Column suppression

Hi,
we would like to show the periods based on on the "Number Of No Input Periods Per Workflow Unit" Scenario setting.

Suppress if "No Input"

Is that possible?

  • There are a couple ways you should be able to handle, like everything in OS (more than one way).  In the column header format you can use an XFBR string to return Column Visible = False based on an XFBR string of scenario and time.

    Or a second way is shown below.  In this way you are figuring out which columns are Actual data vs Forecast data to show on cube views.

    In both cases, an XFBR string is used.

     	If args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("ActPeriods") Then
    '					XFBR(XCLR_XFBRString, ActPeriods, CurrScenario = |WFScenario|, wfYear= |WFYear|)
    					Dim CurrScenario As String = args.NameValuePairs.XFGetValue("CurrScenario")
    					Dim wfYear As Integer = args.NameValuePairs.XFGetValue("wfYear")
    					Dim wfScenarioId As Integer = ScenarioDimHelper.GetIdFromName(si, CurrScenario)
    					
    '					brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Scenario = " & CurrScenario & " Year = " & wfYear )
    					
    					Dim NoInputPeriods As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Scenario.GetWorkflowNumNoInputTimePeriods(si, wfScenarioId)	
    '					brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Scenario = " & CurrScenario & " Year = " & wfYear & "  NoInputPeriods = " & NoInputPeriods)
    					If NoInputPeriods <> 0 Then	
    						Return "T#" & wfYear & "M" & NoInputPeriods.tostring & ".AllPriorInYearInclusive"
    					Else
    						Return "T#" & wfYear & ".Base"
    					End If	
    				End If
