Is there a way to combine, sum and rename rows in a report using Business objects Webi without going to the universe? I'm really new to Webi reports.

Consider this: |Event|NumberOfattendees| |-|-| |DanceA|100| |DanceAA|100| |MemberD|100| |MemberDD|100|

Expected output:

Event NumberOfattendees
CDanceAAAA 200
CMemberDDDD 200

Thank you!!!

If you are trying to combine row results then you can use New Variable in Webi Reports. Other way is adding a BREAK on that column with a specific condition and then use Sum on 2nd column to consolidate the results.

Hope this helps.

Let's start of with "it depends". If you know how you want to group them, then you can create a new dimension variable to support them.

For example, you could create a variable called Event Group like: =IF(Left([Event];5)="Dance";"Dance";If(Left([Event];6)="Member";"Member");"Other")

Or you could create a spreadsheet with an Event to Event Group mapping, load that as a new data provider, merge the two data providers on Event and then use your new Group Mapping from the Excel provider in your report.
