Slices not working

Post by nmiller »

We have users trying to perform slices on different cubes, and TM1 just sits there churning. Has anyone run into this and could possibly point me in the right direction towards a solution?

We are running TM1 9.1.4.

Thanks in advance!

How many rows and columns are in the slice? Do you have the slice zero-suppressed? How high up in the hierarchy are the slices? Are there a lot of rules in the cube being sliced? All these can affect slicing performance. I recommend trimming down the number of rows to arround 100 or so to see if that helps. If it does then you can bump it up 100 at a time until you find out what the breaking point is.

In their Excel Options (Advanced => General) have you checked that the Ignore Other Applications box is NOT checked?
