Trying to nest Items from the Same Dimension

Hi all.

I'm trying to nest items from the same dimension. I select the dimension and drag it to the work area as row. Then I select it and right-click it and click Expand.

I want to do the same with at least four depths (the dimension contains four depths), but when I try to expand the dimension (depth 3) the option is not available so I can't show this level data.

¿Is it a Cognos limitation or is it a default level I can modify in some configuration file? I need to create a report containing all levels from the same dimension.

Thanks for your help!!

Hi,

Unfortunately it's a built-in limitation in Analysis Studio - you can't nest more than three levels from the same dimension.  Do you need to be using Analysis Studio for this, or could you use Query Studio instead?

MF.
Meep!

Thanks for your help.

I think I need Analysis Studio because I have to cross a lot of data for this report.

Thanks again.

Hmmm - why not just build a crosstab report in Query Studio (or Report Studio)?
Meep!
