Is it possible to load data via excel with an XF formula?

I am knew to the OneStream Software. Is there a way to load data outside of a form, and not through workflow? Meaning, is there an xf formula that can be used in excel that will write to a specific data intersection?

    Hi Carmen,

     

    Yes, OneStream has a XFSetCell formula. See print screen below.

      Peter is correct, you can load via excel functions to OneStream, but it will load to o#forms and not to o#import.

      If you need to load to o#import, then you need to use WF and the excel load capabilities.

      Thanks Peter. Is there a a formula builder on the OneStream XF addin ribbon? (other tools I've worked with have a formula builder displaying all the XF functions that are available.

        Hi Carmen,

         

        OneStream has a MarketPlace Solution called, Admin Solution Tools. That one contains a Member Formula Builder. See print screen below.
