Hi All,
I am new to business objects Webi. I have been working on below requirement
Below is how my detailed level data looks like
| Calmonth | Plant | Material - Key | Cores - Returned | Cores - Not Returned |
| Mar-16 | ABC | 1234 | -33 | 57 |
| Mar-16 | ABC | 1235 | 20 | -1 |
| Mar-16 | ABC | 1236 | 0 | 5 |
| Mar-16 | ABC | 1237 | 0 | 3 |
| Mar-16 | ABC | 1238 | 1 | 9 |
| Apr-16 | ABC | 1239 | 1 | -1 |
| Apr-16 | ABC | 1240 | 5 | 3 |
| Apr-16 | ABC | 1241 | -1 | 1 |
| Apr-16 | ABC | 1242 | 2 | 0 |
For each material I need to check if either of the 2 Metrics are negative, if yes I need to exclude that material from aggregation (aggregation at calmonth level). So my final aggregation should look like
| Calmonth | Cores - Returned | Cores - Not Returned |
| Mar-16 | 1 | 17 |
| Apr-16 | 7 | 3 |
I have tried below approach:
created 2 new variables as below:
1.Sum(If((([Cores - Returned]>=0) And ([Cores - Not Returned]>=0));[Cores - Not Returned];0))ForEach([calmonth;plant;material])
2.Sum(If((([Cores - Returned]>=0) And ([Cores - Not Returned]>=0));[Cores - Returned];0))ForEach([calmonth;plant;material])
Below is the output for above 2 variables along with my original metrics
| Calmonth | Plant | Material - Key | Cores - Returned | Cores - Not Returned | Cores - Returned (New) | Cores - Not Returned (new) |
| Mar-16 | ABC | 1234 | -33 | 57 | 0 | 0 |
| Mar-16 | ABC | 1235 | 20 | -1 | 0 | 0 |
| Mar-16 | ABC | 1236 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 |
| Mar-16 | ABC | 1237 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 3 |
| Mar-16 | ABC | 1238 | 1 | 9 | 1 | 9 |
| Apr-16 | ABC | 1239 | 1 | -1 | 0 | 0 |
| Apr-16 | ABC | 1240 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |
| Apr-16 | ABC | 1241 | -1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Apr-16 | ABC | 1242 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
and I tried to aggregate these 2 variables at calmonth assuming that it will calculate before aggregation (nullifying materials with negative metrics and then aggregate) But it is not working. below is what I got :
| Calmonth | Cores - Returned | Cores - Not Returned |
| Mar-16 | -12 | 73 |
| Apr-16 | 7 | 3 |
So I think calculation (of variables) is happening after aggregation even though I used for each.
Please let me know if my understanding of context aggregation is wrong and also if there is any way to achieve this requirement. Thanks in advance.

Aditya
