We are often asked; how can I bring my TM1 data into other software and create reports or dashboards?  There is an easy answer to this question, TM1 Connect.  TM1 Connect allows you to take your TM1 data and bring it into PowerBI, Tableau, Qlick or any other ODBC.  Even better this gives you real time data.  Don’t be fooled by the name, it works with Planning Analytics seamlessly!

There are different options to export TM1 data but why settle for a manual process?  Check out TM1 connect and get your TM1 data in real time in whatever BI tool you use.

How Does TM1 Connect Work?

In TM1 connect, you can create views of the data from TM1. This view generates an SQL statement which can be further refined by filters that get applied to the SQL statement. This is all drag and drop technology, so you don’t need to know how to write SQL statements, but you have the choice to do so if you have the skillset.  Another feature is the ability to bring in Metadata like hierarchies. You can balance ragged hierarchies with the click of a few buttons.
