Which statement best describes a valid time function to fetch a prior period?

• A. T#WFPrior1
• B. T#WF
• C. T#POVPrior1
• D. Prior#WF

Answer: (A)

In OneStream, to fetch data from a prior period you reference a time dimension member with the T# prefix, specifying how far back you want to move. The correct expression uses a time member that explicitly designates the prior period, such as WFPrior1, which means the week immediately before the current one. So T#WFPrior1 is the valid way to pull data from the previous week. The other options don’t specify a prior period in the proper way or use incorrect syntax. T#WF points to the current or an unspecified week, not the prior one. T#POVPrior1 uses a non-time-dimension naming convention and isn’t recognized as a valid time reference. Prior#WF uses incorrect syntax altogether for time references in OneStream.
