3735521 - Total for Measure configured with Max Aggregation Type in Cross-Table widget in does not show total for the measure only repeats the Max value in Successfactors People Embedded Analytics

Symptom

  • In the particular Table Widget the option "Show Totals" is enabled with the following 1-1 aggregated column present:
    • For “Amount (Rate)”, the aggregation type is NONE (which behaves the same as SUM).
    • For “Amount (Travel)”, the aggregation type is MAX.
  • The Totals is correctly shown for the aggregation type none column.
  • The MAX is not correctly shown as only the 1st row is shown as total.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Platform
  • Story Reports

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open Report Center and run a Story report that contains a table (cross-tab) with Show Totals enabled.
  2. Include at least one measure aggregated with NONE/SUM and one measure aggregated with MAX.
  3. Observe that row-level values display as expected.
  4. Observe that the totals row for the measure aggregated with MAX shows the maximum single value rather than a summed total.

Cause

This behaviour is working as designed and is expected based on the current aggregation setting.

Resolution

Since the measure is configured with MAX aggregation, the table displays the maximum value. To display the total for “Amount (Travel)”, the aggregation needs to be changed to SUM.
