Hi All, I have created a Cube view which has  negative values in few cells with parenthesis format in OneStream, when i try to export the repot to an Excel am not getting the same format in Excel instead am getting "-" in Excel. I need the same format in excel while exporting. Can anyone suggest the formatting settings how to get that. Please find the below snaps for reference.     Thanks in Advance.

Hi all, what do you usually suggest to clients as last step of a budget/forecasting cycle, to Close the workflow hierarchy or to Lock its workflows? I am just checking if there is any disadvantage by using one against the other. Also, is there a way of automating the closing/locking so that it is trigger on a certain date? I was thinking I can may create a rule encapsulated in a data management job and schedule that, but is there an easier way? Thank you

Dear Community, We have a requirement to calculate the sums of two rows total for every month we run. We have a time parameter that is helping us to select the desired month. We used GetDataCell formula to calculate it for the particular month.for an instance if Jan period is selected - GetDataCell((Divide((CVR(Row1) + CVR(Row2)), (1)))*12):Name(Total)  will be the formula to calculate the sum total for Jan. If Feb period is selected in the parameter - GetDataCell((Divide((CVR(Row1) + CVR(Row2)), (2)))*12):Name(Total) this should be the formula. The bolded part should be dynamic upon selecting the months selected in the parameter. If it's June the bolded value should be 6, If it's July it will be 7, and it goes on. When we are switching the periods, we notice the totals are not matching and the values remain constant. We have a requirement to make the totals dynamic when selecting the periods in the parameter. How can we achieve this? Are we need to w

How can we  pass the selected row key using a bound parameter? I am trying to capture the selected row to a BR for further processing. I also have a supplied parameter to collect the bound parameter but it does not seem to work as a delimited list. The active selected items will be passed to the defined Bound Parameterfield as a comma delimited list. The Bound Parameter format will be as: item1, Item2, Item3. Please advise.Thank You,Indu 

Hi all, I wonder if I can use the following code in a Cube Cell Format.        "XFMemberProperty (DimType=Account, Member=|MFAccount|, Property=AccountType)"The idea is to flip value sign in case AccountType is 'Expense'. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  If ('XFMemberProperty(DimType=Account, Member=[RowE1MemberName] , Property=AccountType)= 'Expense') Then               FlipSign = TrueEnd If-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

Hi All,We are using a spreadsheet component to capture some drivers from end users in our application, how do we customize the ribbon of the spreadsheet component to show only OneStream option in the ribbon?If I do right click, "Customize ribbon", it lets me display only OneStream in the ribbon , but the customization is lost on refreshing the page. Any guidance on how to retain this customization would be helpful.   

Hi,I have created some new balance sheet accounts relating to Right Of Use Assets, I have copied the structural dimensions from my existing fixed assets, so that every member property field matches. I use a generic cubeview for recording opening balance adjustments, when I key into all my other balance sheet accounts, then the derived value flows through the remainder of the year. This happens regardless of which is the first month I key into. However, for my new ROU accounts, it does not do it. The values just show as 0 and I have to key in the actual value manually each month thereafter. Here is some sample data to show what is/is not happening. Also, it does not matter which month is the first month.So what have I missed in creating these ROU account codes in the member properties ? They use the same flow constraint as my other fixed assets, so it's not that.Where else do I need to look ?CheersMark

Hi,We are trying to automate the Workflow to import, Validate, and Load data to the cube using the Business rule. Please let us know how to proceed as I am new to Business rules. Thank you.

hi , Am getting mutiple values from the databuffer for the same intersection. Database has  Status1 ,Value1  then up to ...Status 12 ,Value 12...  I beleive that only the Staus 12 and Value 12 combination alone has to be used but am not sure how it can be pulled in the rule , others are the past values which are stored for that particular intersection..Based on this value further calculation of  % on UD 8 needs to be made. Rule:  Thanks

This may be a long shot but I was wondering if there was any kind of functionality to have a message appear if you leave a dashboard page/try to close out of it. The use case is that I have a dashboard that has a button that is hitting when a conference call happens and it updates security groups so certain users can't make updates during the call. I have another button the user SHOULD hit when the call is done and this will put the security back to what it was originally.  If the user of the dashboard forgets to hit that other button at the end of the call then the security never changes back. Was hoping to give a pop up message or something that forces the user to hit that end call button so the security goes back to what it was.

I'm getting the message "'Function GetLiteralParameterValue(si As SessionInfo, isSystemLevel As Boolean, parameterName As String) As String' is obsolete: 'This is a temporary function used by Marketplace Solutions for backwards compatibility with old XF versions. Please change your code to use supported functionality.'."   Anyone know what object & method should I be using instead?     strSomeString = BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.GetLiteralParameterValue(si,Nothing,"pm_SomeParameter")      

What I have found is that using the BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberInfo or Metadata.GetMember calls with True for includeProperties or even the first call to BRApi.Finance.UD.Text(...) all incur an average of just over 2 seconds and we are looping through 27,000+ projects so 15 hours to check and update the text fields. It seems that it gets cached either in OneStream or the SQL server so a second call done in the update function is no additional cost. The Dimension Library object obviously does this a much faster way, maybe by specifying the individual properties wanted in one of the optional objects versus all properties?   There has to be a faster way.  When using the Dimension Library and setting Grid View's Settings to NOT display parent child relationships, you gain access to the Text# fields.  You can update a lot of these at one time FAST.   I have even updated a function I used to add calling the GetMembersUsingFilter with the option to include All properti

Is it possible to update the Application Security roles with in an extender Business rule? I want to be able to update the Modifydata role with the push of a button.

Hi AllI am updating the Admin Consolidations Dashboard (ADM) so that only some users can execute a Force Consolidate. I can hide the radio button group if the user does not have access but I am struggling to update the radio button group (Consolidate/Force Consolidate) so that the correct option is selected. The list of values for the radio button is controlled by a parameter (pm_ConsolType_ADM). In the LoadDashboard event I have updated this parameter using SetLiteralParameterValue (using v6.8). I am assuming that this is how the radio button selection is controlled as I can't find anywhere else where it can be set. If I click on the 'Reset parameter selections' it works.I have tried unsuccessfully to Redraw the dashboard like this:Dim selectionChangedTaskResult As XFSelectionChangedTaskResult = New XFSelectionChangedTaskResult()selectionChangedTaskResult.ModifiedSelectionChangedUIActionInfo.DashboardsToRedraw = "2_1_AutomationTasks_ADM"Any help you can give me is much appreciate

I need to build a cube view that shows my closing & average FX rates in my row set. Which dimension has these options? 

Workflow, journals Hi all, So our client wants the end users to be able to create journals but not post them. Group finance team will review and approve and post all the journals created. I think the security bit can be done using the workflow profile settings. The question is: Is there a way for the group finance users to see all the journals created by end users and go through them instead of navigating to every workflow to approve the journals. Is there a way to do this? Thanks

Guys, There is a requirement to reverse the signage of all Revenue Accounts, So we have a Code that gets all The Revenue Accounts and Multiplied it with ' -1' , And the data is getting Flipped . But when we try to Consolidate that flipped Data , It is getting Cleared . Also When We try to run The rule 2 or 3 times , then also the Data is Getting Cleared. Any idea why this is happening. This is the code that does the flipping :Dim accountDimName As String = "Financial_Statements" Dim mFilter As String = "A#[4.00.000.000].Base" Dim lstAccounts As List(Of MemberInfo) = BRApi.Finance.Metadata.GetMembersUsingFilter(si, accountDimName, mFilter, False) 'filter on revenue accounts Dim lstRevenueAccounts As List(Of MemberInfo) = lstAccounts.Where(Function(x) BRApi.Finance.Account.GetAccountType(si, x.Member.MemberId).Equals(AccountType.Revenue)).ToList() For Each MemberInfo As MemberInfo In lstRevenueAccounts Dim nMemberId As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Memb
