In which type of report we can create school time table in
cognos? [I want period numbers in rows like period 1,
Period 2, period 3, period 4, period 5 and class numbers in
columns like 8th class, 9th class, 10th class and subject
names in cells]
Genelally school time table is prepared in crosstab report,
but subject names are not measures and a crosstab cell can
not contain non-measures. This is my problem,,,,,

Answer Posted / ash

Step1: Create a crosstab with row as Period and Column as
Class Number.

Step 2: create a data item Subject as
case subject_name
when 'English' then 1
when 'History' then 2
when 'physics' then 3
...
end

step 3:pull this data item as measure cell.

step 4: create a conditional string variable with
expression as
=dataitem
Create values for this variable as your subject names eg,
English, History, Physics etc.

Step 5: Apply this conditional variable on measure cells in
crosstab. Set conditional text for different values.
