Data entry cube with Formulas?

Hey everyone,

I am currently creating a HR Module where I am calculating the Overall Compensation. with an entity editor. If the employment type is Part time, Hours and wage per hour cells are entered, and the Overall compensation is calculated. If, the employment type is full time, I want the user to input the Overall Compensation in the cube. How can i incorporate both these things, a formula and a data entry within a cube. What am i missing out on?

Hi @Yash Kothari ,

you'll need both—the cube being data entry enabled and an algorithm that calculates the value to be written into the cube. The algorithm needs a so-called reverse algorithm to calculate the value to be written into the cube.

You can find an example in our manual here

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Best,
