Hi,How can I store data in a cube view cell that comes from a business rule linked via a DM stepI want this cell to become 75, if I input 50 on the white cell.Is this related to a cube view property or a business rule?
Hello everyone, I'm trying to create my first import from scratch. Unfortunately, it always gives me the same error : No valid DataKeys (Scenario / Time) found in data source. Review the source data load processing log and check one-to-one transformation rules to ensure that you have created proper Scenario and Time dimension rules for this data source. And no line is imported or displayed in the logs.However, I've gone down each parameter and everything seems correct and consistent with what I have on other import files. Could you help me investigate? My settings : All the UD1 to UD8 are on None. And the log :
Hi, I have a cube view with a straightforward requirement. Below is an example of my requirements using the Golfstream app. My rows are set as follows: Member filter 1: U2#Clubs.ChildrenInclusive:name(UD2: |MFUD2Desc|) Member filter 2: T#2011Q1.ChildrenInclusive:name(Time: |MFTime|, UD2: |MFUD2Desc| The below screenshot shows what this returns. The issue is that I need to reference the member filter 1 member from member filter 2. When I use |MFUD2| from member filter 2, it reverts to my top UD2 member rather than reading my UD2 member from member filter 1. I need this to do a more complicated loop through members, and that loop must take the row's UD2 member into account. Any advice or workarounds? User-created parameters and |CVUD2| do not return what I need.
I cannot find any setting for moveable splits in dashboard layout or advanced dashboard layout. Is it not possible in Genesis? Does it means I should just create the dashboard in the client first and then link it into Genesis?
Hi everyone,We are currently developing a planning solution in OneStream for a client who has requested that the Cost Center dimension (and its related nodes) be updateable every year, while still maintaining full retroactivity when users need to view reports for prior years.We have considered two possible approaches:OPTION 1Each year, load a new Cost Center hierarchy associated only with that specific year. When users want to analyze historical data, they simply select the hierarchy corresponding to the year they are reviewing.The main drawback of this approach is that, over time, multiple versions of the Cost Center hierarchy will accumulate, which could potentially impact maintainability or performance in the long term.OPTION 2Separate Cost Centers and their nodes into two distinct dimensions. Introduce a technical member in the Account dimension and use a data entry form (maintained annually) where users enter a value of “1” at the intersection of each Cost Center and its correspon
Hi,I have been trying to read a csv file that is in Documents/Users/userxxxx folder. Not able to make it work. Getting an error.Below is the codeDim FileName As String = args.NameValuePairs.XFGetValue("Param1", String.Empty) Dim sourceFolder As String = $"Documents/Users/{StringHelper.RemoveSystemCharacters(si.UserName,False,False)}" Dim fullPath = sourceFolder & "/" & "abc.csv"Below is the errorCould not find file 'P:\Program Files\OneStream Software\OneStreamAppRoot\OneStreamApp\Documents\Users\userxxxx\abc.csv'.Any idea why this is not working?Thank you,Mikki
I am here with one of my typical requests to see if anyone has (SQL query) code I can borrow 🙂 We had an issue with two users who discovered how to submit data through Excel and circumvent the workflow forms. As a result they are inputting data to intersections where we do not want forecast data. I would like to have a dashboard I can run where I can select a specific scenario and it will return a list of intersections that were modified through an Excel submit. Or just a list of users and then I can run the ONC application report User Data Entry Detail to get the details of the intersections. I know the data lives in a table somewhere but I am not sure the table name and the fields to filter on and return. In the ONC User Data Entry Detail report I am able to select a scenario, WF time and user name and can see data they changed via forms and data that was changed via Excel. But, there is no option to see all Excel edits for all users and I am trying to catch the ru
Can we use an XFBR in a parameter like this and then use the parameter name in a DM step?
This is a problem I run into off and on that's always been annoying but easy enough to work around... until now. When working in a QuickView, for example, I click on the Up Arrow (for Parents) and I get all parents, not just the parent in the hierarchy I'm actually working with. In the most literal interpretation, I can see why this happens. In principle, I think I ought to be able to control this behavior either by the Parent filter or through the addition of a field that lets me choose my current hierarchy. But, in a QuickView, I'm working with one member at a time so it's not the end of the world to just remove the irrelevant parents and maybe do a little manual editing of the member filter if it gets too messy and I really want to keep the QV for future use. The problem comes when using the Grid View set to Display Parent Child Relationships with a member filter to display the descendants within a key hierarchy. I get every parent child relationship for every hierarchy. There's no
Hi all, I'm currently exploring ways to extract data from a Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse into OneStream. The obvious way would be to connect to the SQL endpoint just like any other DB. In this case, what would be the best authentication method? I've been testing it out with my own user on MS SQL Server Management Studio using MFA, and I have no idea what the best way would be to create credentials for the connection string in OneStream. In case connecting to the SQL endpoint with a connection string isn't a good idea, what would be a better practice? Thanks.
Hi all,so I'm running a Finance Business Rule through BRApi's ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule method, passing a POV through its nameValuePairs parameter.Since I need to run it from a WorkSpace for a bunch of different DataUnitPK, I'd like to run them in parallel. Unfortunately it doesn't work. It seems to me that:The first launch runs with a POV passed in parameters (let's call it POV-A)The second launch sets its own POV (let's call it POV-B)if the first launch is still running - and that's natural for parallel execution - every reference to api object seems broken, since it refers now to POV-BDoes someone was able to parallelize the above mentioned method ?Thanks in advance for Your help RegardsFabioG
I've been working on getting up to speed with the various Genesis content blocks and am having trouble with the Cube View With Drill block. When I try to select a cube view, the tree view only goes down to the Cube View Group level, not the Cube View level. I was able to tweak a business rule to allow it to select a specific cube view, but then the drill doesn't appear to work when I select a cell to see the details. I'm certain there is data that can be drilled down to, but nothing changes when I click various cells. I've even tried setting the cube view to show a base-level intersection and confirmed that I can see a number that is the same in stage. Anyone seen this issue yet or have any troubleshooting tips?
I have created a cv with comments for comments input and review.The comments are saved and viewed with success but I am missing the red flag on the cell where there is comment in the cells. See below. According to feature video for cv with comment, there should be a red flag see below screenshot: What could be the reason it is missing?
Hi - Has anyone created entity readdatagroup using the below function Dim objGroup As Group = Group.CreateEntityReadDataGroup() Any help would be appreciated
Hi everyone,I have two attribute dimensions in my model that I use to filter Cost Centers by Region and Line of Business.The issue is that when I try to drill down on those cells to reach the Stage data using “Load Results for Imported Cells”, I’m not able to get to the maximum level of detail.I assume this happens because the system is filtering by attribute members, which do not exist in the Stage tables.Has anyone experienced something similar or found a solution/workaround for this?Thanks in advance!
In the basic dashboard courses, there are documentation suggesting the recommended naming conventions for the workspaces, maintenance unit and the respectives sub folders. But in Genesis, I cannot find any. I wish to get some idea for it for better structure and administering before starting using Genesis in our application.
Hi - Is there a consolidated list of available arguments that can be used when pulling a cube view in an extensible doc?This is the default value/example when inserting: "{XF}{Application}{CubeViewReport}{MyCubeView}" "Argument1" "Argument2"A populated example would be: "{XF}{Application}{CubeViewReport}{CubeViewName}" “IncludeReportMargins=False” “IncludeReportHeader=False” “IncludeReportFooter=False” “IncludePageHeader=True” “IncludePageFooter=True”Just trying to figure out if these are the only ones or if there are others since I'm having some trouble with getting it to display the way I wanted.Thanks!

Is there a way to default the format in a text box where rich text is allowed to something other than Calibri? it remembers the state of the component when I open a dashboard change it, save, and close the component but when I create new items from the dashboard the new items that get always default to Calibri.
Hi Team, As part of V8 upgrade, I have uninstalled UI. and then loaded SV102 zip file for capital planning. But receive the following message. Any one experienced this and resolved?
I have a source cube view that has a column for actuals, budget, and then actuals versus budget. Actuals versus Budget is just a simple GetDataCell(CVC(Co1) - CVC(Col2)). However, there's a need from our business partners to be able to drill down into the variance for Entity.Base (source cube view is just Entity). My original attempt (Attempt #1) was to create a DynamicCalc UD8 to take S#Actuals - S#Budget but we have a handful of custom Accounts (A#) that aren't playing well with this approach. However, for the accounts that do work the drilldown is working perfectly. My next attempt (Attempt #2) was to create a non-DynamicCalc UD8 (TestUD8) and keep the GetDataCell column on the source cube view but tagged :U8#TestUD8. The problem I'm running into with this method is that the TestUD8 isn't getting passed to the linked cube view? And I don't know why? I have Attempt #1 and Attempt #2 side-by-side on the same cube view and Attempt #1 will pass the cus
Here's the scenario I'm trying to figure out: My main dashboard has 3 columns which contain 3 different dashboards. The left and right dashboards are just for navigation and have a set width. I want the middle dashboard to be center aligned with the available space left over after the left and right dashboards are populated. Basically I'm trying to design the dashboard so that it's readable from a laptop screen but on a normal monitor I want the main section of the dashboard (the middle) to fill in all of the empty space and center align horizontally. I hope that makes sense? Thanks, Brandon
Hello, We are looking to create a form tracker that provides a global overview of the progress across all our entities, do you know if this is possible ?Headers = All our entitiesRows = all of our formsData = Text to see if the form is complete Thank you in advance for your help,Regards,Antoine
Hello, We need an RCM report to tie recon balances back to OneStream for audit purposes. Has anyone created or knows how to build a report showing balances for child recs (without the balance for the associated recon) and balances for recons that have no child recs? The rcm database tables aren't very intuitive and a little guidance would be a huge help! Thanks!
Hi, I'm aware that from the Validate workflow step, the full list of invalid intersections can be exported as in the picture below (right click > Export): The Validation messages are not included in the export. Is there a way to export the full list of validation messages together with the invalid intersections? Thank you
