Have you tried it to do with numbers because I think it's the same problem as with text. Text can't be displayed in Cross-tabs :S

but text can't be displayed in the measures field. But it can be displayed in the dimension fields. I am using numeric for the measures field and the date and problem type fields in the dimension...

Bisrik,

I've tried it here, and there's no problem :S

What datatype has the date field?
Have you set the aggregate property of your date field to none?
Try to cast it as varchar. Does it work then?

Nice to hear it's working now...
Strange that it didn't work because it worked here fine.
Have you place a call at cognos support?

Good luck!
