Interview Questions

What is the difference between group and association?

In cognos 'group' is used to suppress the duplicate values. And 'associate' is used to suppress the values if it is one-one relationship.

Group - It Eliminates the Duplicate values from the report break the columns. Its having a one to many relationship.

Association-It Eliminates the Duplicate values from the report and its having one-one relationship.

Both Group & Association eliminate duplicates in a column.But we cannot use Association alone.It should have one to one relationship with grouped column.
