TM1 Dynamic Subset with Dimensional Data

Have you tried to create a TM1 dynamic subset with dimensional data?

TM1 dynamic subset with dimensional data allows you to choose a consolidated item in your list. Then when the list is updated the TM1 dynamic subset with the dimensional data should automatically be updated. But, in my experience, it doesn't always work as planned. Instead, you choose a specific consolidated item and the next time the dimension data is updated, the TM1 dynamic subset with dimensional data takes on a mind of its own. So, you recreate it again. Been there, done that – right? Try the following:

Creating TM1 Dynamic Subset with Dimensional Data

1. While in the Subset Editor, ensure the Expression Window is visible
