This means that navigation and filtering will have no effect on the selection at runtime. In SAP HANA, there is no feature that directly supports this functionality We have to model it ourselves. One way to implement itis through “self joins” and “dynamic joins”. tepesbiogs.2ap.com/2016'2/Ticerstant-selection in-sap-hane-using-dypamicjin’ 6sanerots Constant Selection in SAP HANA Using Dynami Join | SAP Blogs One application of ‘onstant Selection” is when calculating the market share of a product of a company against the same product of other companies. The problem arises when there are additional attributes (e.g. Country) that a user can select that can affect the result Let's take this table as an example: COUNTRY COMPANY PRODUCT SALES uA Paper 100 us Envelopes 20 uA Pens » us 8 Paper 50 us 8 Envelopes 40 us 8 Pens rs uo Paper R uc Envelopes 24 wooo Pens » Canada A Paper 100 Canada A Envelopes 20 canada A Pens » Conada 8 Paper 50 Conda 8 Envelopes 40 Canada 8 Pens 38 As you can see from this table, companies A, B, and C have products in the US. And only companies A and B have products in Canada and not company C. If we want to calculate the “market share" of a product of a company, in BW we should make the “sales by company’ as the constant because we want to relate the sales of the product of the individual company to the total sales of the product of the whole group of companies. To implement this in SAP HANA, we need to create a calculation view and use the same table in two “aggregation” nodes. Create the first, aggregation node as below: tepesbiogs.2ap.com/2016'2/Ticerstant-selection in-sap-hane-using-dypamicjin’sarte2016 Constant Selection in SAP HANA Using Dynami Join | SAP Blogs In the second aggregation node, we will use the same table but will not expose “COMPANY” because we want to total sales by company. When adding the aggregated measure “SALES” from this node, rename it as, "TOTAL_SALES". Now create an inner join between these two aggregation nodes on “COUNTRY” and "PRODUCT". This effectively is a “self join” as we are joining a table to itself Lastly, to get the market share percentage, we need to create a “calculated column’ in the final aggregation node and name it "MARKET_SHARE" using the formula “SALES” / “TOTAL_SALES". tepesbiogs.2ap.com/2016'2/Ticerstant-selection in-sap-hane-using-dypamicjin’sarte2016 Constant Selection in SAP HANA Using Dynamic Join | SAP Blogs| names (we "Wate ein” coors mone aun = Now let's run the following query including all attributes “PRODUCT”, “COUNTRY”, and "COMPANY": tepesbiogs.2ap.com/2016'2/Ticerstant-selection in-sap-hane-using-dypamicjin’‘sano Corsa Selection in SAP HANA Using Dynamic Jin | SAP Blogs The total sales are of a particular product totaled for all companies in a country which is correct. But now, suppose we want to see the market, share of a company’s product in North America (both US and Canada). To do this, we remove “COUNTRY” from the query: But since Company C does not have products in Canada, the total sales for C is only for US. This is not what we want since we want the total sales to be across both US and Canada To solve this problem, we need to change the join between the two aggregation nodes to a “dynamic join’. tepesbiogs.2ap.com/2016'2/Ticerstant-selection in-sap-hane-using-dypamicjin’santero CCorstat Selection in SAP HANA Using Dynamic Jin | SAP Blogs Problem solved! The total sales is across both US and Canada for all companies. The dynamic join takes into consideration the attributes you use in your query. Since “COUNTRY’ is not part of the query, HANA. does not execute the join on “COUNTRY” which allows the total sales to remain “constant” across all companies.
