  • 1.  BOXI 4.1 SP3: variable shows different values

    Posted Aug 10, 2018 11:48 AM

    Hi,

     

    I have a WI report that contains a variable VR calculated like

    1 - (SUM(A) / SUM(B))

    This VR variable shows different values if I insert it in two different reports of the same Web Intelligence report.

     

    How could that be?

    Mugur,

     

    your explain seems to show the number of A or B have changed or have been updated.

    But, it is curious the number of A or B or values in A or B could change so fast (between the two report)

    What are A and B ? Does it make sense the number or values in A or B change so fast ?

    May be this problem need a support case to avoid any misunderstanding and investigate with the exact SUM...

     

    Best regards

    Hi Christophe,

     

    I'm doing in this order:

    1. Run queries

    2. The variable is calculated automatically: VR = 1 - (SUM(A) / SUM(B)) = 0,9741 (verified this value manually and it is OK)

    3. Insert this variable in a table cell in Rep1 (summary report) and Rep2 (details report); it shows 0,9725 in Rep1 and 0,9741 in Rep2

     

    I've tried to use " 1 - (SUM(A) / SUM(B)) " in the Formula Editor for that cell but the result is the same...

     

    What could be the issue?

     

    Thanks & regards,

    Mugur

    Hello,

     

    I've found the issue.

    On the "Format Table" the checkbox "Avoid duplicate row aggregation" was un-checked.

    After checking it, the values were the same everywhere I used them.

     

    Kind regards,
