    Ability to paste '-' characters as 0.

    0 values formatted as a '-' in Excel cannot be pasted into Planning Analytics. This causes a spreading error. Users often format 0 values as a '-'. It would be helpful if Planning Analytics could interpret '-' as a 0 on paste.

    Add a Trace Security in order to understand how a right is evaluated by the engine

    As for business rules, PAL/TM1, security could be a mix of data and/or rules on the system security objects. For business rules, we can use the "trace calculations" which is really a great feature. For security, we can only use... our brain so a "...

    Proposal for an Official CPLEX R Package for Seamless RStudio Integration

    I’d like to suggest that IBM develop and maintain an official R package for the CPLEX solver. Today, R users must rely on a handful of hard-to-install third-party libraries, whereas competitors like Gurobi ship a polished “gurobi” package that ins...
