Hello Magesh I have a doubt… I need to extract from a PostgresSQL as a data source two different kind of data and put it on SpagoBI 5 to make an analysis, the analysis is the following, I have to take from PostgreSQL the list called “Quotation” with a series of columns with their names and put it on Spago BI and I have to take also the data called “Invoice” with a series of columns too, and from these two data I have to take a common column between those two data source (Rel Nr is the name in this case) in order to see the duration of the time clients who ask for a quotation in a given date finally did a purchase too in a final date. the data starts since 1998, but I only want to work with data from 2010 until current. Invoice is the data of the clients who did a purchase and Quotation is the data of clients who ask for a Quotation.
