Complex Expression on Matrix Data Load
I have a complex expression on the amount field in a data source used to convert any non-local currencies to the local currency (see below). That complex expression currently runs on tabular data wit...

Thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't look like the data is converted at this stage of the process. Below is an example of how the args.line looks. It's one row of data with the amounts in 25 different fields.
I may look into converting the data source to tabular but first wanted to see what other options exist to handle this for a matrix load.

You can attach your code to every time dimension which you have created and with args.value you can access the value on that dimension and with args.line you can access entire line from there you can fetch entity.
Your code should work with some modifications of col position rather than using a list of string split your args.line into an array.
Dim line as string = args.line
Dim currentLine() As String = line.Split(","c)
Can you try this and share your results to debug further.

Below is what I printed on the Time dimension. Sorry, this may be really basic, but I have a complex expression on the time dimension already to determine the time period to load to. Are you suggesting I could modify that expression to also translate the values I have in my first 24 fields? Those are the amounts that I want translated to another currency. I was thinking the complex expression would need to be on the amount field?
Description: argSs: -100, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 71910, , Salaries Taxes & Benefits, Direct Only, CAN, , 6, Flex2023For a Matrix data source, you don't have a single amount column rather you have multiple amount columns for every month.
How these complex expressions work is that when you import data from file to stage these rules will apply the logic while parsing data from the file.
so think of it in that terms
for a matrix data source, you have multiple amount columns OneStream uses the transformation rules to transform that data into tabular form to load to each month you need to setup your transformation rules properly for a matrix data source to work.
