Script help needed

[#1]

I'm tracking employee hires and terminations in a single graph by month. My script looked like this:

AttritionDate_1:
[Employee ID],
[Term Date] AS [Action Date],
[Term Year] AS [Action Year],
[Term Month] AS [Action Month]
RESIDENT Terminations;
LOAD
[Employee ID],
[Hire Date] AS [Action Date],
[Hire Year] AS [Action Year],
[Hire Month] AS [Action Month]
RESIDENT Hires;



AttritionDate:
NoConcatenate LOAD
[Employee ID],
[Action Month],
[Action Date],
[Action Year]
RESIDENT AttritionDate_1;
DROP TABLE AttritionDate_1;

This worked perfectly, however now I need to add in Requisitions as well. The problem is that the requisitions aren't attached to an Employee ID, they have a Requisition Number instead, which needs to be kept separate from Employee ID's. Any thoughts on how to change my script to take this into account?

I would have Requisition Number, Action Month, Action Date, Action Year. I'm sure there's something simple that I'm missing, but I can't figure it out and I'm on a deadline.

I think you need to have a Requisition Number field added to employee table .

Seems you want to show Requisitions by Employee, you have to have some relationship there.

The problem is that the requisitions aren't necessarily linked to an employee that is in the employee table. They are a separate entity all together. We have employee terms and hires and then want to compare requisitions that have been posted against this.

For presentation, do you need to present them on a ID level.

or just an aggregate level.

I mean the total number for that month or day??

[#5]

Just on an aggregate level. The big problem is I need to show them all in a line graph. 3 lines (hires, terms and requisitions) by month for the current year. So, I need a "month" field that can be used in the graph, while still keeping each date separate.

In the chart, the expressions are:

Terminations:

count(distinct if([Term Year]=vCurYear and [Term Month]=[Action Month], [Distinct EMPLID]))

Hires:

count(distinct if([Hire Year]=vCurYear and [Hire Month]=[Action Month], [Distinct EMPLID]))

Requisitions:

count(distinct if([Requisition Year]=vCurYear and [Requisition Month]=[Action Month], [Requisition Number]]))

Additionally, this system is slow and using vast amounts of memory, so if there's a way to steamline this, please advise!

ok please try this:

just do a concatenate load of the requisition data.

use the field names as [action date] [action month] and [action year].

and the ID should be req ID/hire ID/ term ID

then chart can have

[action month] as dimension.

and the expressions will be something like:

count(${[action year] = "2010"} distinct <Term ID or Hire ID or Req ID>)

the ID should whatever the expression corresponds to.
