My query is picking X , Y, Z objects from a universe, Now I bring in a spreadsheet in to this sothat I can get " A " which is not in the universe.

So my spreadsheet has X, A from different source. After bringing in the spreadsheet I linked X from the universe with X from the spread sheet as they both are same.

Can I now get the report with X,Y,Z,A ?

I am unable to get this, as soon as I select X from spreadsheet Y,Z are greyed out.

When I select X from universe A gets greyed out.

Am I missing anything when I linked X ?

Try searching for linking data providers or incompatable variables… :slight_smile:
