first herarchical leveldeeper hirarchical levelHi,

I'm trying to find a way to solve a problem I encountered during the creation of my dashboard. I'll try to explain the situation at my best.

I have a dataset composed by two separate tables, one collecting Measures of devices(each device has it's one id code called Mu_Device), and one called Multimetri containing the devices information and hierarchical information aswell. The tabels are linked with a unique key (device's id code).

Immagine i have two devices "D1" and "D2" measuring energy consumpsion on the same power grid but two diffrent levels, one measuring the total and the other only a part of the network, so that D1=D2+k where k is the energy consuption that I need to calculate. Easy right? k=D1-D2

Currently due to herarchical classification the value of k is displayed in the correct "herarchical category " altough labled as Null

How can I create a new Multimetri row having k as value? NOTE: measure values are not contained in the same table.

I will attach some example data:

Multimetri table:

Mu_Descr_Device	Mu_Load	Mu_Tipo_Vettore	Mu_Gateway	Mu_Device	NodeId	ParentId
GENERAL_POD	Forza Motrice+Luci	Elettrico	10.41.26.0	0	0

Verniciatura	Forza Motrice+Luci	Elettrico	10.41.26.19	13	3	0
Illuminazione Assemblaggio	Luci	Elettrico	10.41.26.23	19	4	1
Illuminazione Imballaggi	Luci	Elettrico	10.41.26.27	20	5	6
Imballaggio	Forza Motrice+Luci	Elettrico	10.41.26.27	7	6	0
Illuminazione Magazzino PF	Luci	Elettrico	10.41.26.26	21	7	8
Magazzino PF	Forza Motrice+Luci	Elettrico	10.41.26.26	14	8	0

Could anyone help? Thanks 🙂

Thank you for the reply, I'm sorry could you please explain? What should I do after left Join?

FilippoValli · ‎2019-02-06

I tried making a left join but for some reason it's giving me error : "There is no open data connection"

Is it because I'm loading data from an excell file? How could I adress this problem?

Attached my code:

Set dataManagerTables = '','Foglio1','Foglio1-1';
//This block renames script tables from non generated section which conflict with the names of managed tables

For each name in $(dataManagerTables)
    Let index = 0;
    Let currentName = name;
    Let tableNumber = TableNumber(name);
    Let matches = 0;
    Do while not IsNull(tableNumber) or (index > 0 and matches > 0)
        index = index + 1;
        currentName = name & '-' & index;
        tableNumber = TableNumber(currentName)
        matches = Match('$(currentName)', $(dataManagerTables));
    Loop
    If index > 0 then
            Rename Table '$(name)' to '$(currentName)';
    EndIf;
Next;
Set dataManagerTables = ;

Unqualify *;
