Analytics designer calculated item in a report

swamgan — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 21:35:35 GMT

All,

I'm trying to build a simple calculated field in a List Table, that derives out of 2 columns. The formula is pretty straight-forward: New_Field = A / (A + C), however the data coming to New_Field is not correct. The data in the list table is filtered by a few drop-downs for Year, Month and Date and aggregated on a half-hourly basis. There should be something very basic I'm missing here... Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi There,

I think you might be looking for the "New Aggregated Measure";

then your formula should look like this (use the sum group by)

hope that helps

Dear swamgan,

I think you are using the calculated item field that calculates on dataline level.

What you need is an Aggregated Measure, because this one can calculates on group level.

This functionality is present in VA 6.2 and not in 6.1

It looks like this.

Shure this will solve your problem.

Greetings

Thanks to you both, apparently I don't have 6.2 yet.
