Hello,
Currently we have a client who has maintained two different hierarchies that need to be represented in the same column.
Here is an example (could be for a dimension with a hiearchy or without, the question is really about merging dimensions in SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise)
Example 1: Merging Hierarchies into one dimension
Column 1 Measure 1
Hierarchy 1 Top Node $100
- Level 1 $50
----- Level 2 $25
------------ Level 3 $25
Hierarchy 2 Top Node $200
- Level 1 $175
-----Level 2 $25
I do not think this is possible to merge dimensions for Crystal Reports for Enterprise, the simple example of this would be the following:
Example 2: Merging Dimensions into one dimension
Column 1 Measure 1
Customer 1 $100
Customer 2 $120
Customer 3 $200
Vendor 1 $150
Vendor 2 $200
Vendor 3 $400
The kicker here is we have the hierarchies in two BEx queries, I am aware that SAP Note 1686456 indicates that it is not possible to have multiple bex queries in SAP CR4E.
Please let me know the following:
1. Is it possible to merge dimensions in SAP Crystal Reports for Enteprise
2. If yes to question 1, can this be applied to hiearchies
3. If yes to question 2, can values of a subreport be merged with the values of a main report in the same column, because this is the only way I can see the two separate queries being leverged in SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
Thanks,
Jon
