I came across this answer because I wanted each column in a
cross tabulation to have a text description different from
the variable (column's) name.
Cognos's gloriously useless documentation says nothing on
how to do this and adding text isn't an allowed action in
page design mode (the error message you get goes beyond
unhelpful).
To have the column titles, row footers, etc., you want:
1)Switch to page structure view in report studio
2) expand the crosstab by clicking the plus signs until
crosstab row levels, crosstab level(variable_name), etc. are
visible
3) from the insertable objects, drag a 'Block' at the level
you'd like to add the text. This takes some experimenting
4) after the block's been added, add into the block a Text
Item from the insertable objects
5) a window will open and you can type in whatever text you
want.
It's no wonder Jim Goodnight has such harshness towards Cognos.
Cheers
