Reporting

Hi,Anyone on Version 8 who's actually tried to use this 'enhancement' feature in Cube Views?  We requested this on Ideastream a long time ago with a lot of support. I can see this command is now available in the header format dialog; however, it would appear that the only thing it does is change the header from left justified to center view.  There does not seem to be a way to actually 'merge' column headers, despite the fact that it's called "MergeAndCenter". Even the system documentation appears to confirm this behavior. Someone please tell me I'm missing something here and it actually is possible to merge column headers, because we really really wanted this feature. Thanks

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 everyone,I'm building a Balance Sheet report in the Text Editor. For various reasons, I have two separate CubeViews: one for Assets and another for Liabilities & Equity.I've placed both CubeViews inside a table within the Text Editor (one per cell, side by side), trying to display them in the classic balance sheet layout — Assets on the left, Liabilities & Equity on the right.However, I'm having trouble getting them to render correctly next to each other.Has anyone done this before? Is a two-cell table in the Text Editor the right approach, or is there a better/recommended way to place two CubeViews side by side in a single report?Any tips or examples would be greatly appreciated.Thanks! 

Hello,  I'm responding to audit requests regarding user task activities and found an active user which has no task activity logged. The user uses the Excel Add-in. What Excel activities are/aren't recorded on the Task Activity log? Is there a way to capture the Excel activities?  Thanks! 

Hi,I can figure out how to solve problem with cell format in column ShowCurrency=True (in Cube View) to work in Excel export? Any ideas how to fix this? I want to have it both in Excel and PDF export.  In Excel formatting I cannot see any settings that I can use. Maybe some kind of combination in ExcelNumberFormat that can be used? Currency is depended on accounts etc. Thanks for your help,Pia

  Hi Is it possible to change the blue, green and red color? Is it possible to add a value     

I have created a quick view template file, but each time I launch it, the font gets changed to a light gray. This obviously makes it difficult to see and I need to reformat it afterwards. Here is a sample: My QV has "preserve excel formatting" enabled, so I am uncertain what is causing a formatting override. I have tried different primary styles, but it does not stop the format from overriding after closing and reloading the spreadsheet. Here are my options: Has anyone else experienced the same issue or have any insight into how I may fix it?

I'm building a cube view column that shows combined annotations from descendants. I'm calling an Finance Cell Service BR from inside GetDataCell so I can pass dashboard params needed for the logic. GetDataCell(T#|CVTime|:BR#[BRName=..., FunctionName=CombinedComment, Flux_ID = {fluxID}]:U8#{ud8}):Name({ud8} Combined). I need to the UD8 POV member because that distinguishes what type of comment it is (CMvsPM, CQvsPQ, CMvsPYM, Ect...). The BR returns a String, but GetDataCell expects a numeric amount so the text doesn't render in the cell. Pointing the column at V#Annotation doesn't help either.Has anyone gotten BR-returned text to display in a GetDataCell with full POV/param context? Thanks,Ben

 

Hi all,I’m currently upgrading instances of Genesis-created workspaces and ran into an issue.The workspace named "Genesis" was upgraded successfully. However, the ones with different names are failing and returning the error below.For example, one of the affected workspaces is named "Landing Page." I’m not sure if the naming is related to the issue, but it’s the main difference I’ve noticed so far.Has anyone encountered something similar or knows how to resolve this? I’d really appreciate any guidance. 

I have some users who like to view a report in actual currency and others in 000's.  Is there a way a user can change the number format of each report?

Hello,To standardize the look and feel of my dashboards, I would like to create a reusable dashboard template for a toolbar. The Menu component seems well suited for this purpose. However, some actions (for example, Save) cannot be defined at the menu item level and are only available at the menu component level.As a workaround, I am using Event Listeners: each menu item sends a parameter value, which is then used as the Event Listener name. This allows me to have one menu item that performs a Save action, another that launches a business rule, another that opens a dialog, etc.This approach works fine until the Custom Control dashboard is embedded in a Dynamic Dashboard. The issue can be easily reproduced by embedding the dashboards described in this blog post into a dynamic dashboard.Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

hi folks,When trying to edit some new blocks I've added in Genesis, I'm getting the error "Unable to find the Workspace Assembly Service Factory class for name 'WSMU' in Workspace 'Genesis' and Maintenance Unit 'X'"any idea why? I'm getting the error when i try to load a 'cube view basic' or 'embedded label' so far, in a card in a row in an advanced formatting block

I am trying to submit zero via excel add-in using XFGetCell formula into MTD/periodic view.  Excel/Spreadsheet does not seem to allow it.  I can put in zero into the same POV via a data form. The only workaround I have is to submit a 0.0001 record into OS via excel XFGetCell formula instead.   Is there any proper change in setting that would allow me to do this?  

I have a cubeview with a header row returning no data for all my time period columns (correct) but returning (100.0)% for columns where I'm calculating percent variances. Is there a way to make those columns blank as well for my header row?   

Hello All, Is there a way to obtain hierarchical view of dimension(s) in BI Viewer components (like pivot grid) when you use Cube View MD as a source ? In other words not to have all members of dimension(s) as flat but still to have the parents of the dimension displayed as totals (as it would be displayed in a CV) Thank you Matthieu

Our two environments are currently on different OneStream versions. DEV is on 9.1.1 and PROD is 8.4.4. We have an upgrade scheduled to get them in sync soon.  However, currently facing a parameter resolving and passing issue while trying to migrate some functionality from DEV to PROD.  All setups are now equal between the two applications for the workspace that I moved over to PROD. However, I believe version 8.4.4 is having some trouble resolving parameters being passed to a button click that I have on the same dashboard. I have a button whose "Selection Changed Server Task" is set to "Execute Data Management Sequence" and "Selection Changed Server Task Arguments" is set to "{FilteredForecastRollforward_ButtonRan}{SelectedContracts=[|!param_SelectContracts!|]}".  Within 9.1.1 DEV this data management sequence runs no problem an receives the value of "Contract1" upon logging. However, in 8.4.4 PROD this parameter is not resolving properly and comes as "|!SelectedContract

Hi everyone, I’ve developed a report using Cube Views and noticed the following behavior with keyboard navigation: The Tab key moves right and then wraps to the next row The Arrow keys move in their respective directions and wrap at the boundaries When navigation reaches the end of the report, it continues by jumping back to the beginning and starts again from the top. Is there a way to stop this wrap-around behavior at the report boundaries?Is there any property setting to control or disable this? Thanks in advance,Archana

Hi everyone,I need to add a button to a dashboard to allow users to export to csv or txt some data from the staging area, specifically from dbo.vStageSourceAndTargetDataWithAttributesI tried multiple approaches using a dashboard extender but cannot find the right way to do that.Has anyone done that before and has any suggestion or best practice to do it (even without using a BR)?Thank you for the help!

Hi all,my client is loading in OS Actual data in MTD.I set up a cube view to show the actuals MTD month by month. If the user loads the first 3 months, the cv correctly shows the MTD for the first 3 months, but for the 4th month it shows the YTD with inverted sign:If I understand correctly, this setup should be configurable by intervening on the following WF Profile settings:I also changed the following setting in the scenario configuration:nevertheless, the cv keeps showing the inverted YTD in the new month.Can anyone explain why?Thank you!

Hi everyone, I'm curious if there is any information on how to use the dynamic parameters in the dynamic dashboard service. I've created a form is dynamically generated from a SQL query - essentially the query results contain the text I want to display next to the component, the type of component, the bound parameter for the component, etc. I also have a field for "list of values" that I'd like to use as the display and value items for the bound parameter for Combo Box components. Here's a screenshot of the table that holds this information: Right now when I generate the form, parameters bound to text boxes don't have to exist in the maintenance unit and I can use these parameters to collect data and save to a table I created on the database. For the combo box parameters, however, I currently have to create those in the maintenance unit. It feels like there should be a way I can fetch the display and value items based on my List of Values column for a dynamically generated parameter,

The background fill color on the header is not filling the entire space when viewed in PDF. You can see on four of the six columns there is white space where the text is shorter. I need the teal color to fill to the bottom of the header space, and not just exist where the text is located. It works fine in excel and cube view. The issue only exists in report PDFs. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this? Report/PDF: Excel:  Cube View: Here's an example of a PDF that looks good because the length of the header text is more comparable across the columns:   I'm sure there's a way to accomplish this through a Custom Report Formatting rule or formula. I'm trying to avoid this, as I feel the formatting should already default to what I want. But, if I have to go this route, I will. Thanks in advance!

Hello,  I currently have a cube where I am having an issue calculating variances.  The row has GetDataCell(CVR(Row1)+CVR(Row2)) and Column is has T#POV, T#POVPrior12, GetDatacell(T#Pov-T#POVPrior12).  When I run the report, the first two columns run correctly for T#POV and T#POVPriorYear, but the third column where the two get data cells meet does not calculate correctly. I can't get it to work on a column override either as I know there is a order of operation for the GetDataCell. I want to keep the report as dynamic as possible, is there a way this can be achieved without breaking the columns out and manually doing the overrides?

My team has recently been unable to save offline copies of Excel files that contain XFGetCells + CubeViews. Prior to this, we had no issues and had saved 100+ files offline as part of quarterly reporting. I have seen prior threads where this has been discussed some time ago, and our team has tried updating preferences, saved elsewhere, etc. with no luck. Is anyone else currently having this issue? 

We are trying to update a table in External DB using SQL table editor. But we are getting below error.
