Calculates a total for a fixed number of consecutive periods surrounding the current period.
The template presents a measure of the analytic view, an attribute dimension the analytic view is dimensioned by, a hierarchy that uses the attribute dimension, numbers that specify the number of members before and after the current member, and a level. To select a different value, click the underlined value in the template and make a selection from the Select Measures dialog box or the drop-down list or enter a different number value.
Template
Moving total (sum) for the measure name measure for the attribute dimension alias attribute dimension and the hierarchy name hierarchy. Include number preceding and number following members within { level | parent | ancestor at level level name }.
Example: Example of Moving Total
The units_mov_total calculated measure computes the total number of units within the range of time periods that include: the current time period, the previous period, if any, and the next time period, if any.
Calculation in Template
Moving total(sum) for the UNITS measure for the TIME_ATTR_DIM dimension and TIME_HIER hierarchy. Include 1 preceding and 1 following members within level.
Definition of Calculated Measure in Analytic View
The MEASURES clause of the SALES_AV analytic view definition includes this definition of the units_mov_total calculated measure:
units_mov_total AS
SUM (UNITS)
OVER (HIERARCHY TIME_ATTR_DIM.TIME_HIER
BETWEEN 1 PRECEDING AND 1 FOLLOWING
WITHIN LEVEL)
