Need to know essentials for Planning Analytics
Our colleagues from Cubewise CODE have done some great work producing not just 1 but 3, “cheat sheets” which are super densely packed with knowledge. Each sheet is separately targeted at End Users, Developers or Administrators. The sheets have some handy colour-coding so you can easily distinguish what should be basic knowledge, advanced knowledge, or “extra reading”…

How to reference intersections of hierarchies in rules
This is a follow on from the previous article on working with hierarchies in rules. It will deal with how to address the intersection of two (or more) hierarchies in the right-hand side of a rule statement and the left-hand side of a feeder statement. Note this is accurate as at version 2.0.6.71 Intersections of hierarchies…

Basically, this method can be summarized ordering dimensions “small to large, then sparse to dense.” However, I’m yet to find any reference explaining what is being optimized. This paper is aimed at addressing exactly this question:…

An unintended benefit of hierarchies
The Leaves hierarchy When an alternate hierarchy is added to a dimension in TM1 for the first time a Leaves hierarchy is also automatically created in the background. The Leaves hierarchy has some special properties as it contains only leaf elements (inserting consolidations is not possible). The maintenance task of inserting new elements into the…

How to work with hierarchies in rules
This article is a little longer than normal, but we do go into quite a bit of detail with some examples of how the hierarchy syntax works in various situations. It’s step-by-step so should be not problem for anyone with an understanding of TM1 rules to follow. All code examples have extra spacing added for…
