How to Change the Object property at the Report level.

I have created the report using one of the objects as Dimension. For the same object, I changed at the universe level as “Measure object” with aggregate as sum.
But even then the object is reflecting as “Dimension” in my report.
I want the same to be Measure.

  1. I refreshed the Query at the Report level.
  2. EDIT Query and refreshed it. But no help

But after making changes at Universe level did u refresh the universe structure?

Did you export the same universe in your repository?

Refresh the universe list at report level …

make sure you can see Measure object in your query panel.

Yes. I did

Yes. I exported the Universe to repository.

Can you please tell me, at which place i have to refresh the objects in webI report.

Try by repointing to the same universe by selecting universe from the list in properties tab of query. Once you select the same universe it will prompt you for your action. I Hope this helps :!:

Please, see also my post here about measures and the proper way to set them up: diff between Select SUM (Table. Field) & Select Table. F
