Advanced Graphs with UpFront

[globularbob]

Hi. I have been asked to create some advanced graphs (more than one axis, more that 16 colors, etc). . .Can anyone recommend a product that will work with Upfront? I know that Impromptu is limited and it appears that Power Play is as well. . .anyone have any luck with Visualizer or 4Thought? Are there any other good options?

Unfortunately, Cognos does not have the ability to do the advanced graphing that you would find in Excel or other add-in package for Microsoft software. As far as reporting tools go, you should explore Crystal Reports as it has more robust graphing capability, but overall better flexibility when it comes to presenting the data beyond the needs of a simple list report.

If you already bought Cognos Impromptu and want to explore graphing, I hope you saved your receipt.
