Semi-Additive Measures (Cost Center Model)
Return to Cost Center Model Overview
The Cost Center
cube is set up to handle semi-additive measures. The semi-additive behavior can be declared for elements of the Cost Type
dimension and will affect the aggregation along the Month
dimension. This can be useful if, in addition to amounts stored in regular accounts, non-additive statistical figures (e.g. FTE or head count) are also added to the Cost Type
dimension and thus stored in the Cost Center
cube. The semi-additive behavior can be set to Average of children
, First child
, or Last child
(see related article Using Semi-Additive Measures).
For some elements in the Month
dimension, exceptions from aggregation behavior have been defined:
Month element |
Aggregation inclusion |
|
Data Total: The value will be added to the first, last, or average value of the regular month elements. |
|
Include in First/Last: |
|
Remove from First/Last: |
