Environment: Web Intelligence Desktop (Version: 4.1 Support Pack 5 Patch 6)
Objective: to get the percentage values based on user Input controls and variables.
Issue: Seems to be a problem (or bug) in providing a multi selection input control to users when linked to variables.
Input Controls:
- Category - Single selection
- Reporting State Name - Ability to select All or Multi or Single
- Manufacturer - Ability to select All or Multi or Single
- Pack Size - Ability to select All or Multi or Single
Sample screen of the report (see description of the issues after this screenshot)
- Table-1 - Displaying volume numbers based on Input Control selection - No Issues
- Table-2 - Displaying the Percentage numbers based on Input Control selection and Formula
- Formula Name: Man % MAT
- Formula: (Sum([Last 12 Months].[EOS Volume])ForEach([Manufacturer])/Sum([Last 12 Months].[EOS Volume])ForAll([Manufacturer])*100)
- Works when "All Values" selected for input control "Manufacturer" (see below)
- Issue: But when single value (Example M-ABC) selected for Input Control Manufacturer, the percentages are incorrectly displaying as 100% (see below)
- Table-3 - Displaying the Percentage numbers based on Input Control selection and Formula
- Formula Name: Man % MAT 2
- Formula: NoFilter(Sum([Last 12 Months].[EOS Volume])ForEach([Manufacturer])/Sum([Last 12 Months].[EOS Volume])ForAll([Manufacturer])*100)Where([Category]=ReportFilter([Category]) And [Last 12 Months].[State Name]=ReportFilter([Reporting State Name]))
- Does work only when single value is selected for "Reporting State Name" (see below)
- Issue: Does not work when "All Values" (or more than 1 value) selected for "Reporting State Name" (return blank cells, see below)
- Table-4 - Displaying the Percentage numbers based on Input Control selection and Formula
with all the scenarios we are unable to use multi selection with user input control.
