Re: Dynamic report with multiple DBRW's per cell

Thanks. That's interesting but not the case for me.

The measures are in the column heading and the only difference between the two DBRW's is the measure. The formula is subtraction, so DBRW()-DBRW()

Dynamic report with multiple DBRW's per cell

Hopefully a very simple one. We are using 2.0.93 PAfE and 2.0.93 Spreadsheet services. I have a report in PAfE where I have DBRW() + DBRW(). The DBRW's are pointing to separate measures. In PAfE this report works fine but in TM1Web no rows are returned. If I pull it back to one DBRW it is fine in bo...

Re: VBA Code for PAFE

Hi gtonkin, As mentioned previously, I use IBM with an excel addin so I don't have access to Cognos Automation because this is provided through Microsoft I believe. So the link doesnt really help me. A bit of history might be useful. Back in 2007 (I think), Cognos acquired Applix who owned TM1. TM1...

Does the introduction of a rule to an area ever remove any existing data in that area?

Well there's more to it than the title. We are using 2.0.19. For our depreciation model we have been loading forecast depreciation from an external system. We recently changed that to TM1 calculating the forecast. Before deploying the rules I did not clear all of the existing forecast data. These ru...

This should be a simple one. The following is not returning a positive number.

Re: Ability to assign 'selector' widget element as a variable to MDX view in PAW

Very recent addition to PAW https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/planning-analytics/2.0.0?topic=2095-new-synchronization-settings-allow-customized-display-hierarchies So this supports the base cases and is much better than before (ie: nothing).

Expanding on the title. We have been using 2.0.93 for a few months. If I have a range of DBRW's then copy that range, then paste-as values directly on top of that range what should I expect to see? What is happening is that the DBRW's remain. A couple of our users are adamant that it used to past va...

Re: MDX - Filtering members against multiple string values in a reference cube

Hi John, You could do this using the Generate() function by using the 3rd parameter to concatenate the members into a string. Once we have a string we can then use INSTR() to test if the member's attribute/lookup value matches to something in the string and keep if it does. Thanks George That was a...

Re: ODBC Connections and locked / stalled threads

The only way to clear the thread is to restart the DB. It doesn't respond in Top / Admin console. I had this a couple of years back with an Oracle source. I worked with IBM support. It was not respecting the config timeout setting. Killing the odbcproxy exe will prevent restaring the tm1 service.

I have a cube with 2 dimensions, very similar to an attribute cube.

And yes this could then be represented as a t...
