Hello, I am quiet new to business objects and had some problems with the scope of analysis in an webi report I made. I am using BO version 6.1b

The problem was this, I wantet a customiced drill in the report for 7 levels:

1) Year
2) Month
3) Week
4) Warehouse
5) Item number and name
6) Lotnumber
7) Component number and name

My report should make a summare of Planned production, Actual production, calculated cost and actual cost.

But the drill did not work as I wished, the combobox contained values for the tre first steps and the rest was empty.

Then I discovered what seem as a bug in webi, it seem that it dont work with a hierarky that contains both alpha and numeric fields. When I went back to the univerce and convertet year, month and week to text the drill worked like a dream.

Well, I was searching for an answer like this when I had problems with the drill down. So this is written just to share my new knowledge.

Thanks for this. 6.1b was filled with issues relating to drilling. It will be interesting to see if this issue is addressed in 6.1.3 or 6.5.1.
