MP-Web Calculation Order

Using Calculation Ordering in MP-Web

Introduction

Calculation Order is essential in situations where the Calculation workflow has more than one step. For example, a meter reading is imported, which feeds into a meter reading difference calculation before the result feeds into a Monthly and then Annual volume Aggregate. It's important for the automatic calculation of all of the data that the calculations are set in order, ensuring the data is available for the next logical step of the workflow. 

The Calculation Order will be based on the order in which the Calculation is set up. Therefore, if the Calculations are set up in the logical order, they will work as expected; however, if not, the Calculation Order will need to be amended manually. 

The order of unassociated calculations is unimportant. Other than users may want important calculations to be higher up the list to ensure they are given priority processing. When the calculator runs (around every 30 minutes), this is the order in which MonitorPro will check to see what new data needs to be processed. 

To change the order, simply drag the Calculations up or down.
