Re: Add Subtotals Support in Export Data Set feature for Unbalanced Entities
Exporting subtotals of unbalanced hierarchies is really a complicated thing. In particular if the entity structure is not stable. A lot of auxiliary calculations have to be done to get this work and save values on node elements.
A native support of this feature would be highly welcomed. However, I seen currently little progress on this topic.

Very good point, that would sabe much time!
Re: relationships in data reader
Hello Prince,
Thank you for your answer! The lookup formula has only 3 arguments, so I didn't manage to make it work. I will try your second solution.
Have a nice day!

Re: FlexGrid - Grand Total line
It would be great if gridlines can also be enabled in Flex Grid
Re: Use Entity in Algorithm - Entity showing the count of members not the value
Hi Efraim,
Why don't you use a cube? A cube with the dimension Customer A would suffice, into which you write the content of the entity using data flow in a procedure.
Then you use the cube as a block instead of the entity.
Best regards,
Dietmar

Re: Level 200, Module 204: Why is the RUN button not enabled after following mentioned steps?
Hi @Shaun Owen
Thank you for the guidance! The below steps worked perfectly for me.
- Select the relevant Data Reader(s)
- Expand the view to display additional columns
- Use Ctrl + mouse wheel to zoom out, or
- Adjust/expand the grid columns so the File column is visible
- Locate the File column
- Click the file selector (magnifying glass icon) and choose the required source CSV file
The issue was that my screen was at 100% zoom, so the File column wasn’t visible. After zooming out to 80%, I was able to see the column and select the source files.
Really appreciate your support!
Re: Use Entity in Algorithm - Entity showing the count of members not the value
Okay I've queried it internally and it seems that unfortunately this is a known limitation, when you get to three or more entities the order of the entities can impact whether or not it will work as expected or give you the tuple count as you're seeing.
Re: Level 200, Module 204: Why is the RUN button not enabled after following mentioned steps?
Hi @Prince,
This behavior is expected and typically occurs when no source file is selected for one or more Data Readers.
In Board, the RUN button is enabled only after all selected Data Readers have a valid source file assigned. Until this condition is met, the Data Readers cannot be executed.
Why the RUN button is not enabled
If the File column is empty for any selected Data Reader:
- The Data Reader cannot be executed
- The RUN button remains disabled
(Screenshot – No file selected for the Data Reader)
How to view and select the source file
If the File column or file names are not visible in the Data Readers grid:
- Select the relevant Data Reader(s)
- Expand the view to display additional columns
- Use Ctrl + mouse wheel to zoom out, or
- Adjust/expand the grid columns so the File column is visible
- Locate the File column
- Click the file selector (magnifying glass icon) and choose the required source CSV file
(Screenshot – File column expanded and file selected)
What happens after file selection
Once all required source files are selected:
- The file names appear in the File column
- The RUN button becomes enabled
- You can proceed with executing the Data Readers and uploading the data
