Feature requests

Greetings,

The 4.1 version is WOW !!!
In the date time column transformation, could we have a sequence number generator with the starting date as input :

  • in TM1, the 0 day is 1960-01-01
  • in excel, the day 1 is 1900-01-01, day 0 is 1900-01-00 (???)
  • in some others : 1899-12-31 is day 0…

with the option to add the decimal part (the time) and start from 0 or 1

Regards

Hi Christophe,

The Calendar action can generate a sequence of dates in various modes - starting from the given date, ending at a given date, etc.

Adding a decimal part can be done with a simple expression in the Modify Column action.

I'm curious what did you find helpful in this release? Thanks

I was expecting something like that.
The day number from an absolute reference date is useful to compute depreciation\amortization.
But as each software has it own start date, it can be a hell when you have to make the match of the calculation between several systems ( the accounting system of a company vs the financial planning in TM1 vs the Excel spreadsheet of the financial controler)

The Json parse is great, json <-> database transformations drive me mad, there’s nearly no tool on the market able to make it that simple.
I’ll try to load data into TM1 with EM using this feature
