Title: Cognos Report Studio - Chart inside list
Post by: Lapis.knight on 09 Sep 2022 05:12:10 PM
In Report Studio 11.1.7, how can I nest a chart inside/alongside a list such that there is a chart for each row which is filtered based on the data on a specific list column?

I found an old tutorial here: https://subscription.packtpub.com/book/big-data-&-business-intelligence/9781849680349/2/ch02lvl1sec18/creating-nested-report-defining-master-detail-relationship

But when I try it I get an error message at step 3. When I try to drag a new visualization next to the list I get "An object of this type cannot be inserted into a list".

I've tried fumbling around with unlocking the report, repeater tables, etc. but even if I can get the charts to appear in the correct spot, the "master-detail relationship" option is never available.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Maybe try with a chart rather than a visualization. Before you drag in the visualization, switch to Page Design mode (rather than Page Preview), then drag the visualization into the list as a new column. In the top right corner of the Visualization gallery, use the dropdown to switch from 11.1 visualizations to charts, then pick a chart.

Cheers!

MF.
