Hello,

What excatly do you mean by "cell Date type"? There are only 3 cell "types" simple, string or Consolidated.

It may be the case that your concept of Date type may be misleading, because it is quite possible to have a picklist in a cell inside Contributor/AppWeb.

Hi Trevor,

I have dimension with Date Format type

Ah ok, you mean the formatting of the attribute, got ya.

As for the picklist, as long as you have a seperate attribute with the syntax of a picklist, such as "staticb:c" then it should appear in the cell as such.

What is your syntax for the picklist?

Thanks

I don't have picklist syntax You can see it in the last image. I get a drop-down calendar in Performance Modeler by default

That drop-down calendar feature only works in Performance Modeler. Once you access your cube with regular TM1 then it doesn't exist.

I could not see the images in your post but now I understand what you mean.

It all makes sense now, thanks.
