Aggregation for the Periods to Year to Date in Forecast

[Qiniso]

I am having an issue with cash flow report taking last month's (ie Dec 2022) value to aggregating it to the year to date (ie 2022), ignoring other months (... Oct, Nov, ). Does the account type get affected by the view dimension, whether periodic or YTD?  Or this might be affected by other settings in the dimension. The scenario settings for the Forecast for Input View for Adjustment are periodic, similar to No Data Zero View for Adjustments and Nonadjustments.

Can you explain with an example showing the cube view ?

YTD or periodic both should should consolidated YTD data for 2022. Drill down on 2022 data cell to see how it is derived?

[Qiniso]

2022 is derived from YTD (see screenshot)

Run a force consolidation on Dec 2022 and then check.

It's not working.

Check the account type; yes that does matter.

So use revenue or expense or balance sheet?

The example cube view looks like what would happen if your accounts are Asset/Liability or Balance.
Which may be OK because you might be looking at Balance Sheet accounts.
But the important thing for Cash Flow is whether the Flow member (the Flow type dimension) that you are looking at in that cube view. I assume you would be using a flow member that represents all the total cash-related movements. The critical point is on the flow member, if you are using a Balance Sheet account. Does the flow member has the "Switch Type" property set to TRUE?

Thanks, it works if set to TRUE. I had thought Switch Type only impact the translation.
