Description Missing name Mising name CLA 2007-06-22 04:34:36 EDT
I would like to highlight a row in a crosstab if Forecast value is below Budget value

input
year  product  data_type  value
2007    p1        BUD       4
2007    p1        FC        2

Crosstab-layout
                 data_type
year | product     <value>


Highlight expression
data['data_type']['FC'] less than data['data_type']['BUD']

Result
row including product name is highlighted

I would like to extend this wish to 

Allow formating on Row and Level

at the moment I see no possibility to eg. introduce a gap between years
Comment 2 Lin Zhu CLA 2007-08-01 08:41:46 EDT
The data expression can only be applied to binding NAME, rather than dimension level value, so that the expression like data['data_type']['FC'] less than data['data_type']['BUD'] would not be supported.

However we may consider introduce the idea of Axis Qualifier into highlight/map to fulfill similar functionality.

+1 to enhance the conditional highlighting support to Axis Qualifier.
Comment 4 Lin Zhu CLA 2007-11-29 05:30:53 EST
As per discussion defer the bug to future.
Comment 5 Lin Zhu CLA 2009-05-31 23:39:51 EDT
Suggest to defer the bug to future. The introduce of Axis Qualifier into highlight/map is complex, meanwhile this kind of highlight usage is not very popular.
Comment 6 Wenfeng Li CLA 2009-06-01 00:30:27 EDT
Is there other way to do forecast vs. budget comparison?   or actual vs. budget comparison?

Can you create two metrics one for forecast and one for budget based on the data_type when creating the cube?
