Dimension elements selection

Post by viswaraju »

HI,

Is multiple selection of elements in a subset of a dimension that are placed in Title area is possible in TM1 cubeview/Slice/Snapshot/Activeform.
I have tried with Roll Up option which gives conslidated value but multiple selection of elements. Why I am asking is this option is avaialable in any of the TM1 versions.
I have arranged cube view accordingly but still my users are asking me can multiple selection of elements is possible, especially in new releases that is TM1 10 version onwards.

Experts please I want confirmation whether multiple selection of elements in Dimension is possible.

TM1 9.5.2
Excel 2007

Thanking you.

You can only select a single element in a title dimension in a view. As you've said this can be a consolidation element so depending on your requirement, creating some new hierarchies might give you what you want. It sort of sounds as though the dimension in question should be on one of the axes though. Perhaps you could provide a bit more detail on what your users are trying to achieve?
