Hi Team

Desperately need some help.

I have the following Concept to Achieve.

For a Date Range ( Monthly ) i want to get the Avg cycle time for a Team ( Project ), or as an aggregate value for a business Group ( Project Category )

I’m Struggling

I’m at this point.

Where you can see that i have the Top Category Displayed and then a value.

The value is calculated as

NonZero(
  avg(
    Filter(    
            -- iterate through set of issues
             Descendants([Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember, [Issue].[Issue]),
          
            -- Apply filter criteria to each issue
            -- Only Items with a Started Date, Resolved At Date
            NOT isEmpty([Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember.Get("Dev Started")) AND
            NOT isEmpty([Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember.Get("Resolved at")) AND
            DateInPeriod( 
              [Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember.GetDate("Resolved at"),
              [Time].CurrentHierarchyMember )
                          
          ),
          
         -- Numeric expression - Sum of Date Diff
         DateDiffWorkDays(
          [Issue].CurrentMember.GetDate("Dev Started"),
          [Issue].CurrentMember.GetDate("Resolved at")
    )
  )      
)

This is completely ignoring the Project Value that is in the ROW level. It appears to just be giving me the average of all Issues broken down by time and not project

i have the following Dimensions Created

SO my question is how do i define a report that would give me the Avg Cycle Time based on being have to navigate through Projects which are by Category. Id like to be able to get values at the category level and the project level. Right now it just seems to be ignoring those filters and i have no idea how to create a filter to get the information i want thanks

Hi @mrhaboobi,

A measure binds data together and defines how dimensions are related to each other and measure itself. Therefore, each calculated measure should refert to some existing numeric measure to respond to the report context (selected values in dimensions on report rows, columns and pages). The measure is a treasure! (see the documentation on ground rules for calculated measures: Calculated measures and members)

You might want to add predefined measures “Issues resolved” to the expression so it would respond the report context. “Issues resolved” fits perfectly in this case because it groups issues by Resolved date which is one of your filter criteria already.

The updated expression might look like this:

NonZero(
  avg(
    Filter(    
      -- iterate through set of issues
      Descendants([Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember, [Issue].[Issue]),
          
      -- Apply filter criteria to each issue
      -- Only Items with a Started Date, Resolved At Date
      NOT isEmpty([Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember.Get("Dev Started")) AND
      NOT isEmpty([Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember.Get("Resolved at")) AND
      --a reference to measure, also check if resolved in the selected period
      [Measures].[Issues resolved] > 0
    ),
          
    -- Numeric expression - Sum of Date Diff
    DateDiffWorkDays(
      [Issue].CurrentMember.GetDate("Dev Started"),
      [Issue].CurrentMember.GetDate("Resolved at")
    )
  )      
)
