Definition: Create a different type of chart like column, bar charts, lines chart etc for showing data in
single visualization and compare visualization form.

Aim: To compare two datasets related to COVID for the year 2021 downloaded from Kaggle.com

Working/Perform:

1) First go the site Kaggle.com.

2) Download data about COVID.

3) Upload the downloaded data from the Upload Data option available on the home screen of IBM
Cognos.

4) Then create a single bar chart with the available data.

5) Then compare it with a different type of chart formed with the data related to COVID.

6) Then save both the charts.

Outcomes/Learning: By analyzing the data we came to know that the average deaths were 3,497.52
and average active cases were 34001.94 in 2021.

Required Tool: IBM COGNOS

(1) Open Kaggle.com on a browser.

4
(2) Download data related to COVID from Kaggle.com

(3) Open the site of IBM Cognos.

5
(4) Upload data downloaded from Kaggle.com to use for exploration of data.

(5) Then open Exploration data and open My content and select the uploaded data.

6
(6) Selecting single visualization type to represent single data

(7) Choose a chart type (bar chart) to represent data

7
(8) Create a single data with the help of downloaded information.

(9) Now select the comparison option and select a chart type to compare the data.

8
(10) Create a comparative data.

AIM – Create a report for showing data

1. Define the Requirements: Before creating the report, you need to clearly
understand the requirements. What data needs to be included? Who are the
intended users? What format should the report be in? Answering these
questions will guide you in building an effective report.
2. Access IBM Cognos: Log in to the IBM Cognos environment using your
credentials.
3. Navigate to Report Studio: Report Studio is the component of IBM Cognos
used for creating and editing reports. Navigate to Report Studio from the IBM
Cognos portal.
4. Create a New Report: Once in Report Studio, create a new report by
selecting the appropriate
option, such as "New Report"
or "New" > "Report".

5. Choose a Data Source: Select the data source for your report. This could be a
database, data warehouse, cube, or other data repository where your required
data resides.
6. Select Data Items: Drag and drop the data items (fields) from the data source
onto the report layout. These data items will form the columns and rows of
your report.
7. Arrange Data Items: Organize the data items on the report layout according
to the desired structure. This may involve arranging them into rows, columns,
or sections.

10
11
Apply Filters and Prompts (Optional): If necessary, apply filters and prompts to refine the
data displayed in the report. Filters limit the data based on specified criteria, while prompts
allow users to select values interactively.

Add Calculations and Aggregations (Optional): Include any necessary calculations

or aggregations to perform operations on the data, such as sums, averages, or
counts.
Format the Report: Format the report to make it visually appealing and easy to
read. This may involve adjusting fonts, colors, borders, and other formatting options.
Preview and Test the Report: Preview the report to ensure that it appears as
expected. Test the report functionality, including any filters, prompts, or
calculations, to verify that it behaves correctly.
Save the Report: Once satisfied with the report, save it in the IBM Cognos
environment. Provide a descriptive name and appropriate folder location for
the report.
Distribute the Report (Optional): If the report needs to be shared with
others, determine the distribution method. This could involve scheduling the
report to run automatically and be delivered via email or making it available
for on-demand access through the IBM Cognos portal.

Aim - Creating a crosstab

Prepare Your Data Source: Ensure that you have a data source available in IBM
Cognos that contains the data you want to visualize in your crosstab.
Open IBM Cognos Dashboard: Log in to IBM Cognos Analytics and navigate to the
dashboard area.
Create a New Dashboard: If you don't have an existing dashboard, create a new one
by clicking on "New" and then selecting "Dashboard."
Add Data to Your Dashboard: Once in the dashboard editor, click on the "Add
Data" button to add your data source to the dashboard.

14
Select Crosstab Visualization: Drag and drop the crosstab visualization widget onto the
canvas of your dashboard.
Configure Crosstab: Configure your crosstab by specifying the rows, columns, and measures
you want to include. This is typically done by dragging and dropping data items from your
data source onto the appropriate areas of the crosstab configuration panel.
Apply Filters (Optional): If you want to apply any filters to your crosstab data, you can do so
by adding filter widgets to your dashboard and connecting them to the crosstab visualization.
Format Crosstab (Optional): Customize the appearance of your crosstab by adjusting
settings such as font size, color, borders, and gridlines.

15
 Preview and Test: Preview your dashboard to ensure that the crosstab is displaying the data
as expected. Test any filters or interactions to verify that they are working correctly.
Save and Publish: Once you're satisfied with your crosstab and dashboard layout, save your
changes and publish the dashboard so that it can be shared with others.
