Hello Community - Looking for guidance on options to calculate data at QTD to overwrite the number generated from periodic values. This intersection has an option for users to enter periodic values, so I cannot make a member dynamic calc. I am using UD8 dimension member for the calc. Please share your thoughts. Thanks!  

I'm trying to load plan data into a range scenario that spans across 2 years. While the workflow view year is 2024, the range is set from 2024M1-2028M12, so the expected result would be that the load can occur for the 2024 and 2025 data that is being loaded in this import step. Is that hypothesis true?  The primary question is: What is the difference between workflow view year and workflow range? Additionally there is an icon in the workflow that "cannot import data to time periods 'AFTER' the workflow view year [2024] (see below).  In the application properties, there is a setting that allows loads after workflow view year.  When this is set to true, the icon goes away and data can be loaded to both years. We are trying to avoid flipping this switch to keep users from accessing any time periods not within the range. 

hi folks!  I'm seeking advice on overcoming the obstacle of exporting data from an Operating System (OS) to make it accessible for a Business Intelligence (BI) solution. Currently, my goal is to export data into a STAR schema within an external database. While I know this task is achievable, I'm curious to learn if anyone has leveraged the OneStream WebAPI or any other innovative methods to retrieve data instead. Would appreciate insights or experiences shared on this matter! Cheers Frank

Hi All,   I have created one cube view and made it as forms so that user can update their data but i also need the user updated data into another cube view. Once user updates in forms it should also able to bring in another cube view. Can anyone help how to achieve that ?   Thanks in Advance.

I would like the use one of the T#Global function and create a dynamic time list for the last 24 months.  For example, I had the time as 2023M12, the list would show me all the months of 2023 and 2022.  Anyone has any tips on how this can be acoomplished? Trung

Hello,    I have a dimension (UD5), the base embers of which I tag  with a certain text "TEST1". I am trying to create a dynamic hierarchy in UD8 by reading those texts as Text1.  I would like to use this dynamic hierarchy as  a report filter.  For some reason this is not working. I have no formula or BR to do any processing. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, Indu

Hello Community, Is there any functions in Business Rule which is related to T#QuarterPrior1...?I'm getting only this following function, Dim timeMemberIdPrQua As Integer = TimeDimHelper.GetLastPeriodInPriorQuarter(timeMemberId) So can you please help me to get this...!

Dear Community, We have requirement to for reporting in which when we run the report its huge and we want to reduce the size of data and we want to apply sparse row suppression but since we have used dynamic calc in our column set which is throwing error when we apply sparse row setting.  Please let me know if you have any idea or solutions which would be very helpful. Thank You!

Dear Community, Can anyone please guide me the proper usage of the function  BRApi.Database.SaveDataTableRows(dbConnApp, tableName, columns, hasPrimaryKeyColumns, editedDataRows, throwIfRowForUpdatesDoesntExist, throwIfRowForDeleteDoesntExist, logErrors) I would like to understand the correct usage of  XFDataColumn and XFEditedDataRows in the above function, would appreciate any assistance. Thank You.

Hi everyone, I have the current Entity hierarchy: I created a cubeview that allows the user to initially select a base entity from a dropdown list to be used as Entity member within the cubeview. In some of the rows, though, I'd like to consider the Legal Entity code rather than the base member code (for example, assuming the user initially selects 1010TRW, I want two rows to use 1010 as Entity member whereas the rest of the rows will use 1010TRW). Is there a straightforward way to consider the first 4 characters of the parameter in one of the rows of the CV?  I tried to search for functions to be used in the Member filter builder window but I did not find any.Thanks in advance for any help!            

Hello Everyone, I’m not sure if I’m not understanding or just approaching the code wrong.  We’ve been on OneStream for about two years and myself and my co-admin are not extensive in our code knowledge.  We can generally copy/tweak what the implementation partners build, or searching the forums here, but I’d put us as basic or being generous intermediate level. We have a workflow that loads to the actual scenario and has some workflow steps at the end that are for a variance scenario where the users enter commentary balances. The Variance scenario steps auto lock when certified and I want a business rule to unlock the variance steps if the Actual Import_Ledger step is re-run. I have code in the TransformationEventHandler rule that accomplishes this for me, but when users are running the import it gives the error of user has not been granted access to application role “UnlockWorkflowUnit” I thought (possibly erroneously) that by using a business rule the system would allow unl

Is it possible to assign more than one security group to a Dashboard without having to create a new security group?  We have a Dashboard that our SuperUsers currently have access to, and they want the Supervisors to be able to see that Dashboard as well. We don't want to create a combined security group to include both SuperUsers and Supervisors to maintain separation of duties for auditing purposes and we don't want everyone in the application to have access to the dashboard.  Is this possible?   

Hi all, Is there a way to export (for instance to text or CSV file) the error message from a set of confirmation rules applied in a workflow? For now I see it's possible to export one at the time (meaning the error message from one rule) using right click on the error message itself but not for all the error messages at once. Is there a way to export them?   Thank you

Hi all, I have created some calculated fields into BI-viewer. I need to use the dashboard parameters into those calculation expressions as I have some calculations according to that. Any idea on how we can do that.

Hi,I have a large Excel report built on XFGetCells. I am trying to understand the dimensions that each XFGetCell is grabbing, but it takes a long time to parse through an XFGetCell manually and make notes of each relevant dimension. Is there a method or tool to read XFGetCells and translate the dimensionality in a format that identifies which dimension each member is related to? An example of one of my XFGetCells is:=XFGetCell(TRUE, "Cube1", "Entity1", "", "USD", $G$4, H$18, $I$4, $C$24, "Top", "Top", "Top", $C$15, "Top", $C26, "Top", "Top", "None", "Top", "None")-XFGetCell(TRUE, "Cube1", "Entity1", "", "USD", $G$4, H$18, $I$4, $D$24, "Top", "Top", "Top", $C$15, "Top", $C26, "Top", "Top", "None", "Top", "None")-XFGetCell(TRUE, "Cube1", "Entity1", "", "USD", $G$4, H$18, $I$4, $E$24, "Top", "Top", "Top", $C$15, "Top", $C26, "Top", "Top", "None", "Top", "None") I would like to understand that Cube= Cube1 Entity= Entity1 Parent= Cons= USD Actual= $G$4 Etc. Thank you

Hello,  I have created a Workflow Import Step for Year End Adjustments and I want this specific step to only show up for Month 12 in OnePlace. I don't want users to be able to see this step for every period. Is there a way to do this? Thanks,

Hi Everyone.  How can I make an element not open with just one click, but with two clicks or more?

I am trying to update a slice security line using sql. I have been able to update the table on the backend but when I go into OneStream Cube -  Data Access - Data Cell Access Security, it does not show what the table was just updated to. It seems to want an ISS Restart in order for it to update in the Cube Data Access Section. I have also tried using a literal parameter on the member filters and an XFBR to make the changes I want after a button is pressed. Is there a way to update the Slice security without having to restart OneStream besides manually updating it every time?

Hi, Is there a way to perform a force consolidate in a BR? since running a datamgmtsequence isn't working properly for me. Example: Select Case api.FunctionType Case Is = FinanceFunctionType.CustomCalculate 'If args.CustomCalculateArgs.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("Test") Then 'api.Data.Calculate("A#Profit = A#Sales - A#Costs") 'End If brapi.utilities.ExecuteDataMgmtSequence(si, "PLN_Consolidate_AnyScenario", Nothing) End Select And with this, the consolidation doesn't run; I'm not sure if I'm missing sending information or something like that.

May I have an example of how to use "DynamicCalcTextInput" Formula Type? I cannot find the place to put text annotation without using data cell annotation.   

Hey guys! I am working on an Dashboard to present workflow status.... i got this: The query is: {Total GolfStream}{|GlobalScenario|}{|GlobalTime|}{}{}{RowType <> 'A'}   How can i remove the ones that have Central in the name?   Thanks!  

Hi, All!  I am unable to submit (cubeview form) from an Excel workbook which contains many unrelated sheets.  Leaving the workbook as is, I enter a new number in the form and click submit, but nothing happens...No error message, but it doesn't overwrite the existing number., so it isn't working. However, when I randomly delete a few sheets from the workbook, eventually the cell will turn yellow when I change the number, but submitting the data still doesn't update the number.   But when I delete a few more sheets, the cell turns yellow and finally the data is submitted.  Since it is resolved by shrinking the size of the workbook (original size is 3.23 MB) it seems to be a memory issue.  Is there a fix for this or even a known root cause?  Not sure if the issue is Excel and/or OneStream or something else.  The user would like to keep all of the sheets in the file.  Thank you!   🙂   

Hey all, We are currently looking into BI Blend and use it for our Sensible Machine Learning solution that we are about to implement. The initial plan is to use two BI Blend instances one for  historical data which is very detailed data with a long historical range. And a second for a more short term forecast period. Our ambition long term is to be able to use our Forecast BiBlend table data in our Planning process and our regular  Cube and Scenario.  Do anyone have a recommended approach to migrate data from BIBlend into cubes? 

Is there a way to exclude a tab in a book if that tab has no data? I have a cost center loop added to a book. The loop includes all cost centers, although I know some cost centers have no data. I want to make sure we aren't excluding any cost centers in the event an old cost center is used. I'm trying to ensure the report is complete. However, adding all cost centers to the loop results in many completely blank tabs. Is there a way to suppress these tabs or exclude them from the output?

If I have a dashboard gridview of Stage table data, is it possible to execute a drillback to a source system directly from the gridview?
