What are user-defined calculations in OneStream?

User-defined calculations in OneStream refer to custom financial metrics that are tailored to meet specific business requirements. This flexibility allows organizations to define calculations that align perfectly with their unique operational and financial scenarios, ensuring that the analysis and reporting are relevant and actionable.

These calculations go beyond standard metrics, enabling businesses to incorporate specialized logic, combine different data sources, and tailor outputs to address internal needs. This customization is crucial for organizations looking to derive insights from their data that are not available through standard formulas or built-in functions.

In contrast, the other options represent more generic features. While built-in functions and standard formulas provide useful tools and information that come with the software, they do not offer the customization that user-defined calculations can provide. Default calculations applied to every report also lack the specificity and tailored approach that user-defined options deliver, thus demonstrating the importance of flexibility in financial analysis and reporting within OneStream.
