    Hi,

    I tried that but doesn't work …

    I may have done something wrong on a previous step but don't know which one.

    Here are my DEM03 and DAT03.

  • Do I have to change the time range?

  • Any ideas please… I am completely stuck !

  • This is your screenshot, and it does not looks correct. Can you share the pivot of this module?

    SKU Flat List item does not looks correct to me.

  • Okay, it's not a major issue, but please remove the SKU Flat List item from the list as it is not needed. Let me review it and try to identify any other potential issues.

    Hi @Dikshant ,

    I removed it. thank you

    That changed my DEM03. does it looks good now ?

  • Please check the following items:

    Check if model calendar and time range are setup correctly. Make sure Current Period is setup as Week 1 FY20.

    Check the formula and result for SYS01 Module - 1st Forecast Year line item.

    Check if DAT03 module matches:

    Check default forecast and baseline forecast formulas are correct.

    Make sure Growth percent line item format is set as percentage in both DEM03 and DEM02 module.

    See if you were able to find the mistake.

  • Number looks way too off, check the above points and drill down on any cell and share the screenshot. It will tell us exactly which line item is off.

    Dear @Dikshant

    • Calendar and time range are good. #
    • SYS01 seems good to me:
    • DAT03:

    Default forecast and baseline formulas

    DEM02 and DEM03 are both in pourcentage decimal 2

    See my DEM03 results below:

  • Can you set this current period.

    is my DAT 03 right?

  • No it's way too off. Fix the DAT03 module. You have subsidiary views and mine does not have it. Can you correct that, dimension has to be P3 SKU and Accounts. Load the data again.

  • I have updated my dimension.

    How can I remove my subsidiary ?

  • Great I guess it works now !

    Last question: how can I change my value; should be 58.88 instead of 5,887,728,739?

    I had to load again my DAT03 Historic volumes in my Datahub with dot instead of comma. Now looks good thanks !
