Hey every one,

I'm trying to create a pick list but I didn't success. Someone could help me by giving me a method to follow ?

Thank's a lot

What did you try? What sort of picklist are you trying to create (static, dimension based, subset based, variable upon other data input to the cube)?

As a starting point try the developer guide:

First of all thanks for your response. I'm trying to create a picklist based on subset. I have a dimension named "RUBRIQUE" which has a list of measure ("Garanty","blabla",...). I have a cube with a dimension named "MEASURE", this one has a measure named "RUBRIQUE". I would like to put in this measure the content of my dimension "RUBRIQUE"

If you had checked the developer guide link that I suggested you would have seen that you need to:

• Create a string attribute on your measures dimension called "PickList"
• In the picklist attribute against the measure "RUBRIQUE" put "Dimension:RUBRIQUE"

If you do want it based on a subset instead of the whole dimension, you should be able to elaborate on the above when viewed in combination with the developers guide.

I have already read this guide. But your suggestion dosen't work. Maybe I do a bad thing when I create a string attribute on my measure.

Is your measures dimension the last dimension in the cube? And is the element within it specified as a string element?

Also If you specify exactly what you have tried and exactly how it doesn't work you will get to the solution much quicker.

Ok !!
First of all, I created a dimension "RUBRIQUE". In this one I have create a subset wihch one contains my entire measures. After that, I have created a cube named "PickList_NRE" with 3 dimensions :
- RUBRIQUE
- CUTOMER
- PICKLIST (this one is already created in my TM1's structure and it is already used by other cube)
In this cube I would like to write a rule to specify that my dimension "RUBRIQUE" contains a list of data. I used this formalism : But all this doesn't work

You ought to not create picklist cube manually. Create it with right click - create picklist cube

Picklist cube allows you to create a picklist for a cell. If you need to create picklist for a column (for a measure), you should use elementattributes cube

Yes I want to create a pick list for a cell. Sorry if I did not express myself properly

picklist cube must be named somthing like }Picklist_CubeName
it should be created be TM1 when you right click some cube and choose "create picklist cube"

Thanks a lot, I found the solution and I'll join you on what you say, this the solution. Here's a link to the next to be blocked : http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/ctm1/ ... 23456.html
