Hi to all,

- We have 2 queries
- Query#1 has data items and metrics to display the GREAT TOTAL with no user prompt selection
- Query#2 has data items and metrics to display totals based on what the user selected on the prompt page
QUERY#1
-- Great Total --
[Total Sales] (NO user prompt selection)
[Total QTY] (NO user selection)
[Total QTY] / [Total Sales]
QUER#2
-- Total Based on user prompt's selection --
[Total Sales] (based on user selection)
[Total QTY] (based on user selection)
[Total QTY] / [Total Sales]
Should I create a Query#3 based on a JOIN between Query#1 and Query#2 to calculate the following:
[Total Sales] (based on user selection) / [Total Sales] (NO user prompt selection)
[Total QTY] (based on user selection) / [Total QTY] (NO user selection)

The thing is that I don't have all the same data items (ID's) on both queries (simply not all displayed on report) as for I don't really need them on both queries.

How should I deal with this? Can we even do this ?

Thank you in advance for any feed-back .
