Question about While Loop

[NewtoTM1P]

Hi, I started using TM1 a few weeks ago, and I have encountered a problem related to looping.
As I would like to use the looping for the CellincrementN, but I am not sure how to apply that.

The situation is about I am selling 5 different fruits in 5 different stores, and each of the fruits is selling a different price in different stores. Therefore, it would have 25 combinations/price. And, all the information above in is excel which is the data source.

Also, I am going to sell those fruits in different regions as well, so I created a cube with the 3 dimensions (Fruits, Stores, Regions). However, the data sources do not contain information about the region, even I make up some n-level element in the region dimension. So, I am thinking about how to load that 25 combinations into a different region by using CellincrementN and the Loop. I also assumed that the price would be the same in different regions. Sorry for the bad English, and appreciate any help.

You can use the DIMSIZ function to get the number of elements in your Region dimension, assign that number to a variable and then do a loop:

Code: Select all

nSize = DIMSIZ('Server:Region');
i = 0;
WHILE (i <= nSize);
  Do something;
  i = i + 1;
END;

There is also a C-level called 'All region', do I need extra function to skip that as well? Thank you.

Code: Select all

i = 1;
WHILE( i <= DIMSIZ( 'Region' ));
  vRegion = DIMNM( 'Region', i );
  IF( DTYPE( 'Region', vRegion ) @= 'N' );
     # ...
  ENDIF;
  i = i + 1;
END;
