Question on how I set up my List

neg177

Hi,

 

I need advice on how to set up something in my Model. I need to pull into my Modules a Time Setting that excludes Bank Holidays. I have created a List of all the Bank Holidays and plan to use this as a filter in my Module's. I want to know if this is the correct way to approach this task? A screen shot is attached. 

 

Thank you

First, please remove the properties from the list and instead create a module dimensionalized by this list and Time at the Year, it will be much better and easier to use.  Then, in your SYS Time - Day module, you will now be able to look up these values.  Create the following line items:

Year: item(time) with a time period of Year

Bank Holiday?: start() = module you just create.line item (I would assume Holiday)[lookup:year]. Bank Holiday should be a boolean

Hello @rob_marshall,
To get this to work, does the SYS TIME - Day module need to be dimensioned by the holiday list also?
Thanks,

Yes, you should have 3 modules in total.

 

First, create a Holiday list having a Top Level:

 

SYS Holiday Observed:

• Dimensionalized by Holiday list and Time at the year level
• Line Item: Observed Date formatted as Date
  

SYS Time Filter - Day

• Dimensionalized by Time at the Day Level
• Line item FY Year formatted as Time Period Year.  Formula: PERIOD(START())

 

SYS Holiday Day:

• Dimensionalized by Holiday List and Time, at the Day level
• Line item Is Holiday formatted as a boolean with a summary of ANY.  Formula: SYS Holiday Observed.Observed Date[LOOKUP: 'SYS Time Filter - Day'.FY Year] = START()
  
  

In the SYS Time Filter - Day module, create a new line item Is Holiday? with the formula: SYS Holiday Day.Is Holiday?

I put a filter on it so you would see all of the Holidays are correct.

 

Hope this helps,
