Reporting Studio - Cell reference from saved grid object

Hi!
Is it possible to use cell references in one grid ("GridA") that reference data in another grid ("GridB") on the same report, where the second grid is a linked grid object? I have inserted a formula row in GridA and am using the equation GridB.[1,A] and the report is returning #ERROR.
I have tested the following cases:
- Creating a new grid ("GridC") that is not a linked grid, and referencing a cell from there with the GridC.[1,A] formula - Returned value successfully
- Creating a text row on GridA and using GetCell to pull the data - Returned value successfully
- Deleting and re-inserting the GridB linked grid object - Did not return value
I am using HFR Studio version 11.1.2.362 reporting off of HFM 11.1.2.2.300. I believe that it was possible to do this this type of cell referencing in past versions of HFR/HFM.
Thank you for your help! Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide.

Hi,
then I would implement sth like the following:
dim myBO as businessobject
dim i as integer, sValue as string
for i = aMyAnchor.bcol.count to 1 step -1
sValue = aMyAnchor.bcol.GetAttribute(i, "myProperty")
if sValue = "" then
aMyAnchor.bcol.item(i).delete
end if
next
Please note that the deletion needs to be done bottom-up because of a refresh of the
indexing after deleting of objects in the collection.
The refresh of the grid is done automatically because of the data binding.

Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio: question re expansion across grids

Hello all,
I have built a report in Financial Reporting Studio that consists of 3 grids: 1 for working version, 1 for reconciliation version x and 1 grid for the variance between the two.
My row dimension is entity, which has been set to "allow expansions".
I have been asked to set it up so that if the user expands a row in the first grid, the same row is automatically expanded in the second and third grid, showing the user the same members across grids (and therefore across versions).
Is this possible and if so, how do I set this up?
Thanks for your help,
Eva

Yes it is possible to have same row selected in grid 1 displayed in multiple grids.
Below steps will also retrive same data, add a formula row (or column also) say in Grid 2 having formula :-
Grid1.row[1] ,where you want to dispaly same data of Grid 1, row 1 across Grid 2 in some particular row say row 1.
Then modify the heading for row 1 (in Grid 2) by adding text functions to retrieve the member names of grid 1.
Select the heading for row 1, on the Heading Row Properties sheet, select Custom Heading. In box, enter the MemberName function to retrieve the member name from row 1 of Grid1.
The function syntax is
*<<MemberName("Grid1", 1, "DimensionName")>>*
If you want only member name then adding text function to desired location heading properties will work.

Can't access Excel._Worksheet reference from NI_Excel.lvcass object

I am trying to access the "Excel._Worksheet" reference but when I use the "unbundle by name" I get a broken wire. The green object is the NI_report.lvclass and the blue object is the NI_Excel.lvclass.
Not sure why I'm being prevented from getting the reference this way since I see this working as shown in NI_Excel.lvclass:Excel Rename Worksheet.
(I'm trying get the Worksheet reference so I can call the _Worksheet.Delete method. I don't believe the Report Generation toolkit includes a Worksheet Delete VI.)
(I'm using LabVIEW 8.6)

Solved!
Go to Solution.

That's the incapsulation feature provided by LabVIEW classes, it protects the private content of the class. You can only unbundle in VIs that are parts of the class.
There is a VI that returns the application and document ref:

GetPivotData with cell reference in a Table

I was told that this might be a better place to post this question than Microsoft Answers for Office.
I have a Table in which I need to use a GetPivotData function. I need to use a cell reference in that GetPivotData function. I have done this before with no problem in a normal cell range, but it seems like the syntax when using a Table screws
things up. Can anyone help me out here?
The GetPivotTable function would normally look like this if not in a Table.
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Total Blocked Dollars]",'Sheet2'!$A$4,"[Dim Prod Ctrl No].[By Prod Ctrl No]","[Dim Prod Ctrl No].[By Prod Ctrl No].&[18418]")
That formula sits in a column called "Block" in my Table. The 18418 sits in a column called "ID" in my table. So what I have tried is:
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Total Blocked Dollars]",'--Report Blocks--'!$A$4,"[Dim Prod Ctrl No].[By Prod Ctrl No]",concatenate("[Dim Prod Ctrl No].[By Prod Ctrl No].&[",[@[ID]],"]"))
I have tried a few combinations like this but I can't seem to use a cell reference from a table (which requires the [@[field]] syntax) to work with the GetPivotData.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

That's not the issue. The GETPIVOTDATA function is actually IN a table. The arguments for the GETPIVOTDATA function need to reference a cell/column in the table, and it's only PART of the argument that needs to be replaced. In the example
below the 18418 needs to be replaced with the data in the same row of the table in a column named ID.
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Total Blocked Dollars]",'Sheet2'!$A$4,"[Dim Prod Ctrl No].[By Prod Ctrl No]","[Dim Prod Ctrl No].[By Prod Ctrl No].&[18418]")
Does that clarify any?
Thanks for the response!

How do I make the column portion of a relative cell reference change based on a separate cell

I have a relative cell reference K8 in a formula (k8/c8) and I want to obtain the column portion (K) of this relative cell reference from another cell at the top of the column this formula is in. This will make it very easy for me to change many formulas
all at once simply by changing the contents of the header cell to reflect the column that I want to reference in the original formula. For instance the other cell may contain the letter M which would then change all of the formulas to m8/c8.
I know I can change on cell and copy the formula to the other cells but then I have to do a copy and format paste to get all of my unique formatting back. The original formula frequently change with respect to the columns being measured.
Thank you...even if I can't get there from here.

Let's say that cell A1 contains the letter K, and that your formula is in a cell in row 8. You can change the formula to
=INDIRECT($A$1 & ROW()) / INDIRECT("C" & ROW())
This formula can be filled down (or up).

Hyperion Financial Reporting: Retrieve Multi-rows Data From Another Grid

Hi Geniuses,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask questions about HFR...
I have two grids: main and supporting. I was trying to retrieve data from supporting grid, where there are 10 children rows in report derived from one row in HFR. I intended to show all the 10 children rows in the report. I tried "Grid[X].row[X]" to retrieve the data and <<MemberName>> to retrieve the project name, but only one row showed up in the main report with the first line project name (supporting grid) and data of sum of the total 10 rows (supporting grid).
Any good ideas?
Thanks a bunch.

Thank you, Celvin. It worked.
One further question: the cell that contains data and contains text strings only pulls up the "pointer". Is there anyway to translate the pointer to the correct date/text?
I really appreciate your help.I really didn't get you mean by translating pointer?
Are you trying to show date and text from a planning cube?

Cell Document in Reporting Studio

i saw from the user manaul that there is Cell Document in Hyperion Reporting Studio, can anyone give me some example of how it works. my assumption is that if you want to attach your comments/graphs to the end of the report, you can attach their harddrive path through Cell Document when you create a report,then when the report is run, it's content and comments/graphs will come as one in PDF view. However in the manual there is little information about Cell Document, so i need your help on this.
thank you
------ Wei Jin

Hi ,
Yes its required for some situations.
But you must have two structures in column and row then only u can use this option.
You have to use this some scenarios for example you are displaying time periods like Q1, Q2, Q3 & Q4 and Total in rows and amount values , percentage in column.
In this situation in order to show the total u can sum Q1Q2Q3+Q4 values but percentage u cannot some, so u have to use cell defination where u can calculate percentage using restricted key fig you can select and show this by using cell defination.
Assign points pls.........

Financial Reporting Studio - Grid POV

I have a report running from HFM (9.3.1.3.0.2176) using Financial Reporting Studio (9 9.3.1.0.0.0325) where I have restricted the Grid POV to 'Select members from a list' on Accounts.
When I run the report as an HTML from within Reporting Studio or workspace, a box appears entitled 'Preview user POV' with 'This report/book will run for the members on the user point of view listed below' with a selection box that when clicked only shows the accounts I defined in the list.
However, when the report is run from Workspace (9.1.1.0.0.248) by any other user then the accounts are not restricted.
Can I make the accounts restricted to the list for ONLY this report for all users without impacting any other reports and if so, please can you explain how?
Thanks in advance
PS I also restricted User POV in the vain hope that it would make a difference but no :-(

Select the grid. You will grid POV checked in right side properties window. Uncheck that.

How do I get an activeX object reference from a LabVIEW ActiveXContainer ref?

How do I get an activeX object reference from a LabVIEW ActiveXContainer ref?
I'm trying to control an ActiveX object (a Web Browser) from another VI and need to get the object reference programmatically. I can get the LabVIEW ActiveXContainer reference, but am lost on how to get the reference for the object _inside_ the container.

Hi Lee,
The reference to the container is actually also accessing the object inside the container. Use the Property Node and Invoke Node to access properties and launch methods for the object. I've attached a small example that passes the reference to a SubVI and invokes a method inside the SubVI.

Error: The report source could not be retrieved from the state object.

I have been trying to create a report in a JSF page. The relevant parts are below:
Inside the JSP page, this is the code:
              <jsp:useBean id="MyBean" class="com.nm.facade.rto.POJOViewerBean" scope="session" />
                <jsp:setProperty name="MyBean" property="reportLocation" value="Report1.rpt" />

               ></v:reportPageViewer>
In the backing bean, this is the relevant code:
    public Object getReportSource() throws ReportSDKException
        if (propertiesChanged || reportSource == null)
            propertiesChanged = false;
            if (reportLocation == null)
                throw new RuntimeException("The reportLocation property must be set before a report source is retrieved");

            rcd.open(reportLocation, 0);
            DatabaseController dbc = rcd.getDatabaseController();
            //Create the POJO collection and populate it with data
            ReportData[] data =

            POJOResultSet results = factory.createResultSet(data);
            ResultSetMetaData metaData = results.getMetaData();
            //Set the resultset as the report datasource

            if (reportSource == null)
                throw new RuntimeException("Unable to get a report source.");
        return reportSource;
In the CRConfig.xml, this is what is there:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CrystalReportEngine-configuration>
    <reportlocation>../reports</reportlocation>
    <timeout>0</timeout>
    <ExternalFunctionLibraryClassNames>
         <classname></classname>
    </ExternalFunctionLibraryClassNames>
</CrystalReportEngine-configuration>
The report template 'Report1.rpt' is packaged under WEB-INF/reports in the war file.
When I try to generate the report by accessing the JSF page, I am getting an error: "The report source could not be retrieved from the state object. "
I am not sure what is wrong. Can someone help me in resolving this issue?

Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy

I Created a power view in Excel 2013 and uploaded to my Power BI for o365 site.
But when i click on my excel file it opens in browser,After that i click on File tab its showing me two option
1. Save a Copy
2.Download a copy
When i click on save a copy its showing me an warning below
Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy.
Continue with Save?
If i continue saving it only saves an excel files with data only not the power view which i want to save with applied filters.
Please help me for this

Just to clarify, when you hit the option of Save As Copy, the whole experience goes into a "read-write" mode in Excel services, which currently doesn't support authoring, just consumption of PowerView sheets.
Two mitigations that come to mind:
1. Download the copy (as Brad suggests), rename the file and upload.
2. Use the send to option of SharePoint online, give the file the right target document library (can be the same as source) and rename the file:

Cell References Changed when saving? (SFTGlobalID_)

I'm using IF( formulas to create an inventory control database. On a list of raw food materials, a "unit count" cell references a production schedule (PS) for 20 or so different recipes made on seperate sheets. The production schedule for each item is a 1, 2, 3 , or 4 (for batch size). The TRUE part of the formula references a value for each ingredient on each recipe and the FALSE returns nothing. Here's an example:
IF(PS :: B2=1,Recipe :: B4,)+IF(PS :: B2=2,Recipe :: B4*2,)+IF(PS :: B2=3,Recipe :: B4*3,)+IF(PS :: B2=4,Recipe :: B4*4,).....etc. for each ingredient on the recipe. (False only needs to return a zero value, as a summation of each value is built in)
I'm sure this isn't the most efficient way to do this but but it works great. However, I made it about 70% of the way through and one of my longer formulas changed all it's cell references to "SFTGlobalID_6C93D7876E0345C39D25C499A3FD1D04" after saving. I have no idea if the formula still works because now I'm over the max charcter limit for a cell.
I tried re-entering the formula with no luck and all of the other formulas work perfectly.
I believe I can work around this by splitting the workload to 2 or more cells, so it isn't necessarily detrimental to the success of the program.
I'm mainly curious as to WHY this happened. I was no where near the character limit before saving.
I've checked other discussions and answers seem to only offer shorter solutions to formulas, and not a reason for the change to begin with.
Does anyone have any idea what the cause of this could be? Any input would be greatly appreciated!
NOTE: I'm not at all opposed to a different approach but my curiosity is getting the best of me here.
Thanks in advance!!

Jerry,
Thanks again. I noticed that Choose seemed sort of limited when looking into it, though still useful.
Right now I'm looking for a way to calculate batch size already given the amount of a prep item I need.
For example:
We use a red sauce in our meals. The inventory will tell me how many quarts I need for the week, and I need it to calculate how many batches are needed and send the amount of ingredients needed for that sauce back to the inventory. One batch is 6.5 qts.
If I need 28 qts of Red Sauce for the week, I need the program to put a 5 in the batch size cell (32.5 qt. yield - we don't make partial batches of anything, so I can't simply use division ). Then I'll just multiply the batch size cell times each ingredient used for a single batch to get the total. Any ideas?
I was thinking more IF( functions with inequalities but I'm guessing there is a better way.

How to get caller object reference from a method

Hi,
I am working a already existing Java Swing project, now I got a problem, in a method I need to get the caller object reference otherwise, I can't succeed this operation. So please tell me a way how to get the caller object reference from a method. that method would be static or regular method anything will do for me.

Actually we have a huge project which is writen plain JAVA, so in this project the authors written the Database connection package for single database transaction. so now we are using this project source code for JSF application in this web application the DB package has serve based on the dynamic db connection parameters, so if we want to change this package fully means need to solve the dependency problem in hundreds of classes, so my point is if I can access the caller object in the DB package when ever it gets called by any class from any where of the project. So actually I liked Reflection.getcallerclass, the way of implementation perfectly works for me but it is not giving caller object reference, if something gives the caller object then I can get the DB connection parameters then there is no need to pass the parameters in the hierarchy.You can add a parameter (of type Object) to your addition() method
and everywhere you call the addition() method also pass this (which from the POW of the addition() method will be a reference to the calling class instance).
There may be alternative solutions
but none that require less effort.

VBA to pull from Financial Reporting Studio/Reporting and Analysis Framework

Hi all,
I just started using Financial Reporting Studio, and I did a lot of research online to try to answer the questions I have below but to no avail, so I'm hoping I can get answers from the experts here.
1. I was wondering if it's possible to use SmartView VBA to pull a report from the "Reporting and Analysis Framework" onto Excel? If yes, how?
2. When I tried to pull lots of data from "Reporting and Analysis Framework" onto Excel using SmartView, it keeps getting the error message "New report failed to insert properly". Is there a way around this? Essentially, what I'm trying to do is pull the Expense data (Actuals, Budget, Forecast) from year 2011 to 2015 (by month) for every department (with each department being on its own worksheet using the split feature). If I reduce the number of departments or columns, it'll work, but when I try to keep everything, it fails.
Thanks for your guys' help!

Hi there,
There is VBA manual for smartiview application however I am not sure that you will be able to automate the retrieve of a report.
Check chapter 19 of http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/sv_user.pdf
