Loading Amount and Annotations together
Hi, not sure if anyone came across with this one but thought it was interesting to share If you have a file which has in the same line amount and annotation you can set View to YTD (or periodic), then in the text value complex expression use this api prop: api.Parser.TextValueRowViewMember = "Annotation" That will make the parser to automatically generate the line(s) with the annotation if text value have a value.

How to deal with an Amount Field that has space as a thousands separator AND a DR/CR indicator!
If you encounter an Amount field that has spaces as the thousands separator AND includes a DR/CR indicator (e.g. 12 345 678 D) then you'll need this to parse the value: Dim strRawAmount As String = api.Parser.DelimitedParsedValues(4) ' Zero-based and adjust for your columns! '----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' If not empty then remove space separator and interpret D/C indicators If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(strRawAmount) Then Dim strAmount As String = strRawAmount.Replace(" ", "") ' 12 345 678 D becomes 12345678D Dim strDRCR As String = Right(strAmount, 1) ' D or C on end of string? Dim dAmount As Decimal = Left(strAmount, len(strAmount) - 1).XFConvertToDecimal ' Strip D or C and convert to Decimal '----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Did conversion to Decimal work? If IsNumeric(dAmount) Then ' This is critical '----------------------------------------------------------------------------- api.ValueIsnumeric = True 'This is critical too!!! Select Case strDRCR Case "C" ' Credit Return (dAmount * -1).ToString Case "D" ' Debit Return (dAmount).ToString '----------------------------------------------------------------------------- End Select End If Else '----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Empty so bypass line globals.Bypass = True '----------------------------------------------------------------------------- End If SteveI just want to confirm how the data copy works in Data Management
Originally posted by George Waddell 11/1/2018 Hi, just want to confirm how the data copy works in Data Management...assuming all intersections from the Source are copied over to the Target? There is no capability to copy all data from source at a specific UD member to another UD member thru the Copy interface? Suppose a Business rule would be required instead?
Clear data using level 1 data unit (rather than level 2) on data load
Hi all I was wondering if it is possible to override the default 'clear and load' settings on a data load step from 'Level 2: Workflow Data Unit' to 'Level 1: Cube Data Unit' Just to give a bit of context: We perform a data copy from a Budget scenario (using Data Management Sequence) to a Forecast scenario to provide a starting data position for divisions to use when they capture their forecast data. Once the data copy is complete, the process for divisions to update their forecasts is to extract an Excel Fixed File Template on which they will make their changes and additions over the copied Budget data, and then to import that file via their Workflow to the cube. However, when wanting to remove an account for instance, the only way to do so it to load zeros to that account. This is because the load clears by account and not entity. Is it possible to change the load so that it deletes all accounts? Thanks, Mark
Duplicate Source Lines From Data Source
Hello there, In an Import WF profile, I would like to duplicate all rows where the UD3 member is different than None. In the duplicated row, I need to change the UD3 POV to 'None' I know this can be done easily through 'Derivative Rules', however I am trying to do so in the Data Source through a 'Complex Expression' or 'Business Rule'. PS: This is bad practice since source data should NOT be altered to keep Audit trails, but in my case I am just exploring possible optionsData load input string format
Hello everyone, We are trying to upload data to OS through a csv but I'm getting the following error I checked the file both with excel and directly with a text editor and it seems the amount is correctly formatted Do you guys have any idea why OS is giving us this error?
