Query Condition - 2 Subjects

Top  Previous  Next  

 

When building a Multiple Subject Query, a Query for a drill down report, or a drill down Query for the Dashboard, at least one of the Query Conditions should relate a column in the Child Subject, report or dashboard to a column in the Parent Subject, Report or Dashboard.  As well as Conditions which relate the two Subjects, Reports or Dashboards, you can also build Conditions which compare a Column in the Child Subject with a fixed Expression or Value.

TWO SUBJECT CONDITION

 

Using the first combo box select a Column in the Child Subject.

 

Then select a Qualifier.

 

As long as there are compatible Columns available in the Parent Table, select the appropriate Column from the last combo box.

 

Then Click on 'OK'.

If there are no Compatible Columns in the Parent Subject to match the Column chosen from the Child Subject, the Parent Subject Column combo box will be disabled and you will have to create an Expression Condition.  Even if Parent Subject Columns are available you can still opt to use an Expression Condition.
