How to create feilds in Webi reports with where condition

Question

I need to create a feild display name by keeping the constraint condition
o     Display value – dbo.Personnel.Fullname   METRICPERSONNEL
o     Joining tables – dbo.MetricRequestTeam.MetricRequestKey, dbo.MetricRequest.MetricRequestKey
o     Constraint – dbo.MetricRequestTeam.MetricRoleTypeKey = ‘2’
How we can do this in webi level.
Thanks

Hi Sasi,
I am taking assumption that you have already merged both the table at report level on common column.
So for Analyst column in report you want to display :
IF  dbo.MetricRequestTeam.MetricRoleTypeKey = ‘2’ THEN "Lead"
Else IF dbo.MetricRequestTeam.MetricRoleTypeKey = ‘4’  THEN "Analyst"
Am i Right??
For this just create a variable  ( I think here it will be a Dimension) with following formula:
=If([Column_Name] =2) then "Lead"
Else (IF([Column_Name] =4 then "Analyst" else "None")))
Drag this variable to analyst column it will give you desired values.
Points to remember:
If the data type of column "dbo.MetricRequestTeam.MetricRoleTypeKey" is string then put "2" or "4" in formula else it will give you #syntax error.
Alternatively you can also give following formula:
=If([Column_Name] InList ("2") ; "Lead";
(IF([Column_Name] InList("4") ; "Analyst" ; "None")))
Hope it helps!
