@movavg function or equivalent with DTS?

Question

Hello, I am able to use @movavg function in a formula just fine on a set of months on a time dimension. However, as soon as I wrap a DTS (says a YTD) to the months, I couldn't produce get expected results. Anyone knows what may be the issue here that causes it to give different results. I am open to MDX query or a minor outline design fix as a workaround if it solves the issue. The time dimension contains 4 qtrs and 12 months. <BR><BR>For a sample setup using the Sample | Basic db, please see below:<BR><BR><a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://dev.hyperion.com/techdocs/essbase/essbase_60/Docs/techref/trcmds/c_movavg.htm">http://dev.hyperion.com/techdo...f/trcmds/c_movavg.htm</a><BR><BR>Thanks in advance.<BR><BR> <BR>

Answer 1

Might be able to make it clearer with an example.
+First construct a single table document with these steps:+
Make a document that has a single sheet with a single table. (Table 1)
Enter the following four items (two formulas and two text items) into row 2.
B2: =ROW()-1
C2: word
D2: =C2&" "&B2
E2: ignore
Select these four cells, then drag the small circle at the lower right corner of E2 down to Row 21.
You should now have four columns with the following contents:
Numbers from 1 to 20, "word", "word 1" to "word 20" and "ignore"
+Now add a second sheet and a new table on which you will copy a selected section of the original table just constructed.+
Click the Sheet button at the left end of the toolbar to add a second sheet (with one table).
The list of icons in the sidebar should now be labeled (in this order, top to bottom) Sheet 1, Table 1, Sheet 2, Table 1
Click on the Table 1 icon at the bottom of the list to select it, then click on cell B2 of this (empty) table.
Type = (The formula editor will appear)
In the Sidebar, click the icon for the original Table 1 (located between the icons for Sheet 1 and Sheet 2).
The first table will appear on the screen, but the Formula editor will still be open.
Click on cell B7 of the (filled) table.
The Formula Editor will show "=Sheet 1 :: Table 1 :: B7"
Click the green checkmark to Accept.
The view will jump back to the new table. B2 will show "6" (the contents of B7 on the original table), and will be selected.
Drag the handle down six rows. As you do, the numbers 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 will be added to the list.
Release the mouse button, then click and drag the handle 2 columns to the right.
You've now copied the contents of cells B7 to D12 on the original table to cells B2 to D8 on the new table, and may Print that section (as described previously).
Any values changed in the selected section of the original table will be immediately copied to the new table.
