Title: Details report suggestion
Post by: pooja on 01 Apr 2014 12:24:06 PM
Hi all,

We have one Income Statement Details report needs to be developed. This includes Acoount, Account no, sub-aacounts,us currenct & local currency. Currently we have a TM1 cube for this already built. While creating small part of report using cube it is taking so so long time (7/8 mins).
So my question is- Do we need to use relational model for any details report instead of dimensional  (cube)?

Much appreciate your  suggestion on this.

Pooja,

Although there may be exceptions, reports showing details are usually better served by a relational package - where summarised measures are usually better supported by a cube (TM1 or PewerCube).

If you built the TM1 cube from a relational package, then you can consider querying the relational package directly for the detailed report.
