I'm facing a challenge in Management Reporter related to report tree structures with multiple levels. My goal is to apply formulas created in row definitions only at the lowest level of the report tree structure, ensuring that higher levels simply aggregate the numbers from below.
Here's a specific example to illustrate my issue:
I'm managing the financial statements for a hotel group. One hotel accounts for 'available rooms per day' in account S820 and 'operating days in a month' in account S830. For instance, S820 stores the number of daily sellable rooms as 10 (@110), and S830 shows the opening days in a month as 20 (@120). I've calculated the total sellable rooms in a month in @130 as @110*@120, which logically equals 200.
Now, if there's a second hotel with S820 = 15 and S830 = 30, the sum there is 15*30 = 450.
However, when moving to a consolidated level, the calculation goes awry: @110 sums to 25, and @120 to 50, leading to an incorrect calculation of 1250, whereas the correct sum should be 10*20 + 15*30 = 650.
I tried using a formula to detect if I'm at a higher unit level (IF @UNIT) to adjust the calculation by dividing the days by the number of hotels. Yet, this approach also fails because it results in: @110 = 25 @120 = 50/2 = 25
And thus, 25*25 = 625, which is not the correct total of 650.
I'm seeking a simple solution to accurately calculate these numbers at the consolidated level without distorting the individual hotel data. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
