Please advice.

Wih a workaround as below you can tailor to suite your needs ;however there are some limitations you may want to look below-
You can also combine the advantages of the VC and BEx Web runtime. For example, you can develop a VC model that renders the data in Adobe Flex and within this model you can define links to BEx Web Applications that calls the underlying query in order to analyze the data in more detail. There the data will be displayed in DHTML and you can use the BEx features to drill-down in a pivot table, for example
General Aspects - VC
In the area of Analytics you can use different tools to model reporting scenarios and analytical applications.
Deciding which tool best meets your requirements depends on several factors - features, UI technology, User
types, interaction, OLAP and/or OLTP data needed, for example. The UI tool decision tree (see Figure 3) will
support you in your choice and will help you determine which tool meets your requirements in the best way. Your
decision also depends on which criteria (e.g. features) are most important for you.
First you should think about whether you need to use the functionalities of the BI analytical engine (drill-down
navigation in reports, slice and dice analysis, and external presentation hierarchy, for example). If you don’t
need those functionalities, then you should use Visual Composer, especially if you want to use query services
(Web Services and/or BAPI‘s) and/or if you want to embed OLAP data into operational processes. Also, use the
Visual Composer if your analytic application to be rendered with Adobe Flex. Adobe Flex is a presentation-tier
framework and server that enables the development of Rich Internet Applications. With the Adobe Flex UI you
can use interactive UI elements, for example. If you want to use just OLTP data in your reporting scenario, you
also have to use Visual Composer.
If you want to report based only on OLAP data (stored in Info Providers in a SAP BI system), you should use the
BI Suite tools. If the end users should access their reports using MS Excel, you must use the BEx Analyzer.
Beforehand you have to define a query using the Query Designer that then can be easily embedded into a BEx
Analyzer workbook. You can also do basic formatting with standard MS Excel functionality as well as integrating
BI Integrated planning functionality.
If you want to use formatted reporting and if you want to display the reports in a Web Browser, you should use
the Report Designer. With the Report Designer you are able to create formatted reports that are optimized for
presentation and printing. You can also access a number of formatting and layout functions.
If you need to deliver standardized reports, you should use the Pattern Wizard (integrated into the Web
Application Designer) to create pattern-based Web Templates. You can create Information Consumer Patterns
to ensure a standardized UI for the end users who access the Web Templates via the Enterprise Portal. If you
need special UI elements (for example, Tab Strips) or if you want to build planning applications, you have to use
the freestyle Web Application Designer capabilities.
