Process documentation Grand Totals (OLAP) Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

The Grand Totals template is a simple default template activated when you drag an OLAP data service to the workspace (see Configuring Queries Directly in Data Services).  With this template, you can build queries that aggregate all measures to the highest level. The result returns one row of data with the total for each measure.

You should use this template if you would like to address business questions such as the following:

What is the total revenue of all sales transactions? 

 

Prerequisites

You have an OLAP data service configured as a BI system.

 

Process Flow

After using the BI Query Wizard to select an OLAP data service and the Grand Totals template, the wizard asks you only to Select a Cube to complete the procedure for this template.

If you have entered the BI Query Wizard from configuring your data service directly in the workspace, your system and cube are already configured and this step is bypassed.

 

Result

After you have completed the wizard screens according to the process above and clicked Finish, you return to the Visual Composer workspace, where a new data service has been created with the query you have configured.

A data service created with the BI Query Wizard is configured automatically with a start input and a table view as output. These three elements together constitute a complete iView, ready for preview and deployment to your portal.

If you have entered the BI Query Wizard from configuring your data service directly in the workspace, you must configure your input and output ports manually. See Configuring Queries Directly in Data Services for more information.
