I have a Requirement to show a report in the format of

x1 x2 x3 y6
x5 x6 y4 y5
x7 y1 y2 y3

where x1 x2 x3
x5 x6
x7
has to come from a Hold File

and y6
y4 y5
y1 y2 y3

has to come from another hold file

and then we need to super-impose or collapse the both hold files to obtain the report in the above specified format.

Saggy, can you post the masters for the hold files?

i have the two seperate diagonals created in this way
table file H1
Sum X1
Across X2
By X3
END

table file H2
Sum Y1
Across Y2
By Y3
END

of which X2,X3 and Y2,Y3 are date fields and X1,Y1 are measure calculations.

From the information you have provided so far, I must assume that your X1 and Y1 measures are from the same domain and both dates (X2/Y2 and X3/Y3) are in the same format. If so, you could combine the two sets of data using MATCH, then generate your final ACROSS report.
MATCH FILE H1
SUM X1 AS 'M1'
BY X2  AS 'D1'
BY X3  AS 'D2'
-*
FILE H2
SUM Y1 AS 'M1'
BY Y2  AS 'D1'
BY Y3  AS 'D2'
AFTER MATCH HOLD AS H3 OLD-OR-NEW
END

TABLE FILE H3
SUM M1
ACROSS D1
BY D2
END

Hi dan,
i tried this approach of urs.
and i am getting 0's in the measure value field for M1
the report is like

x1 x2 0
x3 0 0
0 0 0

the values of the second hold file are not getting printed and they are shown up as zeros
did i miss anything in specific.

Saggy,
Is it correct to assume that X2 has 4 values, and X3 has 3 values and that the values for X1 are 0 or null out of the "triangle"? And the complement for the Y's? If not, then could you give a bit more insight?

Make certain you have given the same AS names to both sets of column names in both parts of the MATCH statements. For example, X1 and Y1, X2 and Y2, and X3 and Y3, must have the same AS names (in my example, 'M1', 'D1', and 'D2', respectively).
