Returns the smallest value among a fixed number of consecutive periods surrounding the current period.
The template presents a measure of the analytic view, an attribute dimension the analytic view is dimensioned by, a hierarchy that uses the attribute dimension, numbers that specify the number of members before and after the current member, and a level. To select a different value, click the underlined value in the template and make a selection from the Select Measures dialog box or the drop-down list or enter a different number value.
Template
Moving minimum for measure name measure for the attribute dimension alias attribute dimension and the hierarchy name hierarchy. Include number preceding and number following members within { level | parent | ancestor at level level name }.
Example: Example of Moving Minimum
The units_mov_min calculated measure returns the minimum number of units within the range of time periods that include: the current time period, the previous period, if any, and the next time period, if any.
Calculation in Template
Moving minimum for the UNITS measure for the TIME_ATTR_DIM dimension and TIME_HIER hierarchy. Include 1 preceding and 1 following members within ancestor at level YEAR.
Definition of Calculated Measure in Analytic View
The MEASURES clause of the SALES_AV analytic view definition includes this definition of the units_mov_min calculated measure:
units_mov_min AS
MIN (UNITS)
OVER (HIERARCHY TIME_ATTR_DIM.TIME_HIER
BETWEEN 1 PRECEDING AND 1 FOLLOWING
WITHIN ANCESTOR AT LEVEL YEAR)
SELECT Statement Using the Calculated Measure
SELECT time_hier.member_name as TIME,
units,
units_mov_min
FROM
sales_av HIERARCHIES(time_hier)
WHERE time_hier.level_name IN ('QUARTER')
ORDER BY time_hier.hier_order;
