Drill Through resets view in Performance Modeler from Excel

Hi there, Just wondering if anyone else has had an issue with drill through from an Excel view in Performance Modeler? I suspect a bug! System is Cognos Express 10.2 FP1. Excel 2007. The drill through works perfectly well, in both Architect or Excel, but when launched from an Excel view in Performan...

Re: overriding Consolidation with Max value instead of sum

Would there not need to be an identification of level for Product in this? This code may produce a value at 'All Products' of 2000. With the requirement of All products to sum the components, this might not produce the right result at the top level, but will fix the issue at the initial consolidatio...

Re: calculated VERSUS stored & frozen historic data

Interesting set of comments! Just on one point - one concern though... how to you deal with hierarchy changes in for instance the costcenter dimension? If it's policy to restate historical data to align with the new / current org structure would mean historic data would have to be re-calc'ed and re-...

Re: Cell security and process in cognos TM1

Hi ChauBSD, Thanks for the extra detail. There is no way that you can submit 2014 in this application and leave 2015 open. Submission on a node (such as Binh Durong) will close ALL fields for this node. You could create a separate cube for 2015, which has the same structure as the one used in the ex...

Re: Cell security and process in cognos TM1

Hi ChauBSD, Just to help clarify your issue - this is in Contributor, and the issue is with the submission of a node in an approval hierarchy? You would like users to be able to submit one year, but not the following one, as that needs to be open for future input? My response below is based on that ...

Re: Drop Down Calendar Selection

What I will do is modify the subset used for that picklist to pick up the alias, including the day with the date. However, if new development...

Re: Published TM1 cube through Cognos BI. Question on Null V

Sounds like a zero suppression override. If you had all data points appearing this would kill your speed gains, so maybe a mapping to flag those lines of data that require a specified zero, using a flag in the measure dimension ( in the example, 1 = Active): For example: Sales Rep / Product / Month ...

Hi there, Wondering if anyone can help me finish off an idea to select a date from a drop down calendar in a cube view, either through Cube View or from a Performance Modeler application?

Another follow up question - you are using websheets - are they based on Active Forms?

Can you use cube views to achieve the same outcome?

Hi tgaluskapatterson

Have you checked that the subset used as the approval hierarchy is fully expanded at the level you wish to use?

I have found this to be an issue also.
