Title: Data Scrolling in the report studio like a news scroll in the news channel
Post by: tgs728 on 09 Apr 2014 11:12:29 AM
Hi all,

I have a requirement like below,in my list i have 3 columns 

country    news          average coverage

my information column has a huge data, so my requirement  is it should scroll from right to left, and i don't need any scroll bar when i ran the report it should scroll automatically from right to left continously.


Thanks,
TGS

Scrolling text in a report would drive me crazy! And by crazy I mean more crazy than I already am :)


My preferences aside, if you render the report in HTML you can use the marquee HTML tag to do this.

It feels wrong to explain how to do something I fundamentally object to, but <deep breath> here goes:

Unlock your report. Drag an HTML item from the tool box in front of the item you want to scroll. Drag another one after the item you want to scroll. The tag syntax is "<marquee>" for the one before and "</marquee>" for the one after.

Lyn, people who have done enough Cognos projects and continue to stick with development work are crazy.

I'm laughing out loud and at the same time feeling slightly seasick... :)

Thanks, Lynn, for such an entertaining answer!

MF.

Ahh...but Lynn - n (where n is traditionally a very large number) would still be immensely helpful!
