  • 1.  Copy value from cell in List Report

    Posted 08/27/21 09:24 AM
    It use to be possible (until version 10) to copy the cell value of a List Report to the clipboard.

    How to you manage to do this now with version 11? Exporting the report to Excel or PDF is a possible solution, but a bit annoying.

    Hi Alex,
    can it be that you're running the report with full interactivity? If yes, that's the default behaviour not to be able to copy cell values. You can deactivate the mode and run the report like in C10 with the classic viewer.All cell values can be copied then.

    I've implemented two different ways of copying values in my CogBox suite of tools.

    The first is a bit hacky, it's a custom control that programmatically adds a button to the popup toolbar that copies the inner text of the element you click on. The second one simply toggles the user-select style, allowing you to copy the text of anything on the page.

    That being said in an upcoming release of Cognos IBM is releasing a better version of the first solution. Not sure how much I can talk about it though.
