In Finicast, I am unable to apply my formula on a group of cells in my pivot table


I was trying to build a periods model using Finicast. I am stuck at this step where I apply a formula to the cells with dimension 'Fcst' and 'Revenue' in my pivot table. Based on my understanding, if I select Revenue cell for month of Jul22, the formula THIS("idx") should have been applied and the cell should contain the value 7 instead of 0. I have other formulas applied to this cell. But I have my rev_fcst formula top precedence to apply on this cell. Irrespective of which order I apply the formulas in, in this selection, the value for months & Revenue cells remain 0.

What am I missing here?

I have added images of my formula bar, pivot table, and dimensions

The rows highlighted by selecting Fcst and Revenue

periods table for reference


Solution

  • Looking at the image you posted, you have a set of "hardcoded" 0's for Jul22, Aug22 and Sep22. Click on those cells and press the Delete key to remove the hardcodes, and then the underlying formula will show-up again.
