Difference Calculation

<<The work around would be a series of ‘if then’ type statements. For
<<example:

<<= if Isnull() then else if Isnull() then
else
<< -

Thanks for the suggestion. I had tried something similar, but I am still
not getting the formula to work when data does not exist for an intersection
under the crosstab. The cross tab is set up as follows

            Scenario Name
            (Value 1 of Scenario)   (Value 2 of Scenario)   Variance

Calc
(“Actuals”) (“Plan”)
Geography 100 75 25
Geography 10 – –

The Formula I am using for the variance is as follows…

= If IsNull( Where (=“Actuals”)) Then
Where( = “Plan”) Else If IsNull( Where (=“Plan”)) Then Where (=“Actuals”) Else
Where (=“Actuals”)- Where (=“Plan”)

This formula should yield a value in the variance column for any case, yet
it is still not calculating a variance when revenue does not exist for a
scenario – either Actuals or Plan!

    Actually <Revenue> is not "Null" when you see blank displayed.
    It means, there is no record retrieved from database for that

.

    Which version of BO are you using.
    Because <Revenue> Where (<Scenario Name>="Actuals")-<Revenue> Where

(=“Plan”), seems to be giving correct results for me.

    Im using BO 4.1.3
