I have created a monthly P&L with Budget vs Actual columns. When I want to see YTD numbers, the total column at the end adds up both Budget & Actual numbers. Is there a way to see the totals for Budget and Actual separately?  

Hello friends, On Friday April 14th, we will be making some changes to the Autosave functionality and the default Autosave behavior when inputting data in Sheet View. What is the “Autosave off” feature that will be released on April 14th? Now Members with Configure Blocks permission will have a block-level setting controlling Autosave.  This setting is now available on all block types and determines if inputs within the block are automatically saved or not. While already existing, the Autosave functionality was changed to expand its functionality to Boards for all types of display modes and not only Sheet view, making it more accessible to Members inputting data on Boards. This change also enables the au

Hi Everyone, I’m trying to find a more efficient solution to modeling our yields. We have several dimensions by which we measure yields (region, segment, ramp status, etc...) and currently have separate blocks for each measure which can lead to confusion. I would like to consolidate yield calculations into a few blocks and pivot from there on the necessary dimensions. Any ideas on how to best set up yields?

Hello !I have created a table to display our monthly key figures with actuals vs budget. I have added the following columns with the calculated item function: YTD values (with the cumulate option in the calculated item), and variation in € + variation in % for the monthly and YTD values.When my initial data is in number it’s ok, but I don’t know if it’s possible to use the calculated item option for calculating YTD values in % and calculating their variation (for example gross margin % and EBITDA %). Could you please help me to find the best way to calculate these values in my table?Hope my request is clear enough!Thanks,Elodie

Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue for creating metrics that are on a "per basis". They're divisions between 2 sums.Those 2 sums (let's say A and B) are defined across the same 6 dimensions, and individually work fine and aggregate as sums on any visualization with them even if I pick let's say 3/6 dimensions in which they existHowever when I create a metric dividing those metrics A and B, we face issues when displaying on a table 3/6 dimensions, because there's no option to define the order of operations, and what happens is:- The table calculates A / B on each combination of 6 dimensions- Aggregate as sum of (A / B) on the table at displayWhat needs to happen is:- Calculate sum of A- Calculate sum of B- Divide sum of A by sum of BAnd we couldn't find a formula to do this, or make explicitly how we want to aggregate.Those are semi-additive measures, and maybe this example on DAX helps:
