I have a requirement for create an audit kind of report where values will be generated for each individual employee in the 2nd report  through OTBI.

e.g.

Employee#Job CodeGrade
123400112
567800245

Now each Job code has it's own defined Grade values in separate report

Job CodeGrade
00112
00223
00334
00445
00556

Based on this 2nd table, 2nd employee(Employee# 5678) in the 1st table has given a wrong Grade(correct Grade based on Job code should be 23) and I have to flag that in the 1st report.

Please let me know if you need more information.

    1.) What exact version?

    2.) Are you talking about BI Publisher "reports"? Or OBIEE "analyses"?

    Be specifc.

    Version : Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.9.0

    This is through OTBI Subject Area, which is similar to OBIEE analysis.

    Ok so you are talking about analyses and not reports.

    Now that the basic information is provided please explain more in detail what you are trying to achieve because your initial post doesn't show what you're trying to do.

    I have created below report

    Report #1

    Job Code

    Grade

    00112
    00223
    00334
    00445
    00556

    where each job code has it's defined Grade information.

    now the Report #2 shows employee level information

    .

    Employee#

    Job Code

    Grade

    123400112
    567800245

    where the Grade values need an audit based on the Report #1 Grade value based on Job code and if the Grade values are different than it's listed out in Report #1 for a Job code than mark it.

    Let me know if you need more information.

    Ok you keep insisting on using the word "report" so I must ask for confirmation again:

    WHAT are you talking about? BI Publisher "reports" or OBI "analyses"?!

    Those are two totally different technologies and two totally different tools / products / software packages / whatever you want to call it.

    Please be precise!

    Mr. Berg - You asked for clarification and the OPster copied the OPost ... no wonder you lose it!

    Now 3283945 ... when you pass one value from an ANALYSIS to another you are doing so as a filter ... you are better off showing both reports and letting the user input the target (value from ANALYSES 1) and use that in ANALYSES 2 ... you really aren't filtering with that value, rather you are calculating.

    I have mentioned in my previous reply to @Christian Berg that the reports are using OTBI subject area.

    But you seem not to comprehend that two technologies behave differently and have a different impact on the solution because even if a skateboard and a Formula 1 car can both be counted as "methods of transportation" you wouldn't fix a Formula 1 car the same way as you fix a skateboard.

    Still since the OP doesn't seem to want to acknowledge this in spite of multiple questions I leave this thread to someone else.

    Thanks for the whatever help you have provided here.

    I thought I provided all necessary details to the community to look in to and help with expert advice.

    I am referring here to OBI analyses(Subject Area) where both analysis are it's own report.
