I would like to thank my beloved wife Esraa for all the encouragement and support she has given me. I would also like to thank my mother and my family.

I would like also to thank my partner Abhishek for his great work and his valuable comments. With your work, Cognos is much more fun.

A special thanks to Packt Publishing for their efforts. I am sure that I wouldn't have been able to complete this book without their support.

Abhishek Sanghani was born in India and attended Mumbai University, where he majored in Computer Engineering. He began his career in 2004 as a Business Intelligence and Cognos Consultant, and has worked with leading IT and financial services companies since then.

He pursued Finance Management along with his work in the field of Cognos and BI, successfully progressing and winning awards and certifications year-on-year.

In his free time, he writes technical blogs and also provides training/seminars on demand.

He first authored Packt Publishing's book IBM Cognos 8 Report Studio Cookbook, which was well received worldwide. He has recently composed a video course called IBM Cognos 10 Report Studio Fundamentals, which is available on the www.packtpub.com website for download as well as online streaming.

I would like to thank Ahmed for giving a new life and avatar to my Cookbook, making it suitable for Cognos v10.x. I am sure, this new book with its new content, easy-to-understand recipes, real-life examples, and v10 sample codes, will prove very useful to Report Studio users, project managers, developers, and business analysts.

I would also like to thank the whole Packt Publishing team for all the hard work and support. On a personal note, I would also like to thank my loving wife Dolly for the encouragement and for putting up with my IT nonsense at the dinner table.
