Pivot table - calculate difference between 2 data points

I have a pivot table that shows Q1 2008 revenue, and Q1 2009 revenue, by account.
How do I create a summary column on the right that shows the difference between these 2 values? 2009 value minus 2008 value.
example:
2008 2009
Account Q1 Q1 Revenue Growth
Joe's Garage $1000 $2500 $1500
Thanks

You can try one thing. In the pivot table design, if you have any field in columns then create a formula,name it growth and write $3 - $2.
This will represent the subtraction of 2nd column from 3rd.
IF you don't have any field in columns, then duplicate any of the existing ones,pull it in columns and build the same formula.
Let us know if this works.

  • Difference between Data staging and Dimension Table ?

    Difference between Data staging  and Dimension Table ?

    Data Staging:
    Data extraction and transformation is done here.
    Meaning that, if we have source data in flat file, we extract it and load into staging tables, we take care of nulls, we change datetime format etc.. and after such cleansing/transformation at then end, load it to Dim/Fact tables
    Pros: Makes process simpler and easy and also we can keep track of data as we have data in staging
    Cons: Staging tables need space hence need memory space
    Dimension Table:
    tables which describes/stores the attribute about specific objects
    Below is star schema which has dimension storing information related to Product, Customer etc..

    hi,
    like -> used for refering existing data elements in data dictionary or in sap
    type -> used for refering existing data types in sap.
    types: used for creating used defined structure of tables which has fields from more tahn one table.
    diff b/w types and type in creation of internal tables is that when u create a table with types then u can use same for work area creation also.
    ex:
    TYPES : BEGIN OF t_vbap,
    vbeln1 LIKE vbeln,
    posnr LIKE posnr,
    kwmeng LIKE kwmeng,
    netpr LIKE netpr,
    netwr LIKE netwr,
    werks LIKE werks,
    matnr LIKE matnr,
    arktx LIKE arktx,
    END OF t_vbap.
    data: itab1 type t_vbap
            wa_itab1 type t_vbap.
    when type is used then u have to create a defintion of work area for another time when internal table doesnt have headr line as
    ex:
    DATA : BEGIN OF t_vbap OCCURS 0,
    vbeln1 LIKE vbap-vbeln,
    posnr LIKE vbap-posnr,
    kwmeng LIKE vbap-kwmeng,
    netpr LIKE vbap-netpr,

  • Difference between Data Grid and Data Forms

    Hi all,
    What is the difference between data grid and data forms.

    Data entry forms are pre defined and are generally used to manually input data into reporting (financial statement) schedules.
    They can also be used for reviewing purposes and it gives users a presentable / and consistent format to view data in Hyperion.
    Data grids are the equivalent of pivot tables in excel. It should be used for ad hoc purposes to view / analyse data in whatever form you choose. The user has the flexibility to choose what they see in the rows, columns and page dimensions.
    One of the main differences between data entry forms and data grids is that you can’t export data grids to excel whereas you can with data entry forms. Other differences are:
    1. Run consolidation, translation, promotion from data grids but not in data entry forms.
    2. You can link other data entry forms to a data entry form
    3. Data entry forms offer greater formatting options than in data grids i.e. colours, fonts, bold, italics.
    At the end of the day, they are similar and there is no reason why you can’t have (use) both. It all depends on your local needs on how best you use both.
    I hope above information helps.

  • Need Help to calculate difference between times

    I have two fields which just stores the time in 24 hour format ex: 08:00 and 20:00 now I want to calculate difference between the two times

    Thanks for your help

    Are your fields of varchar2 datatype or...?
    Is 08:00 the start time or 20:00?
    Date arithmetic is pretty simple in Oracle if you use the right datatype.

  • Difference between data target & Infoprovider.

    Hi all,
    Difference between data target & Infoprovider.
    why cube is best in performance wise other than ods,multiproviders.
    Thanks,
    cheta.

    A data target is an object into which data is loaded. Data targets are the physical objects relevant during data modeling and when loading the data.
    Structure
    Data targets are:
    InfoCubes
    ODS objects
          InfoObjects (characteristics with attributes, texts or hierarchies).
    There are differences between:
    Pure data targets for which no queries can be created or executed. An InfoCube might only be used as a data source for another InfoCube. This is also possible for ODS objects and InfoObjects.
    If you want a characteristic to appear in the InfoProvider tree, you have to assign an InfoArea to it. You can define update rules for the characteristic in the InfoProvider tree, and use them to load attributes and texts.
    You can turn a characteristic into a data target only if the characteristic contains texts or attributes. It is not possible to use update rules to load hierarchies.
    Data targets for which queries can be defined. These are called InfoProviders.

  • Difference between Dates: BW Query???

    Hello all,
    A.I have to get the difference between dates i.e Date1 and Date2.
    I have used a 2 formula variables for each one of them with Replacement path - Key - number as the settings.
    When i execute the difference between the 2 formula variables, i get inconsistent results if the dates are from 2 different months.
    Example(Correct Result)
    Date1 = 14.02.2005
    Date2 = 10.02.2005
    Result = 4
    Example(Incorrect Result)???????
    Date1 = 14.02.2005
    Date2 = 10.01.2005
    Result = 104
    Iam know that system is converting the date as a number like 20040214 and 22040110 and just substracts.....This is not correct....any solution to circmvent this problem???
    B.If iam using a user-exit for variables, how to pass the values Date1 and Date2 to user-exit so that i can calculate the difference of days using a function module.
    I know how to use a user-exit but not sure about working on 2 fields at a time for a formula variable????

    1) For the first problem, I think you should play with the replacement path settings (type, offset,...).  I did this before and I'm sure it worked.
    2) If the variables are entered in the variable screen there is no problem to use a function module (it works with steps --> look at the how-to), but I think you want to calculate not on variables but on the keyfigure values itself, in this case you will have to use virtual characteristics.  There is also a how-to about this, I can't help you with the details my self.

  • What is the difference between data base objects and runtime objects

    What is the difference between data base objects and runtime objects

    Hi raja,
    data base objects means u can have the presence of these objects in the database.So the tables,searchhelps,structures,lockobjects comes under these ones.
    Runtime objects are created and destroyed after the program ends, any changes we make to them are temporary only.

  • Difference between Data-centric and Document-centric use

    Hi,
    Can someone suggest what exactly is the difference between Data-centric and Document-centric use and examples if any.
    Thanks in advance.
    Chaitanya

    Maybe it helps if you look at it this way...
    Document centric: document centric use of xml data is data that you always use in its complete form. If you want to use the data, then you always will retrieve it as one entity or you save it as one entity. You are not interested in the xml data / information inside this "package" / document, you are only interested in its total form. Lets say, you have an invoice which can be printed on one sheet of paper. This paper that contains you data, will always be treated in a document driven way, that is, in its total representation: information containted on a sheet of paper (document).
    Data centric. data centric use of xml, is usage of data were the main interest point is focused on only pieces of the total set of xml data within a document. So instead of being interested in the whole invoice, you only are interested in information like "amount of money to be payed" or "invoicenumber".
    Handling of XML data comes with (hidden) costs. Knowing how your data will be used, has to be used, is one of the first steps in designing you environment (and will have an big impact if you choose poorly). For instance, if you know that your data will always be handled (and must be stored) in a document driven way, then it will make sense to store it based on CLOB based XMLType storage. This will garantee best performance retrieval for your xml document. If you now that your xml data has to be stored so that it can be handled in a data centric way, then Object Relational XMLType storage. If conditions are setup properly data retrieval, inserts and updates will be more cost efficient then when based on CLOB XMLType storage.
    There are more differences and "cost markers" when or when not to use CLOB, OR or for instance Binary XML. The first two chapters of the XMLDB Developers Guide for Oracle 11g will give you a good head start making some of those decisions. Be also aware that you probably will have to make compromises. The current state of XML, for example, doesn't have the final solution yet for a uniform storage method.

  • Difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration"

    Hi Gurus,
    Can anyone tell me the difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration". I have gone through Google but doesn't find any appropriate answer for that where I can find the difference.
    It would be highly appreciated if you give me a link for all and give me some point out.
    Thanks & Regards
    Nimai Karmakar

    Here is how I see the terms used and understood by most folks
    "Data replication"
    This is the keeping the same data in sync in 2 different databases.  Replication is the process of keeping data in sync between 2 environments/databases and not limited to Oracle to Oracle, it could be Oracle to MySQL to be kept in sync, MySQL to Oracle, Oracle to SQL Server, SQL Server to Oracle.  The purpose of keeping data in sync can vary, but that is basic description of what it is.
    "Data Cloning"
    Make a copy of the data/database from one database environment to another, like for example taking production database and cloning the database to a pre-production database/environment for testing.  Coning term is used more when copying a database not just data, but the whole database so typically you hear the reference "Database Cloning", but data cloning is basically the making a copy of the data from one place to another.  Sometimes Cloning and Duplicating are used in the same way by folks as the basic end result is the same you are making a copy of the data to someplace else.
    "Data duplication"
    This is typically term when duplicating the data from one environment to another for a particular purpose, a lot of folks use "Data/Database Cloning" and "Data Duplication" in the same context, meaning they use them to mean the same thing, but I see more difference in the terms so when they are different Data Duplication is done when combining 2 databases to 1 therefore you can not clone the 2 databases into one so this term would be used more in those circumstances.
    "Data Migration"
    Moving data from one location/database to another location database, for example moving from MySQL to Oracle you would do a data migration from MySQL to Oracle as you are moving the data from MySQL to Oracle and going to leave it in Oracle.  You could also be migrating to from Oracle 10g environment to a new Oracle 11g environment, therefore "Migration" is typically used when referring to moving the data from one environment to another and the source and target are different in location, database vendor, database version.
    These are very simple ways of looking at the terms from my experience on how they are used.

    Workbench is used to create, display and modify the objects. It will display the source table data and we can see the logs of the job which we have executed and also we can see the status of a job. In bods 4.2 you can design the dataflow in workbench in previous release we don’t have that option but designer contains debugging option, you can write scripts,  it will support all databases; these option are not available in workbench. for more information refer this document:

  • Difference  between data selection period and personal seletion period

    Hi
    Experts ,
    ples Expline ,
    Difference  between data selection period and personal seletion period. to Data screening .

    Data selection period means
    For example if u given any period,
    here we are checking whether data is valid in this period.
    Personal selection period means
    we are checking whether person is valid in a given period.
    Example is:
    For example if the employee resigned in a company on 15th of month.
    He can get the salary only at the end of month it means his data is avilable upto end of month.
    But when you consider his status from 16th to end of month
    the person is not available.
    So when u given date(16th to end of month) in data selection period is showing that person data is avilable.
    But when mention that date in person selection period it is showing no person is avilable.
    if useful

    Hi Suresh,
    Data Type defines the structure of the message and it will be wrapped under Message Type.
    Hope the details below will clearify your doubts.
    A data type in a programming language is a set of data with values having predefined characteristics. Examples of data types are: integer, floating point unit number, character, string, and pointer.
    The characteristic of columns and variables that defines what types of data values they can store.
