Subject: Restricted/Calculated Key Figure

Question

I am writing a query on 0TCT_C21.  In my Characteristic restriction, I am restricting Process Type to u201CCHAINu201D. Now I want to setup a key figure (it can be calculated or total) which will sum process chain duration (i.e. run time) for all the process types except CHAIN, so it will give total process chain run time. How can I do that?
I setup a Restricted Key Figure, which restricts Duration to all Process Types except CHAIN, but since filtering on PROCESS TYPE CHAIN has already been done, it is showing me process chain run time as 0. Is there a way to do total of all process types even though I have placed a filter?
Thanks a lot,

hi,
Your query seams to have contradictory restrictions.
Your Statement: "In my Characteristic restriction, I am restricting Process Type to u201CCHAINu201D".
You have already restricted teh query with the Process type "CHAIN" and OLAP will take this as Global filter.
But your next statement:
"Now I want to setup a key figure (it can be calculated or total) which will sum process chain duration (i.e. run time) for all the process types except CHAIN,"
By this you want to have key figure with Process Type " Chain".
This CKF/RKF will be considered a Local filter.
The global filter will take preference and The report will fetch the data with Process type " CHAIN " Only .
So after that when your local filter applied on RKF this will 0 as an output.
My suggestion is:
Restrict the Key Figures with the process types as and when required.
Means the key figure value you want to show only for CHAIn and NOT for chain needs to be identified and developed.
Please modfy the requirement to avoid contracdiction of filters.
Thanks
