TM1- Architect/Server Explorer Number formatting

[JayM]

Hi,

I am new to TM1 and having difficulty solving number formatting problem.

I have four dimensions in my cube and one of those dimension is Measures. This dimension contains Facts/Actuals, values that are coming from database.

I would like to change the number format from 1234.00 to 1,234.

I tried using Server Explorer --> Edit Element Attributes.. but when I see it in cube viewer, I don't see my change. I can change the formatting using cube viewer though but I would like to change it in Server Explorer.

Am I doing it correctly? Please help me if anyone has any knowledge.

Regards.

When TM1 displays data in a view, TM1 determines the format by order of precedence, as follows:

Steps
Format attributes applied to the column elements.

Format attributes applied to row elements.

Format attributes applied to title elements.

Formatting applied directly in the Cube Viewer or In-Spreadsheet Browser.

So if you populated the Format attribute for your Measures dimension, then you need to place this dimension in columns. Otherwise use the Format attribute of the dimension that is used on columns.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I already have them in Columns. I still cant see them in formatted in cube viewer. But if you can, could you please explain your steps in some more detail in case if I am missing anything.

Regards.

Do you have formatting set on another dimension? The formatting you have added may be over written in that case.

No I have not set formatting on any other dimensions.
