tooltips in crosstab reports in Cognos

[rj.sehgal]

Is there a way to show tooltips in a crosstab report ? I tried using the same method which is used in case of a list report, but in case of a crosstab, the whole column displays the same tooltip. Any suggestions?

Hi,

This technique works on a crosstab as well as for a list. Place the following as HTML items before and after your column headings (unlock report when inserting HTML)
(<a title="Put the tooltip here"> COLUMN NAME </a>)

thanks
