Calculate Variances in Nested Crosstabs

Variances become subtle when measures and dimensional members are nested in a crosstab.

Practical approach

Define explicitly which actual and comparison values should be used at each intersection and perform the calculation at the correct aggregation level.

Validation and limitations

Test grand totals separately from detail rows; percentage variances should generally be calculated from aggregated base values.
