Ok, I got a great Crosstab running based on different conditions in the case statement such as below,

case [X_Query].[CAR_BRAND]
when 1 then 'BMW'
when 2 then 'BENZ'
when 3 then 'PAYKAN'

Now, I need to add a condition to this that would be like,

I'm not sure what went wrong, but it works after I delete and re-create the query from scratch. A Cognos bug?

Thanks hespora for all your help!

Hi Revan,

I don't know if it'll help, but I've knocked together a very simple example of what I think your graph design should look like.

If your reports have required prompts, you must provide prompt values before LCM can run the reports. Prompt values are also required before you can validate your target reports.

Thank you,
But I do not know how to do this reverse calculation.

Position ('.'; [Field]) returns me the first position, but how to return the last?

What do you see in the server logs.
You can still restart your services and analyze the logs later to avoid this.
Did you try clearing your cookies and closing all open IE's etc.

Do you have delete privelage and trying this with your admin access ?

See ,if any version control is restricting this.

Thanks,
NC

which db are you using ?
If you want to use cognos function - its REVERSE.

Thanks
