Structuring an hierachic accounts plan

[#1]

Hi,

I need in QV to create an hierarchic structure data, to represent the accounts plan of a company. You think to an Invoiced measure. As a root, I could have the total invoiced of the company, but this total is composed from various voices fe invoiced due to personnel work or a sold asset. The final structure sounds like a tree structure: each node could have two or more underlying nodes and so on. I must start from a "linear" table that contains these measures on the columns. Then I must show the measures on a chart as rows and not as columns, possibly expanding total invoiced to show the components of this total invoiced and so on.

Any suggests to me, please? Thanks

The goal is to create a chart to show the measures in a similar manner:

Hi Hope this example helps you understand Hierarchy and how to implement it.

Hi, thanks.

I'm not clear how to feed ReportsPath.

However, I have a SQL table with all measures saved rows by rows. These table has a primary key composed of projectid, year and month.

Do I transform my SQL table in another one? I need to put into the chart year and month as two dimensions.

Do I need to implement an hierarchic structure data or does it exist another manner to reach my goal?

Thanks

Hi,

I think that using an hierarchy it isn't the right solution. I don't have a table with each row for each node.

I have tried to simulate the effective SQL table in this simple mode:

load * inline [
MARGIN, MarginAmount, INVOICED, InvoicedAmount, COSTS, CostsAmount
MARG, 2, INV, 3, COST, 2
MARG, 3, INV, 5, COST, 5
MARG, 1, INV, 3, COST, 5
MARG, 2, INV, 1, COST, 1
];

When I put on a pivot chart MARGIN, INVOICED and COSTS as dimensions and sum(InvoicedAmount) as an expression, I have INVOICED as the child of MARGIN dimension and COSTS as the child of INVOICED dimension, but also COSTS is a child of MARGIN.

Any helps to me, please?

Hi.

I've solved the issue. I have loaded onto a new table to render the initial flat table a table with a kind of account type and the related amount. I have implemented a parent-child hierarchy starting from the sample qvw provided me.

Thanks
