Hyperion Reports - HFMCurrency function error when expanding rows

Question

<p>Im using Hyperion Reports 7.2.On the report in the production environment, Ihave a cell containing a HFMCurrency function with a conditionalformatting:</p><p> </p><p>    I<b>n<<HFMCurrency("Grid1", 5, A, 1)>>Thousands</b></p><p> </p><p>    Conditional formatting applied:</p><p> </p><p>        IF Member NameValue contains Contributions</p><p>        OR</p><p>        IF Member NameValue contains Parent</p><p>        OR</p><p>        IF Member NameValue equals Proportion</p><p>    </p><p>        THEN ReplaceString Value : In USD Thousands</p><p> </p><p>The report contains multiple expandable rows. Everytime a row isexpanded it returns this value with an error on the cell containingthe formula:</p><p> </p><p>    <b>In Error: Unable to get cell valueThousands</b></p><p> </p><p>It's weird because the error on the report does not persist inthe development environment. Any insights will be helpful. You mayreply on this thread or send directly your comments to:[email protected]</p><p> </p><p>Thanks.</p><p> </p>

Answer 1

If you use this function/syntax on the row without expansions does it work?<BR><BR>If so, I believe the issue has to do with the syntax. You might need to use the current keyword to make the function dynamic (for example, <<HFMCurrency("Grid1", current,A,1)>>). When you write the formula with a fixed value for rows, it's not dynamic (for the expanded rows). <BR><BR>Although, I wouldn't expect you to get an error, just the wrong description. <BR><BR>To narrow it down, I would try the function on a row w/o expansions or conditional formatting. Then add expansions. If that works, add back the conditional formatting.
