Universe name not showing up in report

Greetings:

We’re using BO 4.1.5. On the standard reports stored in the repository we have a cell that lists the universe name the report comes from. We use the formula “UniverseName(DataProvider())”. For some reason the universe name often disappears. It will disappear then reappear at a later time. This is a very minor problem but I was wondering if anyone had seen this. We’ll be upgrading soon to BO 5, does this occur with BO 5 reports?

Thanks for your help,

Not only have I noticed this behavior (which I unfortunately don’t have an explanation for), but in addition, the universe name, when it does show up, is not always correct. If you create a report using one universe, and then use Data | View to change to a different universe, the original universe name still appears on the report. Not very helpful information, if you’re using different versions of a universe to test different techniques and want to know which report used which universe!

Anybody know why this happens? (We’re using v4.1.6.)
