How to get value from time dimensioned module to non-time?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello, I have a module DEM03.1 Mapping (CV&ADI) with Time dimension and LIST03 SKU with the same List but without time.

I'd like to get first non blank value from Date of introduction Line Item in DEM03.1 (1 pic) to Date of Introducton in LIST03 SKU (Pic 2). How can I do it?

Hi @KacperSzafranski13 - You can also set the time summary to first non blank for the line item & use the formula - source[select: time.all periods] in the target module.

It is similar to the method suggested by @lokeshm but skips an additional lookup line item.

I'd avoid timesum since the calculation effort is higher in that than the other 2 methods.

Hope this helps :)

Hi @KacperSzafranski13 ,

You can achieve that using the TIMESUM() function. Note that to use FIRSTNONBLANK with it, you'll need to define the start and end period for the calculation.

TIMESUM(DEM03.1 Mapping (CV&ADI).Date of Introduction, 'SYS01 Lookup'.Start Period, 'SYS01 Lookup'.End Period, FIRSTNONBLANK)

Hope this Helps!😀

@KacperSzafranski13 create another line item in the target Module "FY" and format it to the Year . Then use this line item in the look up.

TIMSUM function is usually used to aggregate data from a line item with time dimension to a line item without time dimension.
