(Optional) Basis, when combined with the range, defines the location of basis values that determine how the amount is allocated. The basis can consist of upper-level or level 0 members.
You can use these parameters to further define the basis:
(Optional) Basis time span specifies one or more time periods to be considered for the basis. Time periods must be level 0 members in a Time dimension.
(Required if basis time span is set) Basis time span option specifies how the basis is calculated across the time periods specified by the basis time span. You can choose to use the basis value for each time period individually (split) or use the sum of the basis values across the time periods specified by the basis time span (combine).
If basis time span specifies multiple time periods and the target time span specifies one time period or is empty, you must set the basis time span option to combine. Essbase ignores the target time span option.
If basis time span and target time span specifies multiple time periods, and you set the basis time span option to split, the periods specified by basis time span and target time span must be identical. Essbase ignores the target time span option.
Zero basis options specifies how to treat a zero basis value. You can choose to skip to the next nonzero or non-#MISSING amount value or cancel the entire allocation operation. Essbase processes the zero basis options setting based on the allocation method. See Setting the Allocation Method.
(Optional) Negative basis options specifies how to treat a negative basis value. The options available for the negative basis options depend on the allocation method used. See Setting the Allocation Method.
Note: | The basis is ignored when using the spread allocation method and you have not set any spread skip options. |
