Question: Regarding the Clear Calculated Data Function, is it possible to clear just select base or intermediate members of a parent member? This is in an effort to not clear the entire dimension but just a subset of data.

Answer

•Please see OneStream Software's Knowledge base article related to how to clear the Data Cells in a Specific Data Buffer: https://onestreamsoftware.service-now.com/sp?id=kb_article&sys_id=abcf0fc6db0bc410ea2c25894b96192f

•When clearing an intersection using custom calculation rules the very first step clears previously calculated data. This often times gets leveraged for seeding purposes when the data has been flagged as “durable.”

•Often times when you leverage custom calcs for planning purposes, you’ll want to set the data flag to “durable” so this calculated data doesn’t get cleared out during a consolidation.
