  • 1.  Nested data in Charts Category

    Posted 01/07/20 08:38 AM
    Dear all,

    I'm trying to use a technique which was working fine up to Cognos 10, and doesn't seem to work now for Cognos 11.
    Below is an example of the expected result, which was working on Cognos 10:
    There are clearly 2 "dimensions" in the Category area.
    In the example / image below, you can see how it was possible previously to get this result:
    Now, in Cognos 11, it seems impossible to redo the same. Even if from "Visualization", I select "Charts", I cannot redo the same.
    Adding a second "dimension" to the Category area is either not accepted by Cognos or isn't handle the same way (so that it is impossible to get the same nested effect).
    This is critical for me, more or less, and I would not understand why this feature is not available anymore.

    What am I missing?
    Any help / advice welcome,

    Thanks!
    Kind Regards.

    @Cosme POUSSET I just tested in Cognos Analytics 11.1.4 and works fine for me. (Screenshot attached) What version of Cognos 11 are you using?

    Dear Denny,

    Thanks for your answer and your test.
    We are currently on 11.1 R3, so I understand that we really need to update to the latest version. 11.1.5 is there (if I'm correct), so I hope it will work fine also in this version!

    Kind regards.

    Here is the public APAR - https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PH16433

    This has been fixed in 11.1.4 and up
