Excel formulas/formatting SV Hyp Essbase dimensionality

Hello. I am building a large report in Excel/Smart View Essbase. I am having issues with formulas that I have placed within dimension cells. For example, I want to create an IF statement formula to select a certain member for a Financial Element depending on the type of report the user needs to retrieve. When I have formulas in the dimension cells, upon refresh, I am losing the formatting and in some cases the entire dimension in the cells will disappear. Obviously, this is causing a lot of re-work. I am also building this report for others to use, and want to provide a seamless experience for them. I can't see a way to attach screen prints of my SV opton settings, as I am assuming the answer is somewhere in there.
Thank you.

Numbers Equivalent of Excel Formula for Converting HH:MM:SS to DD:HH:MM:SS

I am not sure if this has been asked before.
What would be the Numbers formula for converting HH:MM:SS to DD:HH:MM:SS? The Excel formula is entering 396:59:45 into a cell and then in another cell is the following =TEXT(A2,"dd:hh:mm:ss"). The A2 is the example cell.

There is no formula to actually do the conversion. It is a matter setting the cell format. After that all you need to do is add a simple =<cell> formula to get the value in (i.e. - see my previous post), or a formula to add the two values (=A2+A5). Use Duration rather then Time for the cell formats.
A duration in Numbers for iOS will not appear 10:16:25:03, it will display as 10d 16h 25m 03s. If it is the actual display punctuation you are trying to change, it may be possible using a combination of a Duration and TEXT functions but would be quite lengthy, convoluted, and more trouble than it is worth.

EvDRE - SortRange - AfterRange - Copy Excel formula

Hi all,
In BPC NW 7.5 SP04 I have performed the following actions:
I have sorted the EvDRE based on some column and added an AfterRange parameter.
In the AfterRange cells I have entered various Excel formulas as well as evsub.
The system would copy the Excel formulas to the line with the EV_AFTER and the copy was like standard Excel.
e.g. - In the AfterRange I would specify cell B2. in B2 I would write the formula A1B1.
When the EvDRE would run, assume that the after range had to be in cell E16, The value of E16 would be the result of the formula D15+E15.
This year we have upgraded to SP06. This functionality stopped working. I tackle 2 situations:
1. If the cell is defined in general format - the system simply copies the result of the formula. In the example above if A1+B1 is 0, I would simply get 0 all over (copy the value and not the formula).
2. If the cell is defined as TEXT in Excel, the original formula is copied (i.e. in the example above all cells would have the formula A1+B1).
evsub works as it should.
Any idea why did this happen? is there a note? does the system now works as it should and I simply enjoyed a bug in SP04?
Thanks,
Avihay

Hi Ethan,
I have Accounts in Rows and Time in columns. Range E24:E26 is in AfterRange filed on column expansion. 'E24:E26' range adds prior 2 time columns. I want to display this summation on a particular condition, say only if cell D11 = 1. So I wrote a formula in AfterRange field in Column expansion: =IF(D11=1,"E24:E26","") .
This formula in AfterRage field doesn't work. But if I manually type value 'E24:E26' in that field, it correctly adds up prious 2 time periods. I think the issue is with formatting.
Thanks, John

Smart View - Excel Formulas

Hello -
New to the system, but wanted to know if there's a way to keep Excel formulas after refreshing in SmartView. Appears as though we lose the formulas after clicking the refresh icon.
Thanks in advance

We have this issue as well. It has contributed to our startup with Smartview being very poor and given our implementation a bad name. In our experience, Smartview does not deal well with Formulas. We worked around this by using one tab to feed another with the correct formulas. In our experience, Smartview is OK on raw numbers but do not hope or epect it to output fully formatted excel reports.
In particular, Smartview, at least in our simple implementation, is very poor at mixing Excel formulas into a table.

Hi,
I am able to successfully get formulas dropped into fields on an excel format from Reporting Services. The problem is that whenever, I try using the plus '+' sign in the formula, excel interprets it as a '&' which concatenates the numbers. Is there any way to force it to interpret the '+' as addition and not as concatenation.
thanks

Excell Formulas to Javascript

I just got a request to convert an Excel file to PDF, and make the form calculate. The calculations are pretty complex (at least to me they are). There are four different types of formulas needed. I've copied the information below. Can someone help me with writing the scripts for PDF that would accomplish what the Excel formulas do? I don't even know if it's possible to do and where to start.
Thanks

Break Date:
=IF(A20>0,$A$3+D20," ")
If there is a tag number entered for the corresponding row, the equation will take the date cast and add the number of days until it's break, and give the date of the break. If no tag number (or any form of ID)
is entered into the tag number cell, a blank cell will be shown.
Correction Factor (C.F.):
=IF(N20>0,LOOKUP('Correction Factor'!A3,'Correction Factor'!$C$3:$C$104,'Correction Factor'!$D$3:$D$104)," ")
If there is a number entered in the corresponding Total Load cell, the equation will look up the correction factor value from the list in the correction factor tab based on the length and diameter ratio calculated in column A in the Correction Factor Tab, and give the proper correction factor. If no total load value is given, a blank cell will be shown.
P.S.I.
=IF(N20>0,ROUND(((N20/(3.1415926535*((L20/2)^2)))*M20),-1)," ")
If there is a number entered in the corresponding Total Load cell, the equation will solve (total load) / (pi * (diameter / 2)^2) to get PSI, and then multiply by the corresponding Correction factor to give it the appropriate PSI value. The round function then rounds it to the nearest 10 value. If no total load value is given, a blank cell will be shown.
Average:
=IF(N20>0,ROUND(AVERAGE(O20:O21),-1)," ")
If there is a number entered in the corresponding Total Load cell, the equation will average the values of the 2 breaks for the cylinders cast for that day and round to the nearest 10 value. If no load value is given, a blank cell will be shown.

First there is no direct conversion from Excel formulas to Acrobat's JavaScript. You need to know that even the simplified field notation and the field selection for some calculations both use JavaScript behind the scenes to perform the calculation.
There is no easy date calculation like in Excel in JavaScript, you need to write custom JavaScript to convert the date string to a date object and then convert the date object to a date unit value and perform your calculation and then convert the result back to the date object for conversion to a string value. The format of the date strings is very important for these conversions.
You also need to be aware that JavaScript's use of the IEEE floating point standard for decimal numbers introduces an error when using JavaScript's Math.round method so you need to create rounding function. JavaScript's Math.round method only works for integers.

EVDRE Current View Change displays Excel Formula until Enter is hit

We have EVDRE reports set up where the user can enter key elements prior to running the report.
Example:
Double Click to Select Company =======> EKCO
In the cell where you see EKCO above, we have formula
=EVCVW("FinConsol","CompCode")
FinConsol is the name of our application and CompCode is one of our dimensions.
This cell is formatted as General.
When I double click on the cell (i.e. the one that says EKCO right now) and change the value to something different (i.e. it is changing the curent view)...as soon as I choose the new value from the drop down and click 'OK', the cell changes to the excel formula (=EVCVW("FinConsol","CompCode")) until I hit enter.
Once enter is hit the cell is updated with the new value and the report can be run.
Other users don't have to do this extra step. As soon as they click 'ok' from the drop down the value automaticaly changes. We are using the SAME report and it is acting differently between users. To clarifiy, I ALWAYS have to hit enter to get the change to take place and other users NEVER have to hit enter, regardless of what dimension they are changing in this manor.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It's just annoying and an extra key stroke that seems not necessary.
Thank you,
Vicki

How to convert an Excel Formula to a Custom Calculation Script in a Adobe Acrobat 9 Form?

Hello,
I am not familiar whatsoever with Javascript and need some help in converting the following Excel Formula so that I can enter it into a Custom Calculation Script in a Adobe PDF Form. Here is the formula:
=IF(E15<25.01,9.95,IF(E15<50.01,11.95,IF(E15<75.01,13.95,IF(E15<100.01,16.95,IF(E15<150.01 ,19.95,IF(E15<200.01,24.95,IF(E15>200.00,E15*0.125)))))))
Where "E15" will be the text field named "Subtotal" on my Adobe PDF Form.
Thank you for any help you can provide!

Fortunately JavaScript has the 'switch' statement so nested if statements can be avoided.
var E15 = this.getField("Subtotal").value;
switch(true) {
case (E15 < 25.01) :
event.value = 9.95;
break;
case (E15 < 50.01) :
event.value = 11.95;
break;
case (E15 < 75.01) :
event.value = 13.95;13
break;
case (E15 < 100.01) :
event.value = 16.95;
break;
case (E15 < 150.01) :
event.value = 19.95;
break;
case (E15 < 200.01) :
event.value = 24.95;
break;
case (E15 > 200) :
event.value = E15 * 0.125;
break;
default:
event.value = "";
break;
} // end switch;

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell without having to check the can grow option. When the can grow option is checked it does wrap the text however it spans multiple rows, which causes complications when trying to sort.
It worked in:
ProductVersion=10.0.0.533
ProductName=Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded
Doesnt work in:
Crystal Reports 10.0 Service Pack 6
After the upgrade the reports did not autowrap, b/c the "can grow" option was not checked. I believe this was fixed by "ADAPT00305137 Patch ID: 36479914
Description:
When users export to Excel 97-2000 with the page-based format, text fields are wrapped, even when the "can grow" feature in the
Designer is turned off." . After we turn the option to grow on it does wrap however it spans across multiple rows. So I guess my question is there a way for it not to span multiple rows when wrapping text?
Edited by: dforde on Jan 27, 2010 11:12 PM

I could be wrong, but I believe the export to excel option exports the database values, and the export to HTML exports the values seen in the sheets. If the database values are stored as seconds, the Excel will see them as seconds, and the data will have to be formatted properly in Excel.
I haven't toyed around with Excel exports that much, but it might be possible to set up a template or macro in excel that would have the proper formatting, and use it when opening the Disco export.

Problem with Excel output format

Hi Guys,
I am creating a report in XML Publisher (not standalone). I am facing some problems could anyone please help me to figure out the issues.

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Excel 2007 and Excel 2003 format

Hi all,
we have some problems with Excel file format on BPC 7.5NW SP06:
1- We save input schedules or reports woth Excel 2007 file format. Then when we try to open these report they are corrupted (we click on "Open" and nothing happens). We can download the report from UJFS. The xltx file is corrupted. We can change th file extension to xls. Then we can open the report again.
2- Is it possible to define the default extension when we save input schedules and reports? By default xltx is selected. We want to have xlt selected by default.
thanks for your help,
Romuald

Hello,
First you can try checking if you have configured your apset to work with xltx.
1. Open BPC web admin and select AppSet Parameters
2. Check ALLOW_EXTENSIONS and DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS if you have xltx there
3. If not, add and click on update
If this continues to happen, check note "1579344 - Office 2007 extensions not loading in BPC 7.5 SP6 for NW". This can be a program error, but note that it only happens for some templates.
Hope it helps

Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format

Hi All,
Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format. I'm currently running the following report in SAP and would like the
ability to set this report up as a recurring report running weekly and
subsequently access this report in a useable Excel 2010 format without
much data manipulation. Can you please assist me. Below, I've tried to
provide an example of what I'm encountering. Thanks, beforehand for
your assistance.
Here goes:
Step one: Run 62 Report in SAP S_P99_41000062- Material List Price and
Inventory
Step 2. Select stored Variant "Weekly KPI", ok. Enter the enter the
desired company code and period I want thre report to run for and update
the currency, if necessary. Having input my desired criteria, I believe
I can either execute immediately, run in the background, preset to run
at date in the future. For this example let's just execute, immediately.
This is where the difference originates. Given, I run this report
immediately, I'm able to simply extract the result to Excel via the list
selection noted in the tool bar below. The result is a data friendly
excel 2007 report is automatically generated.
Export to Excel via list:
Select save and Excel 2007 opens automatically:
That said, the method outlined above works perfectly fine if you want
the report immediately. Now let go back and run the exact same report
with exceptoin of running it in the background and having to retrieve it
from the Spool (SP01) uisng my user ID. Given the report generated in
the background, I would now access the report via the spool and make
the following selections:
SP01 + execute to see my report
I would hit the sunglasses to see the actual report, then want to
extract this report to Excel by selecting the export option.
I would at this point select spreadsheet and be given an option to save
the spreadsheet to local file. However, upon trying to open the
spreadsheet I will receive an error messageindicating that the format is
different than that which the file I am currently trying to open it
with. I'm currently running Excel 2010 on my computer. The currency
format and other issues arrise with this extract. Please help.
Thanks,
Chowadary.

Update to Latest GUI.
Use List -> Export -> Spreadsheet to get the output to excel.
I remember in ALV max length allowed is 1023 characters and the max no of columns supported is 90. Issue occurs when row size of exported data gets more than 1023 character. (This includes if Long/Medium Header Text used ) If it exceed 1023 character the columns splits and moves to next row.
Check your fieldcatog for header lengths.

How to use Excell formula's within EVDRE

Hi,
we want to built a rather large P&L with time in columns and account and cost center in the rows.
We would like to insert some subtotals within the P&L strucure using simple excel formula's.
So we create the P&L structure and leave some empty rows in between, which are filled up with excell formula's. The row key range is adapted, so it does not reference the excell formula's. If we hit refresh workbook, our P&L is ready and displaying the correct data.
Problem now is if we select 'expand all'. My entire P&L structure is changed and displayes the last section of the row key range several times (as many as we have different row key ranges) ... I've put "noexpand" on all of the dimensions on row and column ...
So normally does one use the functionality of excell formula's within a EVDRE report?
D
solved it

Hi D
One way is to switch of the expansions and insert the rows and then have the subtotals. to swith of expansion just edit the cell where you have written the evdre function and then remove the formulas pointing to expand range.
EVSUB in after range would not work here as the whole range is related to one dimension and it works if we have two dimensions and need subtotals
