Cognos Double Counting -


i have following table:

billing account number  credit alert number account balance full date 00005884                1-400wha            13111.80        2013-08-12 00005884                1-4wtv4e            13111.80        2013-08-12 00005884                1-4tg3wj            13111.80        2013-08-12 00005884                1-43gbo9            13111.80        2013-08-12 00005884                1-5x817t            13111.80        2013-08-12 00005884                1-4afo7s            13111.80        2013-08-12 00005884                1-50pjwy            13111.80        2013-08-12 00017988                null                105.86          2013-08-12 00018713                null                118.00          2013-08-12 00020032                null                7316.06         2013-08-12 

as can see have repeating billing account number account balance. when in cognos bring in billing account number , account balance automatically sums account balance wrong. how setup determinants prevent double counting?

if set regular aggregate rule average account balance measure it'll work reports still breaks on others have columns selected etc.

determiantns
determinants set on framework manager.
don't know how model looks like, practice put determinants definitions on database layer (physical tables mapping , relation).
can find great example in great_outdoors_warehouse sample model. (located in c10_directory\webcontent\samples\models\great_outdoors_warehouse).
make sure have installed cognos samples installed framework manager.
in model, under database view->go data->go_time_dime, right click on , choose edit definition. in determinants tab, see:
enter image description here so, guess should put billing account number key, , account balance attribute , mark group by.
bare in mind, order of determinants matter.
so, must put defintion (account number) before uniquely identified deteminant (if such exist).
great cognos documentation regarding determinants can found here:
framework manager user guide - determiantns

alternative solution
second option be, change usage type fact attribue: enter image description here afaik, default not sum in list report.
saftey, can change aggregate rule unsupported.
