Deleting Smartlist Entry from Hyperion Planning

 Author: Sanjay Purohit

In the tradition Planning world dimension/member intersection are used to store the data and most of us know that Hyperion Planning also provides a drop down feature called Smartlist to capture the data. But this feature comes with few limitations such as:-
Security Assignment: - The security cannot be assigned to Smartlists.
Data Export: - The Smartlists are saved on Hyperion Planning sachem and numeric values are pushed to Essbase. Users can get only numerical values in Essbase if data is exported from Essbase.
 Goal
Creating and loading Smartlists is an easy task but deleting them requires lots of manual efforts. Let’s assume a case where you load 1000 entries to a Smartlist but later we decide to use only 400 and we need to delete 600 of them. You are only left with two choices either delete them manually one by one or delete the Smartlist itself. Let’s how we can delete Smartlist entries.

We have created a csv file and will load the Smartlist from workspace:-

   
·         The Smartlist load is hidden under the New Dimension. Select New Dimension and then Dimension Type Smart List.


·         The smart list is loaded after running the file.

·         Now we will load the below given file to delete the Smartlist entries.

·         After loading this file. All the entries are removed from Smartlist except one.
