I want to calculate Quarterly growth AMOUNT for each quarter of 'REPORT_QUARTER' based on maximum of 'D_MONTH' for all years of 'REPORT_YEAR' based on dimensions DIV, FLAG, P_GRP, C_GRP, O_LOB, F_LOB, REPORT_YEAR, REPORT_QUARTER.

I want to display the result data in straight table as below for DIV=10, FLAG=A, P_GRP=P1, C_GRP=C1, O_LOB=LOB1, F_LOB=FLOB1 for all years. With below REPORT_YEAR, QUARTER multibox filter.

If user select year '1995', user should be able to see Quarterly GROWTH of -50 which is based on latest D_MONTH '081995' of REPORT_QUARTER's 091995 & 121995, likewise for other years.

Can anybody please help. Thanks in Advance. Thanks for your time.

Note: I cannot paste screenshot or developed application due to environment restrictions and confidentiality of data.

You can take the above table data as below.

Load *,MakeDate(Right(D_MONTH,4),left(D_MONTH,2)) as DATE;

LOAD DIV,

     FLAG,

     PARENT_GRP,

     CHILD_GRP,

     O_LOB,

     F_LOB,

     REPORT_YEAR,

     REPORT_QUARTER,

     D_YEAR,

     D_MONTH,

     AMOUNT

Thank you very much. The solution is as expected.

If you dont mind, I have another query on the same set of data.

   

I have filters as above, My selections are

From_Report_year : 1995

From_Report_Qtr  :  91995

To_Report_year  :    1996

To_Report_Qtr   :    91996

I want to Calculate Growth difference of only the matching D_MONTH values under the selected quarters. Here it is

650 (81995) - 150 (81995) = 500.

How I can implement this ? Is that I need to frame two master calendars on data ?

Can you please help me. Your thoughts and inputs are very much appreciated and helpful.

You can use alternate state to achieve this, see attached, you may need some changes to meet your specific requirements -

Thanks. I will check. but in addition to matching rows, I also need to show un-matching rows(where the difference would be null).

So I think this might be achieved only at back end script.

For sample date selections, this should be the result table.

'Difference' result calculations are coming correctly,

but I need to achieve the exact format of Result table(with columns D_YEAR,D_MONTH,AMOUNT,Difference).

Can this be achieved at backend script ? in any possible way ?

I tried assigning flags in script, but that didn't work for me.

using back end script ? Can you please help.

[Digvijay_Singh]

I think you don't need further work in script as required fields are already available to process what you need, let me try today sometime, was thinking of using addyear(Date,-1) to calculate the amount of last year for difference calculation.

[Anonymous]

ok. In sample data I have given two years for difference calculation. I have historical data (multiple years) where there is chance of comparing between 30-40 yrs.
since historical data is huge, I think front end logic will give performance issue, and looking for back end script logic.

[Digvijay_Singh]

Ok, make sense, will do something today on this.

[Digvijay_Singh]

I could manage to calculate difference in script, check below -
