I want to get sales data for the last (suppose 10) dates
dynamically
using value prompt how can i do it and drag it onto report
editor.

Answer Posted / sunil.hit

actually its not that easy as it seems.
Transformation is required for accurate data. which is at high prioritization.

1)create a transformation table ...year to day type.
2)add this table to warehouse catalog
3)create a new attribute with many to many transformation mapping
4)update your schema obj
5)now create new matric...use (sum(sales)-last_10_days)
exp
6) place this particular metric and apply a dynamic prompt


it should work perfectly fine for every kinda data...for months also you can do in same way. but creating transformation is must.
