Spreadsheet
The OneStream Windows App Spreadsheet feature enables users to incorporate spreadsheet functionality experienced by users of the OneStream Excel Add-in without needing to have Excel loaded on their computer. It can be used for ad hoc querying/reporting, analysis, data entry, and formatted reports. The Spreadsheet feature enables users to stay within the OneStream Windows App while being able to use functionality similar to what they know and love in Excel. Similar to the Excel Add-in, the Spreadsheet feature leverages OneStream’s re-usable Cube Views for fast and easy analysis. See Navigating the Excel Add-In for more details on this feature.
