Opening Capex Code not referencing Closing Capex correctly

Dear Model Builders,

Please refer my attachd Opening Capex code which I believe not referring to the previous month's closing capex correctly.

Appreciate your help on finding the cause of error and possible solutions.

Thanks

Hi @TD1,

Simplifying the formula will make it easier to understand and troubleshoot, while also reducing the calculation effort % of this line item and improving your model's performance. This line item probably has high calculation effort due to multiple nested IF statements.

Here are a few suggestions:

Move this part in a system module as a Boolean line item.

2. Consider separating ITEM(FV01 Versions) in your versions system module if you have 10+ versions.

3. Try to move this part to a system module, too.

These will make the formula easier to fix.

I hope this helps.

Here is an example of how a simple If+Boolean formula optimization can reduce the calculation effort:

Formatted Sales 2 Formula - Calculation Effort = 27%

IF 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.Number Unit Input = 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.Thousands

THEN Sales / 1000

ELSE IF 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.Number Unit Input = 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.Millions

THEN Sales / 1000000

ELSE Sales

Formatted Sales 1 Formula - Calculation Effort = 60%

IF        'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.'Input = Thousand?'     

THEN   Sales in Thousands

ELSE IF   'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.'Input = Millions?'     

THEN   Sales In Millions    

ELSE       Sales

I'd like to note that calculation effort can fluctuate depending on factors like early exit logic, but the main idea here is keeping formulas short and clean improves performance and makes them easier to read.

Hope this helps!

If you want to match numbers, try using PREVIOUS.

PREVIOUS('DEP10 Closing Capex')

Something like this:

IF 'SYS02 Time'.Is First Month THEN

    [Your IF-ELSE logic here]

ELSE

    PREVIOUS('DEP10 Closing Capex')

Can you help?

New UX Filtering for Hierarchy sibling
I have A6 as the parent list and two sibling lists: A6.5 and A7. The A7 list includes an attribute that maps to A6.5. In the UX, the user will select A6.5 using a content selector, and the grid (dimensioned by A7) should display only the A7 items associated with that selected A6.5.

A reminder of Bulk Copy - Current year to Prior year version for YoY analysis
A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality.

Use case: copy a version (RF1) into a prior year version (PY RF1) using a versions list to allow for year-on-year…
