Automatically Flag Cells for Spreading in Cubeview
Hello, Currently we are working on a forecasting model, and we would like to be able to use the spreading process inherent in OS. Is there away to use conditional formatting or an XFBR to set a column of values to be flagged automatically based on the comparison between a parameter and the column member? Specifically, I am looking to have the first or first two periods of the quarter set as flagged so they can be excluded from the proportional distribution based on when the users are completing this forecast. Thanks,
Pass-thru Formatting on Cube Views
Good afternoon, I'm trying to pass through formatting from one cube view to another. The 2nd cube view is a dialog pop-up in a dashboard triggered by a selection changed event. So far I've been able to determine destination formatting based on Cell POV dimension members of the cell "clicked" but I'm hitting a snag on dynamically calculated cells (column is Actual versus Budget % for example). The Cell POV dimension members are the same with the only difference being a "GetDataCell" at the end. I haven't figured out a way to retrieve what, if anything, is in the "calculation script" for a cell intersection. Or if there's a way to retrieve the row and column names for a cell intersection at the time of a click? Looking for any guidance possible. Thanks, Brandon
Time always returns 0001-01-01 in BR when using XFBR in Cube View
Hi, I am calling a Business Rule (BR) in a Cube View using XFBR as follows: XFBR( BR_ParamHelper, FunctionName, WFname = |WFText2|, SelectEntity = |!WF_AssignedEntity!|, Time = |!Time!| ) Inside the BR, I parse the year from Time to control flows: Dim wfYear As Integer = 0 If args.NameValuePairs.ContainsKey("Time") Then Dim POVTime As String = args.NameValuePairs("Time") wfYear = CInt(Left(POVTime, 4)) End If If wfYear >= 2026 Then ' Remove flows for specified entities Else ' Keep historical flows End If Problem: When I log POVTime or wfYear, it always shows 0001-01-01, so my logic for removing ENT/EXIT based on the year never triggers. What I have tried: Verified the Cube View POV is correctly set. Passed Time = |!Time!| from the Cube View XFBR call. Logged args.NameValuePairs("Time") — still returns 0001-01-01. Question: Is Time = |!Time!| the correct way to pass the POV period to a BR? Is there a difference between |!Time!| and |!POV!| or T#POV in Cube Views for BRs? How can I get the actual workflow year in the BR so I can apply logic like wfYear >= 2026? Any guidance or examples on how to correctly get the year of the workflow/POV in a BR would be greatly appreciated.
Retrieve the culture in a BR and display the name & description of this culture
Hello everyone, We currently have a business rule that allows us to display a certain number of accounts for our cash flow cube view. The problem is that when returning account.Member.NameAndDescription, it does not take into account the user's culture. resultString.Append("A#" & account.Member.Name & ":Name(" & space & account.Member.NameAndDescription & "):F#None,") So I think I need to retrieve the culture of the user displaying the cube view in my BR in order to return the correct name and description. However, I don't know how to retrieve the user's culture, nor what parameter to return instead of account.Member.NameAndDescription to get the one in US English, as the default is in French. Do you have any ideas?
Real-time "Unsaved" status, Intercepting Workflow Navigation
I have a requirement to implement data integrity guardrails on several budgeting forms (Dashboards containing Cube Views/SQL Table Editor). I am looking for guidance on whether the following two features are technically feasible within OneStream: 1. Real-Time "Unsaved Changes" Indicator The goal is to display a status label at the top of the Dashboard that updates to "Data Hasn't Been Saved" the moment a user modifies a cell value (Cubeview/SQL Table Editor), before they actually click the Save button. Question: Is there a way to detect a "dirty" cell state or user input in real-time to update a dashboard component immediately, or are we limited to updating status only after a Save action is triggered? 2. Navigation Warning (Popup on Exit) The goal is to trigger a popup warning if a user attempts to navigate away from the current Workflow Unit or close the Dashboard tab without having Saved or Run Calculations. Question: Is there an event handler available that allows us to intercept a navigation event, and potentially block the user from leaving the screen until they complete the required actions? If anyone has implemented a similar solution or knows which Business Rule events controls these interactions, I would appreciate the insight. Thanks!FilterMembers syntax (: vs ,) and base clearing when using GetDataBufferUsingFormula
I’m working on a custom clear process that clears cube data using GetDataBufferUsingFormula() The goal is to dynamically clear data for all base members under the current POV (Entity, UD1-UD4) by expanding any parent members with the .Base suffix. In other words, I want to make sure every dimension in the POV (Entity and UDs alike) is ultimately resolved down to base members before the clear runs. Here’s a simplified idea of what I’m doing: Dim filterString As String = String.Join(":", intersectionParts) Dim fullFilter As String = $"FilterMembers({filterString})" Dim sourceBuffer As DataBuffer = api.Data.GetDataBufferUsingFormula(fullFilter, DataApiScriptMethodType.Calculate, False, destinationInfo) The process builds a FilterMembers() expression dynamically, retrieves the buffer, and sets all cell amounts to zero to perform a clear. However, I’m facing two issues: Some child members aren’t being cleared, even when I use .Base on their parent. I’m not fully sure about the correct syntax for FilterMembers, should the dimensions be separated by colon (:) or by comma (,)? What’s the real difference between the two, especially when dealing with multiple parent members or nested intersections? For example, if I have three parent members in my intersection, I might build something like: FilterMembers(E#MyEntity.Base:U1#ProfitCenter.Base:U2#Location.Base) But it’s unclear whether that colon syntax is correct, or if it should be comma-separated, or another thing is, the use of square bracket...since some base-level data doesn’t seem to clear. Could this be a syntax issue with FilterMembers, or could the problem come from how I’m constructing or passing the intersection into GetDataBufferUsingFormula()? Any clarification or working example for multi-parent .Base expansions with FilterMembers() would be a huge help. Thanks in advance!Create a parameter to determine the initialization status of each forecast?
Hello everyone, We have set up a monthly forecast that is compared to the budget or actual figures in different cube views. We currently use a parameter to select the forecast month in each cube view, but I would like to remove it and have the latest forecast for the year or year N-1 displayed automatically. I have created an XFBR that retrieves the holding company's turnover for each of the 11 forecasts (January, February, etc., November) and displays the forecast closest to December with a turnover. The problem is that not all users have access to this company, so the BR does not work for them. I could change the BR to add companies to it so that it works for all users, but I find that cumbersome. Is it possible to save a value (X or 1) in a variable when initializing the forecast so that the BR can query this variable based on the Time scenario and thus know which forecast has been initialized? How do you do this in your OS?
