Hello,
I am implementing a dashboard in Design Studio based on BPC (SAP Planning tool) data stored in HANA. I tried to use a "calculation view" which is based on an "attribute view". The calculation view is called BPC_TIME_DIM based on BPC standard data. It looks like the following table:
| TIME | YEAR | MONTH | ... |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2015.JAN | 2015 | 1 | |
| 2015.FEB | 2015 | 2 | |
| 2015.MAR | 2015 | 3 | |
| 2015.APR | 2015 | 4 | |
| ... | ... | ... | |
| 2015.DEC | 2015 | 12 | |
| 2016.JAN | 2016 | 1 | |
| 2016.FEB | 2016 | 2 | |
| ... | ... | ... | |
If I use the TIME column in Design Studio it will be sorted the wrong way. The first month will be 2015.APR. So I created a flat hierarchy and used the "order by" option of the hierarchy to bring it in the order I would like to see it.
This works fine.
My questions:
- If I hide BPC_TI_MONTHNUM, BPC_TI_YEAR or TIME, because I don't need it for my dashboard/analysis, the hierarchy doesn't work. I can't activate the view. How can I hide columns, which I only need for building a hierarchy, but which are useless for end-users? In other words: I don't want to have these dummy columns visible in the frontends like Design Studio, Analysis for Office, ...
- Is there another way to change the sort order without creating a hierarchy?
Thx in advance an best regards
Stephan
