Hi @Debbie Hagen!
I'd like to see the modeled metric report from a Cost YTD view. Is there a way to do this or would it also cause the system to become expensive on performance? Any insight that you can provide is as always appreciated.
Thanks,
@Takilla Richards
Thanks Diane, this is really helpful.
Very helpful!! Thank you!
Thanks for the guidance.
Hi Zakria,
Yes model reports are quite expensive from a performance standpoint depending on how they are configured and what level of granularity they run at. There is no specific guidance on now many you can or should have, because they can vary quite a bit.
That said my best advice would be to delete Model reports you don't need, only build them to the required level of granularity, and as you build each one, assess the impact to your calc time. If one drives your calc time way up, then you may want to configure a different configuration, less granularity, or eliminating some other model reports you no longer need.
Hopefully that answers your question.
Cheers,Deb
By having multiple model reports, does it impact other reports or cost models?
Yes you can Zakria, just create another Model Report and give it a different name.
Can you have more than one model reports within a project?
Yes, that was part of the main post: TBM Studio and Applications v12.3.1 Release Notes
Thanks Michael! Mind if I steal that screenshot and put it in the main post?
Sure thing Debs, have updated the comment
Ahh, thanks Diane, yes, I saw the update for 12.3.1. Makes sense. That would be great if you could add a screenshot.
Hi Debbie,
I think he's referring to searching within a tier, which I pointed out in the post today. I'll update with a screenshot as soon as I can get one!

@Michael Moulsdale, would you like to add some information on how to search within the categories of the modelled table as you mentioned above? Or perhaps write a separate blog post or record a video. we can cross link them so people can find one from the other.
Total awesome sauce! Thanks, Diane!
Great video, and now search within the categories of a modelled table. This can be found in the new features of 12.3.1: TBM Studio and Applications v12.3.1 Release Notes
Great example of how to use a Model Report @Diane Johnson. Thanks for this!
