More than one SAP-BW Query

A normal Profit and Loss statement usually contain some Revenue portion, and some Cost portion, and most of the time, there's a section where you deduct the cost to get the net profit yada yada yada.

But to do that in SAP Business Explorer proves quite a challenge especially if the row is in some sort of hierarchy format. The work around this is, yes, you got it, to combine 2 or more query into one worksheet, to create the "illusion" of having it all in one statement.

So how do you combine more than one query into BEX? Simple. Follow this step:
  1. Click on "Tools" icon.
  2. Select "Insert Query..."

and Walla! You got more than one query into your workbook. Don't forget to save the workbook for later use.

See, nifty trick eh? But a better solution would be a way to have a calculated row that computes from the revenue portion, and the cost portion. Any SAP Guru out there willing to give some tips on how to achieve this? Oh well. For now I guess I have to be contented with this sort of "hack" :)
