Use of Excel Formulas in EVDRE reports

Dear Freinds,
I am trying to use excel formulas in EVDER (report).
2011.MAR
Account(Base level member) =SUM(RANGE)
this at somepaces is working and in some places its not working. Kindly share the knowldge how to use them in excel

Hi Vishwanath,
Whenever we expandan EVDRE report or Input schedule, the formula (if any) in the first cell is applied to the to the other cells as well. Thus in expansion we will loose any formula specified in the other cells.
If you donot want this to happen, it is better to make the evdre static. This should help you use formulae as required.
Hope this helps.

Shoba

Retrieving BEx Query Results Area for use in Excel formulas

Hello,
I run BEx queries in workbooks and then use Excel formulas ( mostly VLOOKUP(LookupValue, ResultsArea, ColumnReturned,) ) to retrieve certain information from the query ResultsArea.
****Problem:
Depending on the query parameters, the query "Results Area" is larger or smaller.
****Non-optimal solution:
One way to define the ever changing Excel range occupied by the Results Area is to create an Excel name as:
QueryRange = OFFSET(QueryFirstCell,,,COUNTA(OFFSET(Sheet1!$A:$A,,COLUMN(QueryFirstCell)-1,,)),COUNTA(OFFSET(Sheet1!$1:$1,ROW(QueryFirstCell)-1,,,)))
Then, the only input required is the top-left cell of the Results Area, which stays the same (unless the query definition changes).
****Question
What is the best way to refer to an ever-changing query Results Area in an Excel formula?
Thank you!
Louis

It is actually much easier than that.
Use a VBA statement like the following:
Set RptRng = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion
This will retrieve the data in the Results Area, no matter what the size is.
Hope this helps...

How to use Excell formula's within EVDRE

Hi,
we want to built a rather large P&L with time in columns and account and cost center in the rows.
We would like to insert some subtotals within the P&L strucure using simple excel formula's.
So we create the P&L structure and leave some empty rows in between, which are filled up with excell formula's. The row key range is adapted, so it does not reference the excell formula's. If we hit refresh workbook, our P&L is ready and displaying the correct data.
Problem now is if we select 'expand all'. My entire P&L structure is changed and displayes the last section of the row key range several times (as many as we have different row key ranges) ... I've put "noexpand" on all of the dimensions on row and column ...
So normally does one use the functionality of excell formula's within a EVDRE report?
D
solved it

Hi D
One way is to switch of the expansions and insert the rows and then have the subtotals. to swith of expansion just edit the cell where you have written the evdre function and then remove the formulas pointing to expand range.
EVSUB in after range would not work here as the whole range is related to one dimension and it works if we have two dimensions and need subtotals

EVDRE Report and Formatting

Hi
I am quite new to BPC, so my apologies if this is a very basic question, I've created in BPC for Excel ( BPC Version 7, Excel 2003 ) an EVDRE report, which I would now like to format.
As my report is static, rather than use the FormatRange, I'd ideally like to turn off altogether any BPC formatting, and do my own formatting via Excel i.e. Bold certain fields, draw line Borders around areas etc.
I've tried not referring the FormatRange ( blank format range, and no formatting specified ), but still when I refresh my Excel formatting is changed or overwritten altogether.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kind Regards
Gavin

As the report is static, did you remove the expansions? Or is it configured in a way that expansion is always the same?
If expansions are enabled, and all formatting ranges are cleared, EVDRE will automatically apply the formatting defined in the top left cell for the datarange, the top cell for the rowkeyrange and descriptions for the member in the rowkeyrange, and the formatting in the leftmost cell in the colkeyrange.
If you disable the expansion by removing the expansionrange from your EVDRE formula, you can hardcode formatting for each cell independently, and only data is refreshed upon hitting the refresh button.
Maybe this will solve your issue.
Kind regards,

Excel Formulas in Workbook

Dear all,
I'm using bex analyzer 7 and I have a workbook which has many sheets.
I need to use some excel formulas on every sheet but in every refresh my calculations has been deleting.
And i also need to use some hidden columns but on every refresh they are showing.
It's not possible to do calculations or use hide property on designer.
Any tips?
Kind Regards
Nil

Hi Nil,
Glad to hear that my suggestion worked for you,
To calculate sum of two differenct row for cumulative result user the following code
Lets take row number 3 , below code will calculate the sum for row 3 till end ( stop if find empty cell) and give the total into the next to last cell,
put this code into a function module and call on change event
Dim icol As Integer    ' to calculate column number
Dim isum1 As Double ' to calculate sum of the one row
Dim ctr As Integer    ' to find the col last column
icol = 1
isum1 = 0
ctr = 1
Do While Len(Cells(3, icol)) > 0
    isum1 = isum1 + Cells(3, icol)
    ctr = ctr + 1
    icol = icol + 1
Loop
Cells(3, ctr).Value = isum1
you need to specify the Row number ( hard code) and change the value for variable icol ,
icol=1 means , it will start calculating the values from Col A ( change as per your worksheet)
using the same code you can find the sum of another row ( isum2) and
itotal = isum1+isum2
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hope this helps

BPC 7.5 NW: Inserting an excel formula the data col. in an EVDRE input sch.

Hello,
I am trying to design an input schedule for uploading trial balances from SAP. In one sheet, I have an extract of a trial balance from SAP. In another sheet, I have an EVDRE report which has an expansion in rows based upon the entities selected (so that the entities selected for data upload could match the entities in the trial balance. It is flexible for different users/regions).
The problem is that I would like to use a VLOOKUP or SUMIF formula to populate the data column in the EVDRE report (pull the data from the trial balance sheet). But as soon as the data is submitted, the formula will disappear and I will just have data.
Does anybody have any ideas as how this could be avoided.
Many thanks.

1. Login into BPC for Admin
2. Once logged into your Appset , open the Dimension library
3. Process each dimension by selecting the "Process members from membersheet" and by unchecking the "Take system offline" option
4. Process all the dimensions one by one not together.
5. Once processing the dimensions is done then open the Applications and Modify each Application by adding or changing the Application Description.
6. Once done modifying Applications then logout of the BPC Admin and BPC Excel.
7. Login back again into BPC for Excel by going through the connection wizard.
Ideally this should solve your problem and If all the dimensions are processed successfully then logoff and login to see if you stilll see the EVDRE error.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sanjeev

EVDRE Current View Change displays Excel Formula until Enter is hit

We have EVDRE reports set up where the user can enter key elements prior to running the report.
Example:
Double Click to Select Company =======> EKCO
In the cell where you see EKCO above, we have formula
=EVCVW("FinConsol","CompCode")
FinConsol is the name of our application and CompCode is one of our dimensions.
This cell is formatted as General.
When I double click on the cell (i.e. the one that says EKCO right now) and change the value to something different (i.e. it is changing the curent view)...as soon as I choose the new value from the drop down and click 'OK', the cell changes to the excel formula (=EVCVW("FinConsol","CompCode")) until I hit enter.
Once enter is hit the cell is updated with the new value and the report can be run.
Other users don't have to do this extra step. As soon as they click 'ok' from the drop down the value automaticaly changes. We are using the SAME report and it is acting differently between users. To clarifiy, I ALWAYS have to hit enter to get the change to take place and other users NEVER have to hit enter, regardless of what dimension they are changing in this manor.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It's just annoying and an extra key stroke that seems not necessary.
Thank you,
Vicki

EVDRE reporting not stable: "hiding columns" & applying datarange formula"

Hi,
we use BPC 5.1. (SP6) With several EVDRE reports we experience that our excell session sometimes stops working, typically when changing the CV and expanding again. At the bottom of the excell we see the statements:
"hiding columns" or also "applying datarange formulas".
I wait for more than 10 minutes, but nothing changes and I can't do anything anymore and have to abort excell with CTRL + ALT + DEL ...
Does anyone experience the same problems? (We work with Office 2007)
regards
Dries

Hi,
I cannot test with Office 2003 since I don't have it installed ..., I typically have it with EVDRE reports, not with schedules created from a template. Numbers of members to be expanded, maximum 10, for which 10 accounts are displayed (so max 100 lines) ... We do not have many data in our system yet, lets say 20.000 records max.

Using "calc' function to show if the cell is editable(EVDRE Reports)

Hello All,
I have a question regarding using the "calc' property in my dimension 'ACCOUNT' in a EvDRE report to display the rows as calculated or input ready cells. I have developed an input template by opening a blank workbook and typing in EVDRE(). I have listed ACCOUNT to be in the rows and Time in the columns. I have listed the memberset to be members in the ACCOUNT and SELF, DEP in the Time dimension. Whenever I expand the EVDRE, I always get the cells to be 'yellow' in color similiar to the calc format. How do I differentiate between the Calculated cell and the input cell. I was thinking to use the CALC functionality similiar to the reports/input schedules written using EVGTS/EVSND functions.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi bpc4livin,
Take note that even though you have specified the base members as memberset in your EVDRE, still you must have base level members in your Current View in the Action pane. Remember that each data cells in an EVDRE template is an intersection of the dimension in your rows and columns plus the rest of the dimensions in your application which would come in your current view if you don't define them as memberset. So as long as there is one calculated member in your current view still the cell would be marked as calculated.
You can use EVDRE's format range to format a scpecific cell or group of cells. To activate this after you typed the EVDRE and refresh the sheet, you must check the allow formatting option in the EVDRE builder that appears. I think that there is already a default format in the format range that says that if a data cell is calculated it would be colored yellow. So if you want further knowldege on how to use the format range, you could see the Using Reports Help in the See Also section of the action pane of the BPC Excel.
Hope this helps,
MVS

How can I modify column width in a spreadsheet report without using an Excel template

I currently use the LabVIEW Report Generation toolkit in LabVIEW 2011SP1 to create simple spreadsheet reports that I can build/print without having Microsoft Office products installed. I really like being able to do this, and it allows me to generate nice on-demand data reports - I'm also not tied to having Office installed on the system I'm using, so this works on just about any test fixture I can install the software on.
I recently have a requirement that I must have variable-length columns in my report. I currently use the VI "Append Text Table to Report" in order to create a text table, but the column width requirement is that all columns must be equal width UNLESS I use an Excel Template file to define my column widths.
My questions are:
Is it possible to create a text table and define per-column widths without using an Excel Template? If so, how? My report mainly has a lot of small numerical values for the columns, but some columns contain system names or status messages - I really hate the longer text blocks wrapping and taking up so much real-estate when if I could control the column widths I can get all my data on a single line.
I'll admit I haven't tried this myself yet, but if I use an Excel Template will that require me to have Excel installed on the PC in order to print/generate reports?
Is there a recommended way (with an example) of generating a text table in a report with or without using the "Append Text Table to Report" VI that allows me to have custom column widths that doesn't require me to manually build a custom print page? If I do have to create a custom print page, what would be the most straightforward approach?
Thanks!
-Danny

Sure, I'll provide a pared down example that demonstrates my use-case:
I have a control to the VI that takes in a 2D array of strings representing the data I want printed in a table. I am generating a standard report, adding a table to the report, and printing it. The first VI is "New Report.vi", the second VI is "Append Table to Report.vi", and the third is "Print Report.vi", all found standard in the Report Generation palette.
Note that the "Append Table to Report.vi" has an input parameter "Column Width" with a default value of (1). This input parameter is a single input parameter, which defines the column widths of ALL the columns in my table - hence, with the VI the way it is, all my columns will be 1 inch wide.
I find myself needing to be able to define per-column widths, not just a single global column width parameter.
The only way I have found to do this is by using an Excel template file. The "New Report.vi" takes in a "template" parameter, and if used, the report generation toolkit can be set to ignore the "Column Width" input parameter on the "Append Table to Report.vi" by setting the width value to -1. Instead it will launch Excel, open the template file provided, build the table using the template, will close Excel, and will attach the generated table to the report. However, I have a strict requirement that Microsoft Office NOT be required to be installed on the computer.
So, without using Excel, is there a way to generate a table in a report and define the width of each column individually?

How to use Microsoft Excel dll in SQL Server Reporting Services

Hi,
Can you please explain me the steps to use excel .dll in ssrs

Hi PrakashThandra,
Based on my understanding, you have created a chart in Excel, then you want to use this chart in Reporting Services, right?
In Reporting Services, it’s not supported to use a chart which created in Excel directly. But we can use Excel as datasource to create a report, please refer to this article:
Create SSRS report using Excel Data Source Step by Step. In your scenario, since you want to use the Excel chart in Reporting Services, you could create a same report in Reporting Services refer to this article:
Charts (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

EvDRE - SortRange - AfterRange - Copy Excel formula

Hi all,
In BPC NW 7.5 SP04 I have performed the following actions:
I have sorted the EvDRE based on some column and added an AfterRange parameter.
In the AfterRange cells I have entered various Excel formulas as well as evsub.
The system would copy the Excel formulas to the line with the EV_AFTER and the copy was like standard Excel.
e.g. - In the AfterRange I would specify cell B2. in B2 I would write the formula A1B1.
When the EvDRE would run, assume that the after range had to be in cell E16, The value of E16 would be the result of the formula D15+E15.
This year we have upgraded to SP06. This functionality stopped working. I tackle 2 situations:
1. If the cell is defined in general format - the system simply copies the result of the formula. In the example above if A1+B1 is 0, I would simply get 0 all over (copy the value and not the formula).
2. If the cell is defined as TEXT in Excel, the original formula is copied (i.e. in the example above all cells would have the formula A1+B1).
evsub works as it should.
Any idea why did this happen? is there a note? does the system now works as it should and I simply enjoyed a bug in SP04?
Thanks,
Avihay

Hi Ethan,
I have Accounts in Rows and Time in columns. Range E24:E26 is in AfterRange filed on column expansion. 'E24:E26' range adds prior 2 time columns. I want to display this summation on a particular condition, say only if cell D11 = 1. So I wrote a formula in AfterRange field in Column expansion: =IF(D11=1,"E24:E26","") .
This formula in AfterRage field doesn't work. But if I manually type value 'E24:E26' in that field, it correctly adds up prious 2 time periods. I think the issue is with formatting.
Thanks, John

Use subreport total in formula in main report

Hi,
I have a subreport which is a total figure. I just want to muliply this by a number in a field on the main report, can this be done?
Any help appreciated!

Symptom
A report contains a subreport. Data from the subreport is required for calculations in the main report.
How can you share subreport data with the main report in version 7 (or higher) of the Crystal Reports Designer?
Resolution
Shared variables, introduced in Crystal Reports version 7, make it easier to pass values from a subreport to the main report. Using shared variables requires two formulas: one to store the value in a shared variable, the other to retrieve the value from the shared variable.
The most important thing to remember when using shared variables is that Crystal Reports must first evaluate the formula where the value is stored before evaluating the formula that retrieves the shared variable.
For example if you want to pass a grand total from the subreport to do a calculation in the main report, follow these steps:
1. In the subreport, create a formula similar to the one below:
//@SubFormula
//Stores the grand total of the
//{Orders.Order Amount} field
//in a currency variable called 'myTotal'
WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared CurrencyVar myTotal := Sum ({Orders.Order Amount})
2. Place this formula in your subreport.
3. In the main report, create a formula that declares the same variable name:
//@MainFormula
//Returns the value that was stored
//in the shared currency variable called
//myTotal in the subreport
WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared CurrencyVar myTotal;
myTotal
4. Place @MainFormula in a main report section that is beneath the section containing the subreport.
NOTE:======
For the shared variable to return the correct value in the main report, you must place @MainFormula in a main report section that is beneath the section containing the subreport. This ensures Crystal Reports evaluates the @SubFormula before @MainFormula.
One way to do this is to insert a section below the section containing the subreport, and place @MainFormula in this new sub-section:
· On the 'Format' menu, click 'Section'.
· On the 'Sections' list, click the section containing the subreport.
· Click 'Insert' (at top of dialog box). This inserts an additional subsection.
· Click 'OK' to return to the report, and insert @MainFormula into this new sub-section.
The next time you preview the report, @MainFormula displays the value from the subreport. In this particular example, that value was the grand total of the {Orders.Order Amount} field.
============
5. Once you have verified that @MainFormula is returning the correct value from the subreport, you can include this formula in other main report formulas, such as:
//@NewFormula
//includes data from subreport
{@MainFormula}+ Sum ({Customer.Last Year's Sales})
· Place this formula in the same section as @MainFormula, or in a section further down on the report.
You have now successfully shared data from a subreport with the main report.
NOTE: =====
This is not possible with On Demand Subreports in Crystal Reports.

Exporting CRM 2011 SSRS 2008 report to excel uses old Excel 1997-2003 version

The Notes field is appearing cut off on the exported excel spreadsheet. I am wondering if it is related to the version of excel when exporting from CRM report. The only option is MS Excel 1997-2003, when in fact we have MS Office 2010 installed. How can
I get the report export to excel to use the 2010 version? Will this clear up the issue of the excel cell from being too small to dispay the entire field? Any help would be appreciated, Thank you, Mark A M

Hi Mark A M,
In SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services, the Excel rendering extension renders a report that is compatible with Microsoft Excel 1997-2003. This is the unique renderer for Excel renderer in SSRS 2008. Since SSRS 2012, the default Excel renderer is the version
compatible with Microsoft Excel 2007-2010. So we cannot export the report to excel use Microsoft Excel 2007-2010 version in SSRS 2008. This is by design.
As to your issue, please note that the width of the column in Excel which inherit the width in the report. So we need make sure the cell width is sufficient to display the Notes field in report.
Reference:
Exporting to Microsoft Excel (Report Builder 2.0)
Hope this helps.

Problem in using Nested IF-ELSE in Crystal Report formula

Hi Experts ,
I am having some problem using Nested IF-ELSE in Crystal Report formula ,
there is no error in the formula but only one condition is working. other condition is not working
i am using this concept in formula workshop :-
' if{EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Basic Excise Duty BED@10 %}<>0 and{EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Education Cess @2%}<>0 and {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Secondary Education Cess @1%}<>0 and {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Central Sales Tax(CST)@2%}<>0
then
Sum ({EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Amount}) + {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.BedAmount@10%} + {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.EcessAmount@2%} + {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.SecCessAmount@1%} + {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.CSTAmount@2%}
else
if {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Basic Excise Duty BED@10 %}<>0 and {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Education Cess @2%}<>0 and {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Secondary Education Cess @1%}<>0 and {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Input VAT@5%}<>0 and {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Addtional Tax@1%}<>0
then
Sum ({EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Amount}) + {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.BedAmount@10%} + {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.EcessAmount@2%}+{EXCISE_INVOICE;1.SecCessAmount@1% } + {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.VATAmount@5%} +{EXCISE_INVOICE;1.AddTaxAmount@1%(for VAT@4)}
I want that all conditions should work and the condition which is applicable there according to formula it display the result, if i add another condition then it should also work.
kindly tell me the solution of this problem
Regards
Rahul

Try this logic:
if{EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Basic Excise Duty BED@10 %}!=0 and{EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Education Cess @2%} !=0 and {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Secondary Education Cess @1%} !=0
then
Sum ({EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Amount}) + {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.BedAmount@10%} + {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.EcessAmount@2%} + {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.SecCessAmount@1%}
else
0
+
IF {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Central Sales Tax(CST)@2%} !=0
then
{EXCISE_INVOICE;1.CSTAmount@2%}
else
IF {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Central Sales Tax(CST)@5%} !=0
then
{EXCISE_INVOICE;1.CSTAmount@5%}
+
if {EXCISE_INVOICE;1.Addtional Tax@1%} !=0
then
EXCISE_INVOICE;1.AddTaxAmount@1%(for VAT@4)}
else
0
If not work, try SQL command.
Thanks,
Gordon
