If I have data coming from a connector in OneStream, and then I submit a sheet having XfSetCell formulas, what values will remain in OneStream after consolidation (having the same dimensions intersection)? The data coming from the connector, or the data submitted via XfSetCell? Thanks!

Hi, I'd like to use the ClearStageData function within a business rule. I am already successfully using other similar functions like ExecuteParseAndTransform or LoadCube. This is the sample given within OneStream: Dim objLoadTransformProcessInfo As LoadTransformProcessInfo = BRApi.Import.Process.ClearStageData(si, wfClusterPk, sourceId)   The issue I have with the ClearStageData function is that I don't understand what I should pass as sourceId. Can any of you clarify it or point me to any relevant documentation? Thank you

OS Version 7.4.2I have a SQL Table Editor in a dashboard.  Three columns: Date, Amount, Descr.  The user can edit Amount and Descr. No Inserts, no deletes.The table loads with a bunch of dates.  The user fills in amounts in records where needed. The descr and amount columns both accept nulls.With the "Save Data Server Task" set to "No Task", when an amount is added to one record (or several), and save is clicked, the following error occurs:With the "Save Data Server Task" set to "Execute Dashboard Extender Business Rule", I specify a Rule and get the same "Wrong Number of database rows" error.If I use the SQL Table Editor code supplied by OneStream in the Rule, the error in the log is:I'm trying another version of this which omits the use of the Using block. Same "Wrong Number of database rows" error and the log just shows "Unknown Error"  Public Class MainClass Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByV

Hello,We have received a question from a client's audit team and was hoping someone could point to any documentation regarding this as I've searched but couldn't find anything. Does anyone, OneStream or otherwise, have access to the default 'Administrator' account that is in OneStream applications? It seems like it is used to run the automated tasks like taking system diagnostic snapshots. Just need to know if anyone can access the account or if it is really just for system tasks. Thanks.

Hello, I'm currently trying to build a CV for my team. In the column filter I have time as the first member filter and account as the second member filter, but when I put as my account name A#None:Name(" ") it still gives a the WF Time. Is there a way to make it show as blank? Sort of like the account? I have a parameter created where it makes the background and text to be the same color and I would think it would also make everything show as blank, but it doesn. This is the parameter for the blank row Thanks, Will

Dear Team, I'm trying to use 2023 time member, to see all YTD values till today, but it seems to be empty.It doesn't make sense as we reported Jan-Apr figures. I have made a consolidation on T#2023 member, but it doesn't change anything. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Well, I actually have a question about this, but the subject starting with "Fict or Fiction" sounded cool to me. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that in a future of OS, a limited web access will be restored, especially for those remote users inputting a small set of data in remote places in big organizations (e.g. accounting companies doing the book keeping for small remote subsidiaries of big organizations that are not really interested in installing and dealing with OS application for such a small task). But now I can't see anything about it. And I have the feeling I dreamed about it. Is this thing planned? By the way, I have some clients still running old versions where web access is possible. For me and few other people working there, navigation via web browser is incredibly much faster than with the OS windows application. Basically each click opens a page (e.g. dimensions or any standard page) nearly immediately, while at all other clients with OS applicaton, this takes from 1 s

Hi,Can we create a database table in OneStream Cloud that we can customize with our own data/columns and run report of? Any document that I can refer to?Thanks in advance,Mikki  

We have some CubeView reports that are driven by parameters.  They are all working.   But it would be nice if the default value could be derived from the users POV - workflow or otherwise.  Can this be done?

Hello All,We have created a weekly forecast dashboard for our users (weeks are mapped as scenario, e.g. Week1, Week2 etc.) and intend to restrict them to current week scenarios only to avoid posting to a wrong one.Currently we use parameter, where users select the current week from a drop down and input data, Is it possible to provide them access only to the relevant scenario (week) instead of giving them a drop down, without admins having to make changes every week?

Hello,We are currently building our workflows and don't understand the difference between pre-process and process. we have forms built out and we hit save to send the data through so I'm not understanding why they are needed and what is the difference? We have a process button at import as well so why would we have to pre-process in the review/form step of our workflow.  

Hello everyone,I'm making a cubeview and want to put in a formula to show the inverse of our currency rates. Is there a formula I can do like using a get data cell or something similar that could work?Thanks,Will

Hi there,I'm testing out the capabilities of OneStream for a PoC. Is there any way for a front-end user to add new members to, e.g., an account dimension through a component of a dashboard? Ideally using a variable specified within the dashboard.In the example screenshot, I want to enter a name in the text box, press the green button, and have the specified name added to the dimension of the cube view below.Thanks!! 🙂

Dear Community, In the above image "Results Table Name" located in the Data Adapter for a SQL Query is accessible? The Data Adapter still runs even though if we aren't giving any table name in the alias. Is it only for the naming convention? Or whether it's accessible/stored in the Application Database Tables/System Database Tables under System tab? Any solution to this will be really helpful. Thanks. 

The below code copy the Prior Period FX Rates from one Type to Another. This will read the currency from the application properties. I have hard coded the Period but you can use WF or Global or Param and call in the DM/Dashboard.       'Get the Period Dim CurrentPeriod As String = "2021M1" Dim PriorPeriod As String = "2020M12" 'Get Currency from properties Dim objAppProperties As AppProperties = BRApi.Utilities.GetApplicationProperties(si) Dim currency() As String = objAppProperties.CurrencyFilter.Split(",") 'Add FX rates For Each c As String In currency Dim fxRatePkUsingNames As New FxRatePkUsingNames("AverageRate", PriorPeriod, c.ToString, "USD") Dim objFxRateUsingNames As FxRateUsingNames = BRApi.Finance.Data.GetStoredFxRate(si, fxRatePkUsingNames) If objFxRateUsingNames.Amount > 0 Then Dim fxTargetRatePkUsingNames As New FxRatePkUsingNames("ActPriorMon", CurrentPeriod, c.ToString, "USD") Di

I have a combobox with a multiselect option enabled and it utilized by a data grid.  I've set up the User Interface Action to refresh the grid and it works fine.  However, it refreshes after each selection.  If the user wants to select 3 options, it will refresh 3 times.  Is there a way to only refresh once after all of the selections are done?

Hi All,I am trying to create a simple CV with one column set to T#POV.Prior12, T#POV (to get 13 rolling periods).   For Rows I have 3.  CurrentYear, Budget, and PriorYear.   On PriorYear row I am trying to over-ride the column to show the rolling 13 periods of prior.    I've been unable to get this to work.  It keeps returning the current year rolling 13 period data.I'm fairly new to OneStream.  Is there an easy way to complete this? CV Row template where I am trying to over-ride.CV Column: 

Dear Community, Can we export a hierarchy/hierarchies into a relational table? For an instance if I want to export the complete hierarchy of any Dimension into a table view format whether it will be possible?  I could see we have a Load/Extract to extract the metadata for a hierarchy, is there any other way to showcase or export into it in the form of tables? 

Hello All,We've created a cube view to which users can submit weekly numbers & commentary using excel cube view. The intention is to provide them with about 50 rows for commentary (Not all rows would be used each month). Hence, we intentionally want to keep blank rows without suppression for users to enter data. Is there a way for the blank rows to not automatically suppress? Every time we hit refresh all blank rows disappear.We tried to toggle suppression settings in preferences to 'False' but no luck. Any help is appreciated!

Do comments consolidate up to parent entities via new functionality or does the below method of creating a dynamic member need to be utilized in order to consolidate comments up to parent entities?Finance Dynamic Calc: Annotations Consolidations - OneStream Community (onestreamsoftware.com)

We have a dashboard with a button that displays a dialog for user entry.  The base dashboard has a cubeview that needs to refresh based on the values modified via BRApi.Finance.Data.SetDataCellsUsingMemberScript() calls.  We are using a XFSelectionChangedUIActionType.CloseDialog task result to close the user entry dialog.  Is there a way to programmatically refresh the base dashboard?  

I need to test if a workflow channel is locked in a BR before performing the BR actions.  Can I test if the channel is locked?  How?

Hi All,Ive got a problem with transformation/load cube workflow steps in our build, It has been in our applications for over six months (an older dev application has the same problem). This error doesn't seem to cause a problem in our data although may affect a dimension we put into our application for future use, I want to isolate it regardless. The error is an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object error" and doesn't actually stop the workflow step from completing, making it difficult to track exactly what is going wrong. It also doesn't flag when compiling all business rules being only apparent whilst running the rule. This error occurs on all the load/retransform steps I have tested although that doesn't help much as a lot of our transformation rules overlap.Id really like to know if there is a way of viewing which business rule is failing on running these processes but cannot fathom how, is there a way to do this? Thanks,Tom 

Hi,I want to use the XFMemberProperty in a cube view to call the number of no input periods in a scenario.  This isn't returning a number though or anything.  I get an error.XFMemberProperty(DimType=Scenario, Member=|WFScenario|, Property=NumberOfNoInputPeriodsPerWorkflowUnit))Has anyone had success with this?  I am not sure the property name to use here, what I have is a guess; variants of this didn't work either.Perhaps there is an easier way to get the last no input month into the time filter?  I want two columns, on would be the actuals YTD and include the T#YYYYM[number of no input periods], the second would use the same time filter but use the rest of periods in year time expansion.
