I've been going through some training material on DCS for a use case that requires frequent changes in a dimension (UD3 - SKU). Because of this, I'm considering dynamic dimensions where the SKU can be written and generated via code. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything that supports writing data from a cube view. I've only found material that says the "Dynamic Cube" needs to have the share and edit feature turned on.Question - Is it even possible to create a cube, use a dynamic dimension as one of its dimensions, write allocation calcs to allocate data to SKU level and be able to modify that data using cube views?If not, what is the best way to handle this use case without having to create another non-dynamic SKU dimension.

Hello,We are experiencing an intermittent Genesis error.All default values appear to be correctly configured, but the error is triggered for some users and not for others, even when they have the same security roles and access rights. The issue is also not tied to a specific report, as it can occur on different reports depending on the user.Has anyone encountered a similar issue?Example error message:We also noticed that when we remove the link between the Content and Main workspaces, the issue is resolved. However, this workaround does not work for all affected users.Thank you for your help.

I have a situation where I'm trying to load trial balances from QuickBooks. The source file I'm receiving has three comma-separated columns - Account+Description, Debit, Credit.QuickBooks has a quirky output format where some debit balances are shown as "$-" (presumably to represent 0.00), leaving the credit column blank.  If there is a credit value in the credit column, the debit column is blank.  This is messing with OneStream's numeric processing of the Amount column when Amount is mapped to Column 2 (Debit column). It is rejecting the "$-" field values and the blank field values as Non-Numeric Amounts (verified in the XFL log file for the load).I can successfully replace '$-' with 0 using the Substitute Settings in the data source's Amount dimension, but I cannot figure out how to replace 'no value' in the Debit column with 0 (so that the valid Credit column values don't get skipped).  I'm using a Parser Business Rule to return the net amount (debit column 2 minus cr

I’m working on a Cube View where one of the rows is a calculated row (using CVR / GetDataCell to derive the value from other rows). The users want to be able to enter comments directly in the Cube View in a column that appears “in front of” (or next to) this calculated row.Has anyone implemented comments or text entry against a calculated row like this?Specifically, I’m trying to understand:Whether it’s possible to add comments to a CVR-based calculated row (where the numeric data is not stored, only calculated at runtime).If not directly, what design patterns are recommended?Any examples of Cube View layout or member/filter tricks that let you show a calculated row and a comment entry cell side by side for that row.Environment is OneStream version 8.5.3, and this is a standard Cube View used for reporting (not a custom dashboard).Thanks in advance for any ideas or examples.

In LIM WF model, I have created register with only 7 fields, Start Date, End Date, Entity, Employee id, Position id, FTE and Base Salary.Created two accounts FTE and Base Salary to copy data to people cube.Now when I am trying to add row, it is not adding any data in but its not showing in register. If i check database table I can see data.Earlier I have uninstalled LIM and WF multiple times to check if the issue gets resolved but still in same place. Any help will be good.  

Is there an interface from Dynamics 365 into OneStream?  I have seen some comments mention direct connection with D365 using oData API.  We have several business units across the world that will need to push month end data from D365.  Is there a way they can just push the data from their end or would it have to come from OneStream to get the data?

What does this error mean?   It is a new Genesis instance, with only the menu and one link to existing dashboard. Regards Ole 

Hi,Is there a way to paste values from Excel into an empty cube view? I get read only cells with pink background. I tried already to use A#NoneAny help is appreciated.

Hi Folks,  Wondering if anyone has built a BR or query to compile a list of Users and their Default Home Page.  I know its in the UserAppSettings.xml File within File Explorer under Internal/User, and you can set individuals through the Admin Solution Tools, however I have not found a good way to See what is already set without going to each user individually (that would not be very practical). Appreciate any help! Stephanie

Hi there,We have one Business Rule that reorganize some security groups adding/removing Parent Groups based on a certain hierarchy, however, we are facing the issue that when the user executing this Business Rule belongs to a group that is being reorganized, we get the following error message:"Security Access Error. You cannot add/remove yourself or a group that you belong to or an Administrators group to/from the current group."That error is perfectly reasonable, but we need to find a way to bypass that.In other softwares exists the possibility to execute a Job as a different user (usually non-interactive) which has the required security configuration to ensure the process is executed successfully.How can we achive that same result in OneStream?Thank you!Bests,

Hi,I am using OneStream version 8.2 and the Excel Add-In with a workbook that contains XFGetCell formulas. The workbook retrieves data successfully, and Refresh Workbook works as expected.However, the Calculate, Translate, and Consolidate buttons in the OneStream ribbon are disabled (grayed out). I am logged in successfully and can retrieve data through XFGetCell formulas, but I cannot perform any processing actions from Excel.Could anyone help me understand:What conditions must be met in OneStream 8.2 for the Calculate, Translate, and Consolidate buttons to become enabled?Is there any way to trigger Calculate, Translate, or Consolidate from Excel when working with XFGetCell-based templates?Thank you!

Our users are wanting to know how many applications are in each environment, then show the applications under each environment by clicking on the environment, plus the ability to enter a comment next to the application. Similar to the Cloud Admin Tool, Applications on top, user would click the environment, the grid would then show the applications. A text field next to the application name where they could input a comment. Any thoughts on how this could be done? Appreciate it in advance!

Is there any way to calculate Headcount where I will use start Data and end date of Current period. If the difference is more than 1 then my HC is 1, I cannot use current period end date in Formula, I tried IIF (DateDiff(month, start date, Current Period)>1,1,0) but it is not giving me any result

Hi, is there a way to download an updated GolfStream version? I like to use it to reference different formulas, dashboards, features etc. but things break every time we upgrade our version....Rather than filing a ticket and modifying rules manually behind the scenes, I think it would be helpful to have an updated one issued by OneStream.  I reviewed this forum and checked the Solution Exchange to no avail. Sometimes I just need help "getting started" with an idea that I've seen in a demo or solution and using Golfstream is a solid reference.  

There was a similar request related to POV, deployed in Release 7.2, where when people search for Dimensions in POV, they can push 'Enter' and it returns search values. This does not work under Cube views and Guided reporting. It would save time if it was available in there as well. Generally using 'Enter' on the keyboard should work for all type of searches across the system.

Hi all,I'm wondering if there's a way to incrementally load a TreeView.I know how to load it in one shot but what if it's supposed to contains a lot of data ? Is there a way to load it incrementally, when a node is clicked (loading the leafs belonging to the node itself and the 1st level nodes under the clicked one) ? Thanks in advanceFabioG 

Hello everyone! Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but I am creating a very simple home page using the Genesis Home Page. Creating buttons to go to Dashboards or Workflows was not an issue, but I cannot figure out how to get the buttons to work to navigate to a document or website. Below is how I was attempting to do it. If anyone has any advice on what I am missing, it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.  

Hi Team, Generally we can export the cube view to an Excel. But when we attached the Cube view to the Dashboard through cube view component. at the time we wont find the export option. Can you please advise us. how export a dashboard(Cube view attached to dashboard).

We used to be able to reference and retrieve the RPTA Audit Reports from the Guided Reporting Solution. After we upgraded the RPTA to Navigation Center, we are unable to retrieve the Single Journal Detail Report from the Guided Reporting or our custom homepage dashboard. See the prompt box displayed in the Guided Reporting when retrieving the Single Journal detail report:  

Hi Team,My validation step failed because the source mapping is missing for blank records. I attempted to add a mapping with (blank) for the source value and None for the target value, but it didn’t work. How should blank source values be handled in the mapping? Can you please help me with this if anyone face similar issue ? Thank you  

I have a bi blend based on cube view md. I have an issue with the Year total. The value is exaggerated as I have millions and not billions and because of this the height bars of the months is short. Does anyone have a clue on how to have the correct values?Thanks.

Hi everyone !We'd like to recover data in a date format using Quick Views.First step is to setup a CubeView that can recover this data. To do so, the CubeView setup is done in "Cell Type = Date " in the Data tab of the given line on the CubeView definition. Setup of cell type in CubeViewThen data can be correctly input in the CubeView:Possible selection when data is type "Date".This particular date is saved as 639,160,344,000,000,000 (numeric value) in the data base.Next step it to recover this data using the quickview, but I can't get the correct style. It seems that the data in Onestream is different to that of the Excel date style (Excel starts from 1/1/1900 as day 1).Set up of the style in a given quick viewDoes anyone know how to properly set up the style to recover dates using a QuickView?Thank youCarlos  

Hi all!  Anyone know of the best way to report on security changes made to an entity? I can't seem to figure out the right table or the right member property that shows the security updates made to a member so any direction would be greatly appreciated!  Full disclosure - also have a OS support ticket out there and patiently waiting :) 

Hi,I ran into an issue that a data buffer rule does not work in a workspace assembly but does work in the Business Rules area.  The data buffer rule is the one found in this forum topic and is relatively simple.  See link.Question: Is there an option to clear non-calculated data in a “bulk” (as known from hs.clear) other than looping through the data buffer and use “SetDataCell” (which has a higher performance impact)? The “ClearCalculatedData“ is not impacting input/imported data – right? | OneStream CommunityI have this rule in an existing custom calculate rule in the assembly and the rule fails to get the source data buffer.  I take this same rule and include it in a new Business Rule and it runs fine.Rules that work in the business rules should work in assemblies also.
