T#PeriodPrior1(|!DRU_Year!|):Name(April 30, 2021)   The member filter above is not dynamic since I am hard-coding 2021 in the second column. How can I make the second column be a prior period based on the first column?

Hello, Do you know if there is a way to display in a dashboard the users / entities access by user / the type of access (read, write...)  Thanks, Regards, Harry

Hi I'm trying to get the current pov - cube and entity - within a member list (i'm using for selection as drop-down). Unfortunately the api.pov.entity.name is in this case not returning the wf pov, but the cube pov. The args.SubstVarSourceInfo.WFCubeRoot doesn't work as well. Any ideas? Thanks Jana

We have several equity accounts with "USDOverride" entered for Text 1 in the "Vary by Scenario Type And Time" section of the member properties. Those accounts are not translating from local currency to USD.  Any ideas why that would be? Thanks!

Hi, I have a process that would be run at the month end to lock the workflow. Once the workflow is locked, you need to refresh the application to see the lock icon on the period in the workflow. The icon doesn't change until you hit the refresh button. Is there a utility in the business rule to refresh the application (I would need to include this utility in the business rule) ? Ragav.

Good EveningWe are working on an OneStream implementation and one of our sources of data is OpenAir. This solution is cloud-based. We are trying to extract data via a ODATA call.Does anybody have any code examples on how to use ODATA as a data source?Thanks in advance.Marco A. Rossodivita

I would like to know from fellow OneStreamers where you’ve done a daily forecasting application. I’m not necessarily looking for a solution. Just ideas on how this can be done. How do you load day into a daily forecasting application when the data file is rolling forward by day? I’m looking at the design guide and there it is talking about UD dimension as a channel. However, that needs you to create multiple channels and multiple import workflow profiles. (the example with Departments is awfully generic, as you can have department files and can have department import child profiles) When I load day 5 today, I’m only going to get data from day 5 onwards. When I load the data then the prior days of May 1-4 are gone. Thank you for your suggestions. CK

I can can create reports showing descriptions (for accounts or other dimensions) in each users’ own language. Question Credit: Noemi Nagy   Is this statement fact or fiction?

Hi All,   I was reviewing the following link below regarding strategies to reconcile historical data.  Strategies for Data Reconciliation - OneStream Community (onestreamsoftware.com) I noticed the following statement "You can turn-on’ translation for periods when the translation is what you will use going forward. It is possible in OneStream to load parent currency. By simply using the Flow dimension, you can see how simple it would be to handle historical currency issues."   Can someone please point me in the right direction in terms of documentation on how this is done / the details. Ideally from either the OneStream handbook, design and reference guide, or OneStream academy.   Cheers!  

Is there a way to enable Account descriptions in other languages like Dutch?

In my screenshot above, I would like to add a $ sign. I know this is done under Number Format. However I would like the $ sign to be aligned to the left-hand side. Would adding a narrow column allow me to do that? Not every line will have a $ sign attached to it. 

Hi everyone, I am looking for a solution to insert dashboards in extensible PowerPoints. I know how to put cube views, reports, etc., into PowerPoint. However, in the object lookup, there is no option for embedded dashboards or other dashboard components. Some background about the dashboard. It is set up using the same way dashboards are set up in Golfstream. It uses some state indicators and labels. The headers and state indicators are set up in separate dashboards and are merged into one dashboard using 2 rows and 1 column.  I have looked at workarounds on how to get the dashboard into a PDF or report. However, I did not find a working solution yet. Therefore I am reaching out to the community. Any help would be very much appreciated.  Thanks Floris van der Poel cpmview E: Fvanderpoel@cpmview.com

Hi everyone, I am trying to add records to a table via an Excel Table View. Using the example in the Table Views documentation, I am able to update existing records; however, any new records added are cleared once I submit the sheet. Is there additional code I can add to allow the Table View to write new records to the table? Thanks! Molly

Hi all is there a way to get rid of the + on a nested dimension? In the example below The + on EQUITY accounts indicates that EQUITY is a real parent of the accounts below the +. But for the nested dimension Onestream displays always a + and it "seems" that the element "sys_CLO" is a parent of the element below. But in this case it is not true. "sys_CLO" is only the last element of the subset in the nested dimension.     My goal is to display a list of elements in the nested dimension suppressing 0 values on the rows.   Do you think this is possible not to show the +? Thanks in advance for the help. Marcello    

Hi All, We have some cube views which dynamically pull columns as per the cycle being planned.  Cycle1 : 4 quarters Cycle2: 3 quarters Cycle3: 6 quarters Cycle4: 5 quarters  These cube views have column separators, highlighted rows and columns. Cube views are included inside spreadsheet component which are then embedded inside the dashboards. ISSUE: Formatting is different for every cycle due to varying number of quarters. We have had to manually update the spreadsheet components for every cycle due to formatting going off. Would anyone have a dynamic solution for this?  

I need to move data between two mutually exclusive cubes. Cube1 (FinPlan) U3 dimension base level is ProductType, Cube2(SalesFcst) UD3 base level is SKU which rollup up to ProductType. SKU also has a Text6 field containing its ProductType Code.   I also have separate Account dimensions: Cube1 uses FinAccounts for Forecasting, while Cube2 uses the SalesFcstAccts dimension   To move the data from Cube2 to Cube1, I tried using a Business Rule using the api.Data.ConvertDataBufferExtendedMembers function Cube is an option:    Dim summarySalesFcstData As DataBuffer = api.Data.ConvertDataBufferExtendedMembers("SalesFcst", "Fcast1", dbSalesFcstData) However, it didn’t replace the SKU with its ProductType. Does anyone know is this function will work between mutually exclusive cubes with different account dimensions. The second approach I would like to try is to extract the data from Cube2 including the SKU Text6 value of ProductType, then I

Hi !I'm interested to get data from the AuditFXRate table, however this table is not giving the Currency names, but only its ID.The problem is that, the Currency names are nowhere to be find in the datatable of the application ( it is not in the "Member", "MemberProperty" or "MemberDescription" table). The only plase I can get a reference of these currency is in the "AppProperty" table, where all currency are stored in one row.Needless to say, the table "FxRate" is not showing the Currency Name as well 🙂 --> Where can we find the CurrencyID + CurrencyName information in OneStream ? Regards,

Hi All,   I am wondering if there is a way to display a text value in a cube view cell directly from a cubeview member filter?  In other words, in the same way that you can use a member filter with GetDataCell to force a number to be displayed (ie. A#Net_income:GetDataCell(100) will display 100), can you do something similar for text values like A#Net_Income:GetDataCell(Hello) to display Hello in the cell?  It doesn't work for me and I have also tried using A#Net_Income:V#Annotation:GetDataCell(Hello) and that doesn't work either.   Any thoughts?   Thx, Mike

Hi Community ! I am building an application where there is a need to have different "culture" on the accounts. In my cube view, I have a column where the "cell type" is defined as a combo box based on a parameter where the user can enter Yes or No. This parameter is of type "member list" with "Yes" and "No" being actual member of a dimension, and those are translated. However, when I change the language, or when a user with another language open the cube view, the parameter displayed value remain the same (Yes and No, insteas or "Oui" ou "Non" for French).   Is it normal? Or is there a workaround or specific config that should be done in order to achieve that ?   Regards,  

Hi, I have account for which I don't want entity aggregation to occur. I have tried using the dimension for aggregation on entity dimension as FALSE but I have not received the desired result and its showing the invalid intersection and hence I am not able to input the numbers at base level. Moreover suggestion on account type are also required. any suggestion would be helpful.

I have a single Connector BR that makes several independent API calls to external systems. When it's called the Task Progress window sits at 11% with the message "Parsing Source Data". I would like to update the task as it goes along so the user knows something is happening.  I found reference to the below snippet but don't know how to properly instantiate the extenderArgs variable. I tried using it with Nothing but it did not seem to work as intended. Is there a sample of how I can do this in a Connector BR? Dim bValue As Boolean = BRApi.TaskActivity.UpdateRunningTaskActivityAndCheckIfCanceled(si, extenderArgs, activityDescription, percentCompleteToAdd)  Thanks.

Hello,   I have a requirement to display an error message in a cube view if the value of a cell is greater than the absolute value of 1000. Under the Cell Format I have "If (CellAmount >= 1000) Or (CellAmount <= -1000) Then " Is this approach correct? Is there an absolute value synthax that I could use? Also what is the syntax that I can use to display an error message after the conditions are met?   Thank you for your time and best regards.

Is there an addin whereby I can retrieve data from OneStream into a Word document?
