Exclude Closed Stories for Un-estimated Story Count

Questions & Answers
1

Hi,

I have a situation where I am trying to get a count of stories that are un-estimated. I am finding that I have some stories that are un-estimated and also has a status of closed . I would like to exclude the stories that are closed from that count. I have tried filter function, but I am not correct on syntax. Can you help me with that?

Thanks,
GA

May I ask how do you count number of issues with un-estimated? I am rather new and have not been getting an accurate count of un-estimated issues.

For your specific question of excluding closed stories, would [Measures].[Issues closed]>0 as a condition to filter be useful? this is what used in the demo eazybi.com/accounts/1000/cubes one of the predefined measure “Average closing days”. Perhaps you can use the Filter function in your formula?

Hi kkt,

To get Count of Unestimated Stories
First, I am getting a Total Story Count for the release by using the following:

Nonzero((
[Measure].[Issues created],
[Issue Type]. [Story],
[Fix Version.By name].[]
))

Then I am getting Count of Estimated Stories for the release by using the following:

NonZero((
[Measures].[Issues with Story Points created],
[Issue Type].[Story],
[Fix Version.By name].[]
))

Finally, I take Total Story Count and subtract Count of Estimated Stories
to get Count of Unestimated Stories. This has been accurate for me, so far. I’m new to this as well!!

Hi @gammons,

You have done a fine job by creating the calculations for the unestimated stories. Tuples are very powerful and perform really fast.

To exclude issues that are in the status “Closed”, try to create a calculated member in the Status dimension that aggregates all the Status dimension members except “Closed” with the Except() function - https://docs.eazybi.com/eazybi/analyze-and-visualize/calculated-members/mdx-function-reference/except.

Aggregate(
    Except(
    [Status].[Status].Members,
    {[Status].[Closed]}
  ))

Now you can add that calculated member to both tuples:

Nonzero((
  [Measure].[Issues created],
  [Issue Type]. [Story],
  [Fix Version.By name].[],
  [Status].[Except Closed]
))
-
NonZero((
  [Measures].[Issues with Story Points created],
  [Issue Type].[Story],
  [Fix Version.By name].[],
  [Status].[Except Closed]
))

Kind regards,
