It should be possible to use subsets in DBRW formulas in PAX

It is possible to have a subset reference in DBRW formula in Perspectives, the formula is then using the total for all subset elements.  This idea has not been implemented in PAX.  If the user upgrades to the new version of PA and wants to use existing reports, the conversion is pretty complicated: every DBRW that used the subset requires a separate dynamic report with the subset in the row dimension and the total that then can be referred on the main report.

    Penn Mutual Life Co. also needs this feature on PAX. We have a lot of Perspective reports that use subset in DBRW.

    Unfortunately the subset reference capability as it existed in Perspectives is not available. Support for referencing aggregates (custom groupings) in future formulas is under consideration.
