How many Time Dimension Profiles are allowed per cube?

In the context of OneStream, each cube is designed to have a single Time Dimension Profile. This is crucial because the Time Dimension Profile dictates how time-related data is structured and reported within the cube. Each profile consists of the various time periods, such as fiscal year, quarter, and month, which are necessary for financial reporting and analysis.

Having only one Time Dimension Profile per cube ensures consistency in how time data is handled, allowing for accurate comparisons and calculations across different periods.

While it may seem that multiple profiles could offer flexibility, it would complicate the reporting and data retrieval processes, leading to potential confusions and errors in analysis. Thus, the limit to one Time Dimension Profile per cube is a purposeful design choice to maintain clarity and integrity in financial data processing.
