Cell Type is Real

Post by telula »

Hello,
I am trying to load contract start dates into a cube and I get an error that says "Cell type is real".
The date is in the format 31/12/2009.I have tried making the variable type numeric and string.
I have also tried with the date as 40178 instead of 31/12/2009. Help!

This error means that you are attempting to load string data to a numeric cell. Either change the cell type or the data type. Remember that it is the last dimension in the cube that determines cell type.

Did you ensure that the data type of the variable was Numeric in your TI process?
