Reducing dimensions (show selected result)

I have a question on ways to reduce the dimensions to do reconcilation or filter result?

For example, i have 10 dimensions (Lists and LS) in the final report that consumes many spaces (cells). The final report has only one single line item = value.

Say I want to show the value of selected Cost Centers but not by filtering (in saved view)

My approach is:

1st - add a flag in the "Cost Center" Attribute table

2nd - use if statement and set it to 0 if it is not flag (selected cost center)

By doing this, I get the answer i want.

However, the table size/spacing is same as the final report, which is the same size (cells).

Same for reconciliation, i use a line item subset and flag it to make two tables with the same

dimensions (larger one) then compare the variance. However, this also costs lots of spacing.

Thanks for helping.

    Why are you using that much dimensions in module? While you can use list formatted lineitems and Apply lookup formula to get the values. This will save a lot of space. And you can use those lineitems to create filters.
