Combining Data From More Than One BOA Universe Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes This is a “regular” BOA report for AF employees Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes But if you wanted to combine data from other universes you’d have to insert the data from those universes into a single report Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes There are downsides There is a greater dependence on variables The report is not a true combination, but a co-habitation of data Manipulating data using the co-habited data is harder You really have to pay attention to what you’re doing… this is not for the inexperienced Other than these caveats… this is a neat feature Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes Click Data Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes The report dialog box opens but there are other options Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes The universe selections begin as they normally do Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes Select the other universes you want to get data from Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes After selecting the Local National Universe the data classes open normally Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes Select your fields and conditions and as you normally would Then run the query Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes In this case we’re running data from three universes Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes The original query is still there The data elements from the other universes are also present Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes Create a new report tab for the NAF data Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes Creating a new report tab and creating the report in the new tab shows only the NAF data Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes This is the Local National Data Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes If you want to edit the data provider This box opens and asks which query you want to edit…. Because we opened three universes, there are three queries Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes By selecting “query 1” that has the AF data classes, the AF universe opens and you can edit the query normally Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes You can also open the NAF universe by selecting the query that corresponds to the NAF universe Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes To get a summary a variable is created to [SUM] the three queries into one total Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes Right click and a box opens to create a new variable Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes Name the variable (in this case “POP”) Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes BOA's variable editor is like Excel Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes Build the formula Combining data from different BOA universes

Combining data from different BOA universes Then drag the new variable onto the report page Combining data from different BOA universes
