Learn how grouping and sectioning in Cognos Analytics organize data, placing a data item on top, and enabling page breaks to display each product category on separate pages.

Learn how to group data by product category to reduce repetition and improve readability in reports. Sort by sales in descending order and show per-category subtotals plus the grand total.

Learn to perform calculations in Cognos Analytics by creating a revenue field from unit price and quantity, applying a 15% discount, computing net sales, and sorting results descending.

Learn to use detail and summary filters in Cognos Analytics to focus on branded and coffee bean categories, filter by sales thresholds like 5000, and produce focused reports.

Learn to create cross tab reports that compare sales by product and region using multi dimensional views with rows, columns, measures, and nesting of product group and category.

Learn to create over 335 different chart types in Cognos Analytics, including clustered column, area, stacked column, and line charts, using drag-and-drop to depict product types and sales across regions.

Explore prompts as interactive filters enabling on-demand data filtering in Cognos Analytics. Discover text box, value, search and find, date, and cascading prompts for flexible, multi-region reporting.

Explore how to use text box prompts in Cognos Analytics to run searches with exact word matching, case sensitivity, and prompt buttons across product group, category types, city, and sales.

Build a three-column Cognos list report using a text box prompt to filter by product category, then run the report by finishing the prompt and selecting a sample value.

Value prompts provide a user-friendly way to filter by single or multiple values through a dropdown or checkbox, with optional auto run or a submit button, creating behind-the-scenes filters.

Create and configure a value prompt on product category, set bakery as the default, and run the report to apply the default while allowing changes.

Master the select and search prompt for free hand text search with wildcard support, enabling lightweight, rapid report generation from chosen results.

Use the date prompt in Cognos Analytics to filter a report by a specific date or date range, applying operators such as less than or equal to.

Learn how cascading prompts connect a source prompt to a target prompt, using product group and product category to filter a base report and drive dynamic results.

Explore arithmetic functions in Cognos Analytics, computing totals, averages, minimums, and maximums across product type and quantity, using group by to build reports.

Explore date related functions in Cognos Analytics, including add days, current date, first and last day of month, and days between, with hands-on reporting examples.

Master detail reporting in Cardano's Analytics nests a detail report from a second data source under a master report and joins them on a common field such as product type.

Create a master-detail list report in Cognos Analytics by nesting product group, category, and type with sales, define relationships, and use cut to remove fields while preserving the query.

Define and navigate drill through reports by linking a master sales report to a detailed report, passing product category parameters to reveal detailed data.

Build a dashboard in cognos analytics that consolidates reports, charts, and kpis into an interactive, business-driven view, using pie charts, donut charts, and drill-downs with master-detail across regions and products.
