HI

Could you tell me how to define a complex/Medium/Simple report

lindero

How would you categorize a complex or a medium report? some reports I built are simple for me, but complex for others. u can say it globally.

kind regards...

bloggerman

Very True. I know its relative, but, I was hoping to have different perceptions to it.

If there are too many queries with  Set operations like (union,except etc) ,it adds a considerable amount of complexity to the report.

You can also have several simple queries which may not add to the complexity.

It really depends on how u put together data that is required,Model..etc.

I have encountered most issues with complex nested croostabs where I had to put unrelated data
together in a crosstab.It required a lot of formatting and also set operations.
