HI All,

As all of you know In excel when you drill down it remains same and brings new column next to it.
Case1: If you click on Year it should show  like this.

2008  Jan
         Feb
         March

Case2: But In the cognos Report studio report (Cube) .If you click on Year 2008 it  shows like this

Jan
Feb
March

Question: Is it possible to get case 1 in cognos Report studio when drilling down.
(to bring the next level in next column and with out replacing parent level)......

Plz let me know ur ideas

Thanks

cogboy

I think this is a region where Cognos has some work to do. In Analysis studio you can keep track of the parent level, whereas in Report Studio you will lose track and need to drill up to find out where you are. (At least that seems the way it is designed)
In Short: Report Studio is quite a winner with relational package and a bit lacking with DMR / Cube package

I agree with you in this case.
Thank you blom0344.

Thanks
