How can I get xfgetcell formula to not pull in the next month as a negative? i am making a YTD file and currently have Jan and Feb number but march pulls in the YTD amount but negative and causes the ytd amount to be $0.
Depending on the circumstances, you could find yourself into a situation where you need to report numbers on Extended dimension Members from the Top Consolidation Cube. In a Vertical Extensibility Cube set up this gets tricky since the data is only available at the lower cube levels. To work-around this challenge (considering the limitations exposed below), I have created a dynamic calculation Business Rule that allows you to achieve that by leveraging a specific UD8 Dynamic calculation Member. Following it is an overview of the Solution: Problem Statement: When using Cube Vertical Extensibility, reporting from Tot Group cube is not possible for those dimensions that have been extended. In the example, UD1 is only available at Summary Level for Tot Group: Solution Overview: UD8 Dynamic Calculation to derive the Extended members from the Base Entities consolidating to the Parent Entity Level (E#Tot Group). Data is dynamically retrieved from the base entities
Hello,I'm trying to figure how to stack 3 cube views on the same page and add that to a book. I know you can create a stacked report in a dashboard. But I don't know if you can add dashboards to a book or not.Thanks,Will

HI, I am looking for an option to highlight text value in the cube view based on some condition. I have combo box which has parameter which pulling value from one of the DIMMember 1 = United States Member 2 = Canada Member 2 = Not filled If its not filled then I want to highlight red. Is there any option. I tried using XFBR but seems like it run on specific data unit only
When we take an XML extract of an application with Cube Views built within Workspaces and load into a fresh application there are Cube View groups for each of the Workspace groups on the main Cube View screen/in the Default Cube Views. It is essentially making a second copy of all the Workspace Cube Views in Default. Some Data Adapters are then linking to the new Cube Views copies in Default that did not exist in the original application the XML was taken from. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is this a known bug - doesn't seem like expected behavior?
Hello, I have a weird behaviour when defining dynamically the dashboard layout. If I define dynamically the dashboard layout to be either a vertical stack panel, horizontal stack panel, or uniform, then all of my components render as expected. However, if I want to define them as grid (3 rows, 2 columns), then nothing is rendered. I did use (in that order, if that has any consequences) : contant DashboardLayoutType.Grid property GridLayoutDefinition.RowDefinitions as a list of xfgridlayoutrowdefinition property GridLayoutDefinition.ColumnDefinitions as a list of xfgridlayoutcolumndefinition The logs are telling me that the dashboard indeed is now a grid with 3 rows and 2 columns, however all of my components are not rendered in the dashboard. Being a grid : Being a vertical stack panel, horizontal stack panel, or uniform : I do know that a grid is intepreted differently as a XAML grid class but I have no clue why it wouldn't be rendered with my components in it. Any help or
Hi everyone; we have an application using standard elimination, we have been used eliminations between balance account and P&L accounts, I created a new account in Balance sheet accounts with plug account as Assets, create another P&L account (Revenue) using the same plug Asset account; now when runs the consolidation & Eliminations, there is a difference with balance, is unbalancing. Is there an specific configuration that I need to setup into the accounts? Thanks in advance and best Regards. Mario GV
Hello, I can find no documentations about the "GetDynamicAdaptersForDynamicComponent" that is under the dynamic dashboard services. How to use it ? How to define a dynamic adapter ? My goal is to create dynamically a label component (which is done), but I would like to add a data adapter to it. Unfortunately, I haven't been succesful in dynamically linking a data adapter to my label : Regards,
Hello there, can someone please share a sample transformation event handler code to map an unknown dimension member to a "placeholder" in the same dimension when validation step fails? Appreciate it!
I'm currently using the Narrative Reporting MarketPlace Solution on OS version 8.4 and have successfully integrated Cube Views, Content, and other artifacts using QuickParts. However, I'm facing several challenges:Member Prompts on Report Checkout/Edits: Despite configuring parameters at both the report and report group levels, I continue to receive member prompts from the cube view every time I check out or modify a report. This differs from the expected behavior in guided reporting and dashboards, where parameters are supplied automatically. Is this expected, or is there a workaround to prevent these prompts?
Hey Folks, I am looking to map all validation errors that might occur during an automated load to a placeholder member in the UD1 dimension, but i am running into issues as the mask rule approach is not working. Does anyone else have any other way to make this work? Below is what i have tried but i still get kickouts in the validation step of the load process.
Hi, I am working on extracting data from a Cube view to a flat file. I am using FDXExecuteCubeView query to extract. The extract file is executed to run for one year. I am seeing for each Entity, Scenario, Time (DU) a log entry is created in Task Activity. The Task Activity is getting flooded with cube view log entries. Is there a way to stop the Cube view entries for each Page (Entity, Scenario, Time).? On the Cube view I have the log setting set to False and also in the FDXExecuteCubeView setting I have the logStatistics setting set to False. Is there a way to not log the entry for each time cube view is run for (Entity, Scenario, Period)? Appreciate your inputs!
We have a client who wishes certain workflows (Input Child) to only be visible at specific periods during the year (6 and 12) The only way I could conceive of this based on my knowledge of OneStream to date is through managing security profiles somehow (Access Group) But everything I have seen indicates a very binary process, you have access or you don't.
I'm having an issue in which derived YTD values are consolidating in their period and it is throwing off our results. In the example below which shows expenses by department for a site, there are no longer expenses for the Mfg_Selling dept in M2. OneStream calculates the derived YTD values of -37905 (0 - the prior period expense of 37905). This I understand. What I don't understand is why that value is consolidating up the hierarchy when the view is set to periodic. NOTE: I know how to hide the derived value in Mfg_Selling/M2, it is shown here for illustrative purposes.
Hi all,I'm trying to figure out how to leverage on Report Scripts using OneStream objects. Is it possible to leverage on BRApi inside scripts events ? A direct call to BRApi class results in an error, I'm wondering if there's some workaround or trick to reach the object.Best RegardsFabioG
Hello,I am trying to execute this assembly at load time for this specific dashboard.The rule executes as expected, but I cannot seem to get the parameter to function properly. Here is how it is returning in the log:It's as if it is not reading it as a parameter at all. Any suggestions?
Hi all, I'm trying to build a trial balance that shows line items in their natural debit/credit balances (e.g. - revenue, liabilities, and equity showing up as negative, and all else showing up as positive to arrive at a balanced ($0) report). However, we have some contra-accounts within our Accrued Expenses roll up that should show up as debits instead of credits. The accounts all begin with JDE_1 so I thought I could use the IF statement below to change the formatting for them, but the IF doesn't change anything (everything shows up as a negative, rather than accounts beginning JDE_1 being positive). Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be going awry? This IF statement has worked in other cube views that I've built, so I'm at my wit's end as to why it wouldn't be working here! If (RowE1MemberName StartsWith 'JDE_1') Then FlipSign = False Else FlipSign = True End If
Has anyone come across a bug that causes S4 HANA - URL drill-back to get truncated on execution? We are calling a remote URL that opens the Fiori app. The actual URL gets cut off from the # sign from the OS Drill-back in the browser. Simple code in use - The drillback code is:drillBackInfo.DisplayType = ConnectorDrillBackDisplayTypes.WebUrlPopOutDefaultBrowser.OneStream Support reported this as a bug in the solution. Any thoughts?
Hello, Has anyone had this error message "No valid DataKeys (Scenario/Time) found in data source". I received this message when importing a "text" file through the workflow. Once import is selected and is at 94% complete prior to validation. I have checked on Scenario & Time to make sure it is proper. I need help on how to fix this.
Our beginning balance formula is as follows: 'Check to see if we are in period 1If api.Time.IsFirstPeriodInYear() Then ......... Else ............... This formula worked perfectly rolling from 2023 into 2024, but now in 2025 we are having issues. EX: In Feb 2025, the beginning balance is reverting back to Dec 24 instead of Jan 25. Any insight into where I might start in figuring out this error? I tried looking at our business rules for api.time and didn't see anything that stood out. Thanks!
Hello,Is there any way to leverage a Dashboard Extender rule to set Workflow POV items? I previously had made a post by doing this in the new SmartLinks rule, but I was able to find a way to avoid using that. When my dashboard gets loaded, an extender rule executes, I want to run a subfunction that updates their workflow profile, scenario and year.Is this possible?
Hello, I'm working on writing a budget report for my company and we have these summary accounts that all start with "S_" and the parent name (i.e. ExtSales would be S_ExtSales). Is there a way I can use substitution variable on my column override, where I wouldn't have to go in and change every line to update the override? Thanks, Will
Hi all, We have Excel file that we upload into Cube (some tabs from this Excel file). This file also contains additional tabs that we want to upload into stage only and create cube views based on numbers on these additional tabs. Could you please advise where I can find instructions how to create, upload, perform mappings (if necessary), aggregate stage data and create cube views based on stage data.
I am having issues with my dashboard appearing on my iPad after clicking through one of the buttons I created (going from one DB to another). It seems to work properly within the application on my PC but when I navigate on my iPad the next page goes blank. I made sure the naming convention I want to navigate to is correct. Is this a potential bug that this doesn't work on mobile device? Here is the button property I used for navigation:
