How to keep data inside pivot for only 1 item while several has chosen

Hi everyone,


I've got some problem with several pivots and objects.
What i want to do is choose any variation of 2 items from listbox and get a pivot for each of them only without any other data, so for certain item i need to determine directly which pivot should contain it (6-7 tables max). Because now i get both selected items in a row inside a pivot.

I want to do it like this:

Listbox1
ob1 <-selected
ob2 <-selected
ob3
ob4

Pivot1                          Pivot2
Dim1     ob1                 Dim1     ob2

Dim2     ob1.staff          Dim2     ob2.staff

Dim3     ...                   Dim3     ...

The main question is what tipe of solution would it be: script editing or calculated dimension or expression or smth else?

If you make sure to select only two values you can probably use set analysis expressions. Suppose you have sum(Sales) as chart expression. You could modify that to these:

sum({<Dim1={"$(=MinString(Dim1))"}>}Sales)

sum({<Dim1={"$(=MaxString(Dim1))"}>}Sales)

But perhaps you should consider using alternate states and use two listboxes, one for each alternate state. You can find more information about that in this blog post: Why Comparative Analysis
