I came across this answer because I wanted each column in a
cross tabulation to have a text description different from
the variable (column's) name.
Cognos's gloriously useless documentation says nothing on
how to do this and adding text isn't an allowed action in
page design mode (the error message you get goes beyond
unhelpful).
To have the column titles, row footers, etc., you want:
1)Switch to page structure view in report studio
2) expand the crosstab by clicking the plus signs until
crosstab row levels, crosstab level(variable_name), etc. are
visible
3) from the insertable objects, drag a 'Block' at the level
you'd like to add the text. This takes some experimenting
4) after the block's been added, add into the block a Text
Item from the insertable objects
5) a window will open and you can type in whatever text you
want.
It's no wonder Jim Goodnight has such harshness towards Cognos.
Cheers

Hi All, I have 1.6 years of experience in cognos in India. I always wanted to do a MS program to earn some money in US. But I think I am little late in taking the decision. As If I have to write my GRE it will be August or September of 2012 and will have to apply for fall 2013 as fall 2012 admissions are almost done now. So my concern is how will be my career do if my MS is at this stage,. i,.e. 3 years experience in Cognos and 2 years MS program in and again looking for job in U.S. Have I been too late in taking the call? I heard that MIS (Managing Information Systems) is having very good placements now. So guys, please advice me in taking the decision to have a good career and also in terms of earning money as I have few financial problems to solve (which I am hoping to solve when I get job in US after completion of my MS program). Thanks a lot friends. I really appreciate and thank one and all for their valuable comments in this site.
