Are you using this in interactive or non-interactive mode?

It looks like Cognos has 2.0.3, at least in the frame. Non-interactive mode does have something using the $ keyword, but it's not jQuery, it looks like it's something IBM wrote.

The function can be set to run automatically when the page loads. Create a new prompt page that has the script. Put a render variable on the page.

On the first prompt page put a prompt in a hidden div that controls that variable, then you can have butt...

Operating system, web server, database connectors.

Cognos comes with Java, which is usually sufficient. Flash is being deprecated by all major browsers. Office shouldn't be installed on a server to begin with.

I think the solution Paul posted works perfectly, although you'd have to do it for one query at a time:

  • Create a new page

So it seems like it's still reserving space on the page for the crosstabs, even though there's no data showing (which is a nice change). So I have my Year to Date crosstab, then multiple blank lines on my worksheet, then the crosstabs with data showing...

I have done that already but it will only total the first column which is the employee name. Need be subtotal to appear at both the employee name and the type of expense column. I think it is related to the query being part of a join.

Clean house has risks, mainly related to the now missing category still being present in report filters, category views (often used for security), etc. Also, it will wipe any calculated or 'special' categories, e.g. a Cognos-generated time dimension.

You could get it into FM, but the data item would get recreated/rerun every time you use it. So I would persist it into the database, i.e. have the dba create you a table.
