IBM Cognos 10 Report Studio Cookbook Paperback – July 31, 2013

This book had the exact example that I was looking for and paid for itself in the 1st 5 minutes

Has some great examples demonstrating the breadth of capability that can be built into a Cognos report. It certainly demonstrates how 'integrated' various analytics tools are in Report Studio.

Learning by example is fine if you have time. Unfortunately I needed a reference book, and this doesn't satisfy that.This book will show you how to do many things, and many of them very complex and intricate; but I was trying to learn Cognos and needed to be able to go to an index and find out quickly how to do something. I couldn't do that with this book.

Excelente

A good book for beginners. High level coverage of most of the areas. I expected more advanced and in-depth therefore felt that it is half cooked.

No use for complete product

I had to start working with Cognos 10 for my office work and this book has not disappointed me. It tries to cover the things in detail and in simple words along with some visuals. I felt that I missed some handy and quick tips/shortcuts which could have been easily provided but overall it serves the purpose.

No es para empezar. Se nececesita un conocimiento basico anterior. Pero es de gran ayuda. Solo funiciona con los catalogos que trae el Cognos de arranque

and I am only on page 50! Some instructions need more print screens but I still managed to find how to do it on my own. I am use to doing queries in Access so for me the way Cognos 'thinks' is quite useful. There aren't a lot of books out there for Cognos 10 so anytime I see something, I tend to buy it. Some have been a total let down as they only skim the surface and do not guide anyone to do actual reports but this one does. I do think it's worth the price.
