One of the powers of TM1 is its native ability to quickly consolidate values defined within a dimension. Cognos TM1 Rules provides an even more powerful and flexible method to compute values within a cube. In many applications, you also need to perform calculations which do not involve aggregation, such as generating cost allocations and calculating exchange rates. You can use Cognos TM1 Rules to perform such calculations.
Additionally, rules can be written to work across dimensions and access data in other cubes.
Perform multiplication of cells to calculate totals based upon business rules
Override automatic TM1 consolidations when needed
Use data in one cube to perform calculations in another cube or share data between cubes
Assign the same values to multiple cells
Each and every TM1 rule is associated with an individual cube. Rules are represented as a subordinate object of the associated cube in TM1 Server Explorer. Rules only calculate values for the cubes...
