Can you provide more info about how you have designed your Multiple pages report? I guess page 1-8 are based on different queries?

You can keep a prompt in the Promt page with Product list.When you run the report You will get Prompt related Data in Excel itself

Have u created 8 different queries or you have created one master queries for 'total customer' and then created shortcuts from 'Total Customer' to create individual queries for 'Customer'

Pls have a look at the attached XML.

Here, 'All Country' is the Master Query without having any filter on Country. As you can see Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Shenzhen r shortcut queries, which are derived from the master query. If you filter the master query, then all these derived shortcut queries will also be filtered.

In your case you can Create one master Query for 'Total Customer'. Then create 7 shortcut queries derived from your master query.

Add a filter to your master query 'Total Customer' i.e.
[ Product type]=? Product type ?

I have used 'Profit Center Name' in the example.

Rest follow the 'Burst' query also as demonstrated in the XML eg.

Assuming you have already did the required set up to Burst report to file location.

Now, in Cognos Connection create 'Report View' for each Product Type entry, as shown in the attached 'ReportViewcreation' doc.

Once you run the JOB, you should be able to find the excel output for each product type having 8 pages in your file location.

This is bit weird though, hope this helps you?

Thanks
