VIEW

VIEW creates an optimized view of the cube specified by the cube argument.

A single VIEW function is created when you slice a view from a cube browse.

All DBR and DBRW formulas that refer to the VIEW function can then access this optimized view. In this way, results are returned much faster.

Multiple VIEW functions can reside in the same spreadsheet if you have blocks of DBR formulas that refer to different TM1® views or cubes.

This worksheet function is valid in worksheets only.

Syntax
