Create Side-by-Side Chart Comparisons‏

[konesens]

Hello folks,

I found this quiet interesting link on creating a Side-by-Side Chart Comparisons‏ but it is done wih Active report. does anyone know how to do the same with report studio.

So far I have created duplicate chart1 = query1 and chart2 = query2 queries but was wondering if it was appropriate regarding performance and maintaining the code
Thanks

Here is a report I made quickly , I guess there is better solution than this :

<report xmlns="http://developer.cognos.com/schemas/report/7.0/" useStyleVersion="10" expressionLocale="en-us">
            <modelPath>/content/package[@name='GO Data Warehouse (query)']/model[@name='model']</modelPath>
            <drillBehavior modelBasedDrillThru="true"/>
