TM1 Forum

Quite puzzled with the error, encountered it on 9.5.2 FP2, FP3, CX10.1 and still testing. Thought I'd ask here while waiting for IBM support update.

Looks like that having a Chart sheet in workbook is unsupported, refreshing Excel book with any Chart sheet (without any TM1 formulas in it, for example) leads to Runtime Error 13: Type Mismatch VBA Error and subsequent "Item with specified name not found" message. Menu icon names become crippled, so I'd guess that happens while loading it.

I'm attaching a small workbook with simple chart and data list, error is easily reproduced by opening it and then connecting to any TM1 server.

Anyone seen this before or am I so lucky? Any known workarounds (except for obvious “don't use it”)?

I've encountered this sporadically too. I think the only way to work around it is to not have a chart sheet. Instead have the graph embedded in a normal worksheet.

I would guess it's got something to do with the auto-calculate macro not finding something in a chart sheet that exists in a worksheet.

Thank you, Martin.

Let's see what IBM comes back with, I can't see a “Excel Chart sheets are not supported” line anywhere in the documentation. And I got a chart-loving customer )

Just in case, it's confirmed as an APAR (don't have number yet).
