Hi

I am learning TM1 and the concepts of feeders

i have a requirement like my string element of the cube is fed by an attribute of another element of different dimension

['Group']=S:IF(ATTRS('Product',!Product,'Product')@='New',
ATTRS('group',!group,'Description'),Continue);


Here the ['Group'] is an element present in Accounts dimension and i have another dimension called group

Also i am using suppress zero concept in my cube view, so without feed strings, they are not displayed

I am confused to write feeders for this code

So could anyone help me to write feeders for this rules

Regards
Guru

Are you aware of the new Cognos Proven Practice "IBM Cognos TM1 Feeders" released 06/08/2012 ?

Summary:
One of the more advanced concepts in the development of IBM Cognos TM1 cubes is the proper implementation of FEEDERS within TM1 rules. This document describes FEEDERS and how to use them effectively for improved performance when building IBM Cognos TM1 cubes.

Hi !

In your case, maybe you can find a "logical" indicator to feed your element (turnover, price, or a technical indicator "feed" loaded by a process...) ?
Technically, you can feed from the elementattribute cube, but it's not performant (overfeed).
