Re: Feeder took 20 min to save. Can we reduce it?

Hi, I am struggling to see how a TI process wouldn't be more logical than a unfed rule in the case of rates? regards, Mark Because the percentages, at whatever level in the dimensions, need to be calculated in real time ? This depends on the purpose of "Rate". If Rate is the result of a c...

Re: Table-Valued function as data source in TI

Hi, does anyone know whether it's possible to use a table-valued function in the data source of a TI? i.e. select * from tfn_Test1 ('Param1','Param2') At the moment I'm getting an SQL statement failing error I remember I saw stored procedures working, but never tried table-valued functions Thank yo...

Re: Rule set value to zero

Fed cells are fed and take up memory, regardless of whether or not there is an actual value in the cube that has been fed. I am hesitant to declare it not to be best practice as there may be situations where it is the right answer. However, in most instances I would use STET instead of assigning a z...

Yes. Maintain the dimension through an XDI spreadsheet. This will let you fine tune the order any way you want. AFAIK there is no other way to achieve what you are asking.

Re: TI create view for loading data into

Re: Deleting the Admin account

Complete lunacy as the account is protected with a long random generated password in case mode 1 is ever used. This is only true when you are using IBM's Cloud environment and you can remove the password if you want so that it is blank. I did that on our Cloud development server so that if I ever n...

Hi Tomok, I get it now and I have learned something, thanks! Do you wrap an iferror around your formula or how do you handle where a user may click on an invalid cell?

Hi Tomok, how does your formula work? I don't really get it. I would understand if you had used something like: Indirect(Address(Cell("row"),Cell("col"))) But I don't see how your formula tells you what cell you are on and then gets the value? Maren The purpose of the OFFSET for...

Re: Checkboxes for "flag" measures in TM1

I use checkboxes in TM1 sometimes to indicate to a user whenever something is turned ON or OFF but I use a font to do it. In Wingdings 2, uppercase P is a check mark. I can then use an IF statement in the form to "turn" the value in the flag field to "P" if it is on or nothing if...

As far as the TM1 server is concerned, Contributor is really nothing more than a series of special cubes and processes that all begin with }tp*.
