    To recreate your account groups in flex.bi you will need to create calculated Calculated members that aggregate the accounts you need into groups. First you have to pick a group you want to re-create, always try to work with one group at a time to make this task easier. By default you will have the groups Asset, Liability, Equity, Income and Expense created for you already. This example will contain several methods of aggregating accounts into groups:

  1. Defining Interval of Accounts


This example will show you how to aggregate accounts to recreate the Sales group visible in the Profit and Loss Report Definition image by using an interval method ( ":" symbol).

Upload all of the data needed for the financials cube as described here.

Navigate to the financials cube in flex.bi and start creating a new report. Place the Account dimension in the Rows section and the Measures in the Columns section. You should see something similar to this.

Creating Calculated member with aggregate function :


Formula  :   Aggregate ( { first member : last member } ) 

Now you will have to create a calculated member, calculated members are explained in detail here.

Create the following calculated member by entering the accounts by clicking on the bookmarks and connecting them with the ":" to create an interval.

 

Info
  •  If you need to  Interval from  "100:199 "  but without 177 then create one more calculated member and  "-" 177  from total
