Apply Filters in Relational Cognos Reports

The same business filter may behave differently depending on where it is applied in the reporting query.

Distinguish detail filtering from filtering aggregated results, and verify joins and grouping before relying on the output.

Validation and limitations

For reusable logic, consider whether the filter belongs in a report, a data module or the underlying data source.
