I have UD8 DynamicCalc members that calculate various Growth %s.  These work as expected when the Account dimension member referenced in the formula has a normal Account Type (e.g., Revenue or Expense).  It doesn't work when the Account Dimension member's Account Type is a DynamicCalc.Any tips on how to solve for this?  We can workaround this with some math in Cube Views, but would love to have a workaround for XFGetCell and Quick Views.

We have made the latest upgrade to 7.2.1. When I use the Excel Add and use the keep and delete buttons it suppresses all data in that field opposed to only keeping or removing the items that I selected. Anyone else have this issue. The other members of the team don't have this issue and we have the same settings in place.

Hello, I've deleted several on prem databases from both SSMS and the Database Configuration Utility, however, when I access System > Tools > Environment the deleted databases are still listed under OneStream Database Server with a message "((Database Not Found #))".  There doesn't appear to be a way to remove these via the front end. Is there any other way to remove these?

Has anyone else run into the below issue related to Excel Freeze Panes and/or found a solution for it?Unlike exported cube views to Excel, OS does not automatically create frozen panes using Cube View Connections.  We have determined that we can apply certain Excel formats over top of the Cube View connection.  We did this with Freeze Panes setting at the corners of the first row and last column header. However, when we refresh these Excel template files a second time (i.e. after responding to parameters), the frozen panes seems to relocate up above the first header row.  This happens even though the cube view connection itself does not change in terms of it's starting position.For example:Cube view connection is set to start at cell $A$4.Freeze panes setting is at $E$7Above is saved to the Excel template which is then uploaded to OS as part of a File component.  File component is attached to a button on the dashboard that user selects to open the CV connection

Is there a way to have nested column headings centered and merged when exporting a cube view to excel? I have nested columns and want the top column header to be centered and merged over the bottom columns. It does this automatically for a pdf export but the excel export repeats the top header for each column.Excelvs. pdf   

Is there a way, in a member formula or Finance BR, to write annotation data back to the database in bulk?In OneStream rule writing, it's best practice to limit the number of times you are writing data back to the database (ideally only one SetDataBuffer at the end of your code). However, it does not appear that you can include annotation information in the DataBufferCell objects that are used in a data buffer.Is there an alternate way to be able to set a large quantity of intersections at one time (like a SetDataBuffer), but for Annotation information instead of values? 

I'm looking for a solution to create a parameter that would allow users to select from a drop-down list current and next period's scenario. I'm trying to avoid having users select the incorrect scenario for data submission via the excel add in. 

It appears we can not use workflow event handler to automate an activity which has the same event operation type. Anyone has similar experience?We need to automatically unlock a workflow when a sibling workflow is been manually unlocked. We wrote the rule under the BREventOperationType.Workflow.WorkflowUnlock event. But the process always fail with the below error. The same code will work if we changed it to run from the BREventOperationType.Workflow.WorkflowLock event. It seems to me we can not trigger same type of events."The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host (Socket Error Number 10054)"

Hi, I am currently working on creating a ParamHelper business rule to be used in a CubeView. The goal is to have the S#scenario driven by the time dimension parameter selected by the user, rather than by the workflow time. For example, if T# contains M1, the scenario that should be returned is S#Projection. I would appreciate any pointers or guidance. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi All, We have a cubeview that is taking much longer than we would expect.  It can take up to 4 minutes to run or, in some cases, it keeps going forever and we have to logout and abort.  The cubeview has time periods in the column (from a BRString) and Accounts and UD3's in the rows (also a BRString).  Replacing the BRStrings with hardcoded values doesn't really improve the performance so I have removed BRStrings from consideration.  We have also built a clean version of the cubeview to ensure there aren't old ghosts and hidden issues building this on the back of a previous cubeview used for a different purpose.  This cubeview is as clean and lean as it gets and still slow. The part that really strikes me is that if I recreate the cubeview in a quickview in Excel, it takes just a few seconds.  So a 4 minute cubeview can be a 10 second quickview.  And looking at the report, 10 seconds feels right....4 minutes seems way too long for this repo

Hi,I have an import step in a workflow profile, using a connector data source.For the current Scenario/Year there is no data. This is causing an error when I run Load and Transform.I know I can manually set the step to "Completed" using the complete workflow button, but is there a way to set the import step so that the Load and Transform does no fail in the first place when there is no data?Thank you

Hi all,Referring to an old post: "Advanced" graphical content in dashboards.In a graph (created using the report component) I would like to add a trend line. Please see the picture below for clarification. This graph links to FX data (USD/EUR) retrieved in a cube view.  Is there anyone that knows if there is any possibility to add a trend line in here? Maybe someone that has experience with trend lines? The things I thought of:- Adding a trend calculation in the cube view that will be added as a separate series in the chart.     Problem: need to find calculation for trend lines which is very complex.- Data aggregation options in the chart component. (Under Series --> Properties --> View)     Problem: this doesn't seem to do anything. Not sure how to work with the 'custom' setting. - Calculated field in the field list.     Problem: I cannot seem to find the right function for the trend line (relates to problem 1).&nb

Hello,I am trying to find a way to have my variance % follow my dollar variance value.   If a favorable variance, then the % variance should also be a positive percentage.  In this example I'm looking at variance in an absorption account.  Any thoughts on how this could be done?    

Hello,We have a user who is experiencing intermittent instances.  Her CubeView connections, via the excel add in, are displaying a #Logon instead of retaining the last value retrieved.  See below.Her preference is set to "Invalidate old data when workbook is open = false". Is there another setting or preference that needs to be enabled to ensure the user sees the last value?Note: there are multiple cubeview connections in the same excel file.

When using the minimum range value in  a waterfall chart, e.g. (10) that excludes all series values that are lower than 10. Is there a way to keep those values under (10) while using the minimum and max ranges to make the chart show the small value variations with a decent scale for the eye? thanks!

Hi everyone, Is there a way to use more than the 4 offered Row/Column Overrides? Here is my problem:For a customer I have to create a report, in which among other things the sales figures of different business units (UD1) are to be seen later on an Excel sheet. Since, as far as I know, it is not possible to loop on an Excel sheet in a report, I wanted to create a cube view and list the different UD1s under each other. However, a dynamic calculation with the following formula is included: GetDataCell(Divide(CVC(ColA, 1), CVRC(RowA0, 1, ColA, 1))):Name(%) The value A0 should then be changed to B0 for the next BU. However, since there are a total of 12 BUs and 12 columns for each month, the 4 overrides are not enough. Is there a way to increase them? Or another way to get the calculation right for all BUs?

We have a logic that makes a multiplication of Transfer for Tax by Grouping Regime by Tax Rate (38,007 *0,1). It works for all entities, except one (here it always show 0): Do you have any idea why?Thanks a lot!

Hi everybody,Below you can see a graph created for a client.A question coming from them is that they want to align the 0 points (highlighted) of both the primary (left) axis and the secondary (right) axis. I've tried (amongst others) to change the visual and whole range, scaling options but it doesn't seem to change anything.  Does anybody know if it is possible to align the 0 points? Thanks!Floris

Hi AllI am trying to build BR (Finance or Extender (General Server), activated by Dashboard button) to calculate Journal (based on two different Cubes) and post to Dt or Ct ('if' statement to define where exactly)?I thought it would be possible with 'api.Data.Calculate' by just having simple equation TargetCube = 1stCube - 2ndCube; but cannot get to the place where I could define whether it should be posted as DebitAmount or  CreditAmount.Thanks!

Doing a simple XFD load and getting a strange message "Cannot load data to 'UD6' member 'member name' because it is not assigned to workflow channel 'Standard' or because the UD member is invalid for the specified cube.1. I have checked the Import_Standard node and can't see a setting that ties to UD6 members. 2. I checked the cube and can see that the parent dimension is allowed for the cube. Any help is appreciated,  Scott 

Is there an easy way, to copy data from one cube to another (with different dimensionality)
