Crosstab

Use a crosstab when you want to show the relationships between three or more columns. Crosstabs show data in rows and columns with information summarized at the intersection points.

For example, this crosstab shows the course costs for each department by organization.

Tip: A crosstab can display up to 3000 data points. If you exceed the limit, some data points and summaries are clipped at the bottom of the crosstab. To make all the summaries visible, use filters to reduce the number of data points in your crosstab.

Starting from Cognos Analytics version 11.1.4, you can drag data from the Selected sources pane and insert data in a column/row or drop the data on top of existing data to replace it.
