Hi Planning Gurus,

I know this is simple, but it's not working.

How to save the existing Selection with the new changes and with the same name?
As of now it seems it does not allow to do that. The OK button to select the existing name of the Selection is disabled.

For e.g. we have 3 dimensions in a cube. Time, Products and Sales. I have a saved selection with All Sales, All Products and Qtrs from Time dimenstion and I give the seelction a name say, "Quarterly Data". Now, I want to change the Time dimension to include Oct, Nov and Dec alongwith Q4, and I want to save as the same selection name, "Quarterly Data", kind of overwriting a file.
And I don't want to do the entire re-selection process again, just want to include 3 more data elements and save with the same name.

Appreciate your time and your help!

Thanks,

I am not sure if this a Cognos bug with the version. I am having 10.1 version. OPened a Cognos ticket and they haven't heard abut this issue earlier. But they were able to replicate the problem. If you are on the latest version, and if you can give a shot at this simple selection to see if it works at your end, that will be great!!

Have a ncie day.
