Cognos crosstab column headers are not responding to format changes

I the following crosstab report in Cognos 10: enter image description here

I would like to do two things: 1) change the date format to MM/YY/DD, and 2) write the column headers vertically.

I go to the properties of the column headers, change the writing direction, change the date format, and the report always looks like the above image. I don't understand why Cognos is ignoring the changes I make. Can anyone help?

Solution

  • It appears that Cognos does not play well with non-IE browsers. I tried the report using an IE extension in Chrome and it works. I still can't get the date format of the column headers to change though.
