Hi,

I have a calculated dimension like the following

aggr(sum({<xxx=,Date={"$(vVariable)"}>}YYYY),AAA,BBB))

I want to print negative value in Red. so in text color I put the below code

if(  aggr(sum({<xxx=,Date={"$(vVariable)"}>}YYYY),AAA,BBB)))<0,RGB(255,0,0),black()

As a result I am getting some negative value as red and some negative value are not in red. This is very strange .

Even if I put NUM function before the aggr the result is same.

Any help much appreciated.

I may not be having all possible scenarios, but I tried with a very simple sample and I don't see any issues, expect some misplaced parenthesis which could be typos as you mentioned that it worked in some of the cases

Would you be able to share a sample where you can show that it isn't working?

Hi Ashis,

In that case create this dimension in script: The issue is happening because at dimension level the aggregation is not happening as expected.

Script:

Load

Key, //create a key to join with the main table

AAA as AAA1 //to eliminate synthetic key

BBB as BBB1,

sum(YYYY) as Dimension 1

resident table

group by key,AAA, BBB;

No in the pivot use Dimension 1 filed as dimension.

This should fix your issue.

Hi Sunny,

In my pivot chart I have few calculated dimensions and few expressions . I think problem is it is not properly interpreting the numeric value.

for some it is showing correct and for sum it is not showing correct.

dimension =num(aggr(sum({<xxx=,Date={"$(vVariable)"}>}YYYY),AAA,BBB,CCC)),'#,##0;-#,##0')

color code :

if(sum(aggr(sum({<xxx=,Date={"$(vVariable)"}>}YYYY),AAA,BBB,CCC)))<0RGB(255,0,0),black())

I tried with few other functions such as

if(subfield(trim(text(sum(aggr(sum({<xxx=,Date={"$(vVariable)"}>}YYYY),AAA,BBB,CCC))))),1)='-1',rgb(255,0,0),black())

However it is not working.

Won't really know unless I see a sample...

[pradosh_thakur]

what about

dimension= aggr(sum({<xxx=,Date={"$(vVariable)"}>}YYYY),AAA,BBB)

color

=if(  aggr(sum({<xxx=,Date={"$(vVariable)"}>}YYYY),AAA,BBB)=fabs(aggr(sum({<xxx=,Date={"$(vVariable)"}>}YYYY),AAA,BBB)),black(),RGB(255,0,0)    )

Hi Pradosh,

It was great idea, however for some value it is not working

See the attached image.

try this,

if(  left(aggr(sum({<xxx=,Date={"$(vVariable)"}>}YYYY),AAA,BBB),1)='-', red(),black())

place minus sign in single quotes...

Hi John,

I had tried that one too, it does not work.

It worked now.

Aggr function does not work in calculated dimension how I was using, so removing aggr , gave me correct result.
