Configuring View Extract Settings & Assigning Cube Views as TI Data Sources – Part 3
Now that the view is built, this video shows how to finalize it for use in your TI process. Learn how to apply extract settings (Skip Zeros, Skip Calcs, Skip Rule Values), assign the view as the active data source, and even repurpose the logic to create Target Views for zeroing out data. A complete…
Read MoreAutomating Subset Creation for Cube Views in TI: Leaf Elements, Filters & Conditional Rules – Part 2
In this section, we dive into building dynamic subsets for each cube dimension, including how to insert only leaf-level elements, apply conditional logic (e.g., Actuals only, or 2025 months), and keep views flexible across Version, Period, Geography, Customer, Product and Measures. A must-watch if you want cleaner, more reusable TI logic.
Read MoreHow to Use Cube Views as Data Sources in Planning Analytics TI Processes (The Right Way) – Part 1
Learn why directly using saved cube views in TurboIntegrator (TI) processes can cause issues, and how to solve it with consistent control views. In this tutorial, Tyler King explains the risks of relying on ad-hoc views and shows a smarter way to standardize your data source setup. Perfect for Planning Analytics developers looking to improve…

Automating TM1 with R Scripting Exploring Automation and Load Balancing Testing with Python and TM1 When working with complex analytics systems like TM1, one of the key challenges is efficiently automating tests and managing performance in large-scale environments. This article explores how Python and TM1 Pi, a Python library for TM1, can be leveraged to…
Read MoreUsing Formats on Multiple Dimensions in IBM Planning Analytics
Using Formats on Multiple Dimensions in Planning Analytics IBM Recommends applying formats to a single dimension, typically the last dimension in the cube which is commonly referred to as the “measures” dimension. However, there may be instances where a particular display of data requires a different set of formats. For instance, when you are trying…
Read MoreTM1 Drill through 101
TM1 Drill through 101 Optimizing TM1 Drill Through Functionality for Effective Data Exploration Drill through functionality in IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) is a powerful tool that enables users to access detailed, underlying data directly from summary views. When implemented thoughtfully, drill throughs can significantly enhance user understanding, reduce confusion, and support more effective planning…
Read MoreMember Formatting in Planning Analytics Workspace
Member Formatting in Planning Analytics Workspace Conditional formatting in MS Excel is a feature that automatically formats cells based on their values. This can include changing cell colors, borders, or font styles. IBM Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW) also offers conditional formatting capabilities, allowing you to highlight specific data points based on specific conditions (similar to how it works…
Read MoreMoving from Perspectives to PAfE
Background TM1® Perspectives is TM1-native API based, whereas Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel is REST API and MDX based. This difference affects how some of the features are implemented and overall performance. IBM Perspectives is an Excel plugin that integrates with the TM1 Server, while IBM Planning Analytics for Excel (PAfE) is a modern, Excel-based…
Read MoreUsing IF and WHILE Statements in IBM Planning Analytics TurboIntegrator Processes
Using IF and WHILE Statements in IBM Planning Analytics TurboIntegrator Processes IBM Planning Analytics provides powerful scripting capabilities within TurboIntegrator (TI) processes, allowing developers to create dynamic, flexible models. Two foundational constructs used in these scripts are the IF and WHILE statements. IF statements are primarily used for conditional execution of code, and WHILE statements…
Read MoreReferencing Values Using Hierarchies in IBM Planning Analytics
Referencing Values Using Hierarchies in IBM Planning Analytics IBM Planning Analytics enables developers to create sophisticated models by utilizing cell references in TurboIntegrator (TI) processes and rules. With the introduction of hierarchies in dimensions, developers can now leverage these references to perform targeted updates, calculations, and validations at various levels within a hierarchy. This article…
