im new to cognos reporting. I have created a report using report studio. It has tables and charts.
Then I added an export link to excel using drill down.
The problem occurs when im doing export. The sort order in html version is different in the exported version.
What seems to be the problem?
Thanks.
Already solved the problem. I just need to set the category axis property of reverse category order to NO then problem solved.
I already found the solution. Since we've migrated from cognos 8 to cognos 10. The charts was not migrated properly. So I just did a convert chart so it will be migrated to cognos 10. After doing that, I just need to set the category axis property of reverse category order to NO then problem solved.
Thanks.

I am new to the forum. Nice to meet all of you.
I am facing the problem that the header and footer section are missing on last 17 pages of RDLC report. However, the previous 60+ pages of report is worked well.The header and footer section is containing both static and dynamic data.
After I go to find the solution, I found that the operation code of report should be no problem and the only thing that may be problem is the things on layout may cause the error.
I also try to make the report with two export: PDF and EXCEL.I found that only PDF have this problem but EXCEL don't have this kind of problem. However, I cant find the problem to change the layout.
I am using SQL server management studio to manage database, Microsoft Dynamic Nav 2013 to get the data from database ,Visual Studio 2010 to manage layout of report.
Thus, hope you guys could suggest some idea for me as this types of problem don't have any discussion on internet.
After my mind is dropping into hell and try to change setting of the places that may be cause the error in more than 10 hours, I finally found the solution!!!
In my report body content, it has a list1 tablix to contain a rectangle that contains two tables to show the list of transactions.I just change the KeepTogether to "True" in the properties of the two tables, the list1 tablix, and the rectangle.And change the PointBreak to "end" for list1 tablix.
Thus, the report is worked well in PDF export.
I have Lightswitch 2013 and need to have nested autocomplete boxes. All the examples on the Internet are for older versions of Lightswitch and there are just a few differences in their examples from my version. Example: When adding Data Item for Local Property, Type "someTable" (Entity) doesn't come up as a choice. Also, if I click on one of my tables, then when I drag this Local Property to the screen is doesn't create an autocomplete box. Seems simple, but frustrating when I've tried many different ways. Please provide specific example using Lightswitch 2013. Thanks in advance. Steve
The steps are:
(1) Create a table called Customers(Id, Name) and a table called Orders(Id, CustomerId, Description) Create a foreign key relationship between Customers.Id and Orders.CustomerId.
(2) Update your LightSwitch 2013 Data Source
(3) Create an Add/Edit screen using the Orders table.
(4) By Default, all the fields (Id, Customer, Description) should be included. The Customer field should default to 'Details Picker' (The Choices will be 'Auto' and will lookup Customers in the Customers table)
Note: The Details Picker will AutoComplete after you type a minimum of three characters.
Thanks for the answer. I figured it out myself. I played around with displaying fields on my screens to see what was actually happening until I finally found out that I can add a specific data binding? to my properties and didn't have to use the drop down choices. I've got it working now.
This seems like a basic requirement for using Lightswitch. I wish someone would be able to post a detailed step by step solution to properly using nested autocomplete boxes. I'm not sure I would remember how to do nexted autocomplete boxes if I had to do this again in a year.
When an expert, like a Beth Massi, provides a detailed example for a specific version of Visual Studio or Lightswitch, it would be nice if that expert, or his/her replacement, would provide a new detailed example whenever Visual Studio or Lightswitch has a new version. Thanks for all the help I have received by searching the Internet.
Cognos Report Studio: how to export data table attached to chart in excel
I want to export a cognos report out to excel. In my report, there are two tables and two charts. When I export to excel, the charts are rendered as static images. What I want is to export the cognos report with two charts which data sources are from the two tables. Like simple charts in excel, chart data range is selected from the table.
The purpose of doing this, is for me to be able to import the excel charts to Roambi. Roambi needs a chart which data range is from a table.
Thanks a lot.

What Cognos BI version do you have?
In Cognos 10.2 Chart is exported as Chart in Excel 2007. And you can unhide hidden list of data for chart.
But ykud is right - try Active report for mobile users.
Thank you, Alexey Baturin!
I am using cognos 10.2. And I found out that there is chart data in the hidden tabs. Sorry for late reply bcos I didn't see it.
I found out that there is chart data and it's only importing problem in Roambi.
I uploaded to the sharepoint as a data source for Roambi. But I can't import this file sometimes, showing the error "This file has no content. It cannot be imported". This is inconsistent.
I have found out a way to resolve:
I export the cognos report to excel.
Open the excel file, Save and Close. No need to change anything.
And upload to sharepoint.
Then I have no error and can import to Roambi.
I can’t afford any manual intervention like this, for this process.
I have created a report which contains a subreport.
This subreport in turn contains two more subreports and each of them display a graph.
When I preview the main report it loads partially and incomplete, however each subreport previews perfectly fine.
Why is this happening and what is the solution for it?
I am using iReport 3.7 professional.
Kindly help.
Thanks
It depends on where you have kept the sub reports in your page and proper alignment.
Also please check that there should be a query which returns some values in your main report and as well as in your sub reports.
I am having an issue exporting Crystal Reports into an excel file.
I tried both options of exporting the Excel data AND exporting as an excel file. When i export my Crystal Report as an excel file, i cannot sort any of the fields in my excel file.
When i export the report as just the excel data, when i open in Excel, the headers are really messed up. The first three headers appear at the END of all of the columns--which doesn't make any sense to me.
Does anybody know how to change export options in Visual Studio? I am using Crystal Reports on Visual Studio and have no idea how to change any of these options.
It sounds like your report has not been laid out in an optimal way for Excel export, and it's not Visual Studio or the export options that is the problem here. Depending on your version of Crystal, some tips would be :
1) Make sure all column headers are the same width and left-most position as the data they relate to.
2) Minimize gaps between column headers, and also gaps between detail rows.
Unless you're using earlier than CR8.5, it's likely you can't sort because the export has created lots of merged cells - points 1 and 2 will mitigate this substantially. Basically, if you're exporting to Excel you want your report's data to be laid out as similar to an Excel spreadsheet as possible.
