What are TM1 Rules Capabilities?

Post by Ashleigh W »

Hi Experts, what are TM1 Rules Capabilities? Can it create cubes, dimension, other TM1 Objects etc. like the TI Process? I believe the answer is 'No' and that TM1 Rules are used majorly to calculate real-time numbers rather than storing numbers as a static value.

Thank You

Indeed, rules are like Excel formulas, to calculate certain areas in a cube in a dynamic way (i.e. calculation on the fly with every refresh).
