Re: Can you use an ATTRS within a DIMIX rules function?

All, sorry I forgot to add the ful rule that I used at the bottom of my post - here it is: []=N: IF( ELISCOMP('Project_Measures',!Project_Measures,'FY 2011')=1, IF( DIMIX('Time_Month',ATTRS('Project_Measures',!Project_Measures,'TimeMonthValue'))<DIMIX('Time_Month',DB('Original Budget',!PAAR_AFE,!T3,...

Re: Can you use an ATTRS within a DIMIX rules function?

Declanr, thanks for your post. Your suggestion of dropping the DB() worked. I thought that I was taking the "safer" approach using DB(). It was my understanding that whilst some rules require you to refer to internal elements within the DB() to work as opposed to the square brackets - this...

Can you use an ATTRS within a DIMIX rules function?

I wish to write a rule that only enables the user to enter budget data into the months that fall within the start and end date of the project. Sounds simple e...

Re: Display Flag cube - Conditional Feeder

Gregor, many thanks for your input. The rule to populate the flag was killing the performance of the cube. I have deleted the rule and followed your advice with a TI as the flag does not need to be real time. The TI works and performance is unaffected. I have also scheduled the TI to run nightly. Th...

Display Flag cube - Conditional Feeder

Hi, I have a Display Flag Cube. The intention of this cube is to feed other cubes (Budget, Costs etc) with a flag "1" so that when zero's are suppressed any row with a flag will still be visible. Then at the start of the budget process when the user enters his budget via an active form he ...

Re: Compare string with a less than sign "@<="

Tomok, thanks for the advice. Originally I thought that given I am DIMIX on a time dimesnions it should be pretty safe as future users would be unlikely to ammend the element order fo a time dimension - but you are right it would be much safer to work of a order number attribute. I will implement it...
