Following this example, I can no longer see 'Cost' Measure in the measures in the data selector on the right..Is it the intended bahavior..? What If I still wante d to Raw Cost numbers too.

You need to set

flatDataSource.DimensionsGenerationMode = DimensionsGenerationMode.Mixed;

In this way you can add additional dimensions besides the dimensions built over the properties exposed by your data class.

Because the measure with your custom aggregator will override the default one you need to recreate the default:

DimensionMetadata costMetadata = new DimensionMetadata

{

    SourcePropertyName = "Cost",

    DimensionType = DimensionType.Measure,

    DisplayFormat = "{0:C3}"

};

cubeMetadata.DimensionSettings.Add(costMetadata);

PPilev.

It does not work for me.

I want to be able to add the dimension once the grid is bound the and user chooses to add a measure (dynamically generated and based on other measures) to the grid/UI.

As soon as I add this new measure..it still removes the one it is based on.

Please ignore my last post, it was a little in accurate.

If I did not want to display the "cost" measure .. how is this suppsed to work. In the example you are forcing user to view the "Cost" measure..Will this snippet work without these lines..?

DimensionMetadata costMetadata = new DimensionMetadata

        {

            SourcePropertyName = "Cost",

            DisplayName = "Cost",

            DimensionType = DimensionType.Measure,

            DisplayFormat = "{0:C3} "

        }

Hello Alex,

Please contact me through our developers support team, so we can look into your issue in details.

Best regards.

Hi Plamen,

I’ve decided to post a request for help on my next problem even though I am not sure it is directly related to the name of this (sub) forum. If it (my question) does not relate to what you are usually work on ,   could you pls refer me to a proper forum/specialist ?

Here is the thing:

Few weeks ago with your great help I was able to implement dynamic creation of "derived" columns and provide a logic for evaluation of expressions entered by the users for those columns. In fact those are not measures , but  dimensions.

Recently I have started to get unhandled exceptions from InfragisticsWPF4.Olap.FlatData.v11.1.

Usually it happens when I try to drag another dimension from data selector into the grid . Here is the exception

///////////////////////////////////////////////////

System.IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled

Index was outside the bounds of the array.

 I understand that it is almost impossible to get to the root of teh problem with such info, but maybe it is known issue and there is a patch/workaround for it.

I have also mentioned that it usually happens with desterilized layout views. I use doe persisting a solution offered by Atanas Dyulgerov in his blog :

Thanks a lot,

Have a nice weekend,

Alex

Thanks a lot Plamen,

Based on your example I was able to create virtual dimension without underlaying data source type property for it.

Thanks again,

Alex Nebogatov

Hi Alex,

Have a look at the attached sample. It covers different cases so refer to the comments in code. If you have any questions let me know.

Plamen.

Sorry - forgot to add it in the first place. As far as I understand - using measures is possible for numeric properties only . Am I right ?

Thanks,

Alex
