Parent and Ratio

[PrevContributor]

Hi, I need a ratio along a list called 'P&L' I made 2 line items :

• MyRef = PARENT(ITEM('P&L'))
• ratio = Budget N/ Budget N[LOOKUP: MyRef]

MyRef give the real parent of the P&L list. Everythings seems OK here. Ratio give zero (!) which is wrong by the way the forumula Budget N[LOOKUP: MyRef] gives 0 also How can i bring the value of the parent to calculate my ratio ? Best regards, Yls

There are several reasons this may not be pulling the right number for you. Did you already check your dimensions?

Is this a composite hierarchy? Or a hierarchy in one list? If you have a hierarchy in one list, then the look up will not work.
