Adding two specific row's values in Crosstab (Analytics)

[HelloCognos]

Ok, I have been struggling with this one for a while.  :) :)

I need add up two rows values and show it in a third row in a List or Crosstab.

Please see my mockup attached.

I tried using the new Calculation Data Item but it is not working.

Thanks again for your time.

have you tried to add a crosstab space?

Well, the issue I'm having is to how perform the calculation of the specific rows to be added together. Sure, Crosstab Space is a good idea but it seems to be more involved. Thanks a lot

Is your source relational or dimensional?

If it is dimensional, bring in the elements as individual members rather than a set of members. Then you can click the two desired members and create your calculation.

If it is relational, create a query calculation using a case statement to aggregate your metric for the two desired types.

Code Select Expand


case [Your Cost Type Field]
  when 'Maint Cost' then [Your Value Field]
  when 'Repair Cost' then [Your Value Field]
else 0
end

Thanks so much Lynn! I'll try this.

Lynn, :)

This approach worked perfectly for adding up couple of rows and showing them in a different row. Once the addition is showing, I excluded the others that were included in the addition from the Crosstab. Works like a charm.

Created the Measure based on the Case Statement. Assigned the Data Item as Summary Calculation: Calculated and drop it to the Crosstab.

Thank you again!
