Hi,

 

Is there a step by step guide on how to use the Add version formulas to line item subsets in module blueprint ?

 

I don't see any line item in the left box.

    I assume you mean applying version calculations to line items, vs line item subsets.

     

    In any case, depending on your use case, I'd say you're better off using a boolean line dimensioned by version to determine what calculation to run.

     

    E.g. IF List Attribute - Version.Version = Actual THEN X ELSE IF List Attribute - Version.Version = Forecast THEN Y

     

    Gives better auditability of your logic, is likely more maintainable and gives you the flexibility to group logic (e.g. if multiple versions use the same calculation, you can have a boolean that triggers the same calculation for all the like-versions). 

     

    The performance implication is probably less clear, but will depend on your usage.
