Hello. I need to produce a column in Pwerplay which will count all rows in a report. I use the report to keep track of products, and I would like to know how many times a particular product is sold. Is there any way to keep a count of items in a report? I was thinking about creating a measure, but I'm not sure what kind of calculation to use. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
This would depend on how your data is fed into trandformer i.e. transactional data or summary data.

Either way you would need to bring a field into your transformer model showing the number of sales. If the data is transactional this would always be one.

You could then add a measure to your cube, to sum the number of sales.

You could always do a row count in Impromptu and bring that in as a measure. Maybe, depending on your requirements, a category count measure might get you what you are after.
