Cube View Parametric driven column
I have a cube view that I need to modify so that in the second column we are getting data that is driven by the selection that the user makes for the first column.
For example if the user selects a...

Our consultant showed me to use Text attribute for scenario to get prior forecast. So in Jan_FCST, if you assign Text1 attribute as Feb_FCST, then in your OP filter, you can retrieve S#Fcsts.base.Where(Text1 = |!param_FCST!|). This setup allow when users select Feb_FCST for Forecast column, OP column will retrieve S#Fcsts.base.Where(Text1 = Feb_FCST) which would be Jan_FCST).
This works for cube view, but our users want to use this setup for quick view. However I don't know of a way to make parameter prompt in quick view. If anyone has any tips to apply this for quick view, please advise. Thank you!

I agree with aricgresko on perhaps using an XFBR business rule. The below code could be optimized in many ways, but should work for what you need. This way you do not need to use/manage any text values.
"YourRuleNameHere" will equal what you named your XFBR business rule, ensure whatever you named it matches the XFBR call you place in the cube view.
XFBR Cube View Line Call (What you would put on your cube view line instead of "S#|!param_FCST!|"):
XFBR(YourRuleNameHere, GetPriorFcst, CurrentFcst=|!param_FCST!|)Create an XFBR Business Rule and paste in the following code:
Imports System Imports System.Data Imports System.Data.Common Imports System.IO Imports System.Collections.Generic Imports System.Globalization Imports System.Linq Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports OneStream.Shared.Common Imports OneStream.Shared.Wcf Imports OneStream.Shared.Engine Imports OneStream.Shared.Database Imports OneStream.Stage.Engine Imports OneStream.Stage.Database Imports OneStream.Finance.Engine Imports OneStream.Finance.Database Namespace OneStream.BusinessRule.DashboardStringFunction.YourRuleNameHere '<--------- NEED TO CHANGE "YourRuleNameHere" AND ADD TO XFBR CALL WITHIN CUBE VIEW Public Class MainClass Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As DashboardStringFunctionArgs) As Object Try If args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("GetPriorFcst") Then Dim CurrFcst As String = args.NameValuePairs("CurrentFcst") Dim PriorFcst As String = String.Empty Select Case CurrFcst Case "Jan_FCST" PriorFcst = "Dec_FCST" Case "Feb_FCST" PriorFcst = "Jan_FCST" Case "Mar_FCST" PriorFcst = "Feb_FCST" Case "Apr_FCST" PriorFcst = "Mar_FCST" Case "May_FCST" PriorFcst = "Apr_FCST" Case "Jun_FCST" PriorFcst = "May_FCST" Case "Jul_FCST" PriorFcst = "Jun_FCST" Case "Aug_FCST" PriorFcst = "Jul_FCST" Case "Sep_FCST" PriorFcst = "Aug_FCST" Case "Oct_FCST" PriorFcst = "Sep_FCST" Case "Nov_FCST" PriorFcst = "Oct_FCST" Case "Dec_FCST" PriorFcst = "Nov_FCST" End Select Return "S#" & PriorFcst End If Return Nothing Catch ex As Exception Throw ErrorHandler.LogWrite(si, New XFException(si, ex)) End Try End Function End Class End Namespace

You could simplify this by having your column CY use T#|!CVQTR!| and your column PY use T#PeriodPrior4(|!CVQTR!|). No need for an XFBR

Great idea! Tested it and it works the quarterly views. However the when selecting a full year the second column returns 2018). Possible two Cube Views is the simplest solution, but still would like to have the option to run Full Year or Quarterly in one report (which may put me back into the XFBR where I can control the relationship definition)
Hunted around more on this site and this logic works for both quarters and full year
T#YearPrior1(|CVTime|)Period(|CVTime|)Solution found! So helpful to see the various use cases and solutions here!
