Hi fellow Webi and OLAP bods
Does anyone know how I can merge data from 2 different queries where the data is not an exact match?
I have one query where the key is
001
002
003
004
etc
and another where the key is
AAA001
AAA002
AAA003
BBB004
etc
basically they are the same thing but the second has this prefix in the data that I am not interested in.
If it were on oracle or some other relationanl data source I could clearly create a new object in the universe that used substr(mykey,4,3) and they'd match fine but both queries are on SAP BW datasources and I wanted to know if I can do this anyway without having to wait for our BW team to create me a new object in BW. I'm guessing my only options are with some neat MDX in the universe (I'm on xi 3.1) or with some clever stuff in the report......
Maybe I'll just do it in excel with vlookup......(again!)
Thanks
Nick
