Example 6: Not Reducing Values at All - Value Change Distributed
Suppose that:
- The value of the MASS_EDIT_BY_VALUE_REDUCTION_MODE registry parameter is NO_CHANGE. This means that any value that would be reduced to a negative number because of a mass-edit by value is not reduced at all, and it retains its initial value.
- The option is selected on the Mass-Edit Criteria pop-up window.
Suppose that you want to apply a decrease of $300,000 to an editable column on the Worksheet to the CORPORATE location, and you want to distribute this change to all jewelry departments. Based on the filter criteria, there are 5 departments, with the following values in each department:
| Location | Initial Value |
|---|---|
| Jewelry department 1 | $50,000 |
| Jewelry department 2 | $75,000 |
| Jewelry department 3 | $30,000 |
| Jewelry department 4 | $45,000 |
| Jewelry department 5 | $50,000 |
| Total of these jewelry departments | $250,000 |
The value to distribute ($300,000) is greater than the initial total value for all departments ($250,000). Therefore, the mass-edit is not applied, and all departments retain their initial values.
