Which two items can the opposite edge Crosstab in a report?

Question

Options

• AThe value of a member
• BA selected measure
• CMember caption
• DNode member
• ECrosstab intersection

• A
  7% (3)
• B
  12% (5)
• C
  79% (33)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

In IBM Cognos crosstab reports, the opposite edge feature allows repositioning of a Member Caption (C) - the display label for a dimension member - and a Crosstab Intersection (E) - the cell where row and column edges meet - to the opposing axis of the crosstab. These two represent the structural and labeling elements that define crosstab layout and can be meaningfully repositioned across edges.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• (A) The value of a member - member values drive data aggregation; they aren't repositionable edge items.
• (B) A selected measure - measures populate intersection cells, not edges; they don't function as opposite-edge objects.
• (D) Node member - this refers to a hierarchy node, not a valid opposite-edge element in Cognos crosstab configuration.

Memory tip: Think "C for Caption, E for Edge-crossing" - the two things a crosstab edge cares about are what to label it (Caption) and where values converge (Intersection). If an option sounds like raw data or a selection filter, it belongs inside the crosstab, not on its edge.
