• Key Concepts: 
  A derived table is a type of table in SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool (IDT) that is created from existing tables. It is used to combine data from multiple sources into one table, allowing for easier analysis and reporting. The derived table can be used to join tables, filter data, and perform calculations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a derived table in IDT, first select the tables you want to combine. Then, select the columns you want to include in the derived table. Finally, define the join conditions and any calculations you want to perform on the data. Once the derived table is created, it can be used in reports and dashboards just like any other table. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a derived table, it is important to make sure that the join conditions are correct and that all of the necessary columns are included. This will ensure that the data is accurate and up-to-date. Additionally, it is important to consider how the derived table will be used in reports and dashboards before creating it. This will help ensure that all of the necessary calculations are performed and that the data is presented in an easy-to-understand format.
