Tip of the Day - Ctrl+N and MDX

Post by Steve Rowe »

In the current perspectives subset editor if you select elements and do ctrl+n and then ctrl+v you get the MDX references for the elements selected.

Can come in pretty handy.

You can thank my bad tping for this tip!

Thanks!

Indeed, we can reference elements in a dimension like that.

{[dimension].[element]}

The part in the middle is the result of ctrl-n, ctrl-v.
I have seen people using TM1SubsetAll, Hierarchize, TM1FilterByLevel, TM1FilterByPattern on the exact same element string without wildcards, just to end up with the same 1 element :shock: :D
