Formula/Function Retention in Expansion Area of EvDRE

Hi,
Is there any way I can retain excel formula or function within the area of EvDRE expansion, in an input schedule?
Structure of my input schedule is fixed columns and dynamic rows.
Many thanks,
Shabba

Hi Petar,
Looks like a very helpful answer, thanks for that.
But the issue is bit more complex, I've two dimensions in rows i.e. Country and Account. For each Country a block of Account members is repeated. For example:
Country A, Account 101 - user input
Country A, Account 102 - calculation a
Country A, Account 103 - user input
Country A, Account 104 - calculation b
Country A, Account 105 - calculation c
Country B, Account 101 - user input
Country B, Account 102 - calculation a
Country B, Account 103 - user input
Country B, Account 104 - calculation b
Country B, Account 105 - calculation c
As you can see that within block of accounts each calculation is different from the other. Here it is, also, important to mention that countries in the Country dimension are also not fixed - change with respect to the CV selections. So number of rows can't be fixed.
I would appreciate your response.
Many thanks,
Shabbar

Formula Functions are not working for Input Ready Key Figure

Hi all,
I have created an Input Ready report in BI IP, which is containg number of Characteristics / Key Fig. / Formula Functions.
Here, when I am executing this report, it is throwing below message only for formula functions I am using in the report (where Qty is INPUT READY). Since, by-default formula functions always remain "Not Input Ready"
"WARNING BRAIN (160): Total Importl / APR
Qty cannot be input ready. It is formula element.".
Best Regards,
Jatin

Thank you for your kind reply.
Actually, the issue I am facing here is with formula functions (NOT INPUT READY) which I am using in the report is colliding with Qty (INPUT READY) and throwing error during execution (Not giving me even variable screen).
And also, when I try to change an existing report. It opens in Display mode only.
Please help!
Best Regards,

How can we find formula function in Payroll Formula

Guys,
As far as concern regarding oracle functionality is very vast in particularly in payroll process, mostly functions are built-in to avoid user to create any custom code, but it is not fully covered business requirement. Therefore we need to create our custom function to cover/validate our business need and for this purpose we register this function in formula function, that is the easiest way to add any condition in payroll formula by calling this. Now my requirement is that to find formula name where this function has been used.
Let's suppose any of user is created “X” formula through this functionality and called in payroll formula’s how can we find formula name wherever this function has been called.
Please suggestion

That's a good question. Fast Formula text is stored as a LONG data type which is now a deprecated data type. You can write a PL/SQL utility function to convert the text to a VARCHAR2 and search that but that has two problems:
1) It assumes you have permission to create a function, which isn't something you'll likely have on a production database
2) It'll barf for any formula in excess of 32760 bytes
You can also use the to_lob function to copy the contents of ff_formulas_f into a new table (with a CLOB data type) and then create an Oracle text index to quickly search the CLOB. But again that assumes you have write access.
If you're patient then you can also run this hideous piece of SQL:
SELECT ff.formula_name
,ft.formula_type_name
,src.text source_plsql
FROM ff_formulas_f ff
,ff_formula_types ft
,ff_functions fff
,all_source src
WHERE ff.business_group_id IS NOT NULL
AND ff.formula_type_id = ft.formula_type_id
AND src.name = 'FFP' || to_char(ff.formula_id) || '_' || to_char(ff.effective_start_date, 'DDMMYYYY')
AND src.type = 'PACKAGE BODY'
AND lower(text) like '%' || lower(fff.definition) || '%'
AND trunc(sysdate) BETWEEN
ff.effective_start_date AND ff.effective_end_date
AND upper(nvl(fff.alias_name, fff.name)) = upper('XXC_MY_FFFUNC');
(replacing 'XXC_MY_FFFUNC' with the name of the Fast Formula Function you wish to search). Don't expect it to be fast. What this does is search the generated PLSQL rather than the source formula text. This only looks for customer-defined Fast Formula (those with business_group_id set).

Planning Function Execution Using Formula Function

Is there a way to execute a "planning function" N times in a formula function and being able to change the parameters of the "planning function" on each iteration.
Regards,
salman

Salman,
You should go for any kind of Exit functions when they are really required, I guess your requirement is like such that you have certain selections different in your level and accordingly you are planning.
Then you should go on creating packages as many different selections you can on a level and you call them up using a sequence.
That's good way to deal this, I hope this is a helpfull input for you

Error in a formula function (routine 66 ), record 4,161 RSAR 535

Hi Experts,
I am facing this issue while loading form DSO to Cube. So i am using
Maximum Number of Errors per Pack more then 1000 to skip the error records.
In Error stack i get the below error :
Error in a formula function (routine 66 ), record 4,161 RSAR 535
Can any body help me on this.
Thanks in advance
Mohan.

i am doing datamart load ie DSO to cube
so while loading in DTP in update tab i have selected max no of error recods to be skipes = 9000 this will ignore the records if at all there are error records in the flow.
i know there are few records. but what i want is to identify wht the error in the record is
when i try to chk the records in Error stack if i selet a record to change with change mode i also get a pop up with the error msg
Re: Error in a formula function (routine 66 ), record 4,161 RSAR 535
Which i dont really under stand what and were the error is
i even compared the data of correct record which is alredy processed to the cube.
I could not find much difference

Error in formula function (ROUTINE_18) record 1

Hi All,
We are loading a flat file in to a DSO. From here we are loading the data from DSO to a cube (using this DSO as a Export datasource). In the export datasource infopackage, we are giving date in the selection screen and loading the data. before it is working fine. Now when we try to load the data, i am facing the error " Error in formula function (ROUTINE_18) record 1" and the data was not moving from the PSA to the infocube.
Recently we have upgraded the BI system from 7.0 version to 7.3.
Please let me know the reasong for the failure and how to correct it.
I have replicated the Export datasource and even i re-generated the DSO as export datasource but no use and getting the same error.
Thanks,
jack

Ok...you have a BW 3.5 flow.
As you said you have selection at InfoPackage level. Please check whether the InfoPackage without selection works or not.
If it works then you have the problem in Selection field.
Also check if there is any problem in Update Rule /Transfer rule
If you have selection routine written at InfoPackage level, create a new InfoPackage ( Full) and load .

BI 7.0 Bex Analyzer Workbook - Convert to formula function features

Hello,
when using the convert to formula function in a BI 7.0 Bex Analyzer Workbook (WB) the result area becomes completely static.
1.) Is there a possibility to add drill downs / across into an already converted to formula WB?
2.) I inserted drop down boxes to allow F4 like selections, however those are pointless if several characteristics are being used i.e. the keyfigure results get blanked out. Is there another way to do this at all?
3.) Could someone provide me with a real live example / whitepaper how the convert to formula function can be used?
Many thanks for any feedback on this.
Regards
Christian

It does become static and all the workbook gets all the excel property.
The key figures are now calulated on the basis of your data provider from the server as a formula in each cell..
I had used to populate my key figure only for the required values of a characteristic.

Where do I find examples of how to use formula functions? Online help only provides syntax

Hello,
I would like to run a formula ( for my custom field in Project 2013) that allows me to see the Finish Time e.g. 17:15 for a task. I am trawling through the online help to determine which one is best but I would like to read some examples
of how a function can be used. I hoped Help may do this but no.
Hope you can point me into the right direction. Thanks in advance.
Alan

Alan,
Yeah I agree, the on-line help is lacking in information on how to actually USE a function. However, there are some places that may help. Here are a couple, I'm sure there are many others.
https://support.office.com/en-nz/article/Project-functions-for-custom-fields-7e525143-380f-4083-8d5a-3ecc6ba44f22
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee767700(v=office.14).aspx
Since many of the custom field formulas are also used in VBA, I've found the object library reference for VBA to be very helpful in understanding and setting up custom field formulas. To get the the object library, go to Developer/Code group/Visual Basic.
Once the Visual Basic Editor window opens, hit View/Object Browser. Hit the Help menu and select the Help for Visual Basic. Type in the function of interest.
However, you say you want a custom formula to see the finish time for a task. You don't need any customization to see that. Simply go to File/Options/General tab and select a date format that includes the time.
Hope this helps.

Any Function module or BAPIs are available to get scheme name for the inter

I have internal order no value in table AUFK-AUFNR , and the internal order corresponding Scheme value is available in IMPR-PRNAM . Now I want to inner join both the tables to extract the data , but there is no common field . Is there any Function module or BAPIs are available to get scheme name for the internal orders?

look at DB-VIEW "V_IVP_OR".

How to assign the output of a function to a text area: a PLSQL challenge

I have a function that returns a PLSQL table of varchar4(4000)
Here is its signature in a package:
create or replace package researcher_request_pk
is
TYPE query_table_type is table of varchar2(4000) index by binary_integer;
FUNCTION RequestSQL(P_RRQ_ID in number) return query_table_type;
end;
I use this to get around the 32k limit on clobs and varchar2 variables
I want to assign the output of the function to a text area. I've tried the following PLSQL in a dynamic action and also as the source attribute of the Text Area but it doesn't populate the text area.
Here is the code i'm using
declare
v_table researcher_request_pk.query_table_type;
begin
v_table:=researcher_request_pk.RequestSQL(:P64_RRQ_ID);
for i in 1..v_table.count loop
htp.prn(v_table(i));
end loop;
end;
Any ideas on the correct syntax to do this?
thanks in advance
PaulP

Thanks for your reply
The function does populate the PLSQL table with data. e.g. If I place that exact code in a PLSQL region it generates the output on the screen with no problems. The problem is just generating the output into the text area.
I want the text area to display the output of the PLSQL table (-a dynamic select SQL statement) which I then plan to execute to return records.( i.e. I've build my own runtime query builder)
My plan is to allow the user to edit the SQL output first before sending the statement for execution.
Funnily enough I do get the very first word of the first cell appearing, namely 'SELECT' but nothing else. Maybe the "||" that follows has something to do with the rest of it not appearing?? hmmm... will experiment more.
thanks

I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing.

I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing. I do not use iCloud because I have no wifi at home, limited data available for regularly backing up, and I have a 64GB phone and don't wish to pay to upgrade from the 5GB iCloud storage. Am I doing something wrong? It worked so seamlessly on my loaner phone that I am completely stumped as to why it will not restore those items to my original phone again.

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service. Your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have chosen to sync.
If you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

Formula Functions - A basic question

Hi,
This must be very basic. Please bare with me.
What is the difference in defining a formula function as 'External' and 'User Defined Function' and 'Formula' class?
I read some where that you can use contexts in class 'External' and cannot in user defined. But when I see the seeded formula functions both the types have contexts. Is this classification insignificant? Can somebody clarify this.
Thanks in advance.

If I understand correctly, you are saying that neither of the shift keys work and that the spacebar does not do anything? Which operating system is installed and  what keyboard is installed? (see image) Click on it and you will see which keyboard is installed. Do you have a multilingual user profie setup? That is the reason my keyboard shows in the taskbar.

Withholding tax Formula Functionality

Dear Gurus
Is there any way of using the Withholding tax Formula Functionality with an option of four decimal places. Currently, the WHT formula allows for only two decimal places and therefore does not suit the Indian Income Tax law.

Abhishek

HI,
currently above functionality is not available in standard system .
You need to create a Develop request.
