Hello,

 

In a DataView I have a block that contains calculations on entities and cubes. I want to store the Totals of this calculated block in an entity.  How do I do that?

 

Best regards,

Steven

    Hi,

     

    the simplest way would be to extract this layout to disk (Procedure Step) and use a DataReader to load the data to an entity.

    Otherwise #Nexel would be also an option

    ok thanks Björn.  How would I capture the total with #Nexel?

    Hi Bjorn,

     Using nexel we calculated the total but again if we need to store that total to an entity, we have to write procedure and using data reader we need to load that value to the entity right?

    Hi Niharika,

     

    no, you can also write directly into an entiy/cube.

     

    We have a simple example in our Manual: Nexel using the write implace option.

     

    Regards
