Re: Anyone Know About TM1 Function RoundP

Can you be more specific about which version you are working with. Did you see my post of the other day? They have made changes in the latest release PA 2.0.9.16 (I am using IBM's PA release numbering rather than TM1 Server numbering)

2.0.9.16 and ROUNDP broken by fix

FYI to anyone moving to 2.0.9.16 and using ROUNDDP with negative parameters. We have just upgraded to 2.0.9.16 (Only to address vulnerability: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6856457) a few days ago and have found that our use of ROUNDP is no longer working. We are passing -2 and in cases whe...

Re: Mirantis mandatory for PAW

Hello guys, when installing PAW for Windows Server 2016 or 2019 IBM tells me I have to install and use Mirantis Container Runtime ( https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/planning-analytics/2.0.0?topic=local-prerequisites ).

Re: Product that creates loads of named ranges in Excel

From memory SAP Bex Analyzer (Old Excel add-in) creates many styles but I don't know about named ranges. It caused performance degradation and we had to write some standard code to clear them out for users on a regular basis.

The other option is you set up the config on one machine adding all the connections and settings you need then take a copy of the office connection folder and push that to the other users machines. The Cognos\office connection folder contains all the settings used for PAX, and can be found here C:\...

I know this is not a new topic but here I am in 2023 migrating from Perspectives to PAX (2.0.81). We don't use VBA, we don't use custom rollups or subsets within DBR's.

We are using Cognos BI only for authentication against 2.0.6 and it works fine. We are upgrading to 2.0.9.14. Any opinions on leaving Cognos BI alone and not upgrading to Cognos Analytics?

So from the Jan AMA session: DQR (They are considering renaming) timeline is that Q2 is optimistic, Q3 more likely. And they will be releasing the new hierarchy aware worksheet functions over time.

Re: PAW/PAX reports, need some advice

To add, you can have dimension MDX which refers to the contents of a cell in a cube. So this is a way of creating dynamic MDX in a PAW view - where one or more of the dimensions subsets is MDX based. But of course it depends on how complete the dimension MDX needs to be,

Also, worth mentioning that Dynamic Quick Reports are supposed to be released soon. This is much much, more flexible. Not sure on your timescales but this is supposed to be out in Q1, usual disclaimers apply. Don't stake your job / reputation on this.. Believe DQR will meet your report specificatio...
