The ANY aggregation function returns a TRUE result for any value that matches specific Boolean criteria in a source module.
For example, you can use the ANY aggregation function to identify any employees in an organization with a car allowance.
Source[ANY: Mapping, ANY: Mapping 2, etc.]
Arguments
Argument | Data type | Description |
Source | Boolean | The line item to search for any values that match criteria in theMappingargument. |
Mapping | List | The line item to use as search criteria. If you want to provide multiple criteria, you can repeat this argument. |
The ANY aggregation function returns a Boolean result.
Constraints
- The list that is used to format the mapping line item in the source module must be a dimension of the target line item that uses the ANY aggregation function.
- The dimensions of the mapping line item must also appear in the source line item.
- You can reference theUserslist with the ANY function. However, you cannot reference specific users in theUserslist as this isproduction data, which can change and make your formula invalid.
