3. Now go to the app Create Reports
4. Create a new report, and select the new Custom CDS View

Create Reports and Create KPI should consume analytical queries.

1. Go back to the Custom CDS Views app, and edit your custom CDS view
2. Uncheck the OData API checkbox, and select the Analytical checkbox
3. Publish the CDS view again
4. Now go to the app Custom Analytical Queries
5. Create a new query using the custom CDS view as the datasource
6. Select the fields, and filters that you want for the query
7. Publish the new query
8. At this point the service will be inactive as seen in the top right-hand corner of the screen, wait until it shows as active, refreshing the status as needed
9. Once the query is published and the service for the query is active, go to the Create Reports app again to create a new report
10. A CDS view will have been created for your custom query, so select this as the CDS view for your report
11. An OData service was generated as well for the query, so select this as the OData service for the report
12. Select an entity set, and finish creating the report which should now be successful
