Sounds to me like that should be a table, either in the database or else in the system. Maintain that table centrally and then bring it through into your reporting environment.

Can Cognos contributor be used as a standalone product? We go through BI now to access, but was wondering if we could bypass BI and get to the contributor portion. We want to use BI for something else but still want to get to Contributor.

Thanks.

The existing code for the Query Q_TPRR utilizes a List's Rows to show
each month's entries for a Standalone Calculation of [Cases].

To show those monthly entries, we add 2 Data Items from Framework Manager of ...

Before I test, that could be a Summary Filter, but we need to add that to code,
as an example ...
When (extract(month,?p_EndDate?)=9 and [Q_TPRR].[LTMonths] between 0 and 11) then [Q_TPRR].[Cases]

Perhaps this is what needs to be replaced??

Hi, I created a report which contains two parameters(pGrupoAgente and pAgente)

I created a HTML item(report expression type) that displays the chosen values for both parameters where pGrupoAgente is required and pAgente is optional:

so you are asking a question and saying that you already know the answer ?

Rolling 12 months is a very common thing in cognos. It's called 'relative time category'. It all depends on how you define it. What is the time period of 'Current R 12'? Does it mean 12 months going backwards starting from today? What is Prior 12?

It can also be done in the report but best if done in the package.

Hmm. Ok I have mucked around with this type of thing in the past.

Attached Excel file shows structure of Date-type Fields and the Standalone Calculation of [Cases].

Put a filter in the query of the prompt to show the show the dates within that range.

[Date] >= _add_months( current_date, -3) and [Date] <= current_date

omg so simple thank you.... my issue now is I have the months repeating for every date.... how do I get to just show 1 version?

[First POL ETA Date]>= _add_months( current_date, -3) and[First POL ETA Date]<= current_date

You have to use the query item which provides the name of the month, not the date. The filter on the date is ok. Cognos will automatically use Select 'distinct' on the item and thus would show the name of the month only once.
