Reporting

Hi all,I'm 100% certain that I read somewhere that Version 8 would include a new XF function for Excel add-in that would allow us to drilldown on a cell whose data is retrieved via an XF function.However, now that we are upgrading to Version 8, I cannot find any information about that at all.  Even a search in the OneStream documentation does not show any XF function that allows this. If anyone has a link or more details about this expanded functionality, would you be kind enough to share that here?   Thanks in advance

We want to discourage users from always running the Refresh All Tabs button every time they open their workbook.   

I have a Cube View report in Guided Reporting where the user needs to be able to select from anywhere inside of the following three hierarchies. The hierarchies contain extensibility. I am running into an issue where the hierarchies are not appearing correctly, and member are missing in the 'List Selector' on Guided Reporting.I created my parameter to pull the tree views of all three entity hierarchies.I have confirmed that the Cube View parameter selection shows up as expected.When I try to select Entity in Guided Reporting, I see the following:The only items that are showing under the tree views are the members that do not have any extensibility. Output is showing its children, but it is not collapsable to the parent. If I switch the order over the tree views in the parameter, whichever is the last one listed has its members listed out like Output does in the screenshot. I have tried multiple different ways to write the parameter out and have been unsuccessful.Has anyone else ex

Recently, our client requested that the reports display descriptions associated with specific combinations of dimensions. These descriptions correspond to the unique combination of all dimensions and are provided in the data import file.How can we achieve this? Would creating a new dimension be a viable solution?What alternative approaches could we consider? Since the model is already built and this requirement was not initially specified, we're exploring the best way to address it. 

Has anyone been able to successfully obtain a parent name for a member, within a UD8 formula without needing to leverage a text field on the member (using Parent Sort Order for example)? As an example, I have a base level entity member of B1229 (this is Branch). I would like to return D1229 - Chicago based on its' parent sort order of 2 (this is District). Appreciate any insight!

Hi , I was wondering if i can have dynamic POV in a cubeview without BR. Is there possibility of condition in POV for example I can put a param scenario and say whenever Budget UD1= Model and if Actual it should be 1000.  

Hi team ,Good Day !I get the following error when i try to export the cubeview form in the excel format. Can some please help me on this please. Thank You 

Hi everyone, we come across an issue with the excel addin formula (XFGETCELL). Although all dimensions are specified in the formula, the result gets impacted by the settings of the Cube POV. Sometimes no values get retrieved, sometimes all cells with formulas show #Name or #Value. Uur expectation is that whatever is set in die Cube POV, the XFGETCELL formula retrieves the data based on the dimensions used in the formula. Does anyone of you have this issue as well? To my mind this is a bug in the excel addin. Regards Martin

Hello,I know you can center columns in a report, but is there a way to do this for cube views exporting to excel? I've only found a workaround where you go to export it to report and then change it to excel, but this won't work for us longterm.Would like to be able to do this - ok with either embedded or just exporting. 

I have attached multiple Cube views in one excel(Different sheets) through cube view connection. Here, i want to pull that consolidated excel file into Books. how can we achieve it. can you please help us to sort out this.    

OneStream Support team has submitted a Bug PF-33928 to Development team to Fix the XFGetCell Issue. Issue:XFGetCell formula shows zero (instead of blank) despite setting DisplayNoDataAsZero parameter to FALSE

XFGetCell formula shows zero (instead of blank) for despite setting DisplayNoDataAsZero parameter to FALSE

When I use a formula to set-up the time member, the XFGETCELL formula that refers to this time member is stuck in #REFRESH. The weird thing is, if I go in the XFGETCELL formula and hit enter without changing anything, when I refresh the sheet it works and gets a value, but next time I close excel, re-open, re-connect and refresh it's stuck once again in #REFRESH. If I hardcode the time I don't have this issue, or if I concatenate to a hardcoded number, it also works. As an example I have a list of 12 rows with numbers across 30 or so columns and a total at the end. The rows represents each month, so to get the last current month with numbers I use a formula (example countif) on the total column and then concatenate this to the year, so if I have data until October, I would get 10, so the formula returns 2021M10 for the current year and 2020M10 for the prior year. Is this an issue with the add-in itself where it is confused on the order the excel formulas are being calculated?

Hi All, Is there a maximum with regard to the datasources used in the BI viewer. I am not able to add more then 3 datasources? I currently use 3 cubeview MD    

  Hi, All -  I’ve developed a dashboard that includes a text box, parameter components, and other elements. Users can input a date and click a trigger button to fetch the data, using inbound parameters in the data adapter. The dashboard is supposed to default to a date value upon loading, but it’s not pulling the expected default from the parameter. Ideally, the dashboard should open without any issues, but instead, it’s throwing the following SQL error: "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string. (SQL Error Number -2146232060, 241)" Currently, the dashboard is not opening and displays the error above. The data adapter field value format for date is as shown below. I’ve tried various options for setting the default value in the dashboard parameter, but the issue persists.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions. thank you !        

Hi,  I am just wondering, is this a limitation of OneStream? Does the column member filter support only two levels? Are we unable to add additional levels beyond this? Thank you to those who will share their inputs.  

The dashboard visibility is set to "Always" and the security access group is set to "everyone". If I select the dashboard in Oneplace to open, it brings me this error. Could this be related to the workflow not being set accordingly (permissions, data, etc)?  

 Hello, has anyone come across this message using Report Viewer? The export function is not an option when selecting the "View Report" icon. 

Hi everyone, Good day. We are new to OneStream, and we are building a cube view wherein it outputs quarterly columns for a certain year. However, it only outputs the last period/month for the quarter. For example, under the Q1 Appliances, it shows 305,221,004. But, if I drill down on quarter 1, I can see that the amount per month when totaled, it is equivalent to 607,036,638. This also applies to the 2024 column, it only shows the Q4 value and not the sum of all quarters. I already tried to consolidate and calculate, but it is still the same.  Thank you for those who will share their inputs.   

We are on OS v7.4 and moving over to OS v8.5. We have both versions up and running as we move over. While running QVs using the Spreadsheet module within the app and setting the Data Style to "Comma [0]" in both, it appears correctly in v7.4 with negative numbers displaying as (100) but in v8.5 it shows as -100. Same thing if we pick "Currency [0]". (see screenshots below) Is there a chance that the default style didn't make it into OS v8? OR, is there a place/menu to modify this default style without creating a Custom style? We noticed this happening in version 8.4 as well, but we upgraded to 8.5 and it is still having this issue. Thanks!Currency [0] 

Hi Our YE reporting pack is based on a book which retrieves a Word document (table of contents etc.) followed by a number of CVs (financials). The page references in the table of contents is static. I would like to Supress Zeros in all the CV, which would place the CVs on different pages, depending on which entity runs the book. Therefore, I would like to explore if there is a way to use dynamic page references, e.g. by putting a reference to which page a certain CV would be placed. For reference, we are currently on v7.3 but upgrading to v8.5 within long. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am new to building cubes in OS, I am attempting to build a calculated column based on data from two other columns, I have created a nested member which correctly brings in all the data. When I attempt do use GetDataCell I return errors that it cannot find my named Column. In the screenshot you can see the member filters (highlighted are the same rows) Here you can see the output when I run the cube view. Please let me know if I cannot reference in this way and how I may solve the problem

I would like to know more about this workaround. In our company, some users utilize the PDF view option to send their reports, not only within the company but also for SOX controls. Therefore, it is important for us to continue using the PDF view in OneStream 7.4v. Questions: Does this workaround impact only dashboards, or does it also affect Cube View reports? We have only been given the option to remove PDF. Is there a possibility of an upgrade to continue using PDF?   Thank you! Laura 

Hello, I am facing a problem in making dynamic names for BI-viewer. I have a data adapter with Command type as Cube view. I am using this adapter in BI-viewer. I want to make the column names similar in cube view.  For example, in my scenario I have columns changing according to the time.  but here it will show as Col0Value, Col1Value. As per cube view headers, Col0 is 2024M1 and Col1 is 2024M2 and this will change according to time updated for next periods. It will not be same every time. How to get the same names as per cube view into BI-viewer column list.     

Hi all, I am trying to divide 3 different rows in one Getdatacell formula and I am getting an error saying this: Is this even possible?  If not, is there another solution?
