Hi,
You need to provide more info for us to be able to help you. Can you show us an example of the kinds of values in your query, and what is happening vs what you want to happen? What version of Cognos are you using? Is the data relational or dimensional?

I am using sum(If ([Product].[Product_line].[STATUS] IN ('Success'))
THEN (1)
ELSE (0) ) .But its extracting 8 records instead of 4.

What version of Cognos are you using? Is the data relational or dimensional? The above is not an example of the rows in your query, nor is it an example of what is getting returned vs what you want to get returned. We can't see your data or your report. In fact, you haven't answered any of the questions we asked. To help you, I will list some questions below:
What do the 8 records getting returned look like?
What do the 4 records you desire look like?
What items of data exist in your query?
What values exist in each item?
What version of Cognos are you using?
Are you using a relational or a dimensional package?

What was the resolution?
What version of Cognos BI are you using? Wow - I have asked you that three times now, and still no answer. Why are you so reluctant to divulge even the smallest tidbit of pertinent information? Please answer these questions then we can advise on the best way to create a report view.

Sorry .I am using cognos 10.1.1 version.In my reports filter condition was wrong so I was getting wrong records.I used wrong table in filter so getting 8records instead of 4.

Now moved to the Cognos 10 board. Why did you post it in the Cognos Analytics (Cognos 11) board if you have 10.1.1?
