Missing Dimension

I want to populate a dimension even if it's missing in a year.

For example

In 2014 I have six models with sales

But in 2013 I only show 5 models because there are no sales for the sixth group. The users still want to see the group but with 0.

And when I do percentage change from 2014 to 2013 the sixth model is not shown because in 2013 the group is not there.

But instead they want to see 100% increase/change in 2014 since no sales for that model in 2013.

Hi.

So you have to add these zeros to your data model.

Use suppress when value null in the chart and uncheck  from the chart properties.

You are correct except that the previous year and current year are filter selections.

So Model is a dimension and I am counting sales with expression

=sum( sales) -- for current year

=sum({<season=,season=[Previous]>} sales) -- Previous year

= (sum(sales)- sum({<season=, season=[Previous]>}  sales))/ sum({<season=, season=[Previous]>}  sales) -- Percentage or difference between two years
