Alias Dimension Property in V9.1
The newest release (9.1) of OneStream introduces the Alias property for just about all of the dimensions. The only place so far where I have found the Alias as being useful is in search. I have not been able to figure out the correct syntax to be able to use the alias in Cube Views, Quick Views or any business rule. My guess is that we are going to have to create a custom business rule that will allow us to call the Alias name and present in a viewable format. Does anyone have an example of where they have been able to display an Alias value in a Cube View or Quick view instead of displaying the default member name and/or description?Solved236Views0likes6CommentsExport Cube View to Report Format?
Does anyone know if there is an api to export a cubeview to a report format, similar to how BRApi.CubeViews.Process.ExportCubeViewGridsToExcelFile can be used to export a cubeview to Excel via code? I want to get rid of the menu options so users can not use the normal save button but instead a custom dashboard save button. However, I need to find a way to replicate the export options that will also be removed. Thanks.62Views0likes2CommentsActuals Adjustment
How to Add Adjustments with Add Back Category and Free-Form Add Back Name to Actuals in OneStream? Hi Everyone, I’m working with Actuals data structured like the attached screenshot and want to add adjustments linked to this data. Key points: Adjustments must tie to Actuals by Company, Account, and Month Each adjustment includes: An Add Back Category An Add Back Name, which is free-form text and can vary monthly I want to maintain monthly detail and enable reporting and drill-down by both Add Back Category and Add Back Name My questions: What’s the best approach to model and load adjustments with both a Add Back Category and a free-form Add Back Name in OneStream? Should Add Back Name be a UD member with auto-create, a text attribute, or something else? How to avoid member explosion or reporting complexity given the free-form nature of Add Back Name? How can I ensure adjustments roll up correctly and maintain data integrity? Any recommendations for validation, governance, and reporting for this kind of adjustment detail? Thanks in advance for your insights!20Views0likes0CommentsError exporting Cube View to Excel/PDF when using CVRC
Hi, I’ve created a cube view containing a Row Override GetDataCell CVRC formula that is throwing an error when exported to Excel or PDF. I believe it’s because I’m using CVRC which requires the use of an index which Excel/PDF don't know how to handle. I’ve tried simple GetDataCell formulas and they all export fine. I’ve read that this can happen when Excel doesn’t know how to handle the index but the formula doesn’t calculate without the index. Has anyone experienced this and how did you resolve it? Would it work if the calculation was done via business rule instead? Below are screenshots from the desktop app and Excel, as well as the row override formula17Views0likes0CommentsLooking for Input: XFGetCell vs. Cube Views in Excel
Hi everyone, I’m looking to get some input from the community on Excel-based reporting in OneStream. In your experience, which format has proven to be more efficient and reliable: XFGetCell formulas or Cube View connections? The reason I’m asking is that we use OneStream reports to feed data into Excel workbooks, and we’re getting recurring feedback from users about performance issues—slow refresh times and, in some cases, Excel crashing. For context, these workbooks usually contain multiple tabs and often include a mix of: Cube View connections Quick Views XFGetCell formulas (used when a specific layout is required) Our goal is to better advise users on the best reporting approach. So far, it feels like this mixed setup is becoming heavy and is negatively impacting the user experience. If you have any best practices, lessons learned, or tips on what works best (and what to avoid), I’d really appreciate you sharing them. Thanks so much in advance!

Hi everyone, In my CubeView I have a cell defined with the Date data type and I would like to force its display using the number format dd/MM/yyyy, However the format never changes and is always displayed as MM/dd/yyyy, probably due to the US culture settings. Do you know if it is possible to override this behavior? I assume it should be since multiple date formats are available.

I need assistance in selecting the immediate parent of a base member. Currently, I am using a Business Rule (BR) to identify the Top 10 Business, but I am unable to retrieve the correct members. My requirement is not to select the base members themselves, but rather the member directly above each base member in the hierarchy. Scenario: I am using the following formula to select U6#Top_Business.Base.options. However, instead of retrieving the base members, I need to capture their immediate parent. Is there a member filter formula available that can achieve this? U6#Root.CustomMemberList(BRName = -----, MemberListName = Ranked, RankType = Top, RankCount = 10, LoopMemberFilter = [U6#Top_Business.Base.options(Cube=Main_Cube, ScenarioType=Actual, MergeMembersFromReferencedCubes=False)], DataCellToRankMemberFilter = Cb#Main_Cube:E#Top:C#USD:S#Actual:T#2025M11:V#YTD:A#Example:F#Example_activity:O#Top:I#Top:U1#Top:U2#Top:U3#Top:U4#Top:U5#Top:U7#Top:U8#Top)39Views0likes0Comments
