OBIEE Time Series Funstion

Question

Hi,
I have a "Gross Sales Amt LY"
Formula: Ago(Gross Sales Amt, Year, 1)
Now, when I hit obiee I donot see the LY column populated...
however, when I query "Gross Sales Amt LW", that's last week..it's working fine...
Can any of you tell me what can be the reason..or any fixes..
Also, since OBIEE does not generate any SQL for derived columns it's turning out to be a showstopper...
Thanks!
Shib

Hello,
Since LY is a derived column I have a seperate query generated in OBIEE. Interistinglt there's a "Distinct +1" clause showing up..! Have a look at the below query...
Logical SQL:
SET VARIABLE QUERY_SRC_CD='Report',SAW_SRC_PATH='/users/bisystemuser/POC/POC_Shib/Test-LY';SELECT
0 s_0,
"Retail As-Was"."Business Calendar"."Fiscal Date" s_1,
"Retail As-Was"."Item As Was"."Item Number" s_2,
"Retail As-Was"."Organization As Was"."Loc Number" s_3,
"Retail As-Was"."Sales"."Gross Sales Amt LY" s_4,
"Retail As-Was"."Sales"."Gross Sales Amt" s_5
FROM "Retail As-Was"
WHERE
("Item As Was"."Item Number" = '100001001')
ORDER BY 1, 3 ASC NULLS LAST, 2 ASC NULLS LAST, 4 ASC NULLS LAST
Physical SQL for LY:
