List of Unsupported Excel Functions

I just discovered Xcelsius doesn't support the "indirect" function. Can you provide a list of all functions that Xcelsius doesn't support so I can avoid them? Thanks very much!

Even I am facing the same error when I preview or save as a SWF, Xcelsius warns: "UnSupported Excel Function: INDIRECT indirect" and terminates the attempt.
I am using nested functions: "=IF(ISBLANK(INDIRECT("'"&'Summary'!D14&"'!B12")),"",INDIRECT("'"&'Summary'!D14&"'!B12"))"
Any ideas why xcelsius is throwing up an error when it lists INDIRECT as an supported function? I am using the most recent version (5.2.1.0, build 12,2,1,94).
Can anybody help me out with a workaround for navigating between worksheets without indirect function???
Thanks in Advance!
Cheers!!!

Question About Unsupported Excel Function Workarounds

Hi everyone! I hope this is ok to post something like this here. I haven't seen any rules against it so I am hoping I am able to. My apologies in advance if this is something I should ask in another location.
My question / issue is in regards to the unsupported ISNA and ISBLANK functions in Excel. I can't seem to find a suitable workaround for XCelsius without using those two formulas in Excel and I am hoping someone here will be able to help or guide me.
I have a cell that is for my input. If that cell has nothing in it I want Excel to continue to return the #N/A error as it is ignored and not shown in the List Box I have built in XCelsius. If there is a value input and it is not found in the Excel model I want it to return "No Record". Finally, if it is found then it will display the appropriate list of items.
Any suggestions on a way to get this to function within Excel that will be compatible within XCelsius?
Thanks in advance for your help everyone!

Hi Aaron,
both ISNA and ISBLANK are supported functions. The support for most IS() functions was added in SP1. They are not in the list in the help yet, but there should be the list of added functions in release notes. So, the following functions are supported:
ISERR
ISERROR
ISEVEN
ISODD
ISLOGICAL
ISNONTEXT
ISTEXT
TYPE
ISNUMBER
ISNA

Error: Unsupported Excel Function SUBTOTAL

I am receiving a runtime error that the Subtotal function isn't supported. However, SUBTOTAL is on the list of supported functions in help. What's going on here? Do I have to replace all of my subtotal functions with sums?

I also faced same issue with Xcelsius 2008 SP4. It seems like it is wrongly documented in the user guide. Custom add on function may be created for this feature.

Unsupported Excel function: IFERROR

I am currently running Xcelsius 5,3,4,0, Build 12,3,4,1038.
I thought that the IFERROR function of Excel was supported, but when I preview my chart I get the above message.
The formula I am using is:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($B$47,$B$2:$N$44,2,FALSE),0)

Hi,
We have a privelage to add some advanced excel fucntion to xcelsius , the following link shows how you can add

Unsupported Excel Function: RANDBETWEEN

I am using a random number generator in my excel and linking the randomly generated text to a ticker component in XC. I can do this, but get the above error message when saving to HTML. This message appears when generating the swf.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Stan

Unfortunately, RANDBETWEEN function is not currently supported. You can use RAND() instead. As Excel help says,
To generate a random real number between a and b, use:
RAND()*(b-a)+a

Adding "Filter Criteria" to the XSLT List View Web Part impact on "Export to Excel" functionality within Document Library

Hi there,
XSLT List View displaying all the list items within the Document Library. In order to implement the Search functionality within Document library out of box "Text Filter" web part is configured as explained below. The solution is similar to
the one suggested at
http://www.wonderlaura.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=77
"Text Filter" Web Part added to the page.
Filter Criteria (i.e., XSLT List View columns) added to the XSLT List View where the filter parameters take the input from the "Text Filter" Web Part .
3. Both Web Parts (XSLT List View and the Text Filter) are connected.
When the search criteria is entered into the "Text Filter" Web Part, it is passed to the relevant Columns of the XSLT List View and the documents (List Items) that match the search criteria are shown within XSLT List View.
Search functionality working as expected.
Query: Selecting the "Export to Excel" icon from the ribbon generates the excel spread sheet with no data except Column Titles from the Document library. In the investigation it is
found that adding the 'Filter Criteria' on XSLT List View is causing this bug. When the Filter Criteria is removed, then "Export to Excel" functionality is working as expected.
But it is mandatory to add "Filter Criteria" to implement the search functionality with in the document library.
Help: Help/input appreciated on the work around to get the "Export to Excel" functionality work when the "Filter Criteria"
exist on the XSLT List View.
Regards,

Once again thanks very much for your help Scott. very much appreciated.
In the investigation it is found that removing the 'Filter Criteria' on XSLT List View makes the "Export to Excel" functionality work. But the 'Filter Criteria' is mandatory to get the 'Document Search' functionality.
I think that due to technical limitations it should be concluded that 'only custom development can make all work, no code solutions using the SharePoint Designer can meet all the requirements.
If you can think of any alternative solution that could help in resolving the current issue or fix the issue without any custom implementation please inform. Otherwise this issue would be marked as resolved with your suggested response.

Cfspeadsheet not picking up data from cells using excel function indirect

I am receiving data from comany executive in a sreadsheet and trying to post selected data to a company intranet by reading the data using cfspreadsheet. for the most part, cfspeadsheet works, however, this speadsheet is rather complicated. The spreadsheet uses the excel indirect function to determine which data to post. When I read this cell, or any cell dependent on it, with SpreadsheetGetCellValue, if get the cell formula instead or the calculated value for the cell. Is this function not supported by cold fusion?
Is there any way around this?
Is the a list somewhere of which Excel functions are or are not supported?

Thanks for your reply...
it is now displaying data in independent cells , but is it possible to add multiple headings in that excel sheet.
ex
Heading 1
heading 2
Column Headings-------
Is it possible to do that way?? for column headings i think we need to pass in fields parameter of Tables...
can we include multiple headings???
Thanks for help..

BusinessObjects SDK - Save as Excel functionality

Hi Experts,
I have a question for anyone experienced with the SDK and the BOBJ apis. We are presenting WEBI reports to Partners, so we want to display the reports without the toolbars and only show the reports. We do not want to confuse them will all the extras :). We have done this, but, we have now been asked to provide the "save as excel" functionality to the users while still keeping all the toolbars hidden. So our goal is to just add our own button that will call the same functionality as file -> save as excel. Does anyone know if there is a specific function we can call from the apis that will perform this action?
Second, and not sure if this is possible or not (hope it is). We also have some xcelsius reports displayed to the user in flash. We would also like to add the same functionality, giving the user the ability to click a button and save as excel. Does anyone know if there is a specific function within the xcelsius specific classes that would allow us to do this as well?
Thanks!
-Kevin

Hi Kevin,
If you are using the Business Objects Enterprise BI 4.0 then you can modify the crystal report viewer format list where you can export to any particular format.
Please refer to the below mentioned Blog by Ted Ueda :
[SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise BI 4.0 - Modify the Crystal Reports Viewer Export Format List|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/22845]
As mentioned, you could only allow the excel format to be exported by your customers.

Best practises for using Excel functions on Power Pivot Data

Hi
How do you suggest to perform calculations on cells in a power pivot table? Obviously the ideal approach is to use a DAX measure. But given that DAX doesn't have every function, is there a recommended way of eg adding an "extra" ( ie just
adjacent) column to a pivot table. ( in particular I want to use beta.inv )
I could imagine one option of adding some VBA that would update the extra column as the pivot table itself refreshed ( and added more/less rows)
thanks
sean

Hi Sean,
I don't know what's your expected requirement regarding this issue, maybe you can share some sample data or scenario to us for further investigation. As we know, if we need to add extra column to PowerPivot data model, we can directly
create a calcuated column:
calculated columns:
http://www.powerpivot-info.com/post/178-how-to-add-dax-calculations-to-the-powerpivot-workbooks
There are some different between Excel and DAX functions, here are the list for your reference:

Does Numbers support Excel functions CELL, SUBSTITUTE, and REDIRECT?

Been trying to find the list of Excel-compatible functions but did not succeed. I would like to use Numbers to edit my Excel files in iPad. I often generate reports by pulling data out from a seperate sheet using Excel functions like CELL, SUBSTITUTE, and REDIRECT. I have not purchased Numbers yet, that is why I would like to know where I find the complete list of Excel-compatible functions or at least know if Numbers support these functions. Thank you in advance.

Numbers does support the function substitute()
I did not see the functions cell() and redirect() in the function browser.
There is afree function reference here:

Excel Function iserror is not supported

Hi !
I am using vlookup along with iserror to remove an errors that result of a logical lookup.
For e.g. a sample formula on my sheet would look like
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,A1:B22,2,0),"",(VLOOKUP(A1,A1:B22,2,0))
Everytime I build a preview, Xcelsius comes back to me with "iserror function not supported". Does Xcelsius not support this function?
Xcelsius Version: 2008 (Version 5.1.1.0, Build: 12,1,1,344)
Regards
Pranav Gaur

Correct, the formula =ISERROR() is not supported in Xcelsius 2008.
For a complete list of all supported formulas, please go to Help --> Xcelsius Help. Then expand the last expandable section called "Supported Excel Functions".
edit: ISERROR is supported from SP1 forward (as noted in Margaret's post). My original post was based off of information from the initial release of Xcelsius 2008.

How to find out list of procedures and functions inside a package

How I can find out the list of Procedures and Functions inside a Package.

Look at ALL_PROCEDURES and ALL_ARGUMENTS.

OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT is on Adobe's list of unsupported GPUs for Open GL rendering-

My Mac Pro's Radeon X1900 XT is retired to my computer grave yard, in my basement, but going back to the OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT, which shipped with my Mac Pro, brought some encouraging results.
When I first got the 2007 Mac Pro, in 2009, I was running it in Mac OS 10.4.4.11 Tiger and Photoshop CS4 (11.0.0) would disable Open GL rendering when it detected the stock nVidia GeForce 7300 GT card, which was on Adobe's list of unsupported graphics GPUs. So, I purchased a refurbished Apple Radeon X1900 XT. This card allowed Photoshop CS4 and Bridge CS4 to enable Open GL Rendering. Over the last year, the Radeon X1900 XT graphics card has been creating stripes on my screen when it is running hot and sometimes the dual displays would just shut off while I was working. Also, the computer was doing hardware freezes about once a day. This morning the Mac Pro shut down it's dual displays, while I was working, and I had to do another cold shut off in order to restart. I then manually shut the computer down and did a manual boot-up so that Snow Leopard would employ disk maintenance.
I shut the computer off and pulled the Radeon X1900 XT card and re-inserted the OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT card. Now I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) instead of Photoshop CS4 (11.0.0).
Now, the updated Photoshop CS4, under the newer OS, is enabling Open GL rendering instead of disabling it. This graphics card's hardware limitation is now fixed, so I see no reason to buy the ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for my Mac Pro:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/6615718/
Some who have purchased the Apple ATI Radeon HD 5770 say they still got the striping on their display when the Radeon HD 5770 card was running hot, just like with the Radeon X1900 XT.
So far, the OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT is working fine and I'm not getting any striping on my displays with no display shut-offs or hardware freezes.
I'm glad to have Adobe's Open GL rendering enabled with an OEM graphics GPU that runs cool and requires no imbedded cooling fan. Apples OEM nVidia GeForce 7300 GT, for the Mac Pro, is on Adobe's list of unsupported GPUs for Open GL rendering under Photoshop CS4, so why is it supported now? Is that just one of the benefits of the Photoshop CS4 11.0.2 update?

Chirs, thanks for your info but you are talking about Photoshop CS5, which does not support OpenGL drawing on the Mac nVidia 7300 or the Mac Radeon X1900. As long as I am using Photoshop CS4 and have not yet upgraded to CS5, I can continue to use the Mac nVidia 7300 and get limited OpenGL drawing support from Photoshop. And it is working fine.
Today I found out that Adobe has updated their OpenGL support information and apparemntly when I upgraded my Mac from Tiger to Leopard, and later, I gained Photoshop's Open GL support for the Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT:
Supported video cards (Mac OS)
Intel-based Macintosh, tested on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.4
17-inch iMac x1600, 128 MB
ATI HD 2600, 256 MB
MacBook Air intel GMA X3100
Nvidia Quadrofx 4500, 512 MB
Radeon x1900, 512 MB
Intel-based Macintosh, tested on Mac OS X 10.5.4 only
8800 GT, 512 MB
iMac 8800 GS, 512 MB
Nvidia 8600M, 256 MB
The following Power PC cards work in Photoshop CS4: Nvidia 7800 (256 MB), Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT, and the Nvidia Quadro FX 4500.
Note: OpenGL is enabled for the GeForce 7300GT, but Advanced Drawing and 3D Acceleration are disabled.
So, when I upgrade to Photoshop CS5, I will need to replace my video card with something compatible with Photoshop CS5s OpenGL drawing engine. Do you think the ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit, for my Mac Pro, will get Photoshop CS5 to make OpenGL drawing availible and active?
I appriciate an Adobe employee, like yourself, providing the information I need to make the right hardware choices when upgrading to Adobe CS5.

Excel Function to query BW using Web Services API

Hello,
I need to write an Excel function as an .XLA that will do the following:
It will be invoked like any other Excel function. E.g. =GetCost(param p1, param p2)
This function queries an InfoCube and must return a single numerical value for the Cell in Excel that the function is used in.
I have never done anything like this before. I have done a decent amount of reading to discover the best way to attack this. It seems like the best way to create this functionality is to:
1. create a web service in a BW function group with a function module that is RFC enabled.
2. I'm thinking the function module will use native SQL to query the InfoCube and pull the value and then somehow pass this value to a web service.
3. The value in the web service will be accessed through it's API in Excel/VBA.
I am not sure if this is best way to do this, or if it is even possible to do it this way. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I am heading down the right path and possibly direct me to a tutorial or other information that would aid in accomplishing this. I have yet to find some type of proof of concept from beginning to end on how to do something like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
These are the documents I have found insightful so far:
How to build an XLA: http://www.fontstuff.com/vba/vbatut03.htm
If you can read a table and dump it into Excel then you can query an InfoCube? https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c043d836-166c-2910-b99e-ae3633dec547
How to view a webservice homepage: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1c/472e22c45cc94599ab3725bc9558d2/content.htm
How to create a webservice:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9b/dad1ae3908ee44a5caf57e10918be9/frameset.htm
What I am missing is how to pass data from the function module to the webservice, and from the webservice to the Excel/VBA code.
Thanks!
