Hello John,
meanwhile this simple example and the link between the models works.
It seems like there was a bug, which got fixed. I didn't change anything and since several days it works like it should.
This is the correct result I got:
I do not use any kind of remote system. All the data are uploaded via CSV manually into C4A.
As I described above, this was a very simple example. The functionality of linking models together to use the data within one visualisation is very important for our use cases. So I tried to build a more detailed example.
But in this example the system always presents one of the two used key figrues as the overall sum of the values instead of the correct single values.
Here you can see the two different visualisation of the two used models.
I cannot share more details, because it is company data, but in general each model has 10 data records and a key which is the customer number. The keys match and are identical. Every record in the first model has excat one matching record in the second model.
So basically a very simple situation.
The only difference to the first example is, that here I use two different Account dimensions.
In the first example I used the same Account dimension with the only keyfigure called "value". You can see this in the pictures of the first blog entry.
And the following image reprents the result which I got. I used the link dimensions as described in the user guide but as you can see "Herstellkosten fix" has always the same value (the sum of all datarecords of this type).
Are you familiar with this problem? Could it be a bug or is there anything I did wrong?
We need to fix this problem asap.
Another question:
I always have to include at least one of the linked dimension into my visualisation to show key figures from different models together. But in this case I do not have the possibility to aggregate the values furthermore. Is there any way to include the linked dimension, but to hide it, so I can aggregate? The link dimension is our cases a granular dimension and this would be a limitation.
Thanks a lot and best regards,
David
