Target Report

Now we need a report like as follows.

Quarter	2015 ($$)	2016 ($$)
Q1	378000	2363040
Q2	726720	29740
Q3	132740	187320
Q4	34200

Solution:

1) Create a calculation View

2) Take a projection and consume your target tables.

3) Create 2 calculative column. 1 is Year and another is Quarter.

4) Qtr you convert the string to date format and then, use Qtr function to get the quarter of the year.

This is a generic way to convert the string to Date field

Please have the Expression here.

quarter(date(rightstr(“Sale_Date”,(strlen(rightstr(“Sale_Date”, (strlen(“Sale_Date”)-instr(“Sale_Date”,’/’)))) – instr( (rightstr(“Sale_Date”, (strlen(“Sale_Date”)-instr(“Sale_Date”,’/’)))),’/’)))+’-‘+ leftstr(“Sale_Date”, instr(“Sale_Date”,’/’)-1) + ‘-‘ + leftstr(rightstr(“Sale_Date”, (strlen(“Sale_Date”) – instr(“Sale_Date”,’/’))),(instr(rightstr(“Sale_Date”, (strlen(“Sale_Date”) – instr(“Sale_Date”,’/’))),’/’)-1))))

5) Put 2 Projection and Filter with respect to Year. Here Filter with 205 & 2016.

6) Calculate the Total value depend on quantity & Unit price.

7) Then Put an Aggregation node on top of the Projection Node.

8) Add Value as aggregated field in the node ( As shown in the Picture )

9) Do a Full outer join on top of the aggregation node

10 ) Add the output in the semantics Layer.

11) Execute and check the Output

Please let me know if you encounter any issue.
