I have two data providers with common dimension and
measures. The only difference between two data providers is
in condition 'Fiscal Year'.One data provider calculates for
current year and other one calculates for previous year. So
in prompts if I am passing 2008 as current year then the two
data providers should be able to calculate for current year
and previous year individually.

So Can anybody tell me how to do calculation in data providers.
( I am using BO WebI report )

In case, your requirement doesn't allow you to create the
new objects at Designer level or use hard coded SQLs, then
you can try to create a prompt in the second dataprovider
named as 'Prev. Year'. When refreshing the report you can
pass the values for current and prev yrs both.

If you do not have a predefined filter for prev yr then you
can use your objects to create the similar conditions as
there are in the filter.
