Scaling Data on report BPC 10.0

Question

Hi All,
I would like to know if anyone had solve the problem on ScalingData. On our latest version (7.5) we had a drop-down list (€, K€, M€) which changed my entire report. In the new version I can't find a similar way, the ScalingData function doesn't allow you to perform it on the entire report.
Is there a way to manage scaling data like the currency ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
there is, but it is a bit hidden ....
step 1: use the SCALING property in the account dimension to identify the accounts you want to scale (Y) versus those you do not want to scale (N). For example you probably would not want to scale number of employees etc.
step 2: use the EPMSCALEDATA function in a report. The easiest way I have found to use this on the entire report is to use it via the formatting sheet.
on the formatting sheet, go to the use cell, the example uses the default colum format
double click and select & highlight content only
select the override option on the right and enter your empscale data function
confirm with the override button below.
the formatting sheet should now look something like this
cell c2 on the report sheet has the factor as a number such as 1, 1000, etc., cell d5 is the first column header and c6 the first row header. this is what the report for this example looks like
As you can see, the empscaledata function has been inserted into every data cell of the report.
Hope this helps.
BR,
Arnold
