ADDEACH

Overview

The ADDEACH function adds a numeric value (or the values of another node) to each individual entry of a node before any aggregation is applied.

Use this function when you need to apply an entry-by-entry adjustment to every value of a node while preserving the node’s dimensionality.

Syntax

ADDEACH('Node', Amount)

ADDEACH('Node', 'AmountNode')

Example usage: ADDEACH('Growth Rate', 1)

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required
Node	The input node, referenced by name in single quotes (e.g. `'Profit'`)	Node reference	Yes
Amount / AmountNode	A numeric value or another node to add to each entry	Number or node reference	Yes

Output Shape

Aspect	Behavior
Dimensionality	Preserves the input shape
Values	Each value of the node is increased by the specified amount
Row count	Same number of rows as the input node

Watch Out

ADDEACH performs entry-by-entry addition before rollups (automatic aggregation up hierarchies, e.g. months summing to quarters).
The + operator adds values after rolling them up to a common level. For example:
- 'Node' + 5 first aggregates Node to a single total, then adds 5 once.
- ADDEACH('Node', 5) adds 5 to every individual row before any aggregation.
When using another node as the Amount, the operation matches values across shared dimensions only.

Examples

Convert a percentage to a factor

A growth rate of 5 % is stored as 0.05 in Valsight. To use it as a multiplication factor (1.05), add 1.

Formula: ADDEACH('Growth Rate', 1)

Year	Growth Rate	→ ADDEACH Result
2024	0.03	1.03
2025	0.05	1.05
2026	0.02	1.02

Reverse a factor back to a percentage

Formula: ADDEACH('Factor', -1)

Year	Factor	→ ADDEACH Result
2024	1.03	0.03
2025	1.05	0.05

Compute the complement (1 − x pattern)

Goal: Compute 1 minus each value (e.g. if a share is 0.70, the complement is 0.30).

Why not 1 - 'Split'? In Valsight, that expression first rolls up ‘Split’ into a single total, then subtracts.

Solution: Negate first with 'Split' * -1, then add 1 to each entry.

Formula: ADDEACH('Split' * -1, 1)

Product	VarCostSplit	→ ADDEACH Result
A	0.70	0.30
B	0.60	0.40

Variable costs are 70 % / 60 % of total cost The formula therefore yields the fixed-cost share (30 % / 40 %).

Flip 0/1 helper tables

To invert a binary helper table (1 → 0, 0 → 1), apply the same pattern.

Formula: ADDEACH('Original Values' * -1, 1)

Country	IS_EMEA	→ ADDEACH Result
DE	1	0
US	0	1

Useful when you need the logical opposite of an existing flag, e.g. turning an IS_EMEA flag into a NOT_EMEA flag.

Using a node as amount input

Instead of a fixed number, you can pass a second node. ADDEACH then adds the values element-wise, matching on shared dimensions. Where the Amount node has no matching value, the original Node value is kept unchanged. Rows that exist only in the Amount node are not included in the result.

Node

Year	Value
2025	10
2026	100
2028	50

AmountNode

Year	Value
2024	100
2025	150
2026	200
2027	250

Formula: ADDEACH('Node', 'AmountNode')

Year	→ ADDEACH Result
2025	160
2026	300
2028	50

Year 2024 and 2027 are absent because they only exist in AmountNode. Year 2028 has no match in AmountNode, so the original Node value (50) is preserved.

The overlapping years are summed entry by entry:

10 + 150 = 160

100 + 200 = 300.

Function	When to use instead
ADDITION (+)	When you want to add two nodes after rollup.
MULTIPLICATION (*) / MULTIPLY	When you need element-wise multiplication instead of addition.
ROLLUP	When you want to aggregate values after element-wise operations.
EXPAND	When you need to add dimensional detail before applying ADDEACH.
