Bulk reporting

Bulk reporting

The TM1->Print Report function from Perspectives is useful to generate static reports in bulk for a given set of elements.
The following code is mimicking and extending that functionality to achieve bulk reporting for a TM1 report in a more flexible fashion.
For example you could get a report based on the branches of a company to be saved in each respective branch documents folder instead of getting them all dumped in a single folder or you could also get each branch report emailed to its own branch manager.

Here is the Excel VBA code:

    Dim destination As String

    server = "tm1server"
    myDim = "Store"
    fullDim = server & ":" & myDim
    If Run("dimix", server & ":}Dimensions", myDim) = 0 Then
        MsgBox "The dimension does not exist on this server"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    'loop over all elements of the branch dimension
    For i = 1 To Run("dimsiz", fullDim)

        TM1Element = Run("dimnm", fullDim, i)
 
        'see if there are any sales for that branch
        total = Application.Run("DBRW", Range("$B$1").Value, "All Staff", Range("$B$7").Value, TM1Element, Range("$B$8").Value, "Total Sales")
