count distinct records

Question: Hi,

Could anyone help me with calculating a key figure that counts a number of distinct records. Must it be done on the info source/info provider level by means of some formulars in transfer, update rules or abap routines or in a bex report? i haven't found any suitable formula either in bw nor in bex

Advance thanks for any help!

Answer:
I'd say add a counter InfoObject to your InfoCube and write some kind of logic to update it according to your "distinctness" in the update rules.

Answer:
Exceptional aggregation.
Look for a paper called "How to count the occurrences of a characteristic relative to one or more other characteristics".
