As you can see, that in the first image, the Actual cost is calculated correctly, but the Quantity, is anot able to add up and gives multivalue error.
Please help resolve.

Hi Shilpa,
You can use any context In or Foreach.
Ex. =Sum(<Revenue>) In <Year>
      =Sum(<Revenue> In (<Region>,<City>,<Year>) In <Year>)
Use contexts with Aggregation functions like Sum, Count, Min, Max etc.
For better understanding of Calculation Context you can go through following document :
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4sp5_ffc_en.pdf
- Smart measures are the ones which have  projection aggregate set as "Database Delegated" which in turn results measure to be calculated by the database itself.
To create a Smart measures you can use calculated key figure or restricted key figure.
In IDT we can achive it by applying projection for measure object.
Hope this will help....!!!
