What is the function of an XFGetCell?

• A. It retrieves data based on the parameters supplied.
• B. It saves data to the amount field based on the parameters supplied.
• C. It refreshes data in Excel for calculated functions.
• D. It validates the parameters only.

Answer: (A)

XFGetCell is a read operation that fetches a specific value from the data cube based on the coordinates you supply. By providing the dimensions or parameters that identify a particular cell—such as account, entity, scenario, year, and period—the function returns the exact data value stored in that cell. It’s commonly used in XF reporting and the OneStream Excel add-in to pull live numbers into reports or dashboards. It does not save data, it does not refresh Excel for calculated functions, and it isn’t simply a parameter validator.
