      asint

      Returns the current row as an integer

      Purpose

      Use this function to: 

      • Make results more readable to end-user

      Calculation

      If current row = 34.12, returns 34

      Sample Result

      Parameters

      ParameterDescription
      DimensionsDiscrete field(s).    All fields must come from the same table.
      NameName to be displayed as Column Header in result grid
      Measure

      The field to be used in the post-function calculation.

      • Must be numeric if Function is anything other than COUNT.
      • Must come from same table as DIMENSIONS.
      • Supports Discrete or Continuous DataTypes.
      FunctionCOUNT / SUM / AVG / MIN / MAX / STDEV
      Postasint
      Value

      Optional.   Filter to apply when evaluating FUNCTION.   Only records in the Filter Recordset will be included in the Function and Post-Function calculations.

      Must come from same table as DIMENSION/MEASURE or be linked to the Dimension table.

      Axis0 / 1.    Y-Axis to use when plotting graph.     Default = 0
      PlotY / N.   Specifies whether measure’s output column should be plotted on graph.  Default = Y
      ResolveOptional.   Resolve level for the measure.   If blank, Resolve = Dimension Table
      Series Type

      Default / Bar / Stacked Bar / Line / Spline / RangeLow / RangeHigh / CSLow / CSHigh / CSOpen / CSClose

      Determines the graph style for the measure.

      PopupDefault / None / Extended
      Prefix$ / £ / E / %

      Usage Notes

      If a profile report is being used to display a value that is a decimal, the display can be modified using asint so that the data reads more easily to the end user

      Example

      NOTE: Measure 1 is included purely for illustration. It is not necessary to include this measure for the calculation to work.


      Example use: Expressing a decimal value as an integer

      Dimension:[transactions].[ywoy]

      Measure 1

      • Name: =percent
      • Measure:  = transactions.percent
      • Function: =sum
      • Post: =
      • Value: =
      • Axis: =0
      • Plot:=Y
      • Resolve:=
      • Series Type:=Default
      • Popup:=Default
      • Prefix:=

      Measure 2

      • Name: =asint
      • Measure:  = transactions.percent
      • Function: =sum
      • Post: =asint
      • Value: =
      • Axis: =0
      • Plot:=Y
      • Resolve:=
      • Series Type:=Default
      • Popup:=Default
      • Prefix:=
