I am new to Business Objects and more specifically Desktop Intelligence. We are trying to use it as a reporting tool for our scientific data but running into issues when performing calculations to "create" objects and then trying to perform statistical or aggregate functions on them. For example I run a query that pulls the columns subject name, result day, parameter, and result value. In a table it would look like this:
SUBJECT DAY PARAM RV
10001 0 Length 5.32
10001 0 Width 4.68
10002 0 Length 3.98
10002 0 Width 1.64
10001 7 Length 8.89
10001 7 Width 7.30
10002 7 Length 4.17
10002 7 Width 2.19
We then use the equation for Volume: L*W^2*0.52 in the report defined as measure variable. Using a cross tab with days across the top and subjects down the side I display Length Width and Tumor Volume like such:
0 7
SUBJECT L W V L W V
10001 5.32 4.68 60.59 8.89 7.30 246.35
10002 3.98 1.64 5.57 4.17 2.19 10.40
COUNT # #
MEAN # #
Within the footers I'd like to display aggregates such as count, standard deviation, percent change from day zero but they are all screwed up. It's not that it's also doubling the n by two either to account for the fact that Length and Width make up Volume. I have no clue and am at a loss. Any advice suggestions or guidance would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance, Jeff
