Environment

  • SAP Analysis for Microsoft Office
  • Release independent

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create local calculation in Analysis Office
  2. 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
