#Computational error in DeskI Formula

Hi,
I need to create a single column which has around 20 objects. Out of those some are dimensions and others are measures.
While creating fromula I getting #computational error specially when adding adding measures (1st measure) to the formula.
For e.g D1.......D10 are dimensions and M1 ....M5 are measures then I writing formula as
=D1D2D3D4If (Isnull(D5) Then " " Else D5)D6D7+M1 -
resulting me #computational error
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Suresh Babu Aluri.

Hi,
Try using the 'FormatNumber' function to add the measures to the string you are building.

Computational Error when using if then formula in a block, when the formula

Hi all,
I am getting a computational error on one of my reports,
where i have created a new variable. The variable is an "if and
then" formula which uses the date variable. However if i leave the
date variable in the report block then the new variable is fine and
works. However due to the nature of the report we would like the
report to give a summary over a date range. In normal circumstances
i would be able to simply drag out the date variable from the report
block and it would create a summary. Unfortunatley in this instance
i get the dreaded "computational error". I know its due to the fact
that business objects requires the date variable present. Is there
any way around this...
I've seen some manual work arounds i.e table
properties and hide the date field, and then group header for each
category with totals and then table properties and select Fold so
that it shows the total (one for each product, rather one for each
day and each product). Just wandering if there is perhaps a more
efficient way around this. your help will be much appreciated.

I don't think it is possible to lock in the date and time using a formula. You could put NOW() in a cell, copy, and Edit Paste Formula Results where you want the result.
Or if you are "time stamping" a lot, you may find this Automator Service (Dropbox download) helpful. It puts a "Today" function (actually it should be named "Now" because it includes both date and time) in your Services menu like this:
Just doubleclick the .workflow package to install it. You may have to click "download anyway" in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
If you want you can assign the service a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences here:

(Initially my bo reports are pointing to dev bex query at that i dont hav any prb in rich client)
Now i want to open the webi reps in rich client to apply some alert settings..
Pls advice me..
thx
mahi

yes variable V_order cuts having below formula..
= If(IsNumber(1 Where ( [Report ID] = "RPT7" And [Reconciliation Flag]="X" ))) Then "Red"
Else If(IsNumber(0 Where ( [Report ID] = "RPT7" And [Reconciliation Flag]="Y" )) ) Then "Green"
Else "No data"
And this variable is working in the rep, but if i use any other fields from the source like rundate/rep id/reconciliation flag/... which are coming from bex query then we are getting this #COMPUTATION error..
And whn i include this variable with rundate then also im getting this error
thx

#COMPUTATION error in Median?

Hello,
I am a bit new to BusinessObjects so maybe this is trivial.
When I try to use the Median function, it fails with error #COMPUTATION.
I made a small request returning 5 values from an Universe. A table with formula "=)". But the cell displays "#COMPUTATION".
The curious thing is that replacing Median by Average, Count, Product, RunningSum or any other agregate works. It is just Median that doesn't work. I would assume they all work the same.
Does anybody know how to make Median work?

Hi Florian,
Following information might be helpful in resolving the issue.
The "Median()" function returns the median of a given set of numeric values. The median is the middle number in the set. Logical and empty values are ignored; however, zero is included.
Example 1:
If an object contains the values {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, then the formula is used as follows:
=Median(<Object>)
The result is "3".
Example 2:
If there is an even number of numbers in the set, then the median function calculates the average of the two numbers in the middle.
If the object contains the values {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, then the formula is used as follows:
=Median(<Object>)
The result is "3.5", which is the average of "3" and "4".
Note: This function is only used for numeric objects, which are Measures with the aggregation set to "none". Dimension objects will return #computation errors.
Note: The extended syntax for this aggregate function allows you to further delimit the context on which the function is to be applied. The context can be specified with In, ForEach, or ForAll operators.

Computation error

How to solve computation error on this code
=If (<DIMENSION 1(DP1)>=0) Then 0 Else If (IsNull(<DIMENSION 1(DP2)>)) Then <MEASURE 1 (DP2)>
I HAVE TRIED TO CHECK FOR CONTEXT BUT MY UNV DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTEXT I ALSO ALTERED THE FORMULA MANY TIMES BUT IN VAIN.
IS THERE ANY OTHER METHOD
THANKS,

One question, are the data providers coming from same universe or universes are different.
In case the DPs are from different universe this is not possible.
In case they are coming from Same universe two DPS in that case we will have to make sure that there is type of join bw the objects to correlate data .
Hope this helps.

Windows could not start the FLEXnet Licensing Service service on Local Computer Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

Today I installed Adobe Director 11.5. I received a couple of errors in the FLEXnet Licensing Service. It looks It could not start. I tried to download the Licence fix what I found on Google but that doesn't work, so I checked the 'Service' at service (windows).
It's status is empty. When I double click on the FLEXnet Licensing Service, clicked on start at the opened window and an error is coming:
Windows could not start the FLEXnet Licensing Service service on Local Computer
Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.
I don't understand what it says with this message, only that it is impossible to start. However, that is not what I am trying of course, I want to start the FLEXnet Licensing Service, service.
Re-installing of the software, doesn't make any change. How can I start it so Director is also working?

HP recovery could not restore computer error code 0xe0ef000e

I bought a nice Solid State drive. Unfortunately it is not possible to upgrade my system to new hard drive. It fails every time with HP recovery could not restore computer error code 0xe0ef000e. This is after removing everything... graphics card, ram, cd drive... nothing is plugged in except the keyboard, monitor and mouse.
Windows 8 strikes again. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to actually use the recovery disks to reinstall windows 8 onto a new solid state drive. I hate this computer and wish I would have never bought it actually. It's been nothing but crap from day one.

It's the HP 500-023w desktop. I ended up just buying a Winodws 8.1 OEM disk and installing that on the SSD. The recovery tool is a bit useless. Reading through various forum posts it seems I would have ended up spending hours trying to figure it out or else buying the recovery disks from HP. Just paying $89 for an OEM disk is a good deal by comparison since at the very least the computer has no bloatware on it now.
What a hugely unnecessary hassle really. Now if only I could get this heap of junk to boot with a PCI-e graphics card installed I might actually be able to use it with two monitors. Good grief.

When I try to scan a document on my MF8050cn, I get a "Connect Computer" error.

When I try to scan a document on my MF8050cn, I get a "Connect Computer" error. I am running Windows 8. My device is directly connected to the computer. I can print from the computer to the printer without issue. I get this error when using the controls on the device.
If I try to use the MF Toolbox - Scan Function controls, I get the following error message: "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." When I click "Switch To", it brings me to the Windows 8 tiles screen but does not resolve the issue.
Please help!

first time posting so not sure this ended up in correct area...
I had same issue except only repairing the permissions didn't solve anything for me. *_If you recently upgraded your iTunes to 8.2_* check your permissions for errors, fix the errors, then restart computer and if that doesn't fix it, then try one of the 3 solutions below as there is a *known burn issue with the recent 8.2 update!*
My permission errors - permissions differ on ./Applications/iTunes.app/contents... etc, should be -rw-rw-r--, they are -rwxrwxr-x
I called Apple Care and we figured out 3 work arounds til a fix is released.
Solutions 1,2 are recommended by Apple Care. I used solutions 1 (easy) and then 3 (complicated).
Option 3 is a pain and takes A LOT of time and HD space or external HD if you have tons of music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc, loaded into your iTunes.
_*3 possible solutions:*_
1. Use the Finder window already built in the mac (to burn onto blank cds) -
Open Finder Window, go to File in the Menu Bar at top of computer, create a new Burn Folder, drag items to the folder and click on the burn icon inside the folder, insert blank disk when asked, add name, select burn speed, burn the cd.
2. Use the app Burn 2.3U -
Found at Apple.com in download section works like a Finder Window and converts audo files to MP3 automatically. (You can set up iTunes to do this as well)
3. Install an older version of iTunes 8.0.2 (couldn't find 8.1 thru 8.1.051) -
I found 8.0.2 at Apple.com, this process is complicated and you will need lots of HD space or external HD to do this because you'll want to back up your music library and you will need to delete version 8.2 BEFORE trying to install an older version. Otherwise stick with option 1 or 2 til a fix is released by Apple.
I ruined 8 blank cd's that actually burned but then I got the error message "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer (Error)" at end of burn cycle and sometimes early disk ejections. _*I had no problems before the iTunes update in the past 5 days.*_ Still can't read/play the 8 disks but the problem went away!
I had burned 20 cds no problem last week with same media disks that were producing errors after doing the iTunes update, now after chosing to downgrade my iTunes I'm back to burning with no issues!
8.2 has 2 versions 32bit or 64bit, one of them may be PC/Windows version only but not sure which one I upgraded to or if that's even a factor with the permission errors I had.
Best wishes

Error in a formula function

Hi,
i ran the infopackge.load was failed.failed request is showing Record 1 :Error in a formula function (routine ROUTINE_0001 ), record 1 .why this error is coming.how can i solve this issue?
Thanks,
Ali

Hi,
As refered by the posts above , you need to edit the data in to PSA, now try going through the procedure below:
1. Once data is loaded till PSA , ther will be a "process Manually Tab" in the status of the ip, press that.
2. Now you will get the error in the processing packets .
3.make the IP red , delete the failed request from target( Info cube), sice for DSO there is a specific procedure.
4.now go bak to ip click on the psa tab, the error displays record '1', so select the first record in PSA, put the size of the record in the no. of error records and select " error record".
5. now you will se this error record in the PSA.
6. Click on the edit record , you will se the canonical structure of the record with its field.
7. No try editing th record for there might be a entry which seems to be diff from other(compare with correctly loaded records).
8. edit it , save the changes.
9. now either recostructing the PSA or manually pushing the failed request to target.
Hope this will serve your cause
Thax & Regards
