Okay, I think I may have run up against the design limitations of the pivot grid widget...
Here is what I'm trying to do: I need to make a cube with a dimension that averages based on leaf-node values in the cube, rather than on it's own value. This statement probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense out of context so here is the specific example:
Let's say we have a cube with three dimensions: Average Unit Sales Price (AUSP), Quantity, and Revenue. AUSP is equal to Revenue / Quanity, which the cube supports, so so far we don't have a problem:
AUSP Quantity Revenue 1000 2 2000 20 100 2000
The problem comes in when it comes to aggregation of these dimensions when they are collapsed. Both Quantity and Revenue should aggregated using straight summation, so that is easy... But AUSP needs to remain dynamically calculated based on (Sum of Revenue) / (Sum of Quanity). So correct aggregation would look like this:
AUSP Quantity Revenue 1000 2 2000 20 100 2000---------------------------------------- 39.2 102 4000
The only built-in AggregatorType that looks like it might be able to do this is "Calculated", but there is no documentation anywhere as to how to use it, specify a formula, etc...
Does anyone know how this works?
Fantastic! This is perfect!
Hi,
I don’t think this is a limitation. I have attached a simple solution how to do that. Let me know if you have any questions
