    There are two variations of the api.Entity.Text() function.  One variant takes no parameters, and will operate on the POV entity.  The second version allows you to specify any Entity member.  Much the same as all the other api.[DimTypeName].Text() functions do too.

    You need to be very careful when getting Cube data from a different entity, of for more than one entity, as the currencies for those entities could differ.  And in many instances, those entities may not share the same cube and thus could have different dimensionality.  In addition to that, when getting children of an entity, you can find that the sum of the children<>the parent due to things like eliminations unless you consider very carefully what data you get from the cube.

Hi Rhankey.

I do not want to obtain the Text1 of the entity from the POV. Instead, for example, I want to obtain the entities of an element based on the BR and get the Text1 of those entities whose names I have. Regarding the removal of zeros or no data, I appreciate your help. As for obtaining the entities, I want to get the entities under another entity, but for now, I am not exactly sure how to do it
