  • 1.  Dashboards: Remove empty columns and/or rows from visualizations

    Posted Thu July 18, 2019 05:58 AM
    Is there a way to remove columns and or rows that don't have any values from visualizations in a Dashboard?
    Filtering a Measure to only show values of a certain range only works when all values are above or below zero.

    I'm running IBM Cognos Analytics 11.1 R1

    That sounds like zero suppression. I've looked in a visualisation and I can't see anything that would give you that. Could your filter exclude where the measure <> 0?

    Yeah I'm basically asking about zero suppression in Dashboards.

    The filter for the measures is only a slider so I don't have the option to exclude 0.

    Hi Huginn,

    You should be able to type "0" for both start and end values, then hit "Invert", effectively selecting "everything except 0-0"

    That is a good suggestion but works only if the visualization has just one measure as doing this will filter out lines where other measures have values.
