If you have a template for your reports with Corporate colours and layouts etc then instead of starting with a slice and formatting it, you probably start with a worksheet and add TM1 formulas to it.
In this case the TM1 Pick function becomes very useful .
By right clicking on a cube or dimension it copies the server:cubename or server:dimension to the clipboard. This can then be pasted into your excel worksheet and you then create your DBRW formulas.
Its especially useful if your typing/spelling isn't too good!
