I have added an OLAP table with three columns where the Count of activities is compared to the Distinctcount activity for each case key. Please find attached the OLAP table.

 

Besides the OLAP table i would like to show the rework rate as one number by referring to the formula and outcomes of the OLAP table. How can i add a number (without using PQL) where the ration of cases with a YES", as displayed in the OLAP table, is returned as one percentage.

 

Many thanks!

Hi Omar,

 

For purposes of this feedback I would assume the following case table and activity table (note that your case might vary and then you would just need to adjust to your process accordingly):

  • Case table: VBAP
  • Activity table: _CEL_O2C_ACTIVITIES
  • Activity name column: "_CEL_O2C_ACTIVITIES"."ACTIVITY_EN"

 

I would assume you have used the "Case When" statement when deriving the "Rework" column of your OLAP table (e.g. something like " case when count ("_CEL_O2C_ACTIVITIES"."ACTIVITY_EN") = count (DISTINCT "_CEL_O2C_ACTIVITIES"."ACTIVITY_EN")

then 'No' else 'Yes' end"). The problem with calculating the ratio by directly utilizing this "Yes" or "No" entries (or by utilizing the count of activities and distinct activities in this way), is that aggregation inside of an aggregation is not allowed inside of the PQL (irrespective if you use a Visual Editor or Code Editor). Your "rework rate" (yes/no) is not an inherent data model field thus you would need to again use count on count which is not allowed. In addition your table has many rows for each case, whereas you want to arrive at a single KPI which will unite all of these cases and show you the overall rework rate.

 

Thus, the easiest way to arrive at the rework rate would be the following similar formulas:

  • AVG((CASE WHEN PU_COUNT("VBAP", "_CEL_O2C_ACTIVITIES"."ACTIVITY_EN") > PU_COUNT_DISTINCT("VBAP", "_CEL_O2C_ACTIVITIES"."ACTIVITY_EN") THEN 1.0 ELSE 0.0 END))

This follows the similar logic as your approach with count of distinct activities. The major difference is the utilization of the PU function instead of the standard aggregations.
