Management Reporter: Consolidated Report with a Calculation Row that is a Percentage

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'm trying to create a consolidated report in Management Reporter and I have it working except for one thing.  I have a column set that includes a column for each of the companies being consolidated plus a hidden column for each of the company's intercompany transactions.  I then have a visible column that totals the intercompany transactions.  The last column is the consolidated column and is a calculation that adds the company columns together and then subtracts the column that has the total amount of intercompany amounts from it.  Eveything it working there as expected.

The problem I have is on our Income Statement we have a Gross Profit % row which is calculated by simply dividing the gross profit by the revenue.  The problem is in the total intercompany column and the consolidated column, management reporter is (understandable) adding the values in the other columns in that row as opposed to calculating the percentage based on the values in the column.  Is there any way around this or at the very least any way to hide the incorrect values in those two columns?

Hopefully I've explained this well enough!  Thanks in advance!

    Thanks!

    Had the same vexing issue and just couldn't find the calc priority setting.  Perused reams of MS "documentation", and should have come here sooner.

    I'm glad that took care of the calculation issue! Just be sure the other calculations are correct, as sometimes this setting can affect other calculations that were correct before.

    Changing the calculation priority was the key!  Thanks!

    Hello,

    You can hide certain columns in the column definition. However, hiding them does still include them in the calculations.

    The other thing you could try would be to change the "Calculation priority" options under the Settings tab in the Report Definition. Typically, row calculation is first. You could try to use the column calculation first instead and generate the report again.

    Give that a try and let me know your results.
