Hi,   I have a saved report setup with XFGets. One of the dimensions on the report points to the member "Top." Is there a way to have the XFGet show Top of the dimension and exclude a base member? Thanks.

Is there a setting or option wherein users don’t have to refresh the XFSetCell based excel reports every time the file is opened?

When creating a loadable xml format for bulk user creation using internal authentication, we face issue while signing in using the created users (the password encryption and decryption might have caused it)Is there any way out to solve this?For eg. : We created a user TestOS with password as Welcome1 using xml, but when this user tries to log in using the same credential, the user faces sign-in issues.

Hi the community! Do you know the way to proceed to retriev in a cubeview a specific UD where the text of it is set on a specific value? For example I want at the finest level all my UD1 which contain as a Text4 "Long_Lines" I write this as a formula : U1#Shipping_Trade.Children.Where(Text4=Long_Lines) But nothing appears as a result. Did I missed something? Thank you.

Hello all, This one is a bit of a doozy, so bear with me. In this specific instance of an application, we have multiple cubes that share identical hierarchies, except one cube uses the Entity dimension, and one uses the UD2 dimension. Ex. below: Cube 1 = E#10001 Cube 2 = U2#10001 Our goal is to have a cube view that compares the actuals from Cube 1 to the Forecast of Cube 2. We have tried many ways to work around this, resulting in our most recent endeavor of using UD8 dynamic calculations to return a data cell value from a member script in Cube 2. Our issue is that while the UD8 shows the proper data, it does not allow end users to properly drill down from the data cell. It also does not allow a user to see the proper cell POV of the data being presented. Is there a better approach to this? Essentially, the goal is to have the row dynamically switch between the dimensions, UD2 and Entity, based on each column. Other constraints to note are that this cube view needs to be created using

Is there a good resource that people use to explain what is contained in each version of OneStream. I read the release notes but I am looking for perhaps a good blog to help explain these features in detail. I typically meet with our Finance users before we upgrade to let them know any features that may be useful to them.

We are trying to load txt file to custom table using LoadCustomTableUsingDelimitedFile but when it runs we receive a "Data load file is invalid or missing" error. The file is manually selected from a folder.  The file is correct, the number of fields in the file and in the table match, the values and the field type match and the field separator is correct. We are uploading the file from a Dashboard button component which calls a Dashboard extender BR. This is the BR code:   Dim filePath As String = args.NameValuePairs.XFGetValue("FilePath") Dim tableName As String = args.NameValuePairs.XFGetValue("TableName") Dim loadResults As TableRangeContent Dim fieldTokens As New List(Of String) fieldtokens.add("field1") fieldtokens.add("field2") ... fieldtokens.add("fieldn") loadResults = BRApi.Utilities.LoadCustomTableUsingDelimitedFile(si, _ SourceDataOriginTypes.FromFileUpload, filepath, Nothing, ";", _ "Application", tableName, "Replace", fieldtokens, False)

Hey guys! Happy new year. Do you know if there is a way to use more than one dim in the lif section for a calculated field in BI Viewer?  Thanks a lot!

Hi - Is it possible to drill back to the Analytic Blend tables from the cube data? I have an CV MD adapter which pulls the data from CV, and I created a Map & Bar chart and I want to create a Drill Back to the Analytic Blend tables because it has SKU & Customer level data which is not present in Cube. I am able to create the separate but not able to integrate. Do I need to create any Connector Rule? Any thoughts on this topic would be appreciated?   Thanks 

Is there a way to set the default application for all users? I would prefer it to always default to our Production application every time someone logs in.

Hi all, I am working with navigation links in my cube view. However, when I open the 'linked cube view' through my 'main cube view,' I get the member filter to show in the title of the dialogue box that opened. These are the bound parameters that I used in the 'main cube view.' Is there a way to remove the member filter from the title bar in the dialogue box? I've included below what I mean with the title bar and my issue.  I appreciate any help you can provide. Kind regards, Floris van der Poel

Hi, Do we get to see the member updates made in Dimension Library in the Task Activity? I don't see a Task Type related to this in the Task Activity. It gets recorded when I use an XML file to update the dimensions, but not the manual changes made there. Is there any setting that needs to be made to get this information in Task Activity or should I be checking somewhere else? Please let me know. Thanks in advance, AK  

We set up OneStream approx. 3 years ago. Since then our user base has expanded a lot and we have facing issues in users accessing OneStream. Currently, in order to grant acess we have to add users who utilise different IT Networks as guests to our Azure AD. However, we have a number of smaller entities where we can't do this as they don't have a corporate IT network with an external facing IP we can whitelist. Has anyone come accross this issue and are there solutions we haven't thought of?

Hi all,  I am having trouble with a member formula that essentially subtracts interest expense from interest income: I'm sure I am missing additional dimensions/qualifiers in the member formula, but everything was the exact same except the account of course. Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a way to get the list of components on the calling dashboard on load? Trying to use:args.ComponentInfo.Component.Name results in nothing, even though I have multiple components on my dashboard. I want to get a list of all components, particularly a label or 2, and based upon user settings/access/Text fields, set labels

When a translation or a consolidation is run, the AdjInput entries are rolled into the AdjConsolidated member. This rollup occurs as the data is moved along the Consolidation Dimension.

Dear community, I am currently using FDXExecuteCubeView in order to get only data coming from a cube view that the user is selecting into a business rule data table. However, FDXExecuteCubeView need to specify the entity & scenario member filters which is a pain when these are parametric. --> So I was wondering if there are other way to get the data coming only from a cube view ? I was thinking of a data adapter component but it seems that the cube view passed in those can't be parametric (ie. the name of the cube view can't be a parameter). What are the other, possible better way, to get only the data coming from a cube view ?   Regards,

Hi, we have dashboard with multiple driver tabs.  if data is entered in one tab but not saved prior to switching to another tab that data is lost.  Is there a BR to check for unsaved data and prompt the user to save? thanks, Greg

Hello,  I am looking to  write a confirmation rule which pulls a value for a flow member across each account. An example would be we have a calculated opening balance and a loaded opening balance. There is a flow members which calculates the variance between the loaded and the calculated beginning balance.  If the absolute value within the validation flow member <> 0 I want the rule to return which accounts are causing the outage within the info1.  I'm looking forward to seeing if if anyone else has come across something like this. Cheers!  

Dear Community, There is a possiblity to retrieve parameters currently available in a dashboard using for instance :      Dim str_myParam As String = args.SelectionChangedTaskInfo.CustomSubstVars.XFGetValue("MyParameter")     However, this means that we need to know the names of the CustomSubstVars currently in the dashboard (in that case, I need to know that the parameter MyParameter is indeed available in the dashboard). In my use case the user can open several cube view hence the parameters will change from one Cube View to another.  Is there a way to list all current CustomSubstVars available in the dashboard ?    Regards,

Is it possible to change these colors globally within an application?: 1. The application colors that are the Blue and light blue that we see at the top navigation and application header bars. 2. The highlight color that occurs when your cursor hovers and selects different cells such as within a grid view or a cube view.

I have created a Dashboard Dara Set BR and I am attached in the data adapter. When I am trying to execute the rule am getting 0 data. See below the entity is always passing as None but when I add a log message in the code the variable is passing based on the selection and printing the correct entity. in My CV i also have the FDXentity parameter. Any Idea why it is happening ? Original Query  {FDX_CUbeView}{ExtractCubeViewTimePivot}{cvNameToExtract=Data,entityDimName=E#|!FDXEntity!|} Substituted Query  {FDX_CUbeView}{ExtractCubeViewTimePivot}{cvNameToExtract=Data,entityDimName=E#None}   Thanks Krishna    

Hi everyone, We have a form using the Insert Suppressed Member functionality and have two questions related to this functionality. When selecting the dimension that is suppressed to insert, is there a way to not show the dimensions that already appear in the rows of the form/cube view?  Currently it allows users to pick all members in the member filter - suppressed or unsuppressed. We noticed if the cube view has columns that are doing cube view math - the Insert Suppressed Member screen it will show the logic of the first row in the form - which could be misleading to users.  See screenshot below for example.  Items marked in red/#2 refence the first entity in the form/cube view - not the entity being added/inserted.   Thanks
