Lookup and reference functions

The following table lists lookup and reference functions.
Note: Certain functions, such as LOOKUP and ROWS, may accept two dimensional arrays as arguments. TM1 Web does not support two dimensional arrays. Depending on the data organization and requirements, these functions can still obtain correct values, for example, when the data being retrieved falls in the initial portions of the array. To ensure correct values when working with these functions on TM1 Web you may need to reorganize the input data into repeated functions using one dimensional arrays or you may need to use direct cell references.
