Question

Narrative Reporting - Referencing Sheets from One Excel Workbook

Hello,

I am evaluating OneStream Narrative Reporting and have a couple of questions regarding functionality compared to Oracle's reporting solutions:

  1. When creating a Narrative Reporting book, is it possible to upload an Excel workbook containing multiple worksheets and then reference individual worksheets/tabs in different sections of the book? From what I can see, there does not appear to be an option to directly reference specific sheets from an uploaded workbook.

  2. Does OneStream Narrative Reporting support opening and editing reports directly in Excel similar to Oracle Smart View? In Oracle, users could work with Narrative Reporting content through the Excel add-in. I have not found an similar capability in OneStream and would like to understand the intended approach.

If these capabilities are not available, what are the recommended best practices for:

Creating a book which includes one Excel workbook with containing multiple sheets that need to be distributed through different sections?
