How many Time Dimension Profiles are allowed per cube?

How many Time Dimension Profiles are allowed per cube?

• A. 2
• B. 1
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer: (B)

A cube uses a single Time Dimension Profile to define its time structure, including which periods, years, and fiscal calendars are used and how they relate. Because all data in a cube shares one consistent time context, OneStream enforces just one Time Dimension Profile per cube. This keeps time mappings, calculations, and aggregations unambiguous and prevents conflicts that would arise from having multiple time axes within the same cube. If you need a different time model for analysis, you would typically use separate cubes or design the time structure within the existing framework in other ways, rather than layering multiple profiles on one cube.
