Excel Optimization for XFGETCELL() / XFSETCELL()
Hi all, Not sure if I'm in the right spot to post this question but here goes. I recently downloaded a word document off the OneStream site (I think from Knowledge Base) called "Optimizing Excel for Quick Views and XFGETCELL()". In that document there was a recommendation to change the default value from 2 to 4 in the Environment / Configuration Tab/ MultithreadingSettings property / "NumThreadsForGetDataCells" and "NumThreadsForSetDataCells". Has anyone else tried this yet and did you realize any performance improvement in large Excel XFGETCELL() workbooks? On a related note, does anyone have any other recommendations for optimization of Excel beyond the usual that has been presented here (i.e. Manual Calculation = on, Various preference settings, Refreshing in the Spreadsheet tool instead of in Excel, etc. etc.). I feel like we've tried everything suggested at this point, except for the NumThreadsForGetDataCells configuration. Thanks in advance for any advice.Solvedkmd3 days agoContributor II340Views0likes3CommentsXFGETCELL(), XFSETCELL() PERFORMANCE
Hi all, Every forecast cycle we get the same performance complaints from the same region group of users. They are always uploading massive amounts of data and refreshing massive amounts of data in the same workbooks using the XF functionality in Excel. To be clear, we have tried multiple times to convince them that they should be importing that data via CSV and advising that they will not get the same performance using the XF functions. We have also tried having OneStream re-index the databases before these cycles and we have regular daily app pool recycles. The OneStream data logs really don't show any significant refresh issues (less than 5 minutes usually) but the one user doing all this work is insisting that it's taking hours and hours to finish refreshing and they often have to close and reopen Excel and re-launch OneStream. We have raised multiple tickets and OneStream does not see any back end issues. We have looked at their Excel preferences and tried different options there but no improvement. I am 100% out of ideas so if anyone out there has any thoughts, would love to hear what you've done to resolve these issues. I'm going to post this as well somewhere in the community where Excel discussions happen. Thanks for any advice.kmd3 days agoContributor II5Views0likes0CommentsCubeview Drill Down issue: Load Results for Importe Cells is empty
Hello there, We are having an issue when using the Drill Down option from a Cubeview, and it's that after getting to a base data cell within the Drill Down window, and then trying to navigate to stage using the "Load Results for Imported Cell", the results window is displayed empty: The workflow that is being used it's a simple Import, Validate and Load, that retrieves the imported data from a Connector and there is no further data processing once it's in the Cube. From the Workflow Page we can use Drill Down and Drill Back just fine. Any ideas of why is this happening? Thank you.

Hi All, I have the following use case whereby in my parameter, I have a member list of C#Local,C#USD,C#JPY,C#|WFText2| whereby WFText2 will be currencies/consolidation members eg. CNY,EUR,SGD,USD,JPY Is there a way to filter the member list to remove duplicates such that if WFText2 is USD, the memberlist will return C#Local,C#USD,C#JPY instead of C#Local,C#USD,C#JPY,C#USD Any help is appreciated, thanks!Kenn3 days agoNew Contributor25Views0likes2CommentsPerformance impact of having all currencies in an app ?
Hi Community! Are there any solid performance issues / consideration of having ALL currencies from OneStream listed as Currency Filter of the Application Property, instead of selecting only the ones we need ?

Quick Views in excel add-in disappearing
Has anyone ever come accross and issue where you've built out a quick view in excel to either faciliate reporting or to input values into a planning scenario and you open the workbook to refresh the quick views and they are all #refresh with the links broken? The quickview POV is greyed out as if its no longer there. I've tried refreshing the page, workbook/closed excel and restarted... Any solutions or troubleshooting would be appreciated!!!!Michael_Laroche5 days agoNew Contributor II15Views0likes1Comment
