Select an account member Select a set of cells
1. What to calculate
(select cells to be calculated)

Set formula attribute Assign formulas at DATA function

2. How to calculate
(declare formulas)

Define parameter of DATA function

3. Additional calculation

4. Best Practice
General rules

• All calculations in an advanced formulas will be executed sequentially

• No explicit commit required between calculations
• Advanced formulas supports only leaf members that don’t have formula
(now)
• There is no “aggregation level” (now) – use fully qualified context always
• Calculation result will be materialized in the model

Model data
2019 data

2019 Revenue

© 2019 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 22

General rules

Define calculation scope explicitly by MEMBERSET as long as you don’t want to run it on entire mod
IF is the function to manipulate calculation scope for specific calculations

Don’t need to copy “Revenue”

Model data
2019 data

2019 Revenue

© 2019 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 23

General rules

Simplify advanced formulas not to use many RESULTLOOKUP and DATA

Each DATA and RESULTLOOKUP causes query that impacts performance
A calculation that contains many RESULTLOOKUPs could causes performance and memory issues

Model data
2 RESULTLOOKUPs involved 2019 data

2019 Revenue

© 2019 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 24

General rules

FOREACH could cause performance issue

FOREACH will multiply number of DATA and RESULTLOOKUP
Next iteration can read the calculated result of previous iteration
“Ending” of a month will be copied to “Opening” of the
next month

© 2019 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 25

Aggregation (1/2)

Sum “net available hours”

of all of staffs

If there are two Regions (“Korea”, “China”) are in MEMBERSET, …

Korea Korea
China China
+ + +
90200099 Aggregation 90200010 90200020 90200030 90200140

query all accounts at once and move to one account Better Memory consumption

Aggregation (2/2)

Calculate “Personal holiday Infra Factor” by

averaging “Personal holidays Infra” for recent 13
months

Exactly same pattern with previous example

Member variable

Useful to aggregate values with dimensionality without materialization in the model

Advanced Formulas
• Delete:
• Delete function lets you delete records

• Multi Version Support:

• Resultlookup now lets you reference any other version

• Virtual Variable Member:

• You can define a virtual variable member to store intermediate calculated values that
can be reused elsewhere when necessary. There is no need to create a temporary
member to aggregate and store intermediate calculation values.

• Link:
• Like the ability to link to source models utilizing account formulas, you can now use
the link function within advanced formulas to copy or read data from other models.

• Performance Improvements:
• With Wave 03.2019 a significant performance improvement has been achieved. You need to re-save your
advanced formula on Wave 03 to benefit from the improvements.
