If I have 3 contexts in my universe, and if I'm selecting measure objects from tables A, B and C and if A, B and C are in separate contexts, then is it safe to say that 'BusinessObjects will generate one SQL query per context'? In general, can you please tell me if the statement 'One SQL per used context' is correct? Thanks, Chandru Hi Dave,

You can't tell how much you spent until you get home, meaning you have to do this calculation on the report itself rather than in the universe. 8-) There's no way to combine calculations across contexts because the specific point of contexts is to split things up. Once you have all of the data (from both trips) then and only then can you create the calculations because everything is in one place. Hi, AP, there’s a simple answer.

The trip home analogy is perfect. I have a question about contexts and their limitations, and i think i can keep your analogy going. What if i needed to go home, grabbing both milk and a magazine along the way. But when i get home, i'd like to know the total amount of $$ i spent on the items. Currently, i cant find a way to create an object that is the sum (or division, subtraction, etc) of 2 other objects from separate contexts. Any suggestions? Hey man, Love the post.
