Title: Cognos 8.2 Report Studio - Charts with multiple measures
Post by: SweetWill on 09 Jan 2008 02:12:47 PM
Does anybody know how to build a chart with multiple measures? I have tried several, the last  being a combination chart and keep getting a bizarre error message when I try and pull in the second measure.

Any help would be appreciated...

Hi,

Try this:

Create a simple column chart.
Drag a descriptive item to the Category area.
Leave the default measure area (y-axis) empty.
Drag your first measure to the Series area.
Drag your second measure to the Series area below the first.

Does this help, or are you looking at a more complex situation?

Regards,

MF.

Much appreciated... That worked well for two measures.

Only problem is I have 3 measures; Purchases, Redemptions and Net Flows.

I may be able to get by with this and split into a couple charts.

Best Regards,
Will
