Title: difference between dates on Cube
Post by: kauvasques on 28 Jun 2012 09:27:28 AM


Hello all.

I am trying to calculate a difference between dates
sample: Time out - time entry
and need to calculate the difference between these hours , however it is necessary to make this calculation on cube in Transformer and the user will analyze the data using  the  analysis studio and it is essential  the time values are in  format hh: mm: ff.
Could someone help me please?


Thanks to all. ;)

1. You cannot do this in transformer. You'll need to do it in the datasource
2. In order to see hh:mm:ss in your cube it will need to be in a dimension - it cannot be a measure as measures can only be numeric.
