What did you try? What sort of picklist are you trying to create (static, dimension based, subset based, variable upon other data input to the cube)?

As a starting point try the developer guide:

First of all thanks for your response. I'm trying to create a picklist based on subset. I have a dimension named "RUBRIQUE" which has a list of measure ("Garanty","blabla",...). I have a cube with a dimension named "MEASURE", this one has a measure named "RUBRIQUE". I would like to put in this measure the content of my dimension "RUBRIQUE"

If you had checked the developer guide link that I suggested you would have seen that you need to:
  • Create a string attribute on your measures dimension called "PickList"
  • In the picklist attribute against the measure "RUBRIQUE" put "Dimension:RUBRIQUE"
If you do want it based on a subset instead of the whole dimension, you should be able to elaborate on the above when viewed in combination with the developers guide.

I have already read this guide. But your suggestion dosen't work. Maybe I do a bad thing when I create a string attribute on my measure.

Is your measures dimension the last dimension in the cube? And is the element within it specified as a string element?

Also If you specify exactly what you have tried and exactly how it doesn't work you will get to the solution much quicker.

Ok !!
First of all, I created a dimension "RUBRIQUE". In this one I have create a subset wihch one contains my entire measures. After that, I have created a cube named "PickList_NRE" with 3 dimensions :
- RUBRIQUE
- CUTOMER
- PICKLIST (this one is already created in my TM1's structure and it is already used by other cube)
In this cube I would like to write a rule to specify that my dimension "RUBRIQUE" contains a list of data. I used this formalism :

Code: Select all

['RUBRIQUE'] = S:
		'subset:RUBRIQUE:Rubrique tot'
;
But all this doesn't work

You ought to not create picklist cube manually. Create it with right click - create picklist cube

Picklist cube allows you to create a picklist for a cell. If you need to create picklist for a column (for a measure), you should use elementattributes cube
