Which other setting in addition to Account Type needs to be set to DynamicCalc when using an Account dimension type?

• A. Formula type
• B. UD type
• C. Entity type
• D. Scenario type

Answer: (A)

DynamicCalc is a way to compute account values on the fly rather than pulling them from stored data. When you’re using an Account dimension type, you must define not only what kind of accounts you’re dealing with (Account Type) but also how their values are derived. Setting the formula type to DynamicCalc tells OneStream that these accounts are calculated at runtime via a formula, instead of being preloaded as static figures. This enables flexible, on-demand calculations across the framework. Other dimension settings like UD type, Entity type, or Scenario type govern different aspects of the dimensional model and don’t determine how account values are calculated, so they aren’t the setting that enables dynamic calculation in this context.
