How to make Direct process blank columns like Standard?- Keep actuals in Q1 '25/prior periods in OS Data Cubes TY.

I'm using attribute members, unfortunately on the entity dimension, so the associated data is stored and not dynamically calculated on Parent Entities. These attributes members do not translate to foreign currencies during the consolidation process ! I'm using a 'Custom Translation', and when I execute the method 'Api.Data.Calculate()' or 'Api.Data.CalculateForTranslation()' the attribute cells do not translate.The only way I was able to actually convert them is by using Data Buffers and forcing the conversion.Is there a reason why ADC methods do not translate attributes ? Is there a hidden property to activate in order to take these members into account ? Should I use 'Api.Data.Translate()' instead of ADC ?Thanks

I would like to return a sum of all rows in my cube view but using the 'sum of rows' is only returning the first result for every account under the main hierarchies I'm calling. This is the literal statement I would like to sum -GetDataCell(A#BALANCE_SHEET.Base.Remove(A#32000).Where(AccountType DoesNotContain 'Liability') - A#BALANCE_SHEET.Base.Remove(A#32000).Where(AccountType = 'Liability') - A#32000:F#BegBal - A#INCOME_STATEMENT.Base.Where(AccountType = 'Revenue') + A#INCOME_STATEMENT.Base.Where(AccountType DoesNotContain 'Revenue'))Has anyone done something similar through an XFBR string? 

Dear all, Could you please advise what type of scenario is better to use for FastClose (first version of actual financial statement numbers, which we want to keep separately)?  

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to get an extracted list of all artifacts within an environment by artifact types such as business rules, transformation rules, cube view names. I am only interested in getting the names/metadata of each artifact and not the actual data from the artifact. I would like to put these in an excel workbook.  Thanks! Manuel

I have a home page that has a button that takes you to guided reporting. I want it to use guided reporting where the user left off - how it works when you are normally in guided reporting alone. When I click the button it keeps setting Guided Reporting back to having the choose the report group. Is there a step I'm missing when linking guided reporting to a home page?

My team has a requirement for a CV report to show the last 4 trailing quarters and all 3 months of the current quarter.  I was able to achieve this, however when the time period is the first or second month of the quarter, I would like to show only those completed months.  For example, if the period is July I would want my months columns to be June & July.  Currently I am using T#Quarter(|POVTime|).MonthsInQuarter which is showing Jun-Jul-Aug.  Is there any function that is able to do this?  Thanks!

Hello everyone,We are currently building a solution. Where we try to only pull the PlainText from a RichText component. Currently we got in our research two solutions proposed: Regex solution, which is prone to errors as we need to cather for various cases and exceptionsRichTextBox() functionality, that seems to do what we want as standard (see below) that but that throws an errorSeems this function is not used/available anymore in v8. Does anybody knows if it's possible to use this still in v8 via some additional set up in the app ? Or if we would have a corresponding similar rule in v8 environement ? Alternatively, would you have any suggestions as to how easily manipulate and extract plain text out of rich text object's code ?Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello OS CommunityI am trying to compile a BR associated with a transformation rule, but it shows me the following error:Do you know how to resolve this issue?

Hi community, For one of our clients we are looking for the following. - We create 52 weekly scenario with each their own start and end period setting in the workflow start time and workflow end time. For example we have the scenario CFF_2022W01 which has a workflow start time as 2022W1 and a workflow end time as 2022 W39. For example the scenario CFF_2022W02 which has a workflow start time as 2022W2 and a workflow end time as 2022 W39 etc.  How can we get a list of members of the range within the start and end time in the scenario. So for example based on the CFF_2022W01 scenario it should return in the list 2022W1, 2022W2 up until 2022W39. For CFF_2022W02 it should return in a list 2022W2, 2022W3 up until 2022W39.There is also the example when the periods run across years. So for example the scenario CFF_2022W27 has a workflow start time of 2022W27 and end time of 2023W13. The list should then return 2022W27, 2022W28 up until 2022W52 plus also 2023W1 up

If a user is part of a security group with the below "Data Cell Access Security" filters, does that mean they would only have access to "Ent_3200"?  For some reason this user is still able to see all base entities however they are still restricted from TOP? Why would the "E#TOP" filter be correctly restricted, but E#top.base not be restricted?

We have noticed that BI Blend drop tons of lines during the import and does not log any error. We took few not loaded entries and try to load to table again but getting below error.  Just few lines of data. Tried to play around with Agg properties but could not find any solution. Summary: BI-Blend base data does NOT match any Aggregation Base Members.

Hello, everyone, Could you please advise where (in what folder) all attachments to journals are stored in OneStream?   

I am building a report that uses a nested parameter.  This report will run on a dashboard within Guided Reporting if it makes any difference. My parameters are Member List types. EntityParam1 uses a member filter of E#Corporate.ChildrenInclusive. This is controlled by a combo box on the dashboard. Let's pretend the user selects E#Legal as the value for the combo box, one of the children of E#Corporate.EntityParam2 has a member filter of |!EntityParam1!|.ChildrenInclusive.ChildrenThe member filter I want it to return is E#Legal.ChildrenInclusive.ChildrenWhen I run this nested parameter, it runs E#Corporate.ChildrenInclusive.ChildrenInclusive.Children, which throws an error at some point.  How can I use EntityParam1 to only return the E#Legal member for my nested filter?I would think the answer lies within a literal parameter but haven't found a method that automatically uses the selected value of my first parameter. Thanks in advance.
