Question: How can I create a dynamic column name in Cognos
Answer: 1.Create a calculated column which contains the information that the header is to contain, such as "Report for year 1999" (concatenated text and date to string sub string extraction).
2.Highlight the report, and then right-click.
3.Select Properties, and then click the Headers/Footers tab.
4.Clear the Column Title Header check box. This will remove the headers from your columns.
5.Reinsert the rest of the column headers; insert text will work. For the dynamic column, from the Insert menu, click Data and select the calculated column you created and insert it into the report. |

| Create dataitem by using cast function and use that data item value for the dynamic column name by changing the source value (name under properties) for the column you need. |
