Re: The use of Feeders

If you are suppressing all C levels, why are they there? We have dimensions that are shared across different cubes, in some of these cubes consolidations are needed (and hence feeders have been added). However in other cubes that also has the shared dimension, consolidation of the value does not ma...

The use of Feeders

Hi, Would just like to check with the community on the best practice for using Feeders. As I understand it, Feeders are used to optimise cube performance. You have to be aware not to underfeed feeders to ensure that the consolidated value is correct. Over feeding can greatly affect the performance o...

Re: T.I. SubsetCreatebyMDX variable

I changed it to this,

Code: Select all

SubsetCreateByMdx('Subset_A', '{FILTER( {TM1SUBSETALL( [Cost_Comp] )}, [Cost_Comp].[Active_Costs] = "Active" )}');
and it has worked. Not sure what is different other than swapping TM1SUBSETALL with TM1SubsetBasis.

Re: Import Data into a Cube via TI process

Hi,

Are you able to post here the variable tab of your T.I. that may help people understand your T.I. a little better.

Re: ExecuteCommand()

Sorry for the delay, My goal was to get TI to find a file (a file that I would not know the name of) upload the data from said .csv file, once data had been uploaded into a cube, move said .csv file then loop the process so it looks for the next file in the source folder, uploads the next .csv file,...

Re: TM1 book and release of TM1 10

Have there been any details about TM1 10? Has IBM even mentioned the release of TM1 10 other than the planned release of the TM1 book? I'm only asking because a quick google search did not return much about TM1 10's release. It would be good to know what new features this release has to make it TM1 ...

Hi Gregor, Using the concat function just creates a new destination folder called [original destination]|[filename]. The robocopy /move also moves everything that is in the origin folder into the new folder (as the function doesn't see a source file to copy). I am also trying to get the batch file m...

The dimension in the cube has a set of hierarchy ( Rail (Group) -> Rail, x train, y train ) Rail, x train and y train are child elements of Rail (Group). T...

The reason for this is because I wish to be able to compare a number that is stored as a string to a number that is sto...

Re: TM1 Add In Tools

I think you'd be far better off leveraging Excel's calculation muscle via inbuilt worksheet functions rather than trying to iterate through a range. At the risk of stealing Paul Nielsen's thunder (though he says it in the context of SQL Server)... you should always try to "kill the cursor"...
