Counting Exception AggregationsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

The following scenario shows how you can use the query definition to count the results of a calculated key figure.

You have loaded the following data into your InfoProvider:

Region

Customer

Sales

USD

NY

A

400,000

B

200,000

C

50,000

CA

A

800,000

C

300,000

In the query, you want to determine the number of customers where the revenue is under 1,000,000 USD. To do this, you create the calculated key figure Revenue Customer <= 1,000,000 (F1) with the following properties:

  • Formula definition: Revenue <= 1,000,000

  • Exception aggregation: Total, reference characteristic: Customer

    This query would deliver the following result:

    Region

    Customer

    Sales

    F1

    USD

    NY

    A

    400,000

    1

    B

    200,000

    1

    C

    50,000

    1

    Result

    650,000

    3

    CA

    A

    800,000

    1

    C

    300,000

    1

    Result

    1,100,000

    2

    Overall Result

    1,750,000

    2

    Note

    The grand total of the calculated key figure F1 is calculated as follows:

    Revenue customer A (400,000 + 800,000) does not meet the condition (revenue <= 1.000.000) - the result is 0,

    Revenue customer B (200,000) meets the condition - the result is 1,

    Revenue customer C (50,000 + 300,000) meets the condition - the result is 1,

    The grand total for F1 is 2.

    A query with the breakdown according to region would give the following result:

    Region

    Sales

    F1

    USD

    NY

    650,000

    3

    CA

    1,100,000

    2

    Overall Result

    1,750,000

    2

    Note

    By assigning the reference feature Customer during the exception aggregation of the calculated key figure F1, the query also returns the required data without a breakdown according to reference features.
