Formula syntax errors

Hi All,
I have a formula like this
NODIV(100((A-B)/A))
But this is showing that syntax errors are there. Please let me know if any error is and is it correct?
Thanks in advance
Sravani

Hi,
It is just a matter of doing to much calculation in one fromula.
I presume that there is something missing between 100 and (
First: are the dimensions of A and B the same.
if not first make tho CKF NIDOM(A) and NODIM(B) and then do 100/((A_B)/A)
Hide the first CKF (in properties)
If the dimensions of A and B are the same, first calculate 100/((A_B)/A) and do NODIM with the result.

  • Conditional Formula - Syntax Error

    Hello All,
    I have written the following formula in Bex in BI 7
    (f04=1)((ebit<0)((abs(ebit)-(dep))-1)+(NOT(ebit<0))(ebit(dep)))(not(f04=1))*(ebit-(dep))
    Though i feel that the formula is correct. The system is giving a syntax error. Request you to please help...
    Regards
    Nilesh

    Hi Nilesh,
    Cheack if it works.
    ( f04 == 1) * ( ( ebit < 0 ) * ( ( abs ( ebit ) - ( dep ) ) * -1 ) + ( ( ebit >= 0 ) ) * ( ebit + ( dep ) ) ) + ( ( f04 <> 1 ) ) * ( ebit - ( dep ) )

  • Formula Syntax Error

    I am trying to work with a formula whereby =1/(1+0.1)² ; =1/(1+0.1)³ etc. How do I do this on Mac numbers?
    Each time I enter this formula using the special characters I get the warning: "The Formula contains a Syntax Error".
    Absence of an kind of guidance or information from Apple on such basics is shocking.

    The fact that you appear to be unable to download the well done resource delivered by Apple is shocking.
    The three highlighted items aren't reserved for helpers usage !
    They are useful to learn the required syntax.

    ZDG_FYEAR_C_01 - it has to be a global variable that is described in your planning area. The type of this variable must be 0FISCYEAR. And you have to set up the variable ZDG_FYEAR_C_01 in something.
    Is it so in your system?

  • Error Message: "The formula syntax is not supported by the report"

    We are using 'Development Environment: SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 u2013 Standard ' and using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine and CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer APIu2019s

    Thanx Don & Ludek for the reply.

    CRAXDRT.Report innerReport = application.OpenReport(path, CROpenReportMethod.crOpenReportByTempCopy);
    innerReport .SQLExpressionFields.Add(name, strSQLExpression)
    CRAXDRT.dll provides support for addition/modification of SQLExpression fields. But its not compatible with 64bit.
    Just curious to know, is there any future plan to provide support for add/modify SQLExpression fields?

    Thanks in advance for your attention and replies.
    Andries

    Here it behaves flawlessly.
    I inserted the Bytes values without the thousands separators then applied the separators.
    I'm running a French system so I can't test the behaviour of the English format.
    I'm not sure that you are allowed to enter the commas by yourself.
    Check if the cells are deciphered as Numbers.
    I guess that they are treated as text.

  • Always getting syntax error when using RANK formula. Please help!!

    i am desperate! tried EVERYTHING. so as a last try, I tested the very same Example that Apple gives to elaborate how the "RANK" formula works...and you guessed it....NOT WORKING.
    not even a reconstruction 1 to 1 of the apple example worked, giving me a syntax error.
    thus i am assuming that i am doing something wrong on a very basic level i would have never thought of (maybe a setting i have wrong?, maybe if you have blue as background formulas don't work?).
    i would be sooooo grateful for any help!!!

    Thank you very much for answering this quickly.
    but unfortunately it doesnt work
    i made some screenshots, maybe this way someone sees a maybe obvious mistake i am making

  • The formula contains a syntax error

    Hi i keep getting the following message errors The formula contains a syntax error. I have working with lookup formula so when i change hours is changes the price. Just need to get a total for hours x number of people x price cant seem to get there.
    Thanks Danny

    It's hard to say from your screenshot, but it appears you are either attempting to make a cell reference itself, or the reference is empty.
    There is no need for the parentheses since algebraic hierarchy will result in the same answer.
    Capture the row and column data, post a more descriptive screenshot, or describe the required calculation in greater detail.

  • Syntax error in  a numbers " if" formula

    Hi All:  I hope that somepne can tell me what is causing the syntax error on the following formula:
    =IF(C16>0, =sum(C15+C19+C23+12), =12)
    I have tried just about everything that i can think of and nothing works.  for your info C16 is a numeric field with no formulas. the formula in the if true section, works just find in the spreadsheet.  The if false section, I have tried =12, +12, =+12, and 12.  I am using numbers 09.
    I look forward to everyone's assistance.
    Thanks,
    G.E.

    omit the "=" inside the if() like:
    =IF(C16>0, sum(C15,C19,C23,12), 12)

  • Column Formula with Error in OBIEE 11g

    Hello,
    On Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g, I am trying to create an analysis. The database is MySQL. In the database, there is a field of type varchar(10). This
    field shows a date. In OBIEE 11g, when creating the analysis, in the Criteria tab, I choose this column (varchar) and edit the formula of it. The operation that I want to do is:
    YEAR(CURRENT_DATE) - SUBSTRING("TableName"."ColumnName" FROM 1 FOR 4) where the ColumnName is the name of the column of type varchar(10)
    but I get an error: +[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 27002] Near <->: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012]+
    If I execute the same query directly on the MySQL database, I get the desired result without any error.
    Also, if I use the following formula, I also get an error:
    CAST((SUBSTRING("TableName"."ColumnName" FROM 1 FOR 4)) AS INTEGER)
    So, I am asking why the first query throws an error in OBIEE 11g but not when it runs directly on the MySQL database. Also, how can I convert in OBIEE 11g a string to integer?
    Thank you in advance,
    Griselda

  • REP-1425 report formula DO_SQL error putting value into column

    Hi all
    I have opened a report 2.5 in Oracle9i Reports Developer and, it converted ok. However, when I run the report (paper layout), the message
    rep-1425 report formula DO_SQL error putting value
    into column. Column may not be referenced by parameter
    triggers
    appears. There are several report level formula columns and corresponding placeholder columns that are the cause of this error. The formula has the following :
    SRW.DO_SQL('SELECT RPAD(''DAILY TABLE AUDIT REPORT'',60,''.'')||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,''DD-MON-YYYY'') INTO :REPORT_TIT FROM DUAL');
    COMMIT;
    RETURN('');
    I can't work out what this error message really means as the column, report_tit is a placeholder column and, the formula column is not a parameter trigger!! The report_tit placeholder is used as a source for a layout field. I noticed that the layout field is defined as a placeholder column in the converted report but in the reports 2.5 version, it is defined as a layout field.
    I can do a work around by replacing the SRW.DO_SQL statement with a normal PL/SQL SELECT statement. However, I wonder if anyone else has had the same problem and, if anyone can help provide an answer as to what this error really means and, also, how I can retain the SRW.DO_SQL statement and/or an alternative work around to the one that I have described.
    Thanks.

    Hi again
    The firewall proved to be the problem after all! The firewall set in Reports config-files is not used for WebServices, it has to be set within the stub:
    Properties prop = System.getProperties();
    prop.put("http.proxyHost","yourProxyServer");
    prop.put("http.proxyPort","youProxyServerPort");
    I inserted this in my java-code and after some problems (see below), restarting Report Builder turned the trick, the report works now.
    Cheers
    Tino
    Here there mail I set up before I found that restarting Report Builder helped:
    Thanks for your answer, putting in the proxy-settings actually helped some - the same error message is
    popping up, but instantly and not after 10 seconds like before:
    My proxy lines look like this, I also tried "http://proxy.ch.oracle.com", but "proxy.ch.oracle.com" proved to
    be the correct syntax:
    public Float getRate(String country1, String country2) throws Exception
    Float returnVal = null;
    Properties prop = System.getProperties();
    prop.put("http.proxyHost","proxy.ch.oracle.com");
    prop.put("http.proxyPort","8080");
    URL endpointURL = new URL(endpoint);
    Call call = new Call();
    I tested the new proxy-entries by disabling the proxy preference in JDeveloper, so I could verify the added
    proxy-lines in the code work - they do. If I change the proxy to some incorrect value like
    "proxyy.ch.oracle.com", they fail.
    After unsuccessfully trying recompile and re-import of Java classes, I rebuild the report from scratch and
    stumbled over the same problem. Now the question is, whether I'm still doing something wrong with the
    proxy or whether there is another problem after passing the firewall....

  • Syntax Error using Numbers

    =(B1/50)+(C1/12)-(MIN(D1, [4])+/5)
    it is a formula to calculate weight watches points. here it is as seen on a website.
