Local Calculations
Use
You can recalculate single values and results of a report based on certain criteria. For example, you can create ranked lists or you can calculate the total for a Top 10 product list locally.
Integration
The function for
making local calculations is available for structural components in Query
Designer in the
Selection/Formula
Properties dialog, in BEx Analyzer in the
Key Figure
Properties dialog, and in the
Context Menu in
Web applications.
Features
Local calculations include only those numbers in the calculation that appear in the current view of the report. You thus override the standard calculations in Analytic Engine.
Note that these local calculations only change the display of the values. With subsequent calculations, such as formulas, the system does not use the values changed for the display, but uses the original values specified by Analytic Engine instead.
