Hi MFGF,
Can you explain why step 6 has to do for the above logic...
Here is ur step 6
6. If your calculations exist in the query but are not shown in the list, select the list using the Select Ancestor button, go to the Properties property, and enable the calculations as properties of the list.

Thanks

Yep...

If a data item or calculation is in the query but not used in the display, the query minimization rules in Cognos mean that it gets ignored when the report runs because it's not deemed necessary to anything that displays on the page. You can force it to be used / evaluated by making it a property of the list.
