How to create a dynamic column name in Cognos?

Answer Posted / pamir

These are the steps -

i. Create a calculated column which contains the
information that the header is to contain, such
as "Report for year 1999" (concatenated text and
date to string sub string extraction).
ii. Highlight the report, and then right-click.
iii. Select Properties, and then click the Headers/Footers
tab.
iv. Clear the Column Title Header check box. This will
remove the headers from your columns.
v. Reinsert the rest of the column headers; insert text
will work.
vi. For the dynamic column, from the Insert menu, click
Data and select the calculated column you created and
insert it into the report.
