HierarchySubsetElementExists

HierarchySubsetElementExists determines whether a specific element exists within a specific public subset on the server from which a TurboIntegrator process is executed. HierarchySubsetElementExists cannot be used to determine if an element exists in a private subset.

If the element exists in the specified subset, the function returns 1, otherwise it returns 0.

This function is valid in TM1® TurboIntegrator processes only.

Syntax

HierarchySubsetElementExists(DimName, HierName, SubsetName, ElementName);

Argument

Description

DimName The dimension parent of the subset containing the element whose existence you want to confirm.
HierName The name of the hierarchy in the specified dimension.
SubsetName The public subset containing the element whose existence you want to confirm.
ElementName The element whose existence you want to confirm. The ElementName argument only accepts the element name and not the alias.

Example

HierarchySubsetElementExists('Region', 'Eastern', 'Europe', 'Italy');

This example determines if the Italy element exists in the Europe subset of the Eastern hierarchy from the Region dimension.
