I am creating a report and noticed when using the above formula it is the Absolute Cost and not Net Cost.  I have Service Name "Application Support - NAO) allocating from Business Services to Business Units.  The Model Report and the Modeled Object show $98,835 which is correct

  But when I enter a column with the above formula it returns 108924.877 (which is due to the credit numbers totalling (5,045)

How can I get the correct answer?  

Thank you,

Hi @Dawn Kassube. Try using a LookupObjectUnitAllocation formula with the following syntax:

=LookupObjectUnitAllocated(sourceObject,destObject,metric,
columnInLocalTable,columnInSourceObjectTable)

Hello @Dawn Kassube. I have used LookupObjectUnitValue(), with returns Cost, without any issues so far.

Hello Beth,

Can you please provide an actual example as I cannot figure out how to use this formula.  Service Name is not a column in my receiving table as there are multiple drivers allocating to QBE All Business Units and they are allocating to Business Units by Headcount or Percentage.

Thank you,
