How to calculate the total amount without using Select function

alexlee

Hi All,

 

I have created a module with two list (Company list: A,B,C) and Fruit list (Apple, Orange, Pineapple)

 

Let say company A and C are tier 1 and company B is tier 2

 

And then i have created another module without any list dimension but just only a line item, how can i calculate the total amount of Apple selling by tier 1 company?

 

Thanks!!

Hi @alexlee 

You can use a global lookup to do this instead of using select. However, you can't go straight from Company to tiers, you will need a module by tiers and fruits. Then you can use a lookup module to write the formulas.

Input Data:

Sales by Tier and Fruit:

Global Lookup Module:

Final Summary:

 

Glad that you do not want to use SELECT, there are many drawbacks of using select including performance and hindrance to ALM. However, if you need the amount across all time periods, you will need to use Select on Time. All Periods.

Hope this helps.
