    Hi ZAH,

    Sorry, you are on the right track... have you tried passing the argument of FlowConstraint?

      Hello Nicolas, 

      i tried this: A#M_BS.Base:Name(XFMemberProperty(DimType=Account, Member=|MFAccount|, Property=FlowConstraint)

      it displays the flowconstraint for all BS accounts . i want to be able to select Accounts having EQU flow only . in sql it is very easy. but in OS i having difficulty finding the correct function to pass such a filter on .

        It might be easier if you use an XFBR formula. Do you need the indentation in your cube view? as you will loose that by default in the XFBR!

    You would do something like this into a Dashboard XFBR String :
       If (args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("GetFlowConstraints")) Then
       ' Return Me.GetFlowConstraints(si, globals, api, args)\
    And then the formula could be : 

     

    		 Public Function GetFlowConstraints(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As DashboardStringFunctionArgs) As String
                     Try
                                     
                'Get the Dim PK for Accounts Dimension
                Dim AccountsDimPk As DimPk = BRApi.Finance.Dim.GetDimPk(si,"DIMAccount")
                'Get the member name of the account
                'Get a list of BS accounts
                Dim memFilterAccounts As List(Of MemberInfo) = BRAPi.Finance.Members.GetMembersUsingFilter(si, AccountsDimPk, "A#BS.Base.Where(InUse = True)", True)
                'Use a text builder to build a string
                Dim acMemberList As New Text.Stringbuilder()
'                Dim isfirstItem As Boolean = True
                            'Loop through the assigned accounts and return the first account in the list
                            For Each account As MemberInfo In memFilterAccounts
        
'                                If Not isfirstItem Then
         Dim accountConstraints As String = BRApi.Finance.Account.GetConstraintMemberForDimType(si,account.Member.MemberId,dimTypeid.Flow,-1).ToString
         Dim selectedConstraint As String = args.NameValuePairs.XFGetValue("FlowTable").ToString
         
         If accountConstraints = selectedConstraint Then
'                                Else
                                    acMemberList.Append("A#")
                                 acMemberList.Append(account.Member.Name)
'                                End If
'                             isfirstItem = False
         End If
        Next 
                 
                 
                'log
                'Brapi.errorlog.LogMessage(si,acMemberList.ToString)

                Return acMemberList.ToString
                                            
        Catch ex As Exception
            Throw ErrorHandler.LogWrite(si, New XFException(si, ex))
        End Try      
 End Function
