Different view in OBIEE answers

Question

Hi,
I am new to OBIEE.Plz help.
In answers i go to criteria and select few columns For Ex:Department,Region and sales and then click on results tab to see the result.
now similarly i create pivot view and give the compound layout to see both views.
Now in the same compound layout i want another table alongside my previous table and pivot view.
but i want different columns for that table.For ex: i want Department,City and Cost columns in my table and i want all the three to be shown in the same compound layout.
Is that possible?
I have been trying to do that but whenever i change the columns in criteria for one table,the previous table columns alo get changed.
Can someone plz help me out with this?

Hi what i said is
create a table view with columns for both the reports.
in your compound layout duplicate the table view and create the second table view.
now in your first table hide the second table columns and in your second table hide the first table columns.
(you can also use pivot view as second table).
but the results will not be exact. you need to do lots of manipulations to achieve the expected results. And it also depends on your requirements. if your requirement is complex then forget this and go for the dashboard page with individual request from two reports.
