Teased by Shortcut Joins

I guess, there is no way to do this with the data fromyour example.
The only thing you could do is something like creating an object in designer which
gives a “relative” numbering of the rows within each emplyee, e.g.:

Id Name rel Dollars
0000123 Cindy 1 100.00
0000456 David 1 200.00
0000456 David 2 225.00

Then you can use “rel” as the dimension across in the crosstab.

Hope this helps

I have data that I’d like to see in a crosstab. It’s laid out as follows

Employee_Id Name Dollars


0000123 Cindy 100.00

0000456 David 200.00
225.00

I would like to see the dollars in the crosstab so the data looks like this

Employee_Id Name Dollars Dollars



0000123 Cindy 100.00

0000456 David 200.00 225.00

There is no distinguishing characteristic that I can use as the basis for
the crosstab columns. I thought about
somehow using rowindex() to number the rows within each employee_id but I
can’t quite get it to work.

What’s wrong with contexts ???

Hi all,

Does anyone know if Business Objects have any plans to get shortcut joins
working properly in the near future. We do use them but there’s a limit to
how many frigs you can design in to ensure only 1 is ever needed.

It’s either that or… contexts! shudder
