Exceptional Aggregation in Query Designer

Question

Hello Gurus,
we have an existing  Report at the Material Level on the InfoCube.
Each Material may have multiple POs and we are having multiple
records for each PO varying the date. Now the user want to view
only the record latest changed Record at the PO level
and Sum of all the records at the Material Level.
For this i have created a CKF using the Exception Aggregation
as Maximum for the 0calday. But client want the Report at Material Level
he dont want the PO's details. When i remove the PO from the report
it gives the result for only the latest PO not all the PO for that Material.
For Example we are having below records in the cube.
PO             Material     Calday       Qty         Price
101            ABC          1/12           100         10
101            ABC          2/12            100         10
101            ABC          3/12            100         11
102            ABC          4/12           100         10
104            ABC          5/12            100         10
103            ABC          7/12            100         11
I am getting the result with PO in Rows as Below
PO             Material     Calday       Qty         Price
101            ABC          3/12            100         11
102            ABC          4/12           100         10
104            ABC          5/12            100         10
103            ABC          7/12            100         11
When I remove the PO's From the Rows then it will display
as below i am placing the calday for under standing the
question actually it is not present in the  output of the below report only.
        Material     Calday       Qty         Price
          ABC         7/12          100         11
Which is not currect I have to get the Result as
Material            Qty         Price
    ABC              500         42
My Concerns:
!. Kindly let me know if it is possible and what are the
other things that i need to consider.
2. Did it will impact the performance.
Waiting for your quick replies
Thanks & Regards
KK

Answer 1

Hi KK
Confirmation:
First I need to confirm one thing,
as you mentioned expected output is,
Material            Qty         Price
    ABC              500         42
But I think, it should be
Material            Qty         Price
    ABC              400         42
right?
Answer:
Can you please try below steps and let me know whether it is working as expected or not
Create a basic Key figure for calday and include it in your InfoCube. In the transformation, assign it to same fileld which is a source of calday.
In query, Create a calculated key figure based on calday key figure with exception aggr as last value and reference characteristics as PO.
