IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Post ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea

Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests

The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The product management team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

MDX able to recognise Custom Consolidation

Custom Consolidation (aka Rollup, User-Defined Consolidation) is a relatively common practice for business analyst to do ad hoc analysis, detail of how to create custom consolidation can refer to this documentation:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/planning-analytics/2.0.0?topic=subset-creating-user-defined-consolidations-fly#CreatingUser-DefinedConsolidationsontheFly_ND0A63


However, this custom consolidation, although it is possible to create on TM1Web, normal cube views, DBRW are working perfectly, and we can also able to use this custom consolidation to add up numbers of the selected elements on a slice, but if we are using it on a relatively complicated Websheet (Active Form) and having MDX to reference this Custom Consolidation, MDX is not able to recognise the name even a simple {[Department].[}ROLLUP_2]} and therefore not able to perform the necessary analysis using Websheet.


MDX in today's Planning Analytics roadmap plays a huge role, not matter it is REST API, TM1py, PAW, etc are all using MDX underneath, therefore it is important to incorporate this feature to allow users to do analysis more easily.

    This idea is not under consideration.

    MDX already supports Aggregate and other functions that can be used to define a custom consolidation. Consolidations can be based on existing subsets in TM1 using the TM1SubsetToSet function. The ability to create rollups (classic UDCs) in the TM1 Server will not be available in future releases of TM1 server that are ODATA only. Also, please consider that the classic UDC (ROLLUP) feature was scoped to the user and could not be shared the same way that Workspace MDX views can be shared. If we did support ROLLUP in MDX the MDX statement would only be usable by the user that created the MDX.

    this would be a great feature if MDX can support }ROLLUP, please consider this!!
