Re: Dynamic visibility on a report

Hello Ash,

First of all your requirement cannot be achieved straight away with the existing WebI functionality and secondly don't use If..Else Condition for calculating the Measure.

So, you have a Radio Button on [Select a Measure] object which has values Sales revenue and Extended price

Now in the Webi report create 4 Measure variables as mentioned below.

VAR 1 =[Sales revenue] WHERE (ReportFilter([Select a Measure]) = "[Sales revenue]")

VAR 2 =[Quantity] WHERE (ReportFilter([Select a Measure]) = "[Sales revenue]")

VAR 3 =[Extended price] WHERE (ReportFilter([Select a Measure]) = "[Extended price]")

VAR 4 =[Margin] WHERE (ReportFilter([Select a Measure]) = "[Extended price]")

Now create 2 tables in your report with your

Table 1 : Dim objects, VAR1 and VAR2

Table 2 : Dim objects, VAR3 and VAR4

Now create a Flag variable with If..Else Condition.

Flag =If ReportFilter([Select a Measure]) = "[Sales revenue]" Then "Y" ElseIf ReportFilter([Select a Measure]) = "[Extended price]" Then "N"

Select the Table 1 and set the Report Filter Flag =Y

Select the Table 2 and set the Report Filter Flag =N

Place Table 1 exactly on top of Table 2.

So, now when the user selects Sales revenue it will display Table 1 with Dim objects, Sales Revenue and Quantity and when the user selects Extended Price it will display Table 2 with Dim objects, Extended Price and Margin.

User will get what he wants but will be completely unaware of whats happening in the backend

Hope you understood the trick
