    I need to create a report where the user is prompted to input Quarter, Year, and First Monday of the Quarter. I need to then use those inputs to figure out dates for the report and use those dates to pull in all the data. How can I figure these out in Cognos?

    How can I limit the number of records in the entire report?

    I want to limit a report to only the top 100 records. I can only find ways to limit the records allowed per page, but I need to know how to limit the records for the entire report
