Cognos 10 Group Subtotal not showing - cognos-10

I have a list that shows columns from a query that is the result of a join (EmpJobs).
The list is grouped by Division and Department columns. When I highlight the Emp ID column and click Data -> Summarize -> Count in the toolbar, summary rows show up for Division and Overall, but I'm not getting a subtotal row for Department:
However, when I have a list that shows columns from a query that is NOT the result of a join (the Employees Query above), I get the subtotal rows on Department like I expect:
Our system was recently switched from Cognos 8 to Cognos 10. I didn't run into this issue in version 8, so did something change in version 10? Conceptually? A new setting somewhere?
Note: Not sure if this applies, but I found this post, which describes a different issue, but he says that his problem happens to the result of a join, which is the case in my problem. I played with the "Auto Group and Summarize" settings as he did, but without success.
Note 2: I think my question is the same as (Cognos report studio group for subtotals), but I don't think there was enough detail in the question to get the answer that the poster was looking for (no responses are marked as the answer). I follow the steps given in the one response, and I am still missing my subtotal.

I've seen this happen before in Cognos 10. I believe it's a bug. However, I don't know if it's 10 specific as it's been years since I've worked with 8. There is a workaround available.
Access the 'List Headers & Footers' dialog box. This can be done in two ways:
Click on the 'Headers & Footers' button in the toolbar and select 'List Headers & Footers'
Select Headers & Footers>List Headers & Footers... from the Structure menu
This will bring up the following dialog box:
Tick the box next to 'Department (footer)' highlighted above and click OK.
You should now have a Department summary row with empty cells underneath your columns.
Unlock the report and drag over your summary item from your query, Count(Emp ID), and put it in the empty cell at the intersection of the new Department footer and the Employee ID column.

Spotfire: Count number of marked rows, with IronPython, without iterating

I would like to know if there is a way to count the number of marked rows of a table in Spotfire, without iterating over all rows of this table, using IronPython.
I am asking this question because this number of marked rows is already available in the little toolbar at the bottom of the software's window. I search on the Internet and in the Spotfire API but I didn't found anything.
Below you will find an image of this toolbar:
Just found out how to do this:
# Get the number of marked rows
nbMarkedRows = Document.ActiveMarkingSelectionReference.GetSelection(TABLE).IncludedRowCount
with TABLE a reference to your table, as a data table parameter of your script for example.

Issue with Finder in Drupal 7

So, I am using Drupal 7 and I'm having an issue with the Finder module.
I have a view set up with a list of a specific content type. In my Finder I have 2 select lists set up to filter the view, both with a blank option appended to the beginning, and also a text box.
When I view the page and select a value from either of the select lists the page works fine. The problem pops up when I leave both select lists blank and the text field empty. Instead of returning all results, which is the behavior I want, it return no results.
In the Finder module for my select lists I have 1 of the "Choices" set to Used Values and I have the field set to the correct content type I want to filter on. The 2nd Select List is set to "Available Options." Both Select Lists have the "Empty Choice" setting set to "empty."
If there is any other information I can provide, let me know.
This has been a very difficult bug to Google and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Answered.....Sort of.
The problem turns out to be version of WebForm module that is being used. We were using version 7.x-4.3, which is the latest, but rolled back to version 7.x-4.1 and the issue resolved itself.
It seems odd to me that a product that is used by hundreds of thousands of people would let a bug this annoying slip by.

Dynamics AX MorphX WMSPickingList Report

I am trying to modify the WMSPickingList_OrderPick Report in Dynamics AX 2009.
I am attempting to move the InventDim group onto the same line as the actual Item Line, as it currently prints underneath.
I have tried manually moving the fields, in this case no data appears.
I have tried switching the parameters so that the item dimensions appear after or a part of the item number, in this case it still appears below.
I have also attemped to simply pick up the values in the Fetch statement and pass them to variables, I can see the values being picked up but on returning them in a display method no data appears?
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Go to Accounts receivables > Setups > Forms > Forms Setup
In the "General" tab > "Print item dimensions" group, Select the "Print item dimensions" as "After item number"
I am assuming it is currently set to "Under item line"
The problem with WMSPickingList_OrderPick report is the width of the design, the design doesnt have enough width to print the Inventory Dimensions, they dont appear when u put them in the same line because the columns overlap.
However, one very clean solution can be to use a Display method as datasource for the Item ID (i.e item number) and in that display method just append the dimension.

How to enable Add Total option in Tablix

I had a problem of couting sum of grouped rows in a tablix. I posted it on stackoverflow. There I found the detailed answer by a user. But the problem is now, he is asking me to add "Add Total" in one cell of my tablix. Whereas I find no option of adding Add Total on every cell. In fact it is disabled on each cell except the cell that is coming under a group.
The person is using Italian IDE (Visual Studio) whereas my IDE is in english. Is there any difference between these two?
Please see the detailed post and reply if there is any solution.
I'll be thankful.
SSRS Sum in table group
I had the same problem. I think the problem is if the field is not recognised as a numeric, then 'Add Total' field will be disabled. So to overcome this problem, first I inserted a row at the bottom of the table and then I converted the field into double in the expression as follows
=SUM(cdbl(Fields!GROSS_MARGIN.Value))
After running the report, I was able to see expected total.
I found the answer
here
This is an alternate solution to my problem.
Make column properties for which u want totals as double or decimal in dataset.
Refresh report data in report designer. U will be able to see add total as enabled. Right click on column for which u want to add total and select Add Total.
no there is no differnce between it

salesforce.com matrix reports - more than 2 columns on row headings

I need to create a donor summary report that provides total donations by donor by year.
I need to provide
name address email yr1total yr2total etc...
It looks like salesforce only allows two columns in row headings and two columns in column headings. Is there a way to work around this
Or, is there a way to use the tabular report to do the same?
TIA
If donations is a single field on the donor's record, it seems like what you're looking to do is attempt to display two columns for the same data within a report. The best way to do this (well, outside of creating a master-detail relationship with a new custom object named "Donations") would to have formula fields for each of the donation years, and calculate the donation sums in each of them. That is, as long as you have a way of calculating the year of the donation.
I believe to get the best answer, more information is needed.
Something like this? This will work if your donation is a separate object that's linked to Account (I've used Tasks & Events linked to Accounts in my example).
Create a report in "Matrix format".
Drop Account Name on the left pane, Donation's Date on the columns.
Columns will default to days. Click the dropdown in the place where I have "Created Date" and select summarizing by year (of course fine-tune to whatever you need).
Check date ranges / filter criteria etc obviously if you don't see all data.
Click Show -> Hide details.
Drop your "Donation Amount" or similar field into place where "Record Count" is displayed. Use "Sum".
Optionally deselect Show -> Record Count.
Now you're mentioning that there are only 2 columns so you probably already tried this. Well, common trick is to cheat by using a formula field that would hold your data (separated by comma maybe?). Tabular report would require you to create some helper fields (1 per year) on Account and do some kind of rollup summaries, messy.
If it's for a dashboard you could play with summary report (it can have more groups than 2) and pick chart type table on the dashboard...
