Showing navigation attributes in the same column of a query

Question

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to define a query such that TWO navigation attributes that reference the same underlying characteristic can be displayed in the SAME column rather than TWO separate columns.
I will describe an example scenario to clarify the requirement.  We are using a BI Content InfoCube (0COOM_C02) that has the navigation attributes 0COSTCENTER__0PROFIT_CTR and 0WBS_ELEMT__PROFIT_CTR activated.  Both of these attributes reference the characteristic 0PROFIT_CTR.  The InfoCube contains transaction data for Cost Centres and WBS Elements. 
The requirement is to define a query that summarizes the data by profit centre.  At the moment, in order to combine Cost Centre and WBS (Project) data in the same query by Profit Centre, both navigation attributes need to be selected, resulting in the following output:
0COSTCENTER__0PROFIT_CTR......0WBS_ELEMT__PROFIT_CTR......AMOUNT
PC01...............................................Not assigned...................................10,000
PC02...............................................Not assigned...................................20,000
PC03...............................................Not assigned...................................12,000
PC04...............................................Not assigned....................................2,000
Not Assigned....................................PC02..............................................5,000
Not Assigned....................................PC03..............................................8,000
Not Assigned....................................PC05..............................................30,000
Not Assigned....................................PC06..............................................50,000
However, the desired result is to display only one profit centre column using the two profit centre navigation attributes as shown below:
PROFIT CENTRE......AMOUNT
PC01..........................10,000
PC02..........................25,000
PC03..........................20,000
PC04............................2,000
PC05..........................30,000
PC06..........................50,000
Is there a way to achieve the above result using the two navigation attributes only, without having to add 0PROFIT_CTR as a characteristic to the InfoCube?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mustafa.

Hi Mustafa,
You have to use enhancement RSR00001 in the transaction CMOD to start developing your code.
For more information how the customer exit variables are processed, refer to the documentation:

A short example can be found here:

This should help.
