An easy way to average data

Hello,

Very recently, I had the need to calculated yearly FTEs in an HR cube. The yearly FTE is the average of months (those with data, that is).

The existing function ConsolidatedAverage() does not help: it goes to all the non-zero leaf level cells and takes the average.

Needed By Quarter

    This idea is not under consideration. Modern Planning Analytics client tools such as Planning Analytics Workspace already make it possible to defined a set of members that contain data, and build a calculation of the average of those members.


    Also, the documentation for ConsolidatedAvg (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/planning-analytics/2.0.0?topic=functions-consolidatedavg) explains how to optionally ignore zero values.
