Expand and collapse capability for hierarchical dimensions in cognos lists in report studio

The requirement by client is the tabular data should provide the facility to expand and collapse to see the breakdown of dimension with hierarchy.
e.g. If user expands column A that contains hierchical dimension, it should expand to column B and see the bifurcation of totals as per the sub-levels.

We would want a non-Javascript solution as JS limits the interactivity

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. We appreciate your feedback.

    This is being developed as native custom control which could be included in an interactive report. Once this is complete, this will be posted on Accelerator Catalog - https://ibm.biz/acccatalog in next couple of weeks.
