IBM Cognos Controller does not support mixing weekly and monthly actualities in report generator reports

When you run reports in the report generator with weekly and monthly actualities, and periods larger than 12, then the periods do not translate correctly.

When you run the report for a weekly actuality and for a period larger than 12 (for example, 1213WE) and use a relative period reference (for example, P001) for a monthly actuality (for example, AC), then the translated period is 1301 instead of 1201.

The solution is to insert a column in the report layout in the spreadsheet. Use an if-function to use the correct data that is based on the period number.
