How to write feeders for the below rules

[Radhika]

Hi All,

I have the below rules written on a sales cube. I am unaware how to write feeders for the elements part of if loop.

SKIPCHECK;
['Result_Rate']=n:if (['Rate']<>0,['Rate'],DB('FeeRates_PP',!Partnerships,!Version_64,!Year, ATTRS('RateMonth',!RateMonth,'PriorMonth'),'Result_Rate',!FeeBands));
['Result_Band']=n:if (['Band'']<>0,['Band''],DB('FeeRates_PP',!Partnerships,!Version_64,!Year, ATTRS('RateMonth',!RateMonth,'PriorMonth'),'Result_Band',!FeeBands));
Feeders;

Please help me.

Thanks,
Radhika

Hi
Maybe start by
1. reading some of the other posts on Feeders as this could/should be quite an easy one
2. posting a rule that actually would compile, or does it really?
3. after reading other posts on feeders posting the required information so others are able to help you

Cheers

I'll be somewhat more explicit than Gregor (though I agree with him).
Repeat after me, 1, 2,3 ....

You apply a rate to something else eg Value = Quantity x Price . Feed from Quantity.

True, true.

Sometimes you might feed values simply so they will display in zero-suppressed view... hard to say if this applies in the case of the OP's question.

Radhika - there is information online that will help you with basic information about how feeders work
