Example - Create
a Crosstab for an Analysis of Order Method Revenue
You are a business analyst at the Great Outdoors Company,
which sells sporting equipment. You are asked to analyze the consequences
of discontinuing the fax and mail order methods, which are expensive
to process.
First you get the items you need and insert them into a crosstab
for further analysis.
Before you can try this example, you must set up the sample packages
that come with IBM Cognos 8. For more information, see the IBM Cognos
8 Administration and Security Guide.
Steps
In the IBM Cognos Connection home page, click the Public
Folders tab.
Click the Sales and Marketing (cube) package.
Click the Analysis Studio 
link.
Analysis
Studio opens, and data from the Sales and Marketing package
appears in the source tree.
Drag Revenue from the Measures folder
to the Measure area in the crosstab.
Drag Retailers to the Columns area
in the crosstab.
Drag Order method to the Rows area
in the crosstab.
Click the save button on the toolbar.
In the Name box, type
Order Methods
Revenue
Leave the default destination folder as Public Folders,
and click OK.
You now have data to compare and analyze. Next, you can see if
revenues for these methods are growing or declining 
.
