Symptom
You have created local calculation/formula in Analysis Office with
- Excel formula function
- Analysis Office Toolbar -> Data Analysis -> Calculations
And then you found the "Filter by Measure" option is grayed out in Filter functions,
and there's no "Filter by Measure" option in context menu.
Environment
- SAP Analysis for Microsoft Office
- Release independent
Reproducing the Issue
- Create local calculation in Analysis Office
- Check "Filter by Measure" option
Cause
This is system design.
The local calculation is based on the measure after the backend processing has been finished. While filtering by measure is carried out in the backend. Therefore 'Filter by Measure' is not available on this calculation at this stage.
Resolution
You can add your advise to Continuous Influence Session collaboration platform according to Note 1879237 - Enhancement Request for SAP Analysis for MS Office.
As a workaround you can:
- Create the calculation/formula on query level
or
- Use Excel filter function
