    Function that will increment a number by 1 each time

    i need it to perform like a "sequence" in Oracle at least conceptually. I am wanting some function that increments each row by 1 (almost acting like a primary key for that row).

    How can I find patterns in Cognos

    I am wanting to find out if we have 5 skus (1,2,3,4,5) which skus people buy together. Any thoughts on that? Crosstab would be best and lays the report out correctly but it will only make a connection b/t the same skus. sku 12345 1 2 3 4 5 in this example, it will show the number of...

    summing discrete values(?)

    if i have 4 of a sku on order but the report is repeating that sku 4 times (b/c of the way the data is set up) is there a way to only have it give me a sum of 4 instead of 16? I can't use MAX or MIN b/c there will be times when I will need it to sum all the values if they are different.

    Section Expert (Reset Page After) not working like I want

    sorry, it is called "new page before". It does create a new page but there is a lot of "white space" in the output (which makes the report not look right). It only does this if the detail is more than one page for that group. if the detail for that group is <= 1 page then it formats it perfectly.

    Section Expert (Reset Page After) not working like I want

    If Group 2 has multiple pages of data in it then Group 1 will not reset properly. I have a large gap (white space) in the report output if there are multiple pages to that section. If there is only 1 page in that section then it resets fine. any thoughts on how to fix this?

    finding orders who ordered in odd/even numbers

    How would I write a formula to show me a count of orders that were ordered in our minimum or multiples of the minimum? For example, if we require you to order a minimum of 2 of a Frame are our customers ordering 2,4,6,8 or are they ordering 2,3,4,5(b/c they only have to order the minimum and...
