Title: 'Crosstab Space (with Text)'
Post by: teelee on 13 Sep 2010 10:19:06 AM
Hi All,
I'm following the directions in the Tips and Techniques document for 'Multiple Aligned column Headers in Lists and Crosstabs' I found under proven practices.
On page 8, 3.2 Crosstab Report, it says to 'drag a 'Crosstab Space (with Text)' object from the 'toolbox' onto the column edge.
First of all, I do not see the 'crosstab Space (with Text)' in the toolbox, so that makes it difficult to follow the directions.
Second, am I missing something, is there another way to accomplish this task,'Multiple Aligned column Headers in Lists and Crosstabs'?

Thanks for any assistance!

Hi MF,
I'm using Cognos 8.4.1

In 8.4.1, drag in a 'Crosstab Space' from the toolbox, then drop a 'Text item' into it to get the same end result as the old 'Crosstab Space (with Text)' object.

Regards,

MF.

Thanks MF,
I did that as a last result.  I thought I was missing something in the directions.  Thanks for letting me know it was in the previous version.

Have a wonderful day!
