Speed up procedure development with virtual cubes “on the fly”
Hi @Product Management Team , at the moment, every time you realise that you need an additional virtual cube, you have to exit edit mode, switch to options, create a new virtual cube, save it, save the procedure, switch back to edit steps mode. And only then you can define the new data flow. It would be much better if a…
How can I flag all periods between 2 dates?
Hi, I need to load some discount values from a table in SQL but the table does not have a month column. Instead, we have 2 separate columns; for Start Date and End Date. In normal circumstances, I would just take the last value from each of these dates and subtract the two lists, leaving me with the period between being…
Calculate data flows on GPU (ILGPU)

Nexel when transitioning to Web Capsules
Hi, I'm having an issue with existing Nexel layouts transitioning capsules from Client to Web (now on Board 10.7) - every time the procedure is ran (which includes 'Save data entry' step) Nexel doesn't save to the cube anymore (it only contains the values we prepopulate the cube with to give us a base). My current work…
About the steps marked "Call procedure" in the procedure
Hello. When I executed a step within a procedure that called another procedure, the message in the attached image appeared and the step was not executed. I put the steps of the procedure I wanted to call in the procedure that was calling it, and the procedure ran without any problems. Why does this error occur? If anyone…
How to extract entities in code with cube extraction
Hello. I'm currently failing to reload the data because the input data in the cube is extracted with the description rather than the code. I think the problem could be solved if the data could be output in code. I would like some advice as I am currently facing this issue and don't know how to resolve it. I'm sorry that…

Data Flow functions
I would suggest two new functions in a procedure Data Flow. A setting in the step that would make the dataflow work similar to the Data Reader setting "Replace Time Slice". This would sometimes reduce the need to pre-clear the cube before repopulation in the datafloe. A setting in the step that would mimic the Data entry…
Data flow: Copy cube down to a more granular one
Hi, we have a cube with data at Regional level and would like to copy it to another Cube at Country level. So we are going from a higher and aggregated level to a more granular one. The target cube has already data so we would like that the copy spreads the total by Region to its different country members. It should be…
Temporary Entity
Just like we have temporary cubes in procedures sometime we need dummy entites of one or two members may be more depending upon calculations, so like temporary cubes how about having temporary entites??
Calculate difference between two dates?
Hi there, I am trying to calculate the difference between two dates as part of a dataflow, which has previously worked, but is no longer working after the 12.6 update. This is a smaller subset of a larger calculation, but have narrowed down the issue to be related to the dates. You can note below the cubes have different…
Procedure - DataFlow - Algorithm of dataflow (c=a*b) should show the headings of source blocks
When editing the blocks of a DataFlow LayOut, it's possible to set headings to each blocks. When saving the DataFlow, the heading of the target is displayed in the algorithm / detail, but not the heading of the sources. It could be usefull to have the headings set in LayOut for sources as well.
