I have someone interested in developing dynamic TM1-spreadsheets using action buttons-TM1 TI processes that would work as macros within a spreadsheet.
I was curious if someone could answer the following:
1. Performance Factors
2. Things to consider\possible problems when using
and point me to a good resource to address:
1. How to set up
2. Formatting
3. Creating views with them.
Thank you

Re: Action Buttons General Questions
I think you may be talking about two different things here (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).
TM1 action buttons do very limited things - run a TI process/navigate to a worksheet. But they also work in TM1Web.
Excel buttons (and the rest of MS' Excel UI stuff) do all sorts of good things, but need VBA to run. If you know VBA then you can build a very powerful and friendly frontend. It's pretty fast too, depending on how much data you're pulling from TM1. But since there is no VBA environment in TM1Web, it won't work there.
