Has anyone had any issues Windows 11 and QuickViews? We have one individual only that cannot seem to run QVs, or if he can, it takes several minutes to do so. Any ideas what it could be that is causing this? We are on an old version of OS. We changed some preferences in the QV and that helped. We have had IT look at his setup and they found nothing out of the ordinary. We are at a total loss as to why one individual is having problems out of 50 + users. Any ideas will help. Thanks

Hi Community,             I have a Cube View which has multiple source rows and a total row at the very end which is using GetDataCell(CVR()) to obtain the Total.Is there any way in which I can hide the source rows and just display only the Total row. Thanks,

I am writing the Business rule in Revenue % account dimension,  Revenue % = X / PY Y. My PY can be based on POV. For example, if user can select current year as FY2024 then PY is FY2023 or If user choose MAY 2024, then PY is MAY 2023 or if user choose Q2 2024 then the PY is Q2 2023.  I am using this code and I am able to achieve if it is year, but I need more of dynamic based on user selected PoV. how to automate this code based on PoV. any suggestions would be really appreciated. Return api.Data.GetDataCell("-A#X / (A#Y:T#GlobalPrior1")

Hi, I am getting error when retrieving parent member name of a UD dimension using XFGetRelationshipProperty. I have used below syntax. Could someone please help me. XFGetRelationshipProperty(“UD4”,B15,“ParentMemberName”,"","","")  It returns #ERROR: PropertyName      

I am using OneStream dashboards and have set up a pivot grid. On desktop, I have configured a default layout for the pivot grid, which works as expected. However, when I access the same dashboard through the browser UX, the default layout does not apply. I have tried clearing the browser cache, but the issue persists. Has anyone encountered this issue before, or can provide insights into why the default layout is not being applied in the browser UX?  Additionally, on Desktop, the pivot gris appears in classic format. On UX, it comes as a hierarchy. Can we default to use classic format on browser UX?   On Desktop: On Browser UX:

Hello, We have a cube view with a couple hundred rows, when in the designer view it is hard to find the row we want to edit since it reads the row number vs member info. I know it's possible to update the name but that would be tedious to do one by one. Is there a setting or rule that would override the row name to equal the member number/name/description? For example "Row192" would read "LE30102" or the actual description.  Thank you in advance! Rana

Dear Community, Is there any possibility to get column names using Cube View Extender rule or XFBR? Thanks in advance. 

Hi there, we are trying to figure out a way of collecting capex project information in OS inside a user friendly form (not capital planning register). Wonder if anyone else is doing it and how you are accomplishing this? Trying to figure out how to allow users to enter project number and name without creating metadata for each project in one of the dimensions ahead of time or if there is an easy way to accomplish this. The information we need to collect is really minimal, number, name, description, amount per year and a classification in one of three buckets.

I have a dashboard report with text boxes that grow with the text.  Is there a way to prevent the box from breaking on a page break?  I know how to do this in Word, but cannot find a setting for it here.  See screenshot for example.  Apologies, I had to blur the actual text.  

I have attached the Parameter (Delimited) in the Cubeview. In parameter I have added a drop down what that drop will do it will add 2 flow dimensions members data which is huge. for 2 column data adding it will works fine but when I run it for whole entity.base or account.base, after few minutes OneStream forcibly stop process. how can I solve this problem ?

Hello, I was wondering if there's a way to use one of the OneStream Excel functions (i.e. =xfgetmemberinfo) to grab data from a Cube View Connection? I know I could pull this data from the headers, but my work doesn't like using them really and was wondering if there was another way. Thanks, Will

Hi, Does anyone know a report that shows all workflow profiles and who processed them? I know that for forms we can use adapter - FormsStatusForWorkflowUnit, but it's just a forms - I need all inputs. Many thanks!

I have a dashboard that has a button and multiple checkboxes attached. When clicking the button, I want it to verify if the user has checked any boxes, and if so, export data that corresponds to the checkboxes. If no checkbox is selected, upon clicking the button, I want the user to receive the following message: "No export option was selected. Please check the tables you want to extract and try again." The current behavior works for when a checkbox is selected. But if I uncheck all boxes and hit the button, it gives me the message, but also opens the file with the data that corresponds to the last checked boxes. The navigation action for the button is currently set to Open File. Any ideas on how to stop opening the file if no checkboxes are selected?  Thank you!

I am trying to build a stacked bar chart with time on the x-axis. Time is being chosen via a parameter in the cubeview and then populating the 12 months prior to the time chosen as well as the time chosen. The time profile being used a custom profile with M1 being April. When I enable "Add Start End Calendar Time" in the data adapter and use "StartTime" as my argument, the data comes through for the right months, however the descriptions for time are that of a standard time profile (i.e. M1 is January) even though it is pulling April data. When I disable "Add Start End Calendar Time" in the data adapter and use "Time" as my argument, I get the correct time descriptions for the custom time profile, but they are out of order (displaying in alphabetical/numerical order).  Does anyone know a way around this? 

I am wanting to use a custom Data Style that I have made in Excel, in a OS Quick View. I have followed the instructions found here  but it seems that the custom style does not populate as an option in the OneStream  Quick View settings. Is there something I have to do after creating it in excel, but before using it in OS? 

I am looking for a way to run a report for all time periods on percent consolidation.  Currently the only way I know how to do this is by running a grid view of for each month.  Does anyone know a more efficient solution?

I have a cube view that is comparing two years and the better worse for each month.  Is there a way to show only the month name only (no year) in the Better Worse column header?

Hi, A question that come back rather often is how to retrieve in a "user friendly" format the workflow an entity is assigned to. You can find hereunder a dynamiccalc you can assign to an UD8 in order to retrieve that information. Hope this helps. Kind regards,   Aymar 'This dynamiccalc member will show the workflow profile of the Entity as an Annotation 'User need to have access to the CubeRoot workflow profile Info If api.View.IsAnnotationType() Then Dim sourceSQL As New Text.StringBuilder Dim returnedText As New Text.StringBuilder Dim wfCubeRootInfo As WorkflowCubeRootInfo = TryCast(BRApi.Workflow.Metadata.GetCubeRootInfo(si, BRApi.Workflow.General.GetWorkflowUnitPk(si).ProfileKey, False),WorkflowCubeRootInfo) If Not wfCubeRootInfo Is Nothing Then sourceSQL.Append("SELECT [EntityMemberID]") sourceSQL.AppendLine(",[ProfileName]") sourceSQL.AppendLine("FROM [WorkflowProfileEntities]") sourceSQL.AppendLine("INNER Join [WorkflowProfileHierarchy] On [WorkflowPro

Power BI is Not Excel 😊 Microsoft Power BI vs. Excel: A Hilariously Technical Showdown Purpose and Functionality: Think of Microsoft Power BI as the flashy superhero of the data world, designed to turn boring numbers into eye-popping, interactive dashboards and reports. It’s the show-off cousin who just got a sports car. Conversely, Excel is the dependable, slightly nerdy sibling who’s been around forever, excelling (pun intended) at data entry, analysis, and complex calculations. The trusty old sedan has seen it all and done it all. Data Handling: Power BI is like a data-hungry beast that devours vast amounts of information from various sources – clouds, databases, and even the web's dark corners. It’s all about real-time munching and crunching. Excel? Well, it's the meticulous librarian of data, handling large datasets with care but getting frazzled if you dump a truckload of info on it simultaneously. It’s great for detailed work, but it prefers its data to be served in manageable

Hello,  We recently upgraded to 7.4.2. Prior to this our Pie Captions were showing up when view the BI dashboard. However, since the upgrade we are noticing that we are unable to see the pie chart caption.  In the BI Designed window I can see the pie chart caption, but when playing the dashboard it disappears. Is there a bug in the 7.4.2 version that affects this? As well I was wondering if there is a way to fix the data labels, currently we have the labels to display outside of the pie chart and we have two pie's side by side for Quarter over Quarter variance, however the labels are all on top of each other and we cannot see the labels correctly. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hi all, I might be having a dumb moment here but I cant work out how to overcome a formatting issue. Im trying to restyle some reporting, all the formatting is on style parameters and in this case my highlighted columns are being overriden by the row total formatting. I just want the background colour as per the column formatting. I cant use targetted row overrides as the row set is shared and on a param (it could be one of 11 row sets in this report) Ive tried all the tricks to create a global override but nothing is working.  I cant change the formatting on the row set as its used in multiple places and in a lot of cases it formats correctly, its just this report that works a little differently. Some trick or tip to get round this would be most appreciated!  Thanks, Tom    

Hi!  We are using T#Pov.AllPriorinYearInclusive in a cube view but would like to change the order the months appear from oldest to newest (i.e. Jan to June)  to current to oldest (June to Jan).  Does anyone know how to do this?  Thangs

I have a column performing the following expression: GetDataCell(Divide(CVC(CYAct)-CVC(PYAct)), CVC(PYAct))):Name(PY % Var) The column uses the following formatting: ExcelNumberFormat = 0.0%, ExcelUseScale = True, NumberFormat = 0.0, Scale = 0, ShowPercentSign = True The Cell Amount of the column/row intersection is -26.956   When I run this cube view in OneStream, the number populates as -27.0%, which is okay with me. However, when I export it to Excel, the number populates as -2695.6%.  My resolution is to multiply the number by 100 and then apply a scale to make the number appear correctly. However, if I multiply the division calculation above, it ignores the multiplication aspect.  My multiplication formula is: GetDataCell((Divide(CVC(CYAct)-CVC(PYAct)), CVC(PYAct)))*100):Name(PY % Var) Any suggestions on how to add this multiplication to my calculation, or another way for the number to appear properly within Excel?

After migrating from OneStream version 6.8 to 7.4, it looks like the Excel data groupings disappear after refresh. Does anyone know if this is an issue with the Add-in itself or do OneStream/Quick view settings need to be changed?  thank you      

Cube View within a Dashboard.   When an amount in a data cell is changed and the save button (either the cube view save button or a dashboard save button) is clicked I would like to add in validation code that evaluates the changed amount. A WorkFlowEventHandler allows me to identify the CubeView so that I can isolate the action solely to that cube view.   So far in the WorkFlowEventHandler I have been able to identify the cube view and get code to fire based solely on that CubeView, however it all seems to run after the cube data has been saved. Is it possible with a WorkFlowEventHandler to have code run before the changed amount is saved to the cube and not save the changed amount based on some validation/code logic?
