I’d like to call this a bug, but I wanted to be sure that this is not “Expected” behavior for Indicators with period offset. It looks like when I have periods set as Rows, the offset works correctly. When (most times) I shift the indicators to Columns in a Pivot Table, however, the indicator offset seems to not respect the offset. Quick video describing this below.
What I’m curious about is if the Indicator offset is actually non-specific to Periods, and if it will pull the “previous” value from whatever is in a particular format, or if it is always relevant to time and should respect whatever previous time is selected regardless of the pivot formats.
In the video: On the left, the numbers are the same (original Data Element, and Indicator with Data Element + Data Element offset by 1 + Data Element offset by 2 all divided by 3. When I shift the Periods, the calculation is “respected” and the climate data gets smoothed out as we’d expect/hope.
