Answer Posted / fernando
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, I have Cognos 7.0 Impromptu reports and these reports have been created with the Mainframe datasource. Now the business needs these reports should be upgraded but with Oracle datasource. So what's the idea, first we should migrate these reports into ReportNet? then in that case what we will do with the Impromptu Catalog? Second, suppose we need to migrate these reports into Cognos 8 (may be 8.4) then how we will do that? do we need to create a FM Model for these reports. Please advice!
