  • 1.  View in Excel option missing in Cognos 11.1.7

    Posted Wed December 16, 2020 03:27 PM
    Hi,

    Recently installed  Cognos 11.1.7 server and  imported  reports from Cognos 10.2.1 to 11.1.7.
    When I run the reports in Cognos 11.1.7, the option to export the report to excel cannot be found. See attached image from 10.2.1

    What am I missing?

    Hello Vincent,

    After running a report in HTML format, you should have a drop-down next to the Run button in the toolbar as shown in the image below.

    Is this drop down list missing?

    After I run the report I do not see the drop down list that you see. The Cognos version installed is 11.1.7 SP2.  Find attached the bar that I see when the report is executed. The browser used is Google Chrome

    Bizarre...

    I Found the option, if you click on the play button then a drop down list is seen like you see in the embedded image. Its going to take time to get familiar with the new inteface.

    Thanks Marios

    As I can remember this layout is from an older release.

    (There is no Fix Pack 2 for 11.1.7 yet so maybe you have another release?)

    Anyway I'm glad I could point you in the right direction.

    Just to correct myself, I noticed that FP2 was released yesterday for 11.1.7!

    Hi Marios,

    Thanks for the update, FP2 was downloaded from Fix Central in Sept 2020, see attached image. Is the attached image not FP2?

    No, this is FP2:

    Interim Fix 2 was released in September, but that's pre FP1
