Tip

Display Text Values in a Cognos Crosstab

Crosstabs are commonly associated with numeric measures, but some requirements call for text or descriptive values.

Practical approach

Review how text is aggregated or selected in the context of row and column intersections; avoid forcing numeric summary logic onto text.

Validation and limitations

Test duplicate intersections and export behavior to ensure each cell contains the intended description.
