Excel Add-in and Task Activity Log
Hello, I'm responding to audit requests regarding user task activities and found an active user which has no task activity logged. The user uses the Excel Add-in. What Excel activities are/aren't recorded on the Task Activity log? Is there a way to capture the Excel activities? Thanks!
Quickview Template Formatting Error
I have created a quick view template file, but each time I launch it, the font gets changed to a light gray. This obviously makes it difficult to see and I need to reformat it afterwards. Here is a sample: My QV has "preserve excel formatting" enabled, so I am uncertain what is causing a formatting override. I have tried different primary styles, but it does not stop the format from overriding after closing and reloading the spreadsheet. Here are my options: Has anyone else experienced the same issue or have any insight into how I may fix it?
Saving Offline Copy
My team has recently been unable to save offline copies of Excel files that contain XFGetCells + CubeViews. Prior to this, we had no issues and had saved 100+ files offline as part of quarterly reporting. I have seen prior threads where this has been discussed some time ago, and our team has tried updating preferences, saved elsewhere, etc. with no luck. Is anyone else currently having this issue?
Linking external Excel Spreadsheet to cube view input spreadsheet
Hi all, I'm building a cube view which includes pre-filled columns including 12 months for CY budget, PY actuals and columns for YTD actuals. Additionally, I have included all future months in the year to be for the Forecast scenario for users to input. I have embedded this cube view into a spreadsheet form, so that users can either directly enter their forecast numbers into the spreadsheet in OS app, or it can be opened in Excel for users to complete outside the system. When I open the file in Excel, the CV correctly works and refreshes, and submission correctly writes the cells back to Onestream when FCT1 numbers are entered. However, I am stuck on one thing - is there a way to update the Cube View form cells by referencing other cells in another spreadsheet, or in the workbook? I can link 1 cell individually, but once I reference the cell, it automatically converts to a number and I cannot autofill any formula link to the remaining cells. Most users will either be wanting to link to the budget numbers and adjusting those, or workings they have in their own spreadsheets. I know another option is to use setcells, but I am trying to avoid this method if possible for this purpose. Happy to hear of any thoughts, maybe I'm missing something simple. Able to link 1 cell: Converts immediately to a number and unable to drag cell reference down: Thanks Andrew
Excel add-in V9: Not able to drilldown
We recently upgraded from V7.4 to V9.1 and we’re seeing an issue with the Excel Add-In. A small group of users (about five) are unable to use the Drilldown feature (the option is completely greyed out), while the rest of our users can access it without any issues. All users have been upgraded to the 9.1 Excel Add-In and every other function appears to be working correctly. Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas on how to fix it?
Reducing size of the XFGetCell function
The XFGetCell function has 20 arguments, when you have a large sheet (e.g. for data validation) there can be many of these functions increasing the size of the excel file. In SmartView it was possible to create 1 cell with commonly used arguments and reference that cell at once. In OneStream i'm not able to do so. Off course i cannot imagine that SmartView has a feature that OneStream doesn't so i probably need to change my syntax a bit. Hope you guys can help. So instead of: =XFGetCell(TRUE, "Finance",$A274, "",F$4,F$14,F$5,F$2,$C274,$D274,F$3,$B274,F$6,F$7,F$8,F$9,F$10,F$11,F$12,F$13) I want to create a cell (lets say A1) that has the content: TRUE, "Finance",$A274, "",F$4,F$14,F$5,F$2,$C274,$D274,F$3,$B274,F$6,F$7,F$8,F$9, So my formula would look like: XFGetCell($A$1, F$10,F$11,F$12,F$13) Unfortunately the function put double quotes around the cell so i get the whole string as my DisplayNoDataAsZero parameter and the next few down, missing many parameters (see picture below).
Loading a Journal Excel Template into Multiple Periods
Hi, is there syntax similar to forms to load journals into multiple wf periods? My WF is 1 period, 12 months: I tried using similar syntax to form loads: Template set up as monthly: And I return no messages when I load. Confirmed xfj range is set up on file and all dimensions match. Thinking maybe its my "Time" thats preventing the journal from getting into the system and want to confirm I have valid syntax. Maybe the other option is to set Workflow Time to 2026M1 and make individual journals for each period: Is it possible to do all months in 1 journal?
