Show rows with empty values

Question

Hello,
We are creating a cross tab report, with products as the columns, and relationship managers with direct and shared revenue displayed across the rows.
For Eg
Relationship Manager    Coverage         Product1   Product2   Product3   Product4
Bob                                Direct                 100,           0,               35,            50
                                      Shared                0,              0,               15,            0
Alex                               Direct                  15,            25,             40,            10
                                      Shared                5,              0,               5,               0
George                          Direct                  0,               0,              0,               30
                                      Shared                0,               0,              0,               5
The problem lies when either one of the products has no values, or one of the relationship managers has no direct or shared revenues. If one of the products has no revenues, it disappears, and also when one of the RMs has no direct or shared revenues, the Direct or Shared row disappears.
I have tried to create a second query just included the Coverage variable, and using this variable in Query 2 with the RM variable from query 1, along with checking the "Show Rows with Empty Measure values", "Show Rows with Empty Dimension Values" and "Show when empty", but it still does not appear to work.
It only shows rows with values in them, and shows the rows with empty values at the end with no RM.
I have not tried to solve for empty columns yet.
Help with this would be much appreciated!!!!!!!!
Thank you

Hi ,
I think you can resolve this issue following ways ,
you need create another query  ( Ex :Qauery2 ) add Product object and RM (Direct,shared) object only without  conation. So now query2 result wil have all product and RM(Direct,shared).
Merge the Product object and RM  between query1 and query2
Now create table using Product and RM from query2 and measure value from query1.  Now you will get row even there is no data.
If you want try this sample report using efasion unvierse.
1) Add year ,state and Discount objects  and apply condition Year Not in list "2004"  and state Not in list "California "
2) run this query and create the cross tab table . Now you will not get 2004 column  and California row in table.
3) Create query2 add Year and State only without any condition , run the query. Now query 2 will display all state and year .
4) Merge the column Year and State between query1 and query2
4) Create the cross table ussing Year and state from query2 and Discount from Query1
Now cross table will show 2004 and California ,even there is not in query 1.
I hope this will help you.
