Prior Year, YTD Cube View Columns
Hi All,
I am creating a cube view with a 'Current Year' column and a 'Prior Year' column based on the POV (this company has an August close fiscal year). These columns work if I am viewing full ye...

Try this setup below if you want to make the report more dynamic for the users in terms of selecting the period and selecting the view dimension, unless your report requires it to be run based on user POV.
Note: |!ParamMonth!| is my parameter to select the month for the first column.
|!ParamView!| is my parameter to let the user select Periodic, MTD, QTD, or YTD.
Hi, I'm new to Onestream and I am trying to do something similar, but in Rows I'd like to display all the periods of a given selected year and then all the periods of the prior year. I've been unable to get this to work. Columns Year1, Year2. Row1 T#CVYear.Months. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi Kit - I'm a bit confused with what you're specifically asking for, but you need the pipes symbol to accomplish it, if you are using the substitution variable of CVYear.
T#|CVYear|.Months would be the correct syntax to get all months in the Cube View Year. To get the prior year's months, try T#PeriodPrior1(|CVYear|).Months.
I'm not sure what this cube view is being used for, but I typically like to allow the time period to be selectable for the end user (unless it's forms related where I typically use T#WF). If you want to make it more dynamic, throw in a parameter, such as |!ParamMonth!| in place of |CVYear|
Thank you very much for the reply. I'm trying to get to a CV that would display 2 columns of data, Current Year and Prior Year for each of the 12 periods of a year.
On rows, I am just displaying the CY and Months.
I thought I could then override the row for prior year with something like this:
I've not been able to get that to display though. I have seen in most examples folks are doing similar things by displaying the periods in columns vs row, but I have users use to seeing the periods in rows, so was trying to replicate that. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
