Custom Stepped Layout??
- 3 years ago
After much testing, I decided not to use Greg_Deckler's MM3TRR measure for this specific issue. MM3TRR allows for using different aggregations (sum, average, min, max) at each different subtotal level. While the measure is clearly very handy for creating that type of custom subtotals, it's not the feature I needed for this issue.
My custom subtotals all needed to be sums. The wrinkle came in because I needed to, for lack of a better term, "pick and choose" which line items should be included in each subtotal in the first place - based on a combination of values from two different fields, not only one.
In the end, all I had to do was create a custom field on my fact table concatenating the two target fields with a delimiter, then reference that concatenated field in my structure table instead of each field separately.
If anyone's interested in knowing more details, tag me and I'll share. I'm still thankful to Greg because his suggestion set me on the path of thinking about the problem from a different lens, which ultimately led to finding and correcting the flaw.
Thank you Greg_Deckler ! At first glance, this looks promising. I'm nearing the end of my day but look forward to delving in more tomorrow to test the solution.
