Validity table
Drill-down according to a validity object is now well defined; that means the result is independent of the drilling history. Values that should not appear (according to the validity table) are displayed within brackets. Sample:
Jan Plant A: Plant B: Plant C: +30 Feb Mar +20 +10 Apr +40 +20 +20 May +10 +30
Validity interval
With validity object (filter on Plant B): object: LAST Without validity object: LAST Plant A: 30 30 50 90 100 | 100 Plant B: [120][120] 130 150 [150] | 150 120 120 150 Plant C: [0] [0] [0] 20 50 | 50 0 0 0 -------------------------------------------SUM: 150 150 180 260 300 | 300

Query:
Constant Selection
In the Query Designer, you select the data you want to show during the run time for the report. You can use navigation and filtering to make further changes to the selection during runtime (the selection is restricted further). The new version of the Query Designer allows you to select constants. This means that navigation or filtering has no effect on the selection during runtime. Thus, you can easily select reference sizes that remain unchanged during runtime. The constant selection is very helpful, for example, in market share calculations. In a product list (product in drilldown), you do not want to see the absolute sales revenue, but rather the sales revenue in relation to a specific product group. (In 2.0 you could only relate the value to the (total) results cell or the query result.)
