Hi SCN,
i am currently facing the problem of margins not being shown/calculated properly in crosstabs when embedded in a hierarchy. Thus, i would be really glad if anyone of you would be able to help me.
Framework:
- The Data Source is a BO Universe
- Design Studio Version: 14.0.3
Screenshot:
Problem description:
As can be seen in the screenshot above, the last column shows a calculated margin in percent. This margin is only calculated properly for the lowest dimension of the hierarchy (which is POS 02 - POS 03 - POS 04). The column second to the last is showing absolute values of the margin which are calculated correctly throughout the hierarchy.
At the last column i only get valid values for the margin of the lowest dimension within the hierarchy (called POS 04 in this case), values for higher dimensions in the hierarchy (e.g. POS 03 or POS 02) only return NOT_EXIST instead of the accumulated value. I thinkthis problem occurs because Design Studio must be able to calculate the margin for a higher hierarchy based on the accumulated values of the underlying hierarchy. Hence, values for the margin calclation of a higher dimension have to be based on values which have to be calculated via Design Studio or the Universe in the background.
One thing that makes me curious about this issue is that we do not face this problem with BO Web Intelligence Reports. We already use this calculated margin measure at some reports which did not raise this hierarchy percentage issue. Moreover, the mentioned reports are using the same BO universe and query as a data source!
Does anyone know how to solve this issue or does anybody face the same problem?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!!!
BR,
Markus
