German term or phrase: nicht darstellbar

Following text is given for context only. I just need help understanding what is meant by 'hiermit nicht darstellbar'.

"Gibt es einen Standardreport, der die Anforderungen erfüllen kann? Ist dies nicht der Fall, besteht die Möglichkeit der flexiblen Berichtsgestaltung mit den Werkzeugen SAP Query und Ad-hoc Query. Ist die Auswertung hiermit nicht darstellbar, bleibt nur die Programmierung." Danke im Voraus. M.

English translation:cannot be created

Explanation:
"If the report cannot be created using either of these tools,..." is how i think i'd translate it. I used to work in-house for SAP.

This may be helpful. It's part of SAP's own documentation for the SAP Query tool mentioned: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/cb3efb455611...

if the evalutation cannot be displayed herewith

Explanation:
...If it is not possible to depict the evaluation...

depict: darstellen. Maybe it is to fancy a word and hence displayed is pure and simple!

-> Thanks.

agree

Hilary Davies Shelby: "if it is not possible to display the evaluation using these methods" - i don't agree with the use of "herewith" - definitely too fancy!!!!

32 mins

-> It is not "herewith" but rather if I used "depict" which would be more fancy and maybe misleading! Your rendition is worthwhile too and thanks for evaluating mine.

disagree

Kim Metzger: "Displayed herewith" is atrocious English.

2 hrs

-> What is "atrocious" English for heavens sake! Your remark is on the boundary thereof!!! You disagree on a needless and senseless basis. So what if herewith is fancy or is not fancied! Do you happen to know what atrocious means! Cruel, wicked etc.!?

neutral
