Two characteristics for date but only same date wanted?

Question

Hello experts,
we have 2 date characteristics,
Calendar day
Due day
For one calendar day we could have several due dates. But in Reporting we just want to have always for the calendar day the same due day. We know how to resolv it in the data model but we prefer a reporting solution.
example:
Calendar day -  01/01/2009              | 01/02/2009
Due date - 01/01/2009 - 01/03/2009 | 01/02/2009 - 01/03/2009
Key figure - 100 - 1500 |  120 - 150
We just want to see the due date 01/01/2009. Both characteristics are drilled down.
Result example wanted:
Calendar day - 01/01/2009 | 01/03/2009
Due Date - 01/01/2009 | 01/03/2009
Key figure - 100 | 200
Thank you for help!
regards,
Peter

Hi,
You can do this by using replacement path variables and defining a formula which compares these two variables. Output of the formula will be 1 or 0 based on the comparision (Calday == due date).
After this you can define a condition using the formula you have created to compare those dates.
but i think all this can be achieved only if you have the due date in the drill down. however you can hide the due date by keeping it in rows, i think this will not have an effect in the result of the query.
let us know if this helps,
