Linking two queries

I am having trouble linking two queries in my data table. The first query finds the maximum of a certain set of information, has the breakorder set at asending and orders them by a set of numbers in that query. A coordinate (ie. x and y) field is based off this maximum. In the other query, another maximum and coordinate are found and should be ordered by the same thing as in the first query (set of number in asending order). Instead of this happening, it prints all the numbers (not just the max) and the cooresponding coordinates for that number. I think that it has something to do with the queries not being linked properly. I would like to figure out what and where to link these queries (the whole report is based off a common id number).
Thanks!

If you're getting everything (as opposed to just the maximum) then I would suspect that it's your where clauses, or groupings, that are at fault (select max(x), y from <table> group by y should only return one row per y).
However, it's pretty hard to determine what's going on with your descriptions - could you provide a couple of simplified queries and describe how they're linked, and it might be easier for everyone to figure out what's going on.
Thanks,
Danny

Linking two Queries but the values are corrupted

I have started linking two queries from the same Cube. The invoiced value from the pre-query shows the correct value from SAP. When I use this prequery into another query and look at the same invoiced value key figure, the result has changed and is not correct anymore. Please advise what I am doing wrong.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Ray

Hi Bhanu, the replacement path is on the Dimension Sales Document. I have tried to use the same variable on the Key Figure Net Value (Invoice). I also tried for a later attempt to use a different Key Figure in the prequery as net weight, just in case they added together.
Am I right that I should be using the same key figure Net Value (Invoice) in both queries?
Thanks

Linking two queries in Data Template

All,
Hoping to get a little help here. I have a basic data template and inside of it there are 2 queries. I would like to use a field from Query 1 and use it in Query 2. I have used the Bind Variable and Data Links (both work but I am getting what looks like a cartizian product). Query 1 is not a Parent-child relationship to Query 2, I simply just want to use the value of the field from Query 1 in Query 2.
Example:
Query 1 returns:
5 rows of 'A'
10 rows of 'B'
Query 2:
Using 'A' it returns 2 values
Using 'B' it returns 5 values
I want to use the value 'A' and 'B' from Query 1 in Query 2.
Everytime I use a data link or bind variable it would return 10 rows for 'A' and 50 rows for 'B' in Query 2.
I am not sure if there is a way to fix the queries themselves or if it would be something in the grouping logic that would handle this. When using the Bind Variables I noticed the second query(Q2) has to be inside 'G_SEQ' in order to return any data. I would prefer not to post the
queries due to sensitive data restrictions.
Here is the data structure I am currently using.
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_SEQ" source="Q1">
<element name="MATERIAL_TYPE" value="MATERIAL_TYPE"/>
<element name="GROUP_TYPE" value="GROUP_TYPE"/>

Thanks,

Steven thanks again for your response.
You are correct that it will give me the correct data, though, the issue still lies in connecting the data. For example in my original question:
Example:
Query 1 returns:
5 rows of 'A'
10 rows of 'B'
Query 2:
Using 'A' it returns 2 values
Using 'B' it returns 5 values
I want to be able to display the results like this:
Results for Query 1(A)
Results from Query 2(A)
Results from Query 1(B)
Results from Query 2(B)
or in terms of the data above
5 rows of 'A'
Using 'A' return the 2 values(or rows)
10 rows of 'B'
Using 'B' return the 5 values(or rows)
I believe in the case you pointed out it would do the following because the first query returned 'A' and 'B':
Results for Query 1(A)
Results from Query 2(A)
Results from Query 2(B)
Results from Query 1(B)
Results from Query 2(A)
Results from Query 2(B)
or in terms of the data above
5 rows of 'A'
Using 'A' return the 2 values(or rows)
Using 'B' return the 5 values(or rows)
10 rows of 'B'
Using 'A' return the 2 values(or rows)
Using 'B' return the 5 values(or rows)
Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated!

OBIEE: Link Two Separate Queries Together

Hi,
I am trying to link two separate queries together in BIEE.
I have a query that will give me the sales value in January 2012 (monthly query)
But I would need to use the sales value of January 2012 to help derive the weekly sales value in another query (weekly query).
How would you link up two queries together?
I tried using union but it doesnt seem to be working.
Thanks.
Bill

Hi Billy,
Sure, My pleasure. Here are the basic steps what you could go through.
1. Create an analysis with your Month (January) and Sales.
2. Save this analysis as Report1.
3. Create another analysis with Week and Sales.
4. Create a filter on column:Sales using the option 'Based on Another Analysis'. The analysis editor will provide you an option to browse your other analysis which you want this analysis to be based on and just click on this browse button, and navigate to and select Report1.
5. Once you have selected Report 1 through browse option, you get down in the same pop-up the relationship and use values in column.
So sample entries in this pop-up might look like
Column : Sales
Operator : is based on results of another analysis
Saved Analysis : /My Folder/Report1
Relationship : is equal than
Use values in Column : Sales
6. If you run this analysis, you could get all weekly sales figures which are equal to the january sales figures.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Here is what I am trying to do.
Query 1: Gets G/L Credit Amounts for Jan 2007 Feb 2007 March 2007.....Dec 2007
Query 2: Gets G/L Debit Amounts for Jan 2007 Feb 2007 march 2007.....Dec 2007
I need to put both these Queries in a worksheet one below the other and add the totals by each month.....so the final report looks something like this:
I am using two structures to hold the query values.
G/L Credit Amount        Jan 2007    Feb 2007.............Dec 2007
                                    +100         +200                   +400

Also, I would like to allow the users to enter Year as a variable. Any suggestions?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Venkata,
Thanks for your reply. Could you explain how I insert two query results into one worksheet? And, also how do I link the two structures ( one structure per query) so I can total the amounts by each month?
Thank you in advance.

Linking two hierarchies

Can we link two hierarchies created in BW? 
The scenario is: I have two separate hierarchies (i.e. H1 and H2). Both are in use by many queries. As per the specific requirement from my business user, I have to link H2 with H1 means there is specific requirement in which H1 needs to have same hierarchy nodes as H2. But my user doesnt want to maintain H2 at two separate locations. That is why we are looking if there is any solution using which we can link these two hierarchies.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Kuldeep Joshi

I appreciate your suggestion,
But in my scenario, both hierarchies are not time-dependents and both are unbalanced. To implement your suggestion, I have to convert my hierarchies into time-dependent.
I wont mind to try this approach, but it would be great help to me if you could elaborate your suggestion fully.
Thanks,
Kuldeep Joshi

Aligning subtotals from two queries.........

I have two queries in a report that are identical except for one entry in the where clause. The two queries each have four groups and are linked by a column in the first group. Both queries return the same columns and a count value. My report displays the totals of each count by group. Each query brings back the expected results however the totals per group do not line up. How do I ensure that the total for each group in both queries line up together?
Thanks in advance
William

Did you check both are same data type and doesn't have trailer spaces for either values?

Hi,
this cant be achived in Bex reporting ...
the only possible way is to do in WAD reporting
WAD is a platform where you can fetch the reports from more than one Bex query.
when designing the WAD report use diffrent tables with diffrent infoprovider
for example
you have report 1 , report 2 and report 3
when you drag single table and link all the three reports the Out put will be Report1 report2 Report3( with the same infoprovider)
when you Drag three diffrent tables for Report 1 , Report 2 and Report3 with three diffrent infoprovider the out put will be
Report1
Report2
Report 3 so the all the three reports will be placed one below the other
holpe this helps
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi.

Linking two ODS objects using a multiprovider

Hello Gurus,
I need to link two ODS objects and both are having 3 common characteristics and the relationship between the two objects are one to many.
My questions would be....
1)When the relationship is one to many can I set it up in the multiprovider to sum it up and show in the report?
2)I have 5 other charaterstics that I need to report(Slice and dice) on, but these are not common ones to both ODS objects. Is it possible for the user to get the report based on these charaterstics also? Or do I need to make sure that these 5 also exist in both DOS objects?
Thank you,
DM

Hi Sh,
Thank you very much for your reply. But I have few concerns.
1)One to many relationship will not have any effect on the data linking since the multiprovider clubs the key figures on common characteristics. I tried this on the system and it worked.
2)The problem would be not having similar characteristics on both infoproviders. So if I want to report on the chars individually it will have a problem( Will come as non assigned values)
But the documentation says the multiprovider supports Homogenous and Heterogeneous cases. Please refer the following link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/52/1ddc37a3f57a07e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
I am not sure what I can do now....whether to get all the characteristics in both infoproviders by enhancing the them. Or is there another way?
And lastly the scenario I am looking at is billing and cost of goods. So I might find records in cost of goods which may not have corresponding records in billing.(There can be goods in stock which need to be billed)The problem would be the way multiprovider link records(union) so it will have all the records from both sides even if they do not correspond to each other.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
DM
