Max value in a time dimension

pabloSB

Hello!

I'm trying to get the maximum value of the item test1 in the time range FY19-FY30 and then use that value in an operation in item2. Any idea?
In the example screenshot I attached, the maximum value of item 1 is 10 (FY30). In item2, I would like to do the operation 10*line item3.

Any suggestions to obtain the max value (10)????
Thanks!
Pablo

Try changing the summary to max and then in the Time Settings, turn on All Periods (this can also be done for time ranges).  Then use Line item[Select: Time.All Periods]

Hi @pabloSB ,

 

You can try below:

Another thing you can try is to do a timesum with aggregation method set to MAX. This is slightly heavier than the other methods suggested but just wanted to put it on the table. You'd need to have a current period setup in time settings for this to work.

Please do not use TimeSum() in a module dimensionalized by Time as it is a major performance hit.   Take a look at this video for more information about it:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvimWuX5jVw

 

@pabloSB A better solution that creates less calculations but gives you the same answer is to create a new module with a single line item named Total with the formula TimeSum('PV1 - Investor Returns,-99,99,MAX).  Now, a) the calculation is kicked off only once vs. the Select:time.All Time Periods was being kicked of for every month.

 

Hope this helps,
