Removing empty Numbered List items from Module with Time & Version dimensions

CallumWright

Hi all,

 

I want to be able to create a "cleaning" dashboard that removes redundant line items from a numbered list.

 

I have a module that has the numbered list in question with dimensions TIME and VERSION, which acts as my data hub and records all the information for reports on the system.

 

My first attempt to build this view was to have the list in a new module, line items for all the versions pointing back at the data hub with formula: [SELECT: TIME.All Periods, SELECT: VERSIONS.Actual] ("actual" swapped for each of the different versions).

 

I then had a line item "If is Blank" that is boolean formatted and that has the formula :IF Actual = 0 AND Budget = 0 AND Original Budget = 0 AND 'Budget Bid 19/20' = 0 AND 'Q1 Forecast' = 0 AND 'Q2 Forecast' = 0 AND 'Q3 Forecast' = 0 THEN TRUE ELSE FALSE.

 

This would work if it was not for the effect of totalling the line items against all time periods - eg. if I had a +100 in Apr and a -100 in Mar, the line would be ticked because it sums to zero, even though there was data against it - I do not want to remove lines that have ANY data against them, even if they net to zero!!!

 

I already have a delete function that can pick up the boolean list, I just need to get the right items ticked!

 

Many thanks,

Thank you @DavidSmith !

 

Once implemented it didn't quite work but that was because my formula had AND instead of OR!

 

Have a great day.

This is very clearly laid out and will help people in the future, thank you Kavin!
