Rule based cells that are not fed, are not included in FILTER results

Question & Answer


Question

In Planning Analytics Version 12, no results are returned to a FILTER expression if the cells included in the FILTER are not fed.  

Answer

In Planning Analytics Version 12, the MDX engine issues zero suppressed requests to the TM1 engine to get the values and evaluate the search condition in the FILTER expression.  This is a change of behaviour from Planning Analytics Version 11.
If the cell is not fed the TM1 engine will not return that cell to the MDX engine.
If the cell should be included, a FEEDER statement must be written.
