Deski Report

Hi Experts,

Could you please let me know how can I populate some objects in the report?

I am having below error massage.

“Variable is not compatible with the other variables in the block.”

I have four queries and two Universes. I have linked the common objects as well but still I can’t add those objects in the report.

Please help!
Thank you.

Hi Rob.

The simple answer is “it depends”.

You can relate things as long as they should be related.

For example, if you sell cars and motorcycles, you wouldn’t report on Number of Doors against motorcycle sales.
Similarly you could have monthly budget data from one universe and sales data from another and as long as there is an equality of objects to merge you will be fine.

What’s your scenario?

Thank you Mark for the reply,

I want to populate addresses in to the report. I have found the addresss in both the universe and linked it as well. But still I am having the error.

Thank you for your time.

Which variable are you having problems with? If there is only one dimension on one side that is a problem and it has a one-to-one relationship, you could create a Detail variable as, for example,
=[Dimension Name]

Then use this detail instead of the dimension.
If it gives a #MULTIVALUE error then it isn’t a one-to-one relationship.

Thank you ever so much Mark,

I will try this.

Regards.
