You may also add breaks or report sections based on objects, and then sort those as well. Filtering via the Slice and Dice Panel enables you to include or exclude specific values retrieved. This is particularly useful when working with a large data set that you wish to manipulate many ways before deciding upon the final report format. You may set, change and remove filters as often as you wish without having to rerun the original query. This allows you to both view the data at the level of detail retrieved by your query and calculate at break levels you have designated.
Available calculations are dependent upon the datatype of the object.
More advanced calculations are also available using Business Objects report Variables. For example, where you'd expect to see 1,000.00 as the display for one thousand, you'd instead see 1.000,00 . To fix this, first try closing the report, closing Business Objects, and then logging on and running your report again. If your installation has the bug, you will see '.,' for this parameter. Change it to equal to ','.
