Enter Function in the Formulas assistant - BOFC 7.5

Hello
There is a function name ENTER in the 7.5 BFC version, in the formula assistant, and I want to know what it's doing.
I've tried to find the definition in the guideline and was not able to find it.
Tx for your help
Regards
Christine

Hello,
here is what I found on SAP BFC Knowledge Base :
Symptom
What is the use of the ENTER function in the formula wizard in the category builder of BOFC?
Environment
SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation (BFC) 7.0
SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation (BFC) 7.5
SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation (BFC) 10.0
Resolution
The Enter Function is a 'data entry' function.
For the enrichment of a category in sub-groups, this function can be found in the following situation:
TOP site has set a formula "{AC in%, FL = F99 =}} {FL = F00}
The user does not want, for the accounts that he own, to be calculated.
As the mechanics of Enrichment is to calculate an account, primarily a formula of the same site, the user overloads the formula in sub-groups to manage the items that belong to him.
Syntax:
ENTER (<data>)
Example:
ENTER (in% ) will force the current sections of the site entry.
Note:
This feature can be used alone and has only meaning in the formula of the category
Except the obvious syntax errors, I am not sure that this function is correctly implemented at the moment as after some tests I was not able to validate the category scenario (formula, after being accepted as valid, is disapearing from expression box !).
Regards

USER DEFINED FUNCTION in the formula editor

How do you create a USER DEFINED FUNCTION in the formula editor using BADI

An error occured in a function of the formula - DATE_DIFF

Hi,
I have loaded the Data from PSA to ODS. I need to load data from ODS to InfoCube to MultiProvider. I am trying to use DATE_DIFF for two fields with datatype mm/dd/yyyy in formula.
I am getting the error as "An error occured in a function of the formula".
Please let me know how I can solve this problem.

Hello Deva
Follow any of the below option.
1. Create formula in transformation for the difference ZNDAY
Select Date Functions > DATE_DIFF(ZSTODAT,ZSFRMDAT).
2. You can do it by routine also by using standard FM to calculate the diff bewn two days.
DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES
FIMA_DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES
FIMA_DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES_2
FIMA_LEAP_DAYS_BETWEEN_2_DATES
LEAP_DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES
HR_99S_INTERVAL_BETWEEN_DATES
ISB_DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES
3. If you don't do here you can do it in reporting formula variable.
4. In reporting you can do it with customer exit.
Assign points if your problem is solved.

Is it possible to force a single decimal in a specific column in the formula?

I am working with a report where the decimal placement needs to change in different columns of the same row (due to unions). Therefore, I am looking to show only 1 digit after the decimal point in one cell out of the whole row. Is there a formula I can use that will override the decimal settings made in the column properties tab? I tried to truncate and round but it does not show the proper number of digits after the decimal.
If anyone knows of a solution or workaround, that'd be great!
Thanks

I think if I show you pictures it might be easier to understand.

If you look in the first picture, you will notice that my volume row has the decimal number set to 0 to show only whole numbers. However, you will also see that the last column, union 5, is a % variance from union 3 vs union 4. In union 5, I am hoping to enter something in the formula for that column to force OBIEE to display a number in the following format XX.X instead of XX.
I haven't had any luck using truncate, round, or cast unfortunately...

What is the formula for automatically entering todays date into Numbers. In Quattro, it was '@today', but I cannot find it in numbers. Thx

What is the formula to automatically enter 'current date' into spreadsheet? In Quattro, it was '@today', but I cannot find it in the Numbers spreadsheet. Thx

201,
Do you want it to update or always show the date when entered?
For updates, use the TODAY() function.
For a static date, use Insert > Date and Time.

Jerry

Is it possible to use extensive formulas (e.g. "if" or vlookup functions) in the "Custom Calculation Script"?

I am working on a form fill PDF converted from MS excel. This is for others to use who don't have MS excel that need to use my spreadsheet.
1. I would like to know how complex can the formulas be in the custom calculation script in the calculate tab under properties in a cell menu?
2. Where can I find what formulas will work in the custom calculation script along with the format for those formulas to work correctly (tutorials would help)?
I have tried writing an "if" function but received and error so I am assuming either functions don't work in the script or there is a different format than standard spreadsheet formats.

In that case the for loop would be:
for (var i = 0; i < 8; i += 1) {
sum += +getField("Total." + i).value;
So initially, the counter i is equal to zero, so the field name used with the getField method is:
"Total." + 0, which results in the string "Total.0". With each iteration, the variable i is incremented by 1, so the subsequent field names are the following:
"Total.1"
"Total.2"
"Total.3"
"Total.4"
"Total.5"
"Total.6"
"Total.7"
The script gets the value of each field, converts it to a number, and adds the number it to the running sum.

I cannot get my e-mail to automatically enter addresses in the "TO:" box. In the past, I would get a list of e-mail recipients to appear when I typed 1 letter. That function no longer works. Do I need to change a setting or what?

Can I use the value returned from a Text Function in another Formula?

I'm writing a report in Hyperion System 9 BI + Financial Reporting Studio version 9.2. I have 2 grids in my report.
Grid1 Column A is set up as a text function using the function type - <<GetCell("Grid2", 1, a, 1)>>. I would like to use the values returned from this text function in Column A (Grid 1) in a formula in Column B (Grid 1).
Is it possible to use the values returned in Column A of the text function in another formula? My report does not seem to recognize Column A as numerical values, even though the values to be returned are numerical.
If so, how do I recognize the values in Column A Grid 1 as numerical values and not text?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi Edson,
Yes you need to use the CALC_ERROR macro function to be able to test whether the last macro function returned an error. CALC_ERROR will return an 'X' if there an error occured during the execution of the last macro function.
You can use a macro similar to the following:
IF
CALC_ERROR( )
= 'X'
      DO SOMETHING HERE
ENDIF
Let me explain how this works internally. The SAP system maintains a global variable g_flg_calc_error during the execution of macros in the planning book. The g_flg_calc_error variable will contain the value of f_calc_error that was set by the last macro function which executed. The ABAP coding of a planning book is something like this:
data: g_flg_calc_error type /SAPAPO/FLAG.
* SAP will pass g_flg_calc_error variable to all macro
* functions. When SAP calls a macro function, it does
* something like this.
call function '/SAPAPO/MACRO_FUNCTION_HERE'
        exporting
          plob_values      = i_s_adv_plob_values
          sdp_book         = g_c_advf_sdp_book
          sdp_view         = g_c_advf_sdp_view
        tables
          cols_index       = i_t_cols
          value_tab        = l_t_value_tab
        changing
          f_calc_error     = g_flg_calc_error
As you can see, the g_flg_calc_error variable
is passed in the "changing" part of the call. The macro function being called can then use the f_calc_error
variable to change the value of the global
g_flg_calc_error variable. In fact, the macro function being called can also check (by looking at the f_calc_error variable) if the last macro function reported an error. The CALC_ERROR macro function just checks the value of f_calc_error parameter (w/c in fact is the value of the g_flg_calc_error variable) and returns "true/X" if the f_calc_error was set to true by the last macro function.
Hope this helps in clearing things out

I do not see the DAQ Assistant Express on Functions Input palette.

Software config: Windows XP machine, Traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.4 for PCI 6602. I do not see the DAQ Assistant express on Functions>>Input palette. I get error message when I place the Instrument I/O assistant on the block diagram:-" Measurement and Automation Explorer or Instrument I/O Assistant not installed correctly. Please install from LabVIEW CD". I've tried uninstalling, re-installing driver and rebooting my computer several times.

Hello PJ-SJM,
The DAQ Assistant Express VI installs with the NI-DAQmx Driver and not Traditional NI-DAQ. The good news is that the PCI-6602 is supported in both Traditional NI-DAQ and NI-DAQmx. Check this KnowlegeBase article to find out what version of NI-DAQmx you need and then search the Drivers and Updates page for to find the version you need. Once you download and install the driver you should see the DAQ Assistant Express VI on your functions pallet.
The Instrument I/O Assistant is not for use with DAQ cards, it is for using other communication protocol like serial or GPIB. However, if you need this you can install the Device Driver CD and it should work after that. Note: The device driver CD that came with LabVIEW should also contain the correct version of NI-DAQmx.
I hope this helps, and have a great Friday!

Enter the value of IN parameter of a function at the time of execution

Hi,
I have written a query and created a .sql file. So whenever I use to perform one action, I'll just run the .sql file from my unix box. But in one of the functions of my query, the IN parameter has to be supplied every time coz it changes from time to time. So please let me know the way how can I ask the user to enter the IN parameter for that only one variable whenever he executes the .sql file.
Regards,
Niraj

Hi, Niraj,
There is no way to get input from a user in PL/SQL or in SQL; you have to use front-end tools for that.
If your front-end is SQL*Plus, then you can use substitution variables in the function call. For example:
SELECT *
FROM table_x
WHERE my_function (x, &y, z) = 0;will stop and ask the user to "enter value for y" before compiling the query.
You can also use the SQL*Plus ACCEPT command to define a substitution variable like &y.
I hope this answers you question.
If not, post a complete script (including any tables or functions , other than ones that Oracle supplies) that you need, and a sample of the output you want. E.g "If the user enters 1, then the output should be ... but if the user enters 5, then it should be ...".

Using the 'LOG' Function in a Formula Column

If I write the following SQL statement at the SQL prompt, it works :
SELECT LOG(sal,10) FROM emp ; But, if I write a similar statement in the formula column of a report, then it does not work :
SELECT LOG(sal,10)
INTO x_variable
FROM emp
WHERE empno = :empno ;
return (TRUE) ;
It would be great if someone can help.

Try This..
In the formula columns pl/sql place the following:
function cf_1Formula return number is
num number;
begin
num := log(sal, 10);
return ( num );
end;
-- cf_1 is the formula col name

How do I enter 1E23*Exp(153.08*x) on the formula line in Eval Single-Variable Scalar vi

I am trying to figure out how to enter 1E23*Exp(153.08*x) on the formula line in Eval Single-Variable Scalar vi.
Thanks for your help

just type in "exp" instead of "Exp"

Does anyone know if there is a list of the functions/statements that can be used in the formula parsing (used in the VI Eval Formula String)? I

have figured out a few already (ln(x), log(x), x^y, sin(x), asin(x), sinh(x), asinh(x), sqrt(x), pi(x), exp(x) ) but a complete list would be very useful. At the moment I am trying to figure out if it can handle factorials (x!). Any ideas? I am using LV6i.

Please note that there are some differences to the formula node. Therefore, the help on the formula node lists some functions, that do not work with the Parser VIs.
You can get the G Math manual from: www.ni.com/manuals
Just search for "math".

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys that are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this. Can anyone help? of course this happened after my warranty expired.

**update**
I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose. In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!). Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind. I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store. But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working.
So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off. Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
Hopefully this might help someone.

How can I perform the LINEST function using the new version of Numbers? The old method of using "command enter" to complete the array function does not work. Please help ASAP!!!

LINEST function using Numbers for Mac

Thank you for your help. This page is somewhat helpful, but I still don't quite understand. I am using the Numbers program, and my assignment calls for me to use the LINEST function to return a set of 10 values.
When I googled how to do this, a lot of pages mentioned hitting "command+enter" to complete the array function, but they were using an older version of Numbers and it doesn't do anything when I try it in the new version. I tried using "Index" with LINEST, and i've managed to get about 5 values out of it.
