Data tables

Data table is a new type of data container in Cognos® Analytics reports.

Data tables are similar to lists because they also show data in rows and columns. However, unlike in lists, the data is rendered on the browser side, and not on the Cognos Analytics server side. As a result, the data in data tables is displayed very quickly.

You can group and summarize data in data table columns, expand and collapse rows, apply filters to columns, and add custom indicators instead of numbers in measure columns.

The following animation shows interactions in a data table.
