- Table: Orders (BT_ORDER_FACT)
- ID = BC_FACT_ORDER_TURNOVER
- Name = Turnover
- Formula = SUM( [PentahoDoc:BT_ORDER_FACT.BC_FACT_ORDER_NRPRODUCTS] * [PentahoDoc:BT_PRODUCT.BC_DIM_PRODUCT_PRICE] )
- Exact = Yes
...
Now, suppose we want to generate the multiplication of the 2 sums (different use-case), we define the formula as "[PentahoDoc:BT_ORDER_FACT.BC_FACT_ORDER_NRPRODUCTS] * [PentahoDoc:BT_PRODUCT.BC_DIM_PRODUCT_PRICE]" (without the SUM) and specify an aggregation for the 2 used business columns. The generated SQL will then be:
...
- ID = BC_FACT_ORDER_TURNOVER_TAXES
- Name = Turnover Taxes
- Formula = [PentahoDoc:BT_ORDER_FACT.BC_FACT_ORDER_TURNOVER] * 7 / 100
- Exact = Yes
