Re: Feeding a ConsolidatedMax rule

Interesting idea but would raise the question of; If you know which of the elements is going to be calculated as part of the consolidated calculation then why use ConsolidatedMax at all? You could just say one is equal the other (or if there are no other measures just weight only that element.) It ...

Feeding a ConsolidatedMax rule

Consider a measure where N-cells are being rule-calculated. Also assume that @ C-level I have one of the following functions: ConsolidatedMax, ConsolidatedMin, ConsolidatedAvg, ConsolidatedCount. To get the ConsolidatedAvg or ConsolidatedCount functions to calculate correctly, ALL the N-level cells ...

Re: TM1 rule-Consolidation and N level

Assuming your cube has 4 dims dim1, dim2, dim3, dim4 and the measures dim has elements: Kgs, metres, GroupAverage And assuming you want to average on a consolidated element 'Total of dim3' on dim3, your rule would look like this. your Clevels rules should be fine, and your N level rule would go like...

Re: fastest way to load data into tm1 cube

The loading time for a cube usually depends more on the "write to cube" speed than the "read from source" speed. One quick way to identify the cause of the delay is to create a dummy cube with the same dimensions as the regular cube to which you load. The dummy cube shouldnt have...

Re: How to bring the total of elements in to other cube?

I disagree on the concept of always taking one approach over the other. Yup. :) I was not suggesting the TI process approach as a 'one size fits all' or that I was stating gospel truth. I put the "my belief" disclaimer up front. In the specific example DJ gave, the requirement was a simpl...

Re: Process error "Cannot get Handle for Cube"? CE 10.2

My rule of thumb: any TI process that offers functionality that did not naturally exist in Architect in 9.5.x, should not be tried in Architect. There's a lot that PM can do that doesnt gel back well with Architect. One of those is the TI process created when you set up a link as TI than as a rule. ...

Re: TM1 - Viable Solution Approach?

A. TM1 is a viable choice: It is not the PERFECT solution for storing property info: but it's definitely not the worst either. B. Identifying what goes into dim, what goes into attr, and what becomes a measure will be crucial. As Alan rightly points out, you will need to think about the reports the ...

Re: How to bring the total of elements in to other cube?

As Declan very kindly pointed out, you CAN do this purely using rules only by adding a cube which has the extra dim. From having tried both approaches, I am firmly of the belief that the effort involved in writing the rules and feeders, especially if you want to go from a source cube with Dims, 1, 2...

Re: Feeding one cube with data from multiple source cubes

Dev, the way rules in TM1 work is this... Going down a rule file, once a rule is found that applies to a cell (or area or slice), no other rule will apply to that same cell (area or slice). If your rules in cube 3 are like this: [] = N: DB ( Cube2, !dim1, !dim2, !dim3, !msr ); [] = N: DB ( Cube1, !d...

Tom's code snippet should do the trick.

Re: Difference in writing feeders

beek, Wim Gielis was suggesting that you re-do the structure of your measures dimension so that it looks somewhat like this D |- E |- A |- B |- C Assuming you give each child element a weight of 1, this structure takes care of the calculations without the requirement for feeding. If you have simple ...

Re: Dynamic subset in TM1

Seems to me that static subsets should do the job?

Open subset editor, select the elements you want ( 1,2,4,6,8,10), remove other elements, and save the subset as A.
Rinse and repeat for subset B.

Why would you need "dynamic" subsets for this?
