Hi All,
recently I came across a requirement to merge two Queries where the values of one of the merged dims had leading spaces.
Values from Query 1 dim was :
id value
"123" 1
"345" 2
"567" 3
and the values from Query 2 was
id dim1
" 123" a
"345" b
" 567" c
Simply merging this dimensions will lead to the following values for the merged dim
merged id
" 123"
" 567"
"123"
"345"
"567".
How to get the merged values as
"123"
"345"
"567"
and use the other objects from the Queries like ?
merged id val dim_det
"123" 1 a
"345" 2 b
"567" 3 c
Steps :
1 - merge both queries on [id] onto [merged dim],
2 - create a dimension variable [final merged dim] = Trim([merged dim]),
3 - create a detail variable for [dim], [dim det] = Trim([dim]) whit associated dimension = [final merged dim],
4 - use [final merged dim], [val] and [dim det] on your report.
