Reverse engineering existing workbooks. Is there a method to document all DBRW's in a worksheet/ workbook

I'm wondering if there is any existing method / has anyone written and VBA code to basically scan a worksheet/workbook and extract a list of all DBRW's/ DBR's (Maybe other worksheet functions) and the parameters being referenced (If they are formula parameters then the values that the parameters con...

Re: MDX Order By not applying to last member in dimension

Anyway, a few things to consider: When using ORDER, ASC and BASC are for different cases where BASC breaks down any hierarchies before sorting, ASC sorts within hierarchies. I was thinking that because the MDX was returning an N level set that the rollup would not be referred to but I am wrong. BAS...

Code: Select all

This one worked! Why?

Re: Pax - Blank Subset Editor

I had problems with intermittent blank cube view and blank subset editor in PAX/PAFE which appeared with the single file version. Finally resolved with an upgrade to .81 and we were able to use the new subset editor and cube viewer (Release .79). I don't know what in there may have fixed the issue.

MDX Order By not applying to last member in dimension

I want to order the N members in my Month dimension by sorting on the 'Seq No' attribute which is a 'N' attribute. { ORDER( { TM1FILTERBYLEVEL( {TM1SUBSETALL( [Month] )} ,0)} , [}ElementAttributes_Month].[}ElementAttributes_Month].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("Seq No"), ASC) It works fine EXCE...

So I'm in a different place now and they have not yet upgraded to PA but are in the early stages of planning to move.

Re: Syntax for CellvalueN referencing a dimension with multiple hierarchies?

You can "intersect" multiple hierarchies of the same dimension using this syntax: CellGetN( 'cubeName', 'dim1Elm', 'dim2Elm', ( 'dim3Name:hier1Name:hier1Elm', 'dim3Name:hier2Name:hier2Elm', ... ), dim4Elm, ... ); BTW, it can be all dynamic using variables, you can even "omit" so...

Syntax for CellvalueN referencing a dimension with multiple hierarchies?

So I have a need to write C level rules which apply across multiple hierarchies of a dimension. Cubewise have this valuable information on using DB and multiple hierarchies (I cannot see an equivalent in IBM documentation?) https://cubewise.com/blog/how-to-reference-intersections-of-hierarchies-in-r...

This does not sound right - We have noticed massive performance degradation when enabling Unicode on some queries/sources.

Re: PA 2.0.9.14 and changed behaviour with ODBC!

Thanks for raising JohnO. Have IBM come back with detail on the required config changes to make this happen? I assume "use Unicode" must be checked on the face of the TI and if opening the ODBC connection manually using ODBCOpen you need to use ODBCOpenEx instead? Cheers, Steve Yes they a...

This is an FYI only. I installed 2.0.9.14 (Previously 2.0.9.11) in our dev instance and tried to open an existing ODBC sourced TI but it could not open the connection. "unable to open connection to database" What IBM have come back with is: "Based on the discussion from our dev team -...

Re: Load time - ODBC vs text file

It's a pretty simple load TI. There is some necessary conditional logic and we write each value to 2 places in the one cube, in a few cases more than 2. Other than that it's not complex so no obvious gains to be had.

We have the same problem. It came about with the new add-in (ie; SIngle file add-in) which we only recently upgraded to. No issues before that.
