Error: Group Function Is Not Allowed Here

Question

Hi,
Created a measure in the Universe, which is based on a BO built-in function "PERCENTILE".
When this measure is in the WebI report, this field is also added to the GROUP BY caluse of the select statement, which will give the above error.
Is measure defined wrong? How to eliminate a field from the GROUP BY clause. We are using Oracle database and BOXI Rel 2.
Thanks.

Lucy,
begin
select max(sim_trip.finish_time) into finish_time,
      max(sim_trip.start_time) into start_time  from sim_trip
WHERE ((sim_trip.operator_counter = :P500_operator_counter));
if (:P500_start_time > finish_time)
   then   return true;
else
return false;
end if;
end;Your select statement is wrong. It should be:
begin
select max(sim_trip.finish_time),max(sim_trip.start_time)
  into :P500_start_time,:P500_finsh_time 
  from sim_trip
  WHERE ((sim_trip.operator_counter = :P500_operator_counter));
if (:P500_start_time > :P500_finish_time)
   then   return true;
else
return false;
end if;
end;Robert
