Hi Mark,

Thanks por answer me. I do not think it is important thw warehouse knowledge to solve my problem because at the end all the tables are relational.

The point is that I do not want make changes in the database, I want work only with Discoverer to solve this problem. Perhaps I could do something in the EUL with complex folders and creating calcules but it does not work.

Any idea about doing it with complex folders and calcules?

Thanks you,
