Hi All,
I am very new to Cognos. I need some help in "Selecting the criteria for Date".

I need to display data selection criteria.
Like one radiogroup button with all possible values like
1. From Date  to   To Date
2. Select Month
3. Select Year
4. Select Quarter.
I wanted to display the possible values to select criteria for Date by users.

When user selects first value lik "From Date to To Date", it should display the selection for From Date and To Date (may be using Listbox prompts).

And when user selects Month in Criteria, it should display the options to select Month values and same to other values.

Can any one help on this.
Its urgent priority.
Appreciate earliest reply.

Thanks.

you can do this by using a conditional block with prompts inside for each value of the radiogroup prompt.
It'll be easier if it is a drop down prompt instead of radiogroup.
That way you can set autosubmit on the first prompt to populate other prompts in the conditional block depending upon what is selected.
