Great Job Jeroen !!!

I had done a couple of videos using Snagit and am embarassed to say that it does not compare in any way with your slick production values.

Is Camtasia studio freeware?

I would love to see more. They are very helpful in many ways.

Maybe a little something on how to create a simple report in RS or QS and then fix it so other users can use it as well? Or, something on tabular sets and a good use for them?

[sir_jeroen]

Nope... Camtasia is shareware...

But you liked it? That nice to heare :D

And... CoginAustin.. just as you replied I've got another brand new tutorial :D

Have fun..

[Merri]

I'd suggest something on setting up conditional formatting for, say, a traffic light report or highlighting. If you have a spare couple of days ;-)

Great tutorials!

[sir_jeroen]

It's already in there...
Look at the percentage bars. Imagine them rotated 90 degrees  ...
Bar responds to percentage value.... only there are 11 posible "traffic light combinations"  instead of 3

Thanks for the tutorial, I appreciate your efforts, they will benefit a lot of CRN users.Ã,  I did have some trouble as my browser could not contain all of the tutorial frame without scrolling.Ã,  Is there a browser setting or screen resolution I need to adjust for optimal viewing?

Thanks again!

How to create a report that contains 3 pages, and these 3 pages should be repeated for every project?
Olha

[sir_jeroen]

screen resolution = 1024x768

Upcoming tutorials:
1. Master-Detail
2. Report containing 3 pages, and these 3 pages should be repeated for every project? << Have to look in to it..


Btw.
If you have a request. Formulate it using the "Go Sales" package supplied with your CRN-installation, that would be a great help for me :D

[otsizh]

I am new to cognos . Can you provide me with some steps how to do it?

thanks,

[Darek]

Did you try any of the manuals? Look for sections on how to create Templates.

[otsizh]

Thank you very much! :)

How to create, in FM, 3 tables. 1 fact and 2 dimensions with one of them conformed or both.
Then create a report to show variance between 1 total and another total..

lol.. sorry.. I am having real issues getting variance to work between 2 fact tables  and have try numerous ways to do it but none of them are good

[sir_jeroen]

Is it a FM matter of a ReportStudio matter?  :p

[CoginAustin]

That is a very good question..lol

I can get it to work in RS if I add a calculated field.

I can't seem to get it to work by adding a calculated field in FM and using it in a list report. It always gives me the error "illogical multiple fact table". So I guess FM? I wanted the calculation done so it would be available to users to use without having to do it themselves.

[sir_jeroen]

I think I wouldn't try to solve it FM, I would do it in RS....
But did you put the calculation in the conformed dimension or somewhere else?

btw...
I think it's time to start a new topic, because i think this ain't the right topic to discuss this.

[CoginAustin]

I have a Budget fact table and an Actual fact table for Financials

They share some conformed dimension like Time, Business Unit

Each fact table has an Amount. I am try to get this type of list report:

January $budgetamount $actualamount $variance $percent_variance

For some reason adding the calculation to FM does not seem to work and breaks everything. (Atleast the way I am doing it break everything)

I posted this question here:

Reoprtnet Addict - The best kind of addiction. The best tutorial so far on reportnet...keep it going!

[drehnod]

Jeroen -

Your tutorials are EXCELLENT!Ã, 

I would (and already have) recommend them highly to anyone who's learning CRN.

I especially like the way you show things in stages - showing what the report looks like at one point, then adding to it to make it look better.

Your efforts are greatly appreciated, so.....Ã,  Ã,
