XFGETCELL(), 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.
Removing Duplicates from a Member Filter
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!
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!!!!
Real-time "Unsaved" status, Intercepting Workflow Navigation
I have a requirement to implement data integrity guardrails on several budgeting forms (Dashboards containing Cube Views/SQL Table Editor). I am looking for guidance on whether the following two features are technically feasible within OneStream: 1. Real-Time "Unsaved Changes" Indicator The goal is to display a status label at the top of the Dashboard that updates to "Data Hasn't Been Saved" the moment a user modifies a cell value (Cubeview/SQL Table Editor), before they actually click the Save button. Question: Is there a way to detect a "dirty" cell state or user input in real-time to update a dashboard component immediately, or are we limited to updating status only after a Save action is triggered? 2. Navigation Warning (Popup on Exit) The goal is to trigger a popup warning if a user attempts to navigate away from the current Workflow Unit or close the Dashboard tab without having Saved or Run Calculations. Question: Is there an event handler available that allows us to intercept a navigation event, and potentially block the user from leaving the screen until they complete the required actions? If anyone has implemented a similar solution or knows which Business Rule events controls these interactions, I would appreciate the insight. Thanks!
Dynamically synchronize Point of View after Workflow Profile changes
Hello, Is it possible to dynamically update the Point of View after making changes to the Workflow Profile? I'd like my scenario and year to be in sync between the two areas if possible. I am aware this can probably be achieved asking a user to manually press a dashboard component such as a button or a combobox, but if possible I'd like this to happen automatically when a user opens a new workflow profile or an associated dashboard is loaded. This should help our users avoid potential conflicts understanding what data she is looking at when working with associated cube views. Don't think I was able to find a business rule or a data management step to help with this task. Many thanks,
