Clear data on Origin Forms
Does anyone have a piece of code to clear data on the origin Forms member for just a few accounts? The api.data.clearcalculateddata is not possible (data is not calculated) and api.data.setdatacell d...
You can combine calculate with clearcalculateddate like this:
Dim script as string = pov api.data.calculate($"{script} = 0 * {script}") api.data.clearcalculateddata(script)The first row will make it calculated, the second row will delete it, because now it is calculated.
I've tried this, but I'm not following how to do this. I have several accounts where I only want to clear the Forms data.
I need the forms data cleared for all the accounts where Text 8 Startswith VarPercentofSales
This was the code I tried:
Dim script As String = "A#All:F#EndBal_Input:V#Periodic:O#Forms:U1#Local_Input:U2#None:U3#None:U4#None:U5#None:U6#None:U7#None:U8#None.Where(Text8 Startswith VarPercentofSales)"
api.data.calculate($"{script} = 0 * {script}")
api.data.ClearCalculatedData("TRUE","TRUE","TRUE","TRUE","A#IncStmnt.Base.Where(Text8 Startswith VarPercentofSales)",,"O#Forms",,,,,,,,,)

OneStream EmployeeThe script and the syntax is not correct, try this:
Dim script As String = "A#All"
api.data.calculate($"{script} = 0 * {script}","A#IncStmnt.Base.Where(Text8 Startswith VarPercentofSales)",,"O#Forms")
api.data.ClearCalculatedData(True,True,True,True,"A#IncStmnt.Base.Where(Text8 Startswith VarPercentofSales)",,"O#Forms")
This worked. You showed me something different when working with variables. Usually I see variables used like this:
api.data.calculate (script & "= 0* "& script, "A#IncStmnt.Base.Where(Text8 Startswith VarPercentofSales)",,"O#Forms")
Instead the script appears like this:
api.data.calculate ($"{script} = 0* {script}", "A#IncStmnt.Base.Where(Text8 Startswith VarPercentofSales)",,"O#Forms")
Does the $ sign have to be used with the "{ }" brackets?
Where do you find these different formats that can be used? Does it have to do with how VB.net script is setup?

For reference: this is called "string interpolation", and is a relatively recent feature of VB.Net - no extra setup required in recent OneStream versions (I'd say 6+, but might work on earlier ones too).
