Hallo,
I just try to do some difficult stuff with the WebI Rich Client 4.1.
There are two measures for each month on a time line showing year and month. Thus, I have a dimension for year and month and two different measures for each year/month combination.
Now, e.g. I want to compare these two measures having same month and different years, say the current year and the year before. Please see the table below for a visible figure.
I used RelativeValue([measure prior year_1];([year/month]);-12) for [measure prior year] in order to compare one 1 year older measure with the other measure.
year/month | measure prior year | measure current year |
|---|---|---|
2010/10 | ||
2010/11 | ||
2010/12 | ||
2011/01 | ||
2011/02 | ||
2011/03 | ||
2011/04 | ||
2011/05 | ||
2011/06 | ||
2011/07 | ||
2011/08 | ||
2011/09 | ||
2011/10 | 439 | 97 |
2011/11 | 7.294 | 2.712 |
2012/02 | 20.496 | 13.397 |
2012/05 | 21.859 | 12.636 |
2013/01 | 36.325 | 27.286 |
2014/08 | 26.894 | 17.425 |
There are no values for [measure current year] before 2011/10. But, there are values for [measure prior year_1] before 2011/10. [measure prior year] is actually from 2010/10, 2010/11 and so on, as defined with RelativeValue.
No problem here. Everything works fine. But, now, I want to start the table with the first row where [measure prior year] is not null while leaving measure current year unchanged. Just cut the table and start with 2011/10...
And here we get the problem. Hence, RelativeValue references to values before 2011/10 all these reference will disappear for [measure prior year].
The same is with charts. I couldn't find a way to reference to values that exist by the query but which are not displayed in a table or a chart!
What I need is a way to reference to values which are not present in a single table or chart but in the report. I already fiddled with the display options (null values, without dimension etc.) of tables. But, no way.
How could a accomplish this task?
Any idea of something like "hiding" unwanted rows/bars results in "loss of data".
Thanks for any help
