Thanks for your reply Sai, 

The challenge is we have a weekly application profile and then the data is not stored in the DataRecord tables but in the BinaryData tables. And those have the binary column i need to read. 

I do have another solution which is not ideal but working. I run an FDX query from a business rule with a filter on the data values. That is working but it feels a bit extreme for a fairly simple query.

I just wanted to propose a fdx query for this request. Accessing the data table directly is not a sustainable way of doing it.

Dim subQueryDataTable As DataTable = BRApi.Import.Data.FdxExecuteDataUnit(si, cubeName, $"E#{entityName}.Base", "local", scenarioTypeId, $"S#{scenarioName}", $"T#{timeName}", "YTD", True, "Flow='None'", 4, True)

      And here is the explanation for the parameters:
