Hi, Can anybody help with this error? what we need to check for this in business rule.       

Is it possible to change the Fiscal Year Month Type in the time profile after an application has had data loaded to it? For example from Fixed Weeks 4-4-5 to Calendar Month?   

Our team has been working through an Infrastructure project, which requires pulling task activity from the Framework Database.  When pulled directly from the database, we see task activity type in numeric format.  To get the descriptions I ran an comparison by extracting the Task Activity dashboard tool and was able to identify the below descriptions:  (CASEWHEN a.TaskActivityType= -1 THEN 'Unknown'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=10 THEN 'Recycle Application Server'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=100 THEN 'Get Data Cells'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=101 THEN 'Get Data Cells Using Script'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=110 THEN 'Cube View'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=111 THEN 'Cube View Report'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=112 THEN 'Export Cube View To Excel'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=120 THEN 'Quick View'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=200 THEN 'Book'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=1000 THEN 'Data Management'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=1100 THEN 'Data Management Scheduled Task'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=2000 THEN 'Load And Transform'WH

Currently when we open excel the context pane automatically opens. Is there a way to disable so that it does not appear automatically?

Hi all,I have an issue whereby I'm loading our company actuals into OneStream, but if a General Ledger code has no data in it but had data in previous months, I think OneStream assumes the YTD value to be zero and so the opposite total of the previous months is being loaded.So for example the YTD total of repairs & maintenance may be £100 at Apr-22, and in May-22 there are no further transactions so the YTD position is still £100. However as no transactions occurred in May, when the data is loaded      -£100 appears in May.I've checked the DateSource and TransformationRules we have set up, I cant see a reason why this would be happening as it's all set up as 'Periodic', and so only the data from the initial load should be include.Does anyone have any ideas as to where the problem my lie, or where I could look to try and see why this is happening?Many thanks,Ged

Is it possible to pull up a linked dashboard by using a button component instead of having to right click on a cell.  I want the user to be able to click on a cell in a cube view, then click a button that pulls up another cube view showing the detail.  I am using two bound parameters for account and department within the dashboard.    

This seems very standard, so I have to be missing something.  I have the row filter on a Cubeview "A#6020.TreeDescendantsInclusiveR".  6020 is the total line for all the single level descendants.  How do I get only the last descendant to be underlined in the report before the Total line of 6020?

Hi,I have persistent derived figures in some calculated accounts that I cannot delete.My account is set with ZeroViewFoNonAdj = YTD, but for some reason the derived figures still appear in Grey in my Cube View:Is there an soft way to clear or reset this (except a Clear/ reset scenario) ?Thank you.Aurélien 

Hi All, Need some help in updating properties of scenario member through an extensibility rule. 'Workflow Time scenarioProperties.WorkflowTime.SetStoredValue(BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, DimType.Time.Id, objUtil.GetCycleFirstQuarter(si, api)))   'Workflow Start TimescenarioProperties.WorkflowStartTime.SetStoredValue(BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, DimType.Time.Id, objUtil.GetWorkflowStartTimeForScenario(si, api)))   'Workflow End TimescenarioProperties.WorkflowEndTime.SetStoredValue(BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, DimType.Time.Id, objUtil.GetWorkflowEndTimeForScenario(si, api)))   The rule compiles fine however fails on execution. Error message received: Error updating member. Invalid parameter 'WorkflowTime'. Would someone please guide me with the correct way to achieve this?

Hi everyone, I have been looking in the marketplace to see if there is any tutorial about 'Best practice' to set up Securities in OneStream. I couldn't find anything. Do you have any approach to suggest? Do you use the Child/Parent group often? It seems like it could become quite messy.. Any comment is very appreciated Thank you in advance

Looking for anyone who has used the CVRC() function successfully in their Cube Views. If so, is there anything special you are doing with the syntax for the Row or Column Index #?According to the OS documentation, I should be able to simply do this:  GetDataCell(CVRC(RowName,RowIndex,ColumnName,ColumnIndex).... ETC.) Example:  GetDataCell(CVRC(MyRowA,1,MyColA,2) + CVRC(MyRowB,2,MyColD,4) But even with the most basic test cube view, the result is always giving me an Invalid Index error.Is there some special way to express the row or column Index # that I'm missing here?Thanks in advance for any advice

Is there an easy or single step way to add a book to run from within another book?  Trying to avoid re-creating the book from scratch just to use elsewhere.

SOURCE: ONESTREAM CHAMPIONSHi Team,Just want to understand, can we customize the standard Drill down reports or may be add 2 more rows in there and call some cube view reports from there.https://discourse-static.influitive.net/uploads/db_8467a788_7b9e_45b8_8b6c_d37e1967220d/original/1X/7e895d9991933241d561622179a47990f62958d3.jpegCustomized Drill down.jpg701×421 61.3 KB Regards and ThanksDarpan Bhansali

Hi All, Has anyone set up a new scenario to load stub period data and is willing to share your experience. I will need to produce financial reports for the full year 2022 and partial year from Aug-22 to Dec-22.  So, I am thinking of copying Aug-22 to Dec-22 actual data to another scenario “Actual22”.  The data will be in USD to avoid translation issues.  However, I am not sure if I should use the same Scenario Type “Actual” for “Actual22” because of the business rules set up in Flow Dimensions for the opening, movements and closingCalc.  What do I need to change if I use Scenario Type “Actual” or another Scenario Type?  What are the other considerations I have missed? Please shed some light. Thank you in advance!

Hi, Is being able to Right click and choose Consolidate in a cube view an admin only function? We have a report where "Can Consolidate" is set to True but users are not able to consolidate from the cube view...they can from a data mgt job. Thanks, Haaris

Hi All,We're currently trying to map IC relationships in the transformation rules where the source data doesn't contain this field. We can map this based on the GL account from the ERP system but just unsure on how to do this in OneStream. Essentially we'd like to use 1-1 mapping but based a different column other than the IC in the source, is this possible?Thanks,

Originally posted by Eric Osmanski 5/15/2020 Is there something up with V#Footnote and V#AuditComment? We have a form where the user needs to enter in comments. There are no conditional input rules in this application or Data Cell Access restrictions on the Cube. If we use V#Annotation, V#Assumptions, or V#VarianceExplanation, then everything is good and the column is open for input. If we use V#Footnote or V#AuditComment, the column is read only. What am I missing?

Hello;  Would it be possible to round a number in a cube view? For example I have a result in cube view which has a value of -839 for an intersection, would it be possible to make this value to -840 using the Round or any other function in a cube view report.    thanks, in advance for any support!  

Hi,Is there a way to find the primary node or secondary node of a member with alternate hierarchies in OneStream like the default parent of a member in Hyperion HFM?

Hello, This is in reference to accepted code sample posted for adding a dimension member through an Extender Business Rule. https://community.onestreamsoftware.com/t5/Accepted-Code-Samples/Extender-Auto-Create-Member/ta-p/6921 SaveMemberInfo Want to understand which tables are impacted by execution of the routine SaveMemberInfo. Does this make entry to the following tables? Member MemberDescription MemberProperty Relationship RelationshipProperty Please mention if I have missed some table here. Also, the article says that audit information is not stored with this save routine. Kindly confirm if below are the audit tables which should have the relevant details: AuditMember AuditMemberDescription AuditMemberProperty AuditRelationship AuditRelationshipProperty Would like to understand in general what information do below tables store?

Team   Is there a way we can add long text like comments to the cells through Forms?  Am trying to build a cube view with data and comments to it which is visible on view rather than adding it as "note" or "attachments". Please see the sample image below on the requirement.      

Hi All, Is there any utility rule available which helps to take backup of all the components of the application? This can then be scheduled to take daily/weekly application back ups.  Any leads would be appreciated.  

Hi All, I am trying to get my member formula to calculate an unbalanced balance sheet and I built a Quick View to see the calculation. However, it does not seem to be calculating anything with the member formula.    The following is the member formula under 'Calculation Out of Balance'   If ((Not api.Entity.HasChildren()) And (api.Cons.IsLocalCurrencyForEntity())) Then   api.Data.Calculate("A#Calc_OOB:U1#Manual_Input:F#EndBalLoad:I#None = A#Total_Assets:F#EndBalLoad:I#Top - A#Total_Liability_Equity:U1#Calculations:F#EndBalLoad:I#Top")   End If Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
