OneStream Platform Forums

Hi,I'm trying to set the number format in the Cube Views for negative numbers with gaps instead of a minus.The User culture is in Spanish because I need the decimals with the comma.I don't find how can I customize the format for that because N1 is not an option because the negative numbers appear with a minus.Thanks,

While not on the list of Reserved Words, I was wondering if Member should be avoided in Dimensions and Dimension Names? Could using it cause any unwanted downstream effects?

HI All, I have been asked to see if OneStream can take a feed in to update the metadata. We are looking at having a Master Data Management system which will be used to update all the downstream systems. SO new accounts, entities or dimension members get created in this MDM system and then ideally gets automatically updated into OneStream (either mapping tables or Metadata hierarchy updates). Has anyone tried to do this ? Thanks Tahir

I am looking to implement an incremental data extraction feature for our cube data. Specifically, I need to extract all data from inception and continue to do so on a quarterly basis, including any updates to previous quarters. Any ideas or best practices on how to achieve this effectively would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Team, Can any one help on this. I have text in the cells, so based on my text have to apply the conditional formatting. if my cell has "YES" text then should be Green color, if my cell has "NO" text then should be in RED color.  Can any one please help us to get the result.

Hello - I need to get the most recent Property change on our UD1's. I'm assuming I need to get the AuditTime from the AuditMemberProperty table.  Would I use this function? If so, how do I find the textPropertyIndex value?  BRApi.Finance.UD.Text(si, dimTypeId, memberId, textPropertyIndex, varyByScenarioTypeId, varyByTimeId)  Your help is much appreciated!  Thank you!  

Is there a way I can check my source records before importing data into a stage? If I am in a workflow for Import, Validate and Load, Even before the data is imported, I would like to check my source record for a condition like if it is less than a particular value. Only if the condition satisfies, I need to proceed to import else stop the workflow. If someone has done it, can you share the setup and code for the same. Appreciate your help!

I have a UD8 dynamic calculation that returns different results based on the UD2 member value. E.g. If UD2 = Houston, return "A#:Total_Expenses:S#Plan...." This works well using api.pov.UD2.Name for normal member intersections, but it's not applying correctly for GetDataCell calculations. By using the Cell POV button on the cube view, I can see that the GetDataCell rows have a POV set to the cube view POV. How can I have my Dynamic Calc read the UD2 value inside the GetDataCell?There is only one UD2 member referenced inside the GetDataCell. The GetDataCell format is as follows: GetDataCell(A#Total_Expenses:S#Actual:U2#Texas - A#Operating_Expenses:S#Actual:U2#Texas):name(Net Texas)

Good Day,In order to implement Org-by-period Consolidation, you need to set the Consolidation View to Periodic so that the correct Share for e.g. the income statement can be calculated for only the period for which an entity was consolidated to a parent.The guidance is clear that "When Consolidation View is set to Periodic and no data is loaded to the IC Accounts fora specific month, custom Elimination rules are required". I assume this is because of built in zero suppression settings on the Elimination data buffer.However, here is what is strange to me and I'm not sure if I'm missing something.When setting the Consolidation View to Periodic and note that No Data Zero View is set to YTD as data is loaded YTD, for any entity, there is a problem with eliminations as follows:When loading 100 000 in January, the full 100 000 is eliminated. If you load 100 000 again YTD in February, nothing gets eliminated. If you load e.g. 100 000.01 YTD in February, then the full amount gets eliminated ag

Hello All, I have a case where I need to show workflow assigned entities into dashboard using Data Adapter method query. For example: Base Input WF Entity assignment Workflow1 Site1, site2 Workflow2 Site3 Workflow3 Site4, Site5, Site6 So, whenever I am selecting workflow1, the entities assigned to this workflow should list and come as output. Kindly help to advise some options here. Thank you.

Is there any way to read data from Onestream cube (.csv/.txt/Data Table) and push it to external system using external Web API connection (Not Onestream Rest API, SFTP)? Is it possible to do it using SIC?

Dear all, We have a case in which the client needs several copies of the same CV in excel, but having different parameters (selecting an account node) for each CV. Is it possible?We know that defining the parameter internally in an excel file helps to avoid asking for that parameter again.We tried to put 1 CV connection per sheet and one parameter per sheet, but it seems that only the 1st parameter is read and then updates all CV connections following this 1st set parameter. Do you have any idea how to deal with this in order to keep different parameters for each CV connection?Thank you for the help.Best regards,Carlos

We use the REST api to retrieve balances from our accounting consolidations in onestream.   I've noticed that for the current year, these account balances can be retrieved quickly. But for prior years, it takes a lot longer to retrieve them.  For example, I can run cubeviews against the 2024 data and get ten branches in about 80 seconds.  But if I run the exact same cubeviews against 2023 or 2022, then it gets increasingly slower (160 seconds for the same ten branches in 2022). Is there some reason on principal why the balance data would take so much longer to retrieve in past fiscal years?  Is the cubeview doing some sort of dynamic calculation to retrieve balances?  (maybe it is incrementally subtracting activity from balances in 2024, and that dynamic calculation takes longer as we report further back in time)? We are running OS 8.2.2.16127. The difference in execution time seems specific to G/L balances.  For G/L activity (the movement of the acco

Since many federal organizations utilize Active Directory at the Enterprise level, is there a way to tie Active Directory management to OS? For example, if a user's AD account gets disabled, so does their OS account? When a user's AD account is created in the particular OU, their OS account is created to the correlating group? Thanks. 

We tried to copy from test environment to development environment which failed. we emailed Onestream who gave the following response: 'Thank you for logging this request with us. It looks like the app copy failed out due to a lack of storage space in your Prd1 environment. You can view the applications in your Prd environment by using the System Diagnostic tool.

Hi I'm currently reviewing the functionality of the Narrative Reporting and need some guidance with it. Per the option to insert content within a document, I have managed to get a Cube View to be active within the doc but cannot get a report component to generate?  I also managed to get the XFCell reference to work. The following is what I have used for a CV generation, which works fine: However, the actual syntax provided does not match what actually needs to be applied for it to work in the doc (i.e. see below provided syntax): Is there a list of what full syntax should be used for each of the categories listed in the Insert Content option? I've tried to use the same as the CV generation for a Report Component but that doesn't appear to work (as follows): {DOCVARIABLE "{XF}{Application}{Report}{rpt_FSR_BS_8_8_1}" "" ""}   Any help with this would be much appreciated?   Thanks

What is the simplest way to remove zero data from the application? This could be both calculated and user loaded data. Hoping this will improve performance. 

Hello. When importing an application from an older version of OneStream XF into the latatest version of OneStream XF in CloudI received an error message regarding the "DataManagement.xml" file. It wasn't admitting the <dataManagementProfiles> section of the file. So I had to remove it fromt he XML file to load sucessfully the application. Then when I entered the application (using the OneStream client), I saw in the screen that we didn't have a section for DataManagemente Profiles (neither a button to craeate them). Are they still in use? (so we should open a Ticket to get the issue checked by OneStream Technical Support)Or are they an outdated type of artifact that no longer exist in the newest version of OneStream XFSupport?Thanks in advance

Hello, A client recently asked if it’s possible to create an 'exception cube view' based on an existing main one. The main cube view includes both positive and negative amounts across rows and columns. The client specifically wants the exception report to display only the negative values. To address this, I created a UD8 dynamic calc member that returns the U8#None value if it's negative and returns nothing if U8#None is positive. I then applied this new UD8 member to a copy of the main cube view, ensuring suppression is enabled. While this works well for smaller reports, the performance suffers with larger reports due to the nature of dynamic calculations. I also applied the classic formatting where positive amounts are transparent but it leaves the report with a lot of rows and columns that have the text transparent. Any other ideas on how this can be achieved?

I am using a below code to display Intersection Error. The code works perfectly fine- except for one thing. The problem is when the error is - Invalid Member Name.Entity,2010 It only outputs- "Invalid Member Name" (may be because it gets period) Is there a way to update below code to also show Entity ,2010-  instead of just 'Invalid Member Namr' ***************************************************************** Guid gWFid = si.WorkflowClusterPk.ProfileKey;                     int idScenario = si.WorkflowClusterPk.ScenarioKey;                     int idTime = si.WorkflowClusterPk.TimeKey;                       using (DbConnInfoApp dbConnApp = BRApi.Database.CreateApplicationDbConnInfo(si))                     {
