I am new to Cognos and Report Studio and I am having trouble pulling values into the header.  There are a number of fields that are listed in the header of my report and based on a user prompt A, values B, C, D, E, etc. change.  How do I pull in that data?  Do I have to create a separate query for each one....select B where A="user input" and then pull it in?

I have been able to display the user input by listing ParamValue("Parameter Name")

HI,
U can Drag calculated data item.
then add the parameter display value of that prompt which u want to show.
Run the report and select the prompt. U will get the prompt selection value in Header.
