  • 1.  Does Reporting Support Navigation Path when Crosstab Has a Summary?

    Hi,

    I am receiving an error when traversing a navigation path on a crosstab report that has summaries:

    XQE-PLN-0071 The query is not supported. The referenced detail 'Product Line En' for the 'within detail' aggregate 'Summary(Product Line En)' can not be found on the same edge as a sibling of the given aggregate.

    I'm wondering is this not supported?  I created an example using the GOSALES sample database to illustrate the issue.

    Thanks

    You can change "use set aggregation" from no to yes (see screenshot).
    If that doesn't work, why not nest the measure beneath the rows, instead of adding a summary

    Hi Sandeep,

    The suggestion to can change "use set aggregation" from no to yes worked! That's not something I would expect a self-service end user to know, but good workaround for developed reports.

    IBM has acknowledged it is a defect.

    Thank you!

    Jeremy, can you share with me which specific version of Cognos Analytics you are using?

    I'm experiencing the same symptom but the "use set aggregation" setting change did not make a difference for me.

    Thank you.

    Hi Ferd, we’re using 11.1.7 FP2.
