So this part is interesting, and the TEMP cube I guess are kind of like "helper columns" I might use in excel when doing calculations. Step 7 to 10, could you explain the thought process why we designate the temp cube to be populated with GBP by multiplying the rates, and then in another data flow say BUD - DF - Profit and…

Level 200: Module 211, regarding the "Budget is Locked" label that we put on the screens
Can someone walk me through the logic of how this works? I've tested mine and it all works, for example the "Functional test of the solution" asked me to lock italy. Then I go to the sales planning screen and toggle to Italy then it shows the "Budget is Locked" caption. Great! But there's no way I could recreate this on my…

Level 200, Module 206 5% increase to budget
While this seems like a great procedure in the module, for our org, curious how easy it would be for the % uplift to be dynamic for cases like this.

Selectors not resetting
Hi - I'm in level 200: Module 203. For these selectors, for the bottom one for example, i selected 1 out of 122. Now, there doesn't seem to be a way to "select all" salespersons again. It's almost like I would have to select all 122 for it to reset. The reset button doesn't actually work.

Question on clearing cubes
Are you able to explain this further to me? I guess, if there is another month of sales activity, will clearing the cube not be necessary? Trying to understand when it is necessary or not to clear the cube. And, how do we clear the cube again? I'm still in Level 200 training.

I've tried dragging every which way within it, but no reaction from the…
