How to call 'Add Calculated Value' option?

Hello, Ravi,

Thank you for writing to us.

We can add a new API call capable of opening this pop-up window at custom. It can be added on July the 1st. Would this work for you?

Please keep in mind, that by default, a Field List is opened as soon as a pop-up window for calculated values is closed. This allows confirming the current slice with the new values added. Does this behavior suit your needs or would you rather prefer a new value to be added to the grid automatically?

Waiting for your feedback.

Regards,
Tanya

Hello, Ravi,
 
We are glad to inform you that a new openCalculatedValueEditor() API call was added. It allows opening calculated value pop-up window editor.

Please let us know if everything works fine for you.

Hello, Ravi,
 
 
We would like to provide some information about how the openCalculatedValueEditor API call is used.
 
 
Below are more details about this new API call.

openCalculatedValueEditor(uniqueName:String, callbackHandler:Function|String)
 
Both parameters are optional, calling openCalculatedValueEditor() will open an empty editor.
 
Parameters description:
- uniqueName – String. The unique name of calculated value (for editing/deleting).
- callbackHandler - Function|String. A function that is called after an action (clicking Apply/Delete button). 

The callbackHandler takes the response object with the following properties:
   -- uniqueName – String. The unique name of the calculated value.
   -- isRemoved - Boolean. Specifies whether the calculated value was removed (true) or not (false).
 
For example, if you would like for the newly created calculated value to be added to the grid, simply specify the callback handler:

pivot.openCalculatedValueEditor('', function(response){

   // 1. Get the current slice
   let slice = pivot.getReport().slice;

   // 2. Find and activate the newly created calculated value
   (slice.measures).find(measure=>measure.uniqueName==response.uniqueName).active = true;

   // 3. Run query with the modified slice for the changes to take place
   pivot.runQuery(slice);

});
