Hi, Denny, I would have to test this out and see how it works for me. I know in the past I have tried to recreate filter issues without success, but maybe the merged dimensions in your example are causing an extra wrinkle.

Hi Dave,

First, thanks for all help that you provide with all posts.
Could you help me with a issue ? I have 3 merged (Country – Region – City) dimensions that are grouped in Universe by Hierarchy. I use these 3 dimensions in a Webi report (XI 3.1). My problem: If I chose the 3 originals (no merged) dimensions as filters, every thing is OK. The second filter (region) show me just Regions in Country selected. BUT, when I put the merged dimensions as filters, I lost the relationship betwen the filters.

Can you help me ?

Many thanks.

I just stumbled across your blog – Great Job explaining the Merged Dimensions feature! I am in the process of modifying a few financial reports some else developed a year ago and your article helped greatly. Thanks.

Hi, without more details I can’t speculate. It would probably be faster to post your question on BOB as I don’t check comments here on my blog every day.

I have a question over using report level filters on data resultng from extended merge. I am trying t restrict a few values for a particular column but the filter doesnt seem to work. I wonder why it is behaving like this.
