Unfortunately I have to <a href="http://www.dagira.com/getting-support/" rel="nofollow">make it a policy</a> to only answer questions directly related to something I've posted here to avoid too many people expecting personal support. If you have a question or clarification on an existing blog post I'm certainly going to take a look. Otherwise I am going to suggest that you post your question to the general community at BOB. http://busobj.forumtopics.com Thanks for understanding, good luck with your project.

I have a cust dim , Fact , Product dim ,Product Grp dim.
Here my product grp Id foreign key column is getting values from both product dim as well as Product group dim. ie.,

Fact. Prodgrp Id = Prod.Product id
Fact. Prodgrp Id = Prod Group.Prodgrp ID

The report requirement is :

Cust code// Prod grp desc // Prod Desc // Total Amount( from fact)
1 A - $100
2 B - $120
3 - X $110

I tried alising ,merging and all but cld not put togethr Prod and Prod Grp desc togethr.

Ur help wld be gr8ly appreciated.

I don't remember what it is. :lol: I submitted two ideas, one called "Return of the Variables" with a focus on reporting, and one on the Universe Designer once again. The design one was selected, the variables one was not. Mark, I am very excited to be going to TechEd. I will be attending the Community Day on Monday, and then gathering whatever I can from the conference the rest of the week. I intend to be a sponge. It has been a very long time since I have been able to go to a conference without having to worry about preparing a presentation. I plan to write a number of blog posts about the experience to share with the BusinessObjects community, since I suspect that for many (like it is for me) this is a "new" event that has become available for consideration because of the acquisition. http://www.sapteched.com/usa/home.htm Nick, yes it does have a title.

For me, it became a hobby to visit BOB and Dagira to understand concepts better. Dave, it is too nice to see you describing things with just a simple scenario.

I use the same recipe with a number of variations... I will use M&M chips sometimes too. I also have a recipe for Double-Chocolate Dave Cookies that are chocolate with chocolate chips, or on occasion chocolate with peanutbutter chips. Yum. :D Hi, Dallas, and welcome.

My wife and I created a batch of these last night. Yum! Following your example, we baked the cookies on a SILPAT silicone mat which contributes to the texture - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. BTW, Kroger makes some really great Private Selection chocolate chips using Belgian chocolate. The chips are a bit larger than the usual Nestle chips. We mixed 1/2 bag of dark chocolate chips with 1/2 bag of milk chocolate chips. Excellent recipe, Dave. My wife and I created a batch of these last night. Yum!

The suger is classified as 'wet stuff' because it gets added to the same bowl. :) I use two bowls when making cookies, and the first gets the wet stuff like eggs and vanilla and sugar while the other gets the dry stuff like flour and salt. I should mention that these measurements are all "US-based" so a stick of butter means just that, one stick. The actual measurement is 1/4 of a pound.
