitt]

Hi,

I am trying to match costs/revenues based on the following logic:

Match 'Cost (Payable)' with 'Revenue (Receivable)' (field COST_REVENUE_IND) on the same COST_CD and EXTENDED_AMT.

Also is it possible to match on EXTENDED_AMT (with a 10% variance)?

Lastly I would also like to be able to restrict the straight table to only show records where the % Variance from Mean is a certain % say 100%

Any pointers as to how to approach the above will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

it's all in one table, is it?

Well, I would consider splitting it into two tables (by filtering on COST_CD and EXTENDED_AMT) and then joining on those fields - or sorting the table by those two fields.

=> With the first approach (joining) and a variance, join on only COST_CD and put EXTENDED_AMT (with the 10%) in a WHERE_clause.

=> When you stick with one table and sort it, you can use the PREVIOUS() function to calculate the variance.

Hi DataNibbler,

Thank you for your reply.

Are you able to post an example of what you mean?

Ideally I want to show pairs of data where the EXTENDED_AMT and COST_CD are the same, but the COST_REVENUE_IND are different.  Hope that makes sense.

Thanks,

Daniel
