Hi,

Do you have a dimensional or relational Model?

in a dimensional you can use the periodstoDate-Function to build ytd or mtd-functionality.

I have dimensional model, in Cognos 10.2  I can't find express mode to build report, can I use the normal mode? Does Analysis studio can do this dynamic report?

What do you mean with express and normal mode?

This is the Report Studio Forum so you can build it with Report Studio.

I used to work in report studio, if you select express you can work on DMR report, I don't remember very clear.

Thanks for your document. :)

Hi,

I think you're getting a little confused. Express mode for Report Studio used to be a simplified interface for authoring financial-style reports, but you could do that (and much more) in "normal" Report Studio too. You can use DMR packages in Report Studio.

Cheers!
