, I like this video very much - especially the idea to utilize the wizard as an easy & lightweight entry to the sometimes confusing world of formulates... ;-)
What are the prerequisites for getting this working? How should the model be designed? Is it obligatory to have Time Intelligence in your model?
Or, to put it the other way around: It works for me with Pyramid's Sales Model but not with my own models (Direct Query, Exasol).An exemplary observation: “last 6 months” obviously does not mean the last 6 months from now, but the last 6 months that exist in the model. Since I have future months in my model - but still without corresponding facts/measured values - I always get an empty result.
Perhaps you can share some common thoughts about the prerequisites or the things I should take care of. With actual problems or errors I would better go to the Support Team.
THANKS & best regards,
Michael
