Create Aggregated Calculated Columns

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create aggregated calculated columns in SAP SuccessFactors Canvas Reports.

Aggregated Calculated Column Wizard

Aggregated calculated columns can be used to aggregate or combine data into a single result or list. In this example, we will sum all Compensation records to get a Total Compensation result for each employee:

Choose a column or set a formula for aggregation. Choose the aggregate function: mathematical functions for number columns, concatenate for text columns. Apply any column filtering or date filtering on the aggregated results.

Value for Aggregation

In this example, we will aggregate all Compensation values, so we will set the column Amount from the Compensation object:

Amount is chosen as the compensation object.

With Amount chosen as the column for aggregation, we now choose how to aggregate. Since we would like the total compensation per employee, we will choose Sum:

Sum is chosen as the Aggregated Function.

Aggregation Function

There are now two calculations in the query. Toggle the display of these columns in the query by choosing the red/green buttons:

To show or hide the column, choose the green or red buttons.
