Hi All,

We are planning to migrate our TM1 9.5.2 with Excel 2010 to TM1 10.2 with Excel 2010 and excel 2013.

Can you please share the experiences of compatibility of TM1 10.2 with Excel 2010 and excel 2013.

It would be very helpful to us if you share known issues faced/Precautions need to take while upgrading(TM1 model,Active Reports) to TM1 10.2.

What I can tell is that TM 10.1 works well with Excel 2010 and 2013.

With the current list of known issues, especially with 10.2 TM1 Web have you discussed moving to 10.1 with a long term path to 10.2? Instead of checking out 10.2 with Excel, you may want to consider peoples experience with 10.2 full stop. Personally I have experienced several issues when trying to install it.

Hi,

We are looking for TM1 10.2 known issues and precautions like Fixpacks if any for EXCEL 2010 and EXCEL 2013.

Currently we are using TM1 9.5.2 and Excel 2010, so we are planning to upgrade TM1 9.5.2 to TM1 10.2 with Excel 2010.
After some time, we are planning to upgrade Office suit to 2013.

Any experiences and precautions really helpful to us.

I think Jim gave you the key one; "don't do it, especially if you rely on Web". They'll doubtless get the Web issues figured out in due course but personally I think that 10.2 is a version that I'll avoid, waiting instead for the next one down the line when some of those fixes have been done.

If you do a search on the forum you'll find a range of issues relating to 10.2, but the issues that other people have had to date won't necessarily be the ones that you'll encounter with your own model.

If you're determined to go down that path, my recommendation would be to set up a test environment and get a bunch of power users to really pound it. It's the only way you'll find all (most of) of the issues that you'll encounter.
