BI Blend : No valid Datakeys (Scenario/Time) found in Data Source
Hi, I am practicing building a BI Blend report on Golfstream Application. I was able to create a connection to the external database i.e SQL Studio, make the config changes in Onestream Database Configuration Utility and I can fetch that data in the dashboard using SQL connection string which is working fine. Then I created a new Workflow profile that uses the BI Blend functionality. It is throwing some errors as you can see below Any help would be highly appreciated. Moreover, if someone has a working guide/tutorial to get started with BI Blend, that would be appreciated. P.S. - I already have the BI Blend reference guide but it is not working since there is no specifically designed tutorial to practice BI Blend Reporting in that.
Create a Bi Blend Table without any aggregation
Hi I am loading data into a Bi Blend table and I don't want any aggregation applied. My understanding from the documentation is that I can use 'SSOnly.' However, whenever I try use this I get an error. Below is the config: Question 1: Am I doing something wrong in my config or is my understanding of how it works is incorrect? Another idea of mine is to set the Blend Unit Dimension Token to a UD member which will only ever have 1 member (e.g. UD4 and set the Aggregation Info to 'None'), so the aggreation should never create any additional aggregated parent records. I have tested this and it appears to work but I am worried that there is a potential issue that I'm not aware of... Question 2: Is this a viable workaround and is there anything that I should be worried about if I follow this approach? Thanks, Mark
BIBlend - YTD Values
Hi, I am working on a demo for BIBlend. I understand that "View" is not supported in BIBlend and we should derive it on the reports or by using BRs. Does anyone have some some examples on how I can use Time math Business Rules to derive YTD values in the BIBlend Dashboards? Or any other methods to report YTD/QTD values for BI Blend? Thanks LiliyaShort of joining to a dimension table to get a member's description, is there a way to configure the blend table build process to use a member's description (alias) instead of the member name?

Originally posted by Barry Nuckolls 3/3/2020 I am trying to come up with an Analytic Blend example with the client's metadata/data on the UPS project. I have put Building and Division as Attributes 1 and 2, respectively. I did not put aggregation points for either of them in the BI Blend workflow however. I did put aggregation points well below the dimension tops for some but not all dimensions.
