withoutReportFilter() { expression }
 Only

Only view filter and indicator filter will be applied (available since BellaDati 2.9.4).

Since BellaDati 2.9.17, you can indicate which filter should be ignored by their codes

Code Block
withoutReportFilter('code1','code2')



withoutViewFilter() { expression }

Only report filter and indicator filter will be applied (available since BellaDati 2.9.4).

Since BellaDati 2.9.17, you can indicate which filter should be ignored by their codes

Code Block
withoutViewFilter('code1','code2')



loadData('L_DRILLDOWN', 'M_INDICATOR')

Allows to load values of an indicator for all members of specifiedattribute. it can greatly improve the performance of formulas. The function returna map of members and their values. This map can be accessed by using function getMapValue()


Code Block
languagegroovy
data = loadData('L_DRILLDOWN', 'M_INDICATOR')
getMapValue(data, '[memberId]')

The memberId has to have following format: [memberId] = [L_ATTRIBUTE={Value}]. Usually, the function is used toghether with withoutDrillDown().

Code Block
languagegroovy
withoutDrillDown() { 
data = loadData('L_COUNTRY', 'M_NUMBERS_BUILT')
getMapValue(data, '[L_COUNTRY={Germany}]')
  }

It also possible to use rank or aggregation such as MAX, MIN etc.:

Code Block
languagegroovy
data = loadData('L_DRILLDOWN', 'M_INDICATOR_rank()')
getMapValue(data, '[memberId]') //will return M_INDICATOR_rank()


Code Block
languagegroovy
data = loadData('L_DRILLDOWN', 'M_INDICATOR@MAX')
getMapValue(data, '[memberId]') //will return the highest value of indicator


Instead of indicator, users can also retrieve first of last value of an attribute.

Code Block
languagegroovy
data = loadData('L_DRILLDOWN', 'L_ATTRIBUTE_LASTVALUE')


Code Block
languagegroovy
data = loadData('L_DRILLDOWN', 'L_ATTRIBUTE_FIRSTVALUE')


Passing parameters to time formula

It is possible to define the time entry by formula. Following functions are applicable for these kind of formulas only.

Function

Description

void set(String name, Object value)

Sets the parameter value.

Object get(String name)

Loads the parameter value.

Object indicator()

Returns indicator from the context of the row of current table. This function returns also values of formula defined indicators (defined in report). Example:

Code Block
value(actualYear(),'actualMonth - 1m - 1d',indicator())


Consider following example - we have several indicators with codes M_NAME_1, M_NAME_2 and M_NAME_3. These indicators are used in formulas 1 - 3. The time area is defined by time formulas 1 - 5.


Time formula 1:
M_NAME_1

Time formula 2:
M_NAME_2

Time formula 3:
M_NAME_3

Time formula 4:
s = get('suffix');
return value('M_NAME' + s);

Time formula 5:
value(actualYear(),
'now-1m',indicator())

Formula 1:
set('suffix', '_1');
return M_NAME_1;

Working with lists and arrays

BellaDati supports all Arrays from https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Arrays.html and ArrayUtils from https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-2.6/org/apache/commons/lang/ArrayUtils.html.

Syntax: first define name of the package, then use desired method.

Example:

def int[] a = [1,2,3]
a = ArrayUtils.add(a, 0)
Arrays.sort(a)
return a[3]
