"System.Exception: SpreadTotalZero (191)" error when typing value into consolidated cell, caused by setting ProportionSpreadToZeroCells to be False

Troubleshooting


Problem

Users types in a value to a consolidated cell (C: element), which was 0 (zero) originally.
User expects that (instead of the default proportional spread) the engine automatically should use the 'Equal Spread to Leaves' option.
  • Therefore users could simply type in a value to a C: element, and the even spread would be done automatically
  • This is the behaviour of older versions of TM1/PA
 
However, this is not what happens in this Technote's scenario.
  • Instead, if a user tries to type in a value to a C: element (which was 0 / zero before) then an error message appears.
