Feeding calculated consolidated cell

Hi,
I need some help in feeding a calculated consolidated cell. The attachment shows the test cube.
A simple explanation of what I'm trying to do here: I'm trying to have % calculation based on "Change" divided by "Opening" but only on subtotal level.
I tested feeders on detail level and it works but once changing the rule to calculate on C: level it won't.
Any help is appreciated.
Kenneth
Code: Select all
Skipcheck;
['%']=C:
DB('Test', 'Change', !zA, '$')
\
DB('Test', 'Opening', !zA, '$')
;
Feeders;
['$'] => ['%'];

Do you need to feed anyway, or can you for example work with fixed report layouts ?
At least for the cells involved in the calculations, or can they be put alongside fed cells in the same report and don't need feeding themselves ?

Hi Wim,
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately the answer is yes. Basically the whole purpose is to get the % calculation on consolidated level only.
In the example shown, I need the 43.53% and couldn't show it unless the % calculation is applied to all leaf elements.

Have you considered making % a consolidated element with $ as it's child. As long as there's no requirement to input % and it's always a calculation this is an option that'll remove the need for feeder statements.

This is the way.

The suggestion to make % the parent of $ works.
Thanks a lot!
