The simple answer is "anything that you can include in a standard Excel file". The longer answer is:

* Try to make the question as specific as possible. A general question like "How do I write a rule?" is difficult to answer without copying out the whole of the user manual.

Tell me how to create templates from cubes in Cognos TM1? I know that by using Active Forms or slicing we can do it but when comes to complex cubes with more than one or two views what should be done and how to proceed after slicing?Is it possible to get values from more than one cube in a single worksheet?How to include an action button in a template?

Request you to kindly give me a clear idea on template creation and the possible steps involved under this.

Hi,

Suggest you read the TM1 User Guide and Reference Guide to have an idea how to use Excel-TM1 formula. This will help you a lot. I doubt anyone here will provide comment to your request given the nature of your question.

for creating the action button,you can get this when you run your TM1 perspective,select insert action button , you can view a button on excel sheet,select on that change the name and properties.
Action Button is used for running the TI process, and also to load data.
