Can you DUPLICATE a query

BO 6.5 SP4.

I know I can duplicate a report - but is there any way I can duplicate a query in the same report? I have need for two reports that are almost identical except for 1 condition.

Id like to have reports in the same report - meaning - 2 tabs - as opposed to two separate reports.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Yes, you can do it…, Go to Data Menu --> Click New Data Provider -->choose the 3rd option “Using an existing query to build a new one”

—After that, change your condition…in the second query.

—Filter the tabs accordingly to display the data correctly.

BO_Chief’s guidance is correct, but only works in v6. For v5, consider this utility as an alternative.
