Report writing with Department and Accounts in rows

Former Member

My client, BPC 10 MS, has a reporting need both Departments and Accounts being in the rows.  For example, in the photo below the first two rows are departments, the third is a group of accounts and the fourth is a department.  And then a subtotal is needed.

I am thinking a heirarchy will help but this is accross dimensions.  Then I thought maybe copy the data to a different grouping of accounts to facilitate.

Any ideas or suggestions.

Hi Sean,

If row axis is static in your report then

1) Simply use local excel description and hide row axis.

2) Only for display, override the description of members.

Shrikant,

Thank you for the response.  My question is how do I get the dimensions: Department and the Account to be in the same column?

I will use a local member to sum the data.

Thanks

Hi Sean,

You can not add two dimensions in single column.

If your report is static,  As I mentioned before , crate report by shifting row axis , and hide the row axis , Give the description as per your requirement.

The report will not be static.  Here is what I did for one section of the report. And may have to do it for others as well.  Their are additional requirements that will make this a challenging one as well.

I made two reports: One with projects in the row axis and one without.  I then used the formula in the function bar (as a local member) to summarize the data.

What do you think?

An additional requirement is that in one section I will need to have NET_SALES projects as ALL and the license revenue expanded.  Can this be done in one report?

Hi, Sean,

Requirement is not clear to me.

What is your expected output? Provide some more details.

Hi Sean,

I don't quite get your point... your row heads are like this

HEAD

department

department

accounts

department

TOTAL

showing members of different dimensions, isn't it? Are those rows entered manually, or how did you get them into the same column?
