I have 2 universes and I want to create a report using merge queries from both universes.
The result set is like an outer join from the first query to the second query.
First universe query returns all eligible plan members for a specific month.
A second universe query will return all plan members that are enrolled in a specific initiative for that month.
It is not necessary for all Plan members to be qualified for an initiative for that month even though they may be eligible, hence the left outer join from the first universe to second universe query.
There are no measures in this report, only dimensions.
I tried merge query option in BO and tried changing the objects on the report to use either the first query or the second query after the common objects were merged. However the report currently generates results like an inner join, even though the individual queries are yielding the results I want.
My last option is to create a single universe that merges the 2 universe fact tables within it OR create a derived table within the universe that pre-joins the data as how I would need it.
Do you have any suggestions what I could do to create this report?
Thanks is advance.
