Cognos 11.2.2 - Adding a new currency to Cognos - cognos

could someone please point me to the right direction?
When formatting a column of a list or crosstab as a currency, I'd like to add The West African CFA franc (XOF). Right now it's not in the menu. How could I add it to the currency list?
Many thanks

IBM provides documentated instructions for adding a custom currency symbol: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.2.0?topic=settings-customizing-currency-support
At the time of this writing, there is an error in the instructions. I have notified IBM Support. The file you'll need to edit is install_location/configuration/i18n_res.xml
It looks like XOF/CFA is already in the list, although the currency symbol is shown as CFA and should probably be F.CFA.

Finding the price of a product with sub-variables and giving it as a link?

I have got a sheet.
Like This : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IZKQENWb9JOeVvjU3ioj6769PvHcRtXmo-urZZ8R3CQ/edit?usp=sharing
This list includes the products, the main features of the products and their prices according to these basic features.
What I want to do is; when they click on these essential features, they go to the price of their own feature. I don't want to do this manually one by one because there are too many products. I want to create it by writing a formula.
Anyone help this? Thank you :)

Error When Adding Custom Content Type to Sharepoint List

I am setting up a SharePoint app/list to house my business team's project proposals for the next budget year. I've created a custom content type (named CostProject) that has several columns in it that describe our cost projects.
Because we plan on using this process for years to come, I'm envisioning a structure where CostProject is the generic content type, with sub-content types for each budget year (2018 CostProject, 2019 CostProject, etc.). So I created another custom content type (named 2018 CostProject) that inherits all of the columns from CostProject.
Now I'm trying to create a list of all of these cost projects. So I added a new app (type: Custom List) and named it ITDD Cost Projects. I went into list settings >> advanced settings and checked the option to "Allow management of content types." Back on the list settings, I scrolled down to the content types section and clicked "Add from existing site content types."
This brought up a form where I could select various content types, so I selected 2018 CostProject from the available content types and clicked "Add >" then clicked "OK." After clicking OK, this is the error I get every time:
"The formula cannot refer to another column. Check the formula for
spelling mistakes or update the formula to reference only this
column."
Thinking this might have something to do with the syntax of one of my calculated columns, I went back the CostProject content type and removed all of the calculated columns (copied their formulas, etc. into a document so I can come back to them later). However I still get the same error message every time I try to add the content type to the list.
Any idea what I'm missing here? I'm pretty new to SharePoint so perhaps it's something basic--any help would be greatly appreciated!
THANK YOU!!!
So for the sake of people not reading comments. When you encounter an error which states that:
The formula cannot refer to another column. Check the formula for
spelling mistakes or update the formula to reference only this
column.
You should check your validation formulas on columns.
It may occur in different situations, but the core issue is that field cannot be added to list:
Here is reported bug when creating list from template and this is possible workaround.

How to get English month name from date in Russian Excel?

I am unable to get month name in Excel.
Neither =TEXT(...;"mmmm") not doesn't work.
I found, only Russian M's are working and giving Russian month name, despite of language settings
Latin M's give nothing.
Are there any other settings to force month name language?
UPDATE
Setting date format nationality didn't help:
Thanks for additional details. It appears to be a long standing issue with MS Office. See How to prevent Excel to use the OS regional settings for date patterns in formulas for a related issue and some partial solutions.
In particular, hardcoding using CHOOSE might be your way to go:
=CHOOSE(MONTH(B2);"Jan";"Feb";"Mar";"Apr";"May";"Jun";"Jul";"Aug";"Sep";"Oct";"Nov";"Dec")
Also see Scott Craner's comment regarding =TEXT(B2;"[$-0409]MMMM") which looks like a quick fix. But note that the MMMM has to be in your locale, so the spreadsheet might not be portable. The CHOOSE option would be better in this case.
I found a way to fix this problem. First you need to go to Excel options and click "Advanced". After that, you need to scroll down to the bottom of this page and edit the "Edit Custom Lists..." button located in the "General" tab. Image for first step
Finally, you should add your own lists by clicking NEW LIST.

Here are some screenshots
It looks like you are attempting some form of cascading drop down fields. These are supported in 2010 Enterprise edition but via the use of info path forms. This requires no code just some GUI based configuration. Unfortunately it's a little more in depth than me explaining it on here so I will provide you to a link for a blog.
Cascading drop down info path forms
Alternatively if you google around cascading drop downs there are plenty of articles involving other methods.

Filemaker pro: how to make a report of a specific table field?

I am a trainee at ministry of education where we fix schools' computers, I've created a table for this purpose using filemaker pro with the fields: school name, the problem, the date, who fixed it ...etc.
I would like to generate a report of a particular field, e.g: a report that will display how many times this particular school has brought its devices to get fixed. Or how many times this particular employee has fixed a device. and print the report .
thank you in advance.
A good place to start is to choose the command to create a new layout (View - Layout mode, then Layout - New Layout/Report), select the Report type and press Next. This will provide a wizard that asks a few questions about the report and even create a script to run the report.
