Data Functions

Use

You can use the following data functions when defining a formula or a calculated key figure as an operator.

Features

Operator	Operator Name	Description
COUNT	Counter	`COUNT(<Expression>)` Returns value 1 if the expression <> identified by <Expression> results in 0, otherwise 0.
DATE	Casting Operator Date	`DATE` The value is given as the number of days starting from 01.01.0000 and then displayed as a date. The value can be between 0 and a million which allows for a date range between 01.01.0000 and 27.11.2738.
DELTA	Delta	`DELTA(<Expression>)` Returns value 1 if the expression identified by <Expression> results in 0, otherwise 0. Caution The function is identical to the operator NOT and should no longer be used.
NDIV0	No DIV0	`NDIV(<Expression>)` Results in 0 if the expression identified by <Expression> is caused by a division by 0 during calculation. Otherwise the result is the value of the expression. This is used to avoid displaying an error message or to be able to calculate further with a defined result.
NODIM	Value without Units or Currencies	`NODIM(<Expression>)` Returns the pure number value of <Expression> and suppresses the unit and currency.
NOERR	No Error	`NOERR(<Expression>)` Results in 0 if the expression identified by <Expression> causes a calculation error during evaluation. Otherwise the result is the value of the expression. This is used to avoid displaying an error message or to be able to calculate further with a defined result.
SUMCT	Norming Operation Result	`SUMCT <Operand>` Returns the result of the operand on the next-highest level (intermediate result) (see also Percentage Functions, %CT).
SUMGT	Norming Operation Grand Total	`SUMGT <Operand>` Returns the grand total of the operand (see also Percentage Functions, %GT).
SUMRT	Norming Operation Query Result	`SUMRT <Operand>` Returns the query result of the operand (see also Percentage Functions, %RT). In contrast to the calculation of the grand total, the dynamic filters are not included in the calculation of the query result, that is, it is always normalized to the same size, irrespective of the dynamic filter and navigation status.
TIME	Casting Operator Time	`TIME` The `TIME` operator makes a key figure of type `TIME` of any key figure or general (part) formula. The system removes the decimal places, interprets the value as seconds, and returns the value in the form +-hh:mm:ss. Example In this way -4812 is displayed as `-1:20:12`. A number is seend as the number of seconds from 00:00:00 and is expressed in hours, minutes, and seconds. A key figure of type `TIME` with the value 0 is displayed as `00:00:00`. Negative times are allowed: For a negative number the system calculates backwards from 00:00:00. The number of hours can be as high as required. The system starts from 0 again after 24 hours.

Example

NOERR (x): Equal to 0 for undefined calculations, otherwise x

NOERR(SQRT(-1)) = 0

Result (SUMCT)

Year	Region	Revenue	SUMCT 'Revenue'
1999	North	30	60
	South	30	60
	Result 1999	60	180
2000	North	60	120
	South	60	120
	Result 2000	120	180
Overall Result		180	180

Grand Total (SUMGT)

Year	Region	Revenue	SUMGT 'Revenue'
1999	North	30	180
	South	30	180
	Result 1999	60	180
2000	North	60	180
	South	60	180
	Result 2000	120	180
Overall Result		180	180

Query Result (Report Total) (SUMRT)

Year	Region	Revenue	SUMRT 'Revenue'
1999	North	30	180
	South	30	180
	Result 1999	60	180
Overall Result		60	180

The year 1999 is in the dynamic filter. The missing revenue 120 comes from the year 2000 (see SUMGT).

Process Value as Time (TIME)

This function is mainly intended for offset calculations. If, for example, you want to calculate 4 hours for time key figures then you can implement the operator TIME.
