Data Functions

Use

When defining a formula or calculated key figure, you can use the following data functions as operators.

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. This 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 This function is identical to the NOT operator and should not be used anymore.
FIX	FIX	Fixes the context of the aggregation by preventing the exception aggregation from using the GROUP-BY clause. The constant selection is therefore made before the formula calculation (see Fix Operator).
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 in order to avoid error messages or so that you can continue calculating with a defined result.
NODIM	Value without Units or Currencies	`NODIM(<Expression>)` Returns purely numerical values of <expression> and suppresses units and currencies.
NOERR	No Error	`NOERR(<Expression>)` Results in 0 if the calculation of <expression> causes an arithmetical error. Otherwise, the result is the value of the expression. This is used in order to avoid error messages or so that you can continue calculating with a defined result.
SUMCT	Norming Operation Result	`SUMCT <Operand>` Returns the result of the operand at the next-highest level (intermediate result) (see Percentage Functions, %CT).
SUMGT	Norming Operation Grand Total	`SUMGT <Operand>` Returns the grand total of the operand (see Percentage Functions, %GT).
SUMRT	Norming Operation Query Result	`SUMRT <Operand>` Returns the query result of the operand (see Percentage Functions, %RT). Unlike the process for calculating the overall result, dynamic filters are not used in the calculation of the query result. This means that the calculation always normalizes to the same value, irrespective of the filter status and the navigational state.
TIME	Casting Operator Time	`TIME` The `TIME` operator takes any key figure or (partial) formula and makes a key figure of type `TIME`. The system removes the decimal places, interprets the value as seconds, and returns the value in the form +-hh:mm:ss. Example -4812 is thus displayed as `-1:20:12`. A number is expressed as the number of seconds from 00:00:00 and is expressed in hours, minutes, and seconds. A key figure of type `TIME` with value 0 is displayed as `00:00:00`. Negative times are allowed: For a negative number the system calculates backwards from 00:00:00. You can enter any number of hours. After 24 hours, the system does not restart again at 0.

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 you want to calculate 4 hours for time key figures for example, you can use the TIME operator.
