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:

  1. Category - Single selection
  2. Reporting State Name - Ability to select All or Multi or Single
  3. Manufacturer - Ability to select All or Multi or Single
  4. Pack Size - Ability to select All or Multi or Single

 

Sample screen of the report (see description of the issues after this screenshot)

  1. Table-1 - Displaying volume numbers based on Input Control selection - No Issues
  2. Table-2 - Displaying the Percentage numbers based on Input Control selection and Formula
    1. Formula Name: Man % MAT
    2. Formula: (Sum([Last 12 Months].[EOS Volume])ForEach([Manufacturer])/Sum([Last 12 Months].[EOS Volume])ForAll([Manufacturer])*100)
    3. Works when "All Values" selected for input control "Manufacturer" (see below)T1_1.png
    4. Issue: But when single value (Example M-ABC) selected for Input Control Manufacturer, the percentages are incorrectly displaying as 100% (see below)

  3. Table-3 - Displaying the Percentage numbers based on Input Control selection and Formula
    1. Formula Name: Man % MAT 2
    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]))
    3. Does work only when single value is selected for "Reporting State Name" (see below)

    5. Issue: Does not work when "All Values" (or more than 1 value) selected for "Reporting State Name" (return blank cells, see below)
    6. T2_2.png
  4. Table-4 - Displaying the Percentage numbers based on Input Control selection and Formula
    1. Formula Name: Man % MAT 3
    2. Formula: (Sum([Last 12 Months].[EOS Volume])ForEach([Manufacturer])/NoFilter(Sum([Last 12 Months].[EOS Volume])ForAll([Manufacturer]))*100)
    3. Issue: Percentages numbers are not correct (NoFilter function seems to be applied incorrectly, see below)

with all the scenarios we are unable to use multi selection with user input control.
