Matrix Question

In a matrix with multiple groups on an axis, which has sub totals, how do
you determine in an expression where a particular data cell is?
For example:
----
| -2003 | +2004 |
Total |
----
| Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | |
|
----
Item 1 | x1 | x2 | x3 | x4 | x5 |
x6 |
----
Item 2 | x7 | x8 | x9 | x10 | x11 |
x12 |
----
x1 = Item 1 for 2003-Q1
x2 = Item 1 for 2003-Q2
x3 = Item 1 for 2003-Q3
x4 = Item 1 for 2003-Q4
x5 = Item 1 for 2004
x6 = Item 1 for (2003 + 2004)
x7 = Item 2 for 2003-Q1
x8 = Item 2 for 2003-Q2
x9 = Item 2 for 2003-Q3
x10 = Item 2 for 2003-Q4
x11 = Item 2 for 2004
x12 = Item 2 for (2003 + 2004)
For instance:
At cell position x4, how do I know that I am in group 2 (Quarters), at cell
position x5, how do I know that I am in group 1 (years), and at cell
position x6, how do I know that I am in group 1 (years) sub total'Did you look at the InScope function? It will allow you to distinguish
between cells in subtotals and cells in the groupings. More information on
InScope is available at:
