Customer Report with multiple conditions?

Question

Hello <<text removed>>
I have a project that I am curious if it is possible using BW and BEx Analyzer.
I have a Cube that contains Customer, Brand, Revenue etc....
Lets say i have the following values
Customer: 1,2,3,4,5,6
Brand:      1,2,3
I need a report, series of reports, or a workbook that can provide the following.
a. List and count of customers that purchased $500+ of only Brand 1
b. LIst and count of customers that purchased $500+ of only Brand 2
c. List and count of customers that purchased $500+ of only Brand 3
d. List and count of customers that purchased $500+ of Brand 1 and $500+ of Brand 2
e. List and count of customers that purchased $500+ of Brand 1 and $500+ of Brand 3
f. List and count of customers that purchased $500+ of Brand 1, $500+ of Brand 2 and $500+ of Brand 3.
I think you get the point
This report should look at the previous 12 months of data.  And the Customer should not appear on the report more then once because that is how the criteria presented above should work.
I was able to get this to work for a,b,c by restricting a query to the brand and using a condition of $500+ for revenue
I was also able to get this to work for d and e by using the resolution for the single brand as a value set as input for the dealers in a similiar query restricted to a different brand.
Anyway I hope i can find some ideas/approaches that would meet this requirement!
Thank you,
Nick

Answer 1

Hi Nick,
See if this works.......
Put customer in Rows.
Create 3 restricted key figures for Revenue one with each brand. gets difficult if you want to do this for many brands...
Create a calculated key fig and use the expression revenue_rkf1 > 500. this expression in the calc key fig returns 1 if revenue is > 500, othewise returns 0. Similarly create 2 more CKFs with expressions using the other RKFs for revenue.
Now report may look like this:
Customer      brand1         brand2          brand3
Cust1...........            0..........                   1............                    1
Cust2...........            1..........                   1...........                     0
Now add logic to get customers who bought brand 1 > 500 and brand2 > 500 and other combinations. For that create different formulas like brand1brand2, brand 2brand3, brand1brand3, brand1brand2+brand3.
Now report may look like this:
Customer      brand1         brand2          brand3     for1        for2       for3       for4
Cust1..........0............1..........1........1......2....1.....2
Cust2..........1............1..........0........2......1....1.....2
cust3..........1............1..........1........2.......2....2.....3
Now create 4 calc key figures. In CKF1 use expression for1 > 1. This checks if value in formula1 is greater than 1, if yes puts 1 otherwise 0. Use the same expression for CKF2 and CKF3 using for2 and for3. Create CKF4 with expression for4 > 2.
Now the report looks like this:
Customer      brand1         brand2          brand3     for1        for2       for3       for4    CKF1      CKF2     CKF3       CKF4
Cust1...........0...........1...........1.......1......2.....1.....2......0........1.......0........0
Cust2...........1...........1...........0.......2......1.....1.....2......1........0.......0........0
cust3...........1...........1...........1.......2......2.....2.....3......1.........1.......1........1
Count of CKF1 gives the number of customers who bought brand1 for 500+ usd and brand2 for 500+ usd.
Count of CKF4 gives the number of customers who bought all brands for more than 500 $ each.
The repot gives the data needed but may not look good with number display against customers.

Murali.
