Fix optimization issue

Question

DELETING MY PREVIOUS POST AND SIMPLIFYING IT
i have a member A (stored) FORMULA=B/D/E
B(stored)
HIEARCHY
Z
A+ FORMULA=B/D/E
B+ NO FORMULA
L+
M+
NOW MY CALC SCRIPT
FIX(VERSIONONE,SOURCE,@LEVMBRS(ENTITY,0),@LEVMBRS(LOB,O),FORECAST,2013)
FIX(JAN)
IF(NOT @ISMBR(ENTITY1) AND NOT @ISMBRS(LOB1))
B=D*(PRIOR( A ) * E*F
ENDIF
A;
ENDFIX
FIX(FEB)
IF(NOT @ISMBR(ENTITY1))
B=D*(PRIOR( A )* E*F
ENDIF
A;
ENDFIX.......SO ON ANOTHER 10 FIX FOR MAR,APR TO DEC
tHIS ABOVE SCRIPT WORKS CORRECT
NOW I WANTED TO POTIMIZE IT
SO I WROTE IT IN THIS WAY
FIX(JAN)
IF(NOT @ISMBR(ENTITY1))
B=D*(PRIOR(*A*)* E*F
ENDIF
A;
ENDFIX
FIX(FEB:DEC)
IF(NOT @ISMBR(ENTITY1))
B=D*(PRIOR(A)* E*F
ENDIF
A;
ENFIX
DOES NOT WORK ,thE RESULTS ARE AS FOLLOWS
WHEN I FIRST RAN THE SCRIPT.....DATA IS POPULATED FOR ONLY JAN MONTH
SECOND TIME DATA IS POPULATED FOR ONLY FEB
THIRD TIME ONLY MAR................
SO MY SCRIPT IS CALCULATING B WHICH DEPENDS ON PRIOR( A ),LATER CALCS A WHICH IS BASED ON B.wHEN I AM FIXING (FEB:DEC)IT IS CALCULATING FEB:DEC AT THE SAME TIME SO MISSING THE ORDER OF CALCULATION .
I WANT MY CALCULATION TO HAPPEN IN ORDER ......
ANY SUUGGESTIONS

Hi,
Not completely sure of following, but you can try it.
Make A simply as stored without any formula.
FIX(JAN)
IF(NOT @ISMBR(ENTITY1))
B=D*(PRIOR(*A*)* E*F
ENDIF
A=B/D/E ;
ENDFIX
FIX(FEB:DEC)
IF(NOT @ISMBR(ENTITY1))
B=D*(PRIOR(A)* E*F
ENDIF
A =B/D/E;
ENDFIX
And howz about using @MDSHIFT(A,-1,"Period") instead of @PRIOR(A)?
Also I think it is due to calculation in cell mode,thought not sure.
You can also try using a member/variable to store prior value of A and then use the member/variable later in calculations.
Hope this helps. Guru's can help us to understand this more properly.
