L2 - Spring 2 - 2.3.8.4 Create DEM02 Volume Growth Rates by Week module

Baskar

• Add a formula to the Growth % line item to convert the DEM01 Volume Growth Rates.Growth % (monthly) value to weeks

For this task, I have applied the formula WEEKVALUE('DEM01 Volume Growth Rates'.Growth %) but this formula seems to be incorrect. The values in the weekly columns are 0 instead of monthly value/no of weeks in the month. What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Baskar,

Did you try MONTHVALUE() instead?

Baskar

Hi @seymatas1 ,

Thanks.

my understanding is

 DEM01 Volume Growth Rates.Growth % line item has a monthly value ( Dimension time (month) and in DEM02 Volume Growth Rates by Week module time is in weeks. I thought the value in DEM01 volume Growth Rates.Growth% should be divided by the number of weeks in that month and copied into DEM02 Volume Growth Rates by Week.growth% line item.

If I apply mothlyvalue(), the values in DEM01 are copied to the DEM02 module Growth% line item. I am confused.

correct me if my understanding is wrong

Thanks,

Baskar

Hi @Baskar,

If I apply mothlyvalue(), the values in DEM01 are copied to the DEM02 module Growth% line item.

Yes, and this is the expected output.

The values in the monthly module are growth rates from a week to the same week of the next year. So you don't need to change numbers. By using MONTHVALUE(), you carry them from the monthly module to the weekly module without causing time dimension errors.

For example,

Your Baseline Forecast for Nutzo Bar_EN, Candiate is 58.88,

Growth rate is %1.

Default Forecast = 58.88 x 0.01 = 59.47.

I hope this clarifies things.

@seymatas1

How did you get to Growth Rate %, I used the formula: 'DEM02 Volume Growth Rates by Week'.Growth %[LOOKUP: 'SYS08 SKU Details'.Product Family], but the values are 0% for all

Hi @mayurshinde,

Your DEM03 module's Growth % formula is correct.

Here is how you troubleshoot when your formula is correct but numbers don't flow:
1. Check the dimensions of both modules: DEM02 applies to P1 and Weeks. DEM03 applies to P3 SKU, Accounts, and Weeks.
2. Check if DEM02 has data.

3. Check if the Product Family line item in SYS08 is populated.

4. Check summary methods. In this case, both Growth % line items' summaries should be set to None. If you don't see numbers at higher hierarchies, this is expected.

I hope this helps.
