I have created an extender BR to load from a  xlsx file with xft named range into a custom table. The file is in the OS cloud fileshare in a specific folder. I am 100% sure the file is set up correctly and the path is not an issue, however I still keep getting an error when running the BR from data management that file is invalid or missing. Can someone please help.  Below is the BR . What am i missing   Dim fileName As String = "XFD_Plan1.xlsx" '<-- Enter name of Excel fileDim filePath As String = "Applications\OneStreamDevelopment\Batch\Harvest\" '<-- Enter path to Excel file'Note: dbLocation, TableName, LoadMethod & Field names defined in header of each excel "xft" range.BRApi.Utilities.LoadCustomTableUsingExcel(si, SourceDataOriginTypes.FromFileShare, filePath & fileName, Nothing)

Hi All - I'm trying to understand why this would occur. I had loaded some prior year data, but somehow one of the month is showing negative numbers. I tried to consolidate but it wouldn't change. Wondering what I need to do to fix this?  

Hello, Apologies if this seems like a rather basic question but I couldn't see anything in the Golfstream app. Is there a standard business rule I can take which copies data from one POV into another and modify it so I can effectively combining two base entities into one?  Thanks, Oliver

What is the best way to stop administers to see the PLP Register and plan tables from the system /database tab. We have added the access/maintenance  group for ancillary tables setting in the config file,  however that is only stopping getting the to the PLP register dashboard. However it is not stopping the following two items Admins being able to go to system/database and see the table dataIf I create a new dashboard with a data adapter and write a sql query on the register table, any user with access to the dashboard is able to see the salary data. What is the best practice for this. Also – if we use any additional custom tables to load additional comp related data , is there any way to provide security on those custom tables ? 

Hello,   I have a use case where I need to get data from siblings (or parents) for a dynamic calc. Entities A,B are part of the same parent EntityC. Cost1 / Entity A : 1000 Cost1 / Entity B : 500 Cost2 / Entity A : 2000 Cost2 / Entity B : 1000 The calculation of the KPI should be as follow for each entity : (0.5*Cost1 + Cost2) / ( 0.5*Cost1:EntityC + Cost1:EntityC). or : (0.5*Cost1 + Cost2) / ( 0.5*Cost1:EntityA+EntityB + Cost1:EntityA+EntityB). (it's the same really) Just to give more fun to it, this formula should be dynamic, as I have multiple entities and multiple parent...   I'm looking for a formula that would help me achieve this ?   Regards,

Hi,We have created one Cube view with using "True (but determine sparse rows using other columns)" option under Allow Sparse Row Suppression in Column level and gave "True" under Allow Sparse Row suppress in Cube View properties level as we have used Nested members in Rows with Parent.Base member combinations in Member filter level. When we run the report, it suppresses the rows as per other column even though formula column is having data also. Ex: Cube view created with 2 columns1st column with Account12nd column with calculation GetDataCell(A#Account2 + A#Account3)Row is getting suppressed if Accout1 doesn’t have data even though Account3 is having data also. If we remove above suppression options report throwing an error as exceeding the rows limit since hierarchies are big. Could you please let me know if there any option we can use to show the data at 2nd column level in above scenario

We are exporting batches of reports using "Parcel service" - each report is exported to a folder with "2022_March" in its name. At the beginning of April (and every month) I had to go into each report's path and manually change the path to "2022_April" of each output filename-report to reflect the new month.  I think the solution is to extract (export ) the Parcel reports parameters to XML file, change the paths manually, then re-import the new XML file. However, I exported all Dashboards and application - I was not able to find Parcel report parameters.Any idea where to extract them?We Clicked on System> Environment under the Tools menu. - Click on an App Server within the Application Server Sets menu. -On the Configuration tab, there is an entry for FileShareRootFolder; but that's not where the path is defined. 

Hosted by Azure/Managed by OS, so never spent anytime learning how to monitor our environment other than at the very high level (System-Environment-Refresh). Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  Really looking to see how long Excel queries take, steps within consolidations and just general overhead.  I seem to remember something provided within Azure to monitor but not sure if that is still around or not.  We are heavy for 8 days and adding more functionality so need to make sure we can still run acceptable during that time.

Hello - Is there a way to have a Ud8 dynamic calc sum up certain entities based on a text field? I am trying to tag a text field on certain entities and have a dynamic calc aggregate the entities based on what that text is. Example:  entity 1 - text 1 "abc" entity 2 - text 1 "abc" entity 3 - text 1 "def" I want the value of entity 1 + entity 2   Thank you!  

I have a report that uses it's own conditions to calculate a value. Is their a way to over-ride the blank/data cell in cube view, and have it run a simple IF conditional calculation? Most of these conditional calculation are for KPI's (basically forecasting for 2023 and on..). One of the condition within excel I'm referencing.      Would appreciate your suggestions. Thank you!   Best, Mustafa    

Hi,Is it Possible to extract any metadata (For Example Account) from one environment and upload the same into another environment? Thanks,Madesh K

Hi OneStream Gurus, I have a workflow profile with multiple rows (assigned entities, parent node....). One calculation definition executes a data management sequence. I am using the WF text to pass the entities to the DM sequence and this works fine.. But I was wondering if there is a way to pass the entity from the calculation definition row to the DM calculate sequence or the data quality event handler business rule. As expected if I use the E#Root.WFCalculationEntities in the DM calculate it runs for all entities defined in all rows. Thanks Maja

Is it possible to have a number formatting to show a dash "-" rather than a zero "0"? Thanks

Hi, I am (again) trying to use parameters in a SQL table editor. My parameter is set in order to get a column from an SQL table. When I test the parameter, this is working fine. However, when I add this parameter (which is a bound parameter) to the column of my SQL table editor, I do have the set of value from my parameter, but when I save the selected element, it appears blank. When I check the SQL table itself, I can see the value. This is probably silly, what am I missing ? 😓   Parameter definition : SQL statement : SQL table editor for the selected column : AllowUpdates = True, ColumnName = INDEX_CSR_CAT03, DefaultValue = |!P_CSR_QUESTION_LIST!|, Description = [Question code], ParameterName = P_CSR_QUESTION_LIST   State of the SQL table editor before save ; State after save : SQL table :

Hi OS gurus. Hoping to get a little help on converting a Hyperion line of codethat is using SUMRANGE to OneStream. Here is the Essbase line I am trying to convert: IF(@ISMBR("Assoc Ex Elim"))@SUMRANGE("Cash - Asset",@CHILDREN("Assoc Ex Elim"));ENDIF This piece of code is going to reside in a Flow member that has already been setup as a DynamicCalcTextInput member. It already has codewhere it is calculating account "A29970 - Assoc Ex Elim" based on if a Cash account is positive or negative. It works good but is doing it for all UD1 members, we want UD1 member named"Assoc Ex Elim" to not use this Cash account formula but rather just consolidate what it's children have. This is what the Hyperion code is doing. I have tried the following but no data comes back for it:If api.Pov.Account.Name = "A29970"Dim UD1NAME As String = api.Pov.UD1.Name   If api.Pov.UD1.Name = "Assoc Ex Elim"    api.Data.Calculate("F#ENDBALCALC=F#ENDBALCALC","A#A29970",,,,"UD1#[Assoc Ex Elim].Childr

Hi, Is there a way to set up dependant parameters, ie. Paramater value that depend on another parameter?The idea is that the user select a value  among a list in parameter A (which is not a dimension element), then the list in parameter B will be filtered based on what has been selected in Parameter A ( not dimension elements as well). Regards,
