I am trying to build a Business Objects report that breaks daily data into 1 hour sections.
I have the measure I want to add to a cross tab but I cannot figure out a good way of splitting time data up into hours throughout the day.
I have tried formatting the date/time object into SHORT_TIME...
Thanks Steve, I have split this into two new measures for simplicity, the first being the last 3 average using:
=Average(Previous(previous([measure])))
And I generated another variable:
=previous([measure]) + [measure])
But when I create another variable adding the two of them I get results...
I am trying to plot a trend line onto a line graph in Business Objects. I have hunted high and low and I cannot seem to find a BO function that does this.
My data is pretty simple but I cannot figure out how to do this, my data table is in the format below:
Date [Measure]
01/01 0
02/02...
Many thanks indeed, that works perfectly. I didnt use the 'Variance' function in the end and just used the 'Previous' function which I wasn't previously aware of.
I am trying to add a column to a table which shows the daily variance from the previous day.
My table looks something like this:
Measure
Date1 5
Date2 2
Date3 9
Date4 7
I would like to add another column showing the variance from the previous day like this:
Measure Variance
Date1 5 5...
Point taken...
Once Blom0344 pointed out the crosstab columns were not independent (Thanks Blom!) I realised I needed to create a new measure which ranked the original measure in my crosstab.
Using the variable editor I added the formula =Rank([measure];[Name];[Date])
I then applied a filter...
Basically the report is lots of pages. I want just the name columns with the top 3 results for each date, all other results filtered out.
Thanks for your help
I have a crosstab in BO and I wish to select the Top 3 values from the measure in the table. I have tried using the rank function but this does not work.
My crosstab looks something like this:
Name A B C D
Date
01/01 10 8 2
02/01 7
03/01 1 9 6 2
I know I need to use the ‘rank’ formula...
