Turn off consolidated drilling?

Tm1RPTROW in PAfE has a parameter that you can use to suppress drilling on consolidated elements.

Is anyone aware of an equivalent setting (or MDX that would achieve the same result) in a standard websheet cube view, please?

Do you mean that you are using IBM PASS (Planning Analytics Spreadsheet Service AKA TM1 Web) and you have a view where you want this to be deactivated ? If yes I would go for element security.

Yes, TM1 Web (although PASS isn't a term I've come across before... has something rebranded?)

Using element security is an interesting idea, I'll have to try it out. I am trying to display the top and bottom levels of a three tier hierarchy so I would just need to make sure that hiding the middle parents didn't block access to the leaves altogether.

Planning Analytics Spreadsheet Services. Web was split off from the main installer into that way back in July 2020 in PAL 2.0.9.2: https://www.tm1forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=16128

(And yes, I'm aware that I need to get back to keeping that thread up to date.)

Whether this works using element security to block access to intermediate parents will depend on your MDX expression and version of TM1 server. In older versions security is ignored during MDX execution and applied to filter the final set of members. In more recent versions a stricter or more correct approach is used with security applied throughout the MDX execution, thus if the MDX references any members which the user doesn't have access to then the expression will fail and you would end up with a null set.
