Title: Upgrading from 8.2 to 8.4.1 removed formatting in Analysis Studio calculations
Post by: Hoox81 on 15 Mar 2010 11:36:26 AM
Hi all,

Strange one here.  We have recently upgraded from 8.2 to 8.4.1 and now have a number of users complaining that they have lost the existing formatting on custom calculations within their analysis studio reports.

I can't seem to find anywhere where these custom calcs can be formatted.

For example, we have two measures, delivery costs and units sold.  The users have created a custom calc called "Delivery Rate" which is simply delivery costs divided by units sold.

In 8.2, the result of this calculation would be accurate but now in 8.4, the user is seeing $1.  The default formatting for the measures is dollars for delivery costs and integers for units sold.

Any ideas?  We've got a ton of these reports...

Thanks
MH
