How to create static dimension in pivot table (QV)

Hello All,

I am facing issue in achieving a requirement in QV.

I am using a pivot table and I am dragging my Month Field on the top and taking rolling 12 month sum(Revenue) as expression.

I want to keep my rolling 12 month static and should show ‘0’ if a particular user doesn’t have any value corresponding to that product and Month.

Currently whenever I select any user it shows value to only those Months and products for which he have values.

When All Users selected:

Since you're not sharing any (reduced) document, i'll give you a highly simplified example.

Imagine that you have a facts table called Facts with Month_Key, Product and Amount. Add a temporary key to your facts table, consisting of the combined values of Month_Key and Product in each row, for instance Prduct & '|' & Month_Key AS Temp_Key. The facts table should be resident before executing the following statements.

// Create Increment to facts

Increment:

NOCONCATENATE DISTINCT Product RESIDENT Facts;

LEFT JOIN (Increment) Month_Key RESIDENT Facts;

// Concatenate increment to Facts but only the missing rows

CONCATENATE (Facts)

LOAD Month_Key, Product, 0 AS Amount

RESIDENT Increment

WHERE Not Exists(Temp_Key, Product & '|' & Month_Key);

// Cleanup

DROP Table Increment

DROP Field Temp_Key;

Best,

Peter

Hi settu,

I want to make selection on User level.Some users may may data for all the 12 months, but some may not.

So what i want to do is when i select a User who dosent have sales for particular month, the table should show '0' over there and should not get disappeared from the table.

How about creating Zero-records for all periods and all users in your script? That may not look like the most advanced solution (in terms of expression complexity or intelligence) but it allows you to keep the user interface simple and transparent.
