Title: Creating query items for cross tab report using dmr model
Post by: inu on 05 Mar 2017 11:14:18 AM
Hi Team,
I'm going to create a cross tab report using dmr, so here issue is, should I create query items at FM level or report level because all are calculated items.. Plz see the attChed file for reference. Description of report item is as follows
(a) YoY- comparison between current year and previous year.
(b) %Realozation - (actual / target)*100
(c) 3 - year trending- current year with previous two year

Plz suggest.


Regards,
Inam

If you think these are common calculations that your users would benefit from having in a package, then it's better to include them in your FM model; otherwise, it's fine to create them in the report.

Yes this is common ,  it will be used in many reports..
Please suggest how to create year on year explained in first post... Apart from this calendar date will also be available at report level..


Thanx
