Create array of values in Cognos - cognos

Is there a way to create an array of values for a given field in Cognos Report Studio?
Say one expense has 5 attendees. If I bring in fields expense & attendees, this will create 5 rows since the granularity is forced down to the attendee level rather the expense level.
Can I force this back into one row where the attendee column is a comma separated value or array of some sorts?
Extract:
+---------+----------+-----------+------------+
| Expense | Employee | Entry Key | Attendee |
+---------+----------+-----------+------------+
| Meal | Iron Man | 1 | Thor |
+---------+----------+-----------+------------+
| Meal | Iron Man | 1 | Hulk |
+---------+----------+-----------+------------+
| Meal | Iron Man | 1 | Spider Man |
+---------+----------+-----------+------------+
| Meal | Iron Man | 1 | Star Lord |
+---------+----------+-----------+------------+
| Meal | Iron Man | 1 | Thanos |
+---------+----------+-----------+------------+
Desired Extract:
+---------+----------+-----------+-------------------------------------------+
| Expense | Employee | Entry Key | Attendee |
+---------+----------+-----------+-------------------------------------------+
| Meal | Iron Man | 1 | Thor, Hulk, Spider Man, Star Lord, Thanos |
+---------+----------+-----------+-------------------------------------------+
limited to calculated fields/equations Assuming this will take a subquery and then joining back to a full query using entry key. Not sure if this is possible in calculated fields

Use a repeater table simple query structure. This will create a comma for each value (before or after) and make it impossible to omit the comma either before the first value or after the last value.
Here's a sample report:
You didn't say what version of Cognos. This is for 11.0.13. You may need to update the version number and style version in the first line to match your environment.

cognos list in a table by section how do I stop data break across page

enter image description hereCognos Report 11, I have a list inside of a table. The list is sectioned by two data items. How do I prevent the list to break across the page.
I want it to break the page when it finds the end of the page and the current section.

List inside of a Table
I think you have placed items in your page header and page footer that belong in the section header and section footer.
Here is a report spec that demonstrates this.
You didn't specify which version of Cognos you are using. You may need to fiddle with the version numbers on the first line of this to make it work in your system.

Information repeating on subsequent pages

Using IBM Cognos Analytics 11.1.7IF8
I am developing a report that should have multiple lists of information on the report page, separated by category headers. The problem is that "page" will likely span multiple, physical pages on a printed document. The header for group one shows on every page. (I suspect that subsequent groups -- like 2 of 3 -- would also appear inappropriately on later pages.)
The lists in my report are not the same, so I can't have a single list with a group (which would, otherwise, solve this problem). I have developed this using blocks to layout the page.
How can I keep stuff from repeating where it should not?
I have developed a report using the samples to demonstrate the problem and provide starting code for anyone who may work on this. This is a very simple example. When using this, please realize that the queries in my actual report are not compatible. They can't be mashed into a single query.
StackOverflow requires me to post the code here, so...

Also, here is a screen capture showing the problem.
IBM Support helped with this one. There is a known behaviour (I say issue) with the way blocks work on the page. The solution doesn't use blocks.
With the list selected go to ... | Headers & footers | List headers & footers.
Check List page header.
Alternative: If you want the header to show only the first time (not every page) use Overall header.
"Unlock" the report.
Drag the items from the block(s) to the header.
Delete the block(s).
Format the list header (I assume you don't want a border around it.)
You may need to create singletons to get the page data onto the list. In my case, I didn't.
Here's what my sample report looks like after these steps:

Cognos 11 - One column List wrap

I have a report that has one column list report that is sectioned off based on a data item. What i would like to do is have that one column continue horizontally instead of vertically so it fits on one page. I tried using repeater and repeater table but it did not give the desired results. I attached an image of what it looks like and what i would want it to look like to better illustrate what i want to do. I wanted to avoid using multiple queries and let the report do much of the heavy listing because new headers could get added/removed as well as the names underneath could change so i wanted to prevent manual intervention as much as possible.
A double repeater table with a master detail relationship will most likely be the way to go.

mahapps.metro using icons styles with datatrigger

I want to data trigger on an Icon but i can not find out how to do this :( I tried this code baut is does not work can any one help pleaaaase ?
<Style x:Key="ConnectionIcon" TargetType="{x:Type Rectangle}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=ConnectionStatus}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Resources">
<Setter.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="Green" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Fill">
<Setter.Value>
<VisualBrush Stretch="Fill" Visual="{StaticResource appbar_disconnect}" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=ConnectionStatus}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Resources">
<Setter.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="Red" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Fill">
<Setter.Value>
<VisualBrush Stretch="Fill" Visual="{StaticResource appbar_connect}" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Here is a little trick for this by using the OpacityMask and simple change the Fill property of the Rectangle.
<Style x:Key="ConnectionIcon"
TargetType="{x:Type Rectangle}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=ConnectionStatus}"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Fill"
Value="Green" />
<Setter Property="OpacityMask">
<Setter.Value>
<VisualBrush Stretch="Fill"
Visual="{StaticResource appbar_disconnect}" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=ConnectionStatus}"
Value="False">
<Setter Property="Fill"
Value="Red" />
<Setter Property="OpacityMask">
<Setter.Value>
<VisualBrush Stretch="Fill"
Visual="{StaticResource appbar_connect}" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Hope this helps.

Adding a Combobox column in infragistics XamDataGrid

How can I add a WPF ComboBox Column to Infragistics XamDataGrid?
Try this example
<dataPresenter:XamDataGrid x:Name="StudentDataGrid" DataSource="{Binding StudentList}">
<dataPresenter:XamDataGrid.FieldLayoutSettings>
<dataPresenter:FieldLayoutSettings AutoGenerateFields="False" AutoFitMode="Always" AddNewRecordLocation="OnTopFixed" AllowAddNew="True" AllowDelete="True"/>
</dataPresenter:XamDataGrid.FieldLayoutSettings>
<dataPresenter:XamDataGrid.FieldLayouts>
<dataPresenter:FieldLayout>
<dataPresenter:Field Name="Name" Label="Student Name"/>
<dataPresenter:Field Width="Auto" Name="Department" Label="Dept">
<dataPresenter:Field.Settings>
<dataPresenter:FieldSettings>
<dataPresenter:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:XamComboEditor}">
<Setter Property="ItemsSource" Value="{Binding DataPresenter.DataContext.DepartmentList}" />
<Setter Property="IsEditable" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Text" Value="-Select-" />
<Setter Property="DisplayMemberPath" Value="DeptName" />
<Setter Property="ValuePath" Value="DeptName" />
</Style>
</dataPresenter:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
</dataPresenter:FieldSettings>
</dataPresenter:Field.Settings>
</dataPresenter:Field>
<dataPresenter:Field Name="Count" Label="Count"/>
</dataPresenter:FieldLayout>
</dataPresenter:XamDataGrid.FieldLayouts>
</dataPresenter:XamDataGrid>
You can use the XamComboEditor to edit fields in the XamDataGrid:
