    Formatting date into hours

    I am trying to build a Business Objects report that breaks daily data into 1 hour sections. I have the measure I want to add to a cross tab but I cannot figure out a good way of splitting time data up into hours throughout the day. I have tried formatting the date/time object into SHORT_TIME...

    Using 'Rank' formula in Business Objects

    I have a crosstab in BO and I wish to select the Top 3 values from the measure in the table. I have tried using the rank function but this does not work. My crosstab looks something like this: Name A B C D Date 01/01 10 8 2 02/01 7 03/01 1 9 6 2 I know I need to use the ‘rank’ formula...
