Question: Is it Possible to Extract Data with Time Periods in Columns?

I know we can use the Matrix setting in our Data Sources to import data where time periods are in the columns (i.e. M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 M6 etc.). Is anyone out there aware of a way to extract data ...

    Here it is:

     

    Dim dtObj As DataTable = BRApi.Import.Data.FdxExecuteDataUnitTimePivot(si, "Equipment Division", "E#NAE.Base", "Local", ScenarioTypeId.Budget, "S#Forecast3p9", "T#2023.base", "Periodic", False, True, "", 4, False)
Dim csvText As New Text.StringBuilder()

For Each drObj As DataRow In dtObj.Rows
	
	For Each dcObj As DataColumn In dtObj.Columns
		csvText.Append(drObj(dcObj.ColumnName))
		csvtext.Append(",")
	Next	
	csvText.AppendLine
Next

Dim folderName As String = "Documents/Public/Csv"
Dim fileName As String = "CsvFile.csv"
Dim csvFileInfo As New XFFileInfo(FileSystemLocation.ApplicationDatabase, fileName, folderName)
Dim csvFileObj As New XFFile(csvFileInfo, String.Empty, Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(csvText.ToString))
csvFileObj.FileInfo.ContentFileExtension = "csv"
					
Dim folderObj As New XFFolder(FileSystemLocation.ApplicationDatabase, folderName)
BRApi.FileSystem.InsertOrUpdateFolder(si, folderObj)
BRApi.FileSystem.InsertOrUpdateFile(Si, csvFileObj)

     

    It will save the file in "Documents/Public/Csv/"

    And here the functions details:

    Dim dt As DataTable = BRApi.Import.Data.FdxExecuteDataUnitTimePivot(si, cubeName, entityMemFilter, consName, scenarioTypeId, scenarioMemFilter, timeMemFilter, viewName, suppressNoData, useGenericTimeColNames, filter, parallelQueryCount, logStatistics)

Oh thank you so much!!  Coding is not my area of expertise - I don't suppose you have an example?
