Useing Excel Function NORMSINV() in BEx

Hi All,
I am having a requirement where i have to generate a Query like below.
Plant | Service Lvl | Cost | Time | Deviation
Z (Service Lvl) = Should be calculated based on FUNCTION NORMSINV(Service LVL), the service level percentage they enter in selection screen.
then use this in formula to calculate other column value i.e COST
COST = ZSQRT(Time)Deviation.
Please help me how to, solve this in BEx reporting.
Waiting for your reply.

This function is available only in MS excel and it is possible for you to make use of this in BEx Analyzer.
You can implementthis kind of functionality/requirement only in customer exit. that is SAPBExonRefresh function.
But you cant use this feature as Calculated key figure.
What can be done:-
In column M, assume you are displaying some results...
now in column O, you define some formulaes(depends on row M)These formulaes are defined in SAPBExonRefresh subroutine.

Vinay

Using Excel function in workflow?

Hi all,
Does anybody know if it is possible to use Excel functions in workflows? Indeed, I need to set the style of a metadata according to the value of another metadata.
Thanks in advance.
fx

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to set the style of a metadata according to the value of another metadata like Excel function.
I don’t think workflow can do it.
We can use the workflow to set the data, but there is no action to set the style.
What did you mean set the style of a metadata? Did you mean the format?
If so, you can use the conditional formatting.
With conditional formatting, you can easily create a Data View that applies a style to a selected HTML tag or data value when the data meets criteria that you specify.
You can also set conditions that change the visibility of an HTML tag or data value, so you can show or hide data altogether.
You can apply the conditional formatting using SharePoint Designer, there is an article for your reference.

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..

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:

There are some different between Excel and DAX functions, here are the list for your reference:

Using Excel Functions, such as VLOOKUP to compare two columns of text for similarities

My problem seems simple but I am struggling to figure it out. I have two columns of text. I am trying to see if the text in column B appears in column A. However, it is not always an exact match, and I basically want to check if column A contains the text
that appears in column B. What is the best way to do this?

In C2, use a formula like
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH(B2,$A$1:$A$1000)))*1)>0,"Found","Not Found")
then copy down to match column B.
This formula will return "Found" when the entire contents a cell in B is found somewhere in any cell in A1:A1000. E.G., "red" in B2 is found in cell A100 which contains "I have a red dog"

Smartview 9.3 version performing excel functions like addition

Hello All,
Is it possible for me to add up more than one account in a single cell within smartview for hyperion and if so how do i go about it. For example, I want to add up two inventory accounts (Member selection-Account) and show the total in one cell for a particular entity (member selection-Tier) for a given market (member selection-Custom 1). I cant come up with the solution. I dont know if it is something that the query designer or function member can do. I am a regular user and dont have admin rights. thanks, Aby

You would need to use Excel functionality for this. You can use cell functions with Excel formulas to just bring both member on the grid and then use excel formulas.

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:

How to define Excel function using BEx formula

Hi experts,
May I know how to define the following Excel function using BEx formula?
IF(AND(Revenue<0,Cost<0),"N/A",(Profit/Lost/ABS(Revenue)))
Thanks!

for me its easy to implament logic with * and + rather than AND and OR respectively
((Revenue<0)(Cost<0))Value +((Revenue>0)(Cost>0)) ( Profit&Lost / ABS(Revenue))
As i have mentoned already,for Else case i have considered (Revenue>0) and (Cost>0) only.
Value can be a KeyFigure/Formula/formula variable/CKF/RKF
its not possible to type characters in the formula window so 'N/A'

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

Write to excel using Range function - Excel_write_range.vi

I am using the write using range Excel function to dump some data into Excel.
My data is an array consisting of decimal numbers (data type double) but I have to use "Number To Fractional String" before I can dump this array into Excel. And then when I open the output excel file, you have all these warnings for each cell saying, "number displayed as string". Is there a way to instead dump numbers (in format double) into the Excel. That way each cell in the excel output file will already be formatted as a number instead of string.
Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming you're actually using ActiveX to write out Excel files. I say this because a lot of people say "Excel files" when they're really talking about spreadsheet-formatted files, generated using the Write to Spreadsheet File VI. That said, the "Value" ("Value 2" in newer versions of Excel) is a variant, so you can wire any datatype to it. Just wire the numeric value directly.

Using Concat function - in Excel Source

Hi,
I am using an Excel file as a source and oracle table as a target.
In the Excel file i need to concatenate two columns and map it to the target oracle column based on a condition.
I used the concat function in Expression Editor, but its throwing an error 'Undefined expression' as our source is not a oracle.
What should i do to execute the excel function in ODI?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Probably, you have mistake in Excell syntax, try to concutenate columns by Oracle (set 'target' radiobutton in mapping and use '||') and we will see...

Can I use excel type functions embedded into an online pdf form, ie Qty x Price= total $

Can I use excel type functions embedded into an online pdf form, ie Qty x Price= total $

Let me tell you what I am sure about and what I am not sure about:
I am sure that I want to be able to sell my products online. The industrial market that I sell to usually do not allow the maintenance people that find me on the web, do not have the ability to use credit cards in a typical shopping cart format due to the higher prices that the equipment I sell costs and that most people call me up to 'request a formal quotation' to give to their purchasing depart. So, my bright idea is to create numerous pdf files with very specific url's to match the very specific items that I sell. (1) item per pdf. I am thinking that the advantage to skipping the shopping cart approach and allowing the customer to fill in the qty of items, which would be mulitpled by the price of the item (a constant #) and then hitting a apply button, that would calculate subtotal price. Discounts for the qty the customer inputs (qty of items inputted by customer would be discounted on a percentage x base price) and a refresh the screen. It would allow for SEO advantages from what I have seen in the past in my very vertical market. All forms would be setup using the same functionality, just images, alt text, urls, and readable text would change.
What I don't know- which is alot, then how to calculate shipping costs. I have a weight per item, which can be added up. I saw an Adobe blog that allows UPS shipping cost to be programmed in. I don't know how dreamweaver works, which was what the blog mentioned would allow for this updated, instantanious interface with UPS and calculating real shipping costs to a specific zip code. Shipping cost would be fluff to this page. The main thing would be to do allow the customer to be able to fill in a qty of the specific item on the page, calculate a discount if / then type thing, be able to have customer email to purchasing dept or print. I would date stamp it with verbage that pricing is valid for XX days and if I could get a copy emailed to me that would be icing on the cake. I believe that this non static pdf would be something different then the current competion and that it would allow for 100's of quotes to be generated without customers having to wait 15 minutes to an hour for me to process the exact document that they are looking for.

Error using percentile excel function in Xcelsius 2008 5.3.0

Hi everybody.
I'm doing an Xcelsius Dashboard and I need to show a percentile value in a line graphic component.
Even I've read that "percentile" Excel function is supported by Xcelsius (Xcelsius 2008 SP3 User Guide), I get an error when trying to preview SWF.
This is the error:
"Incompatible Excel Function".
Anybody knows what's happening?
My Xcelsius version is:
Xcelsius Enterprise 5.3.0.0
Compilation 12,3,0,670
(Spanish)
Thanks in advance.

I had a similar experience with formula Weeknum. I had the Dutch Excel version installed and used the Dutch version of the formula, it did not work same message. Then I tried the formula in English, of course Excel could not execute it, BUT Xcelsius did work fine.
So I guess you have the Spanish Excel installed also, try both languages.

To format an Excel worksheet invoked by oracle form using DDE functions

I'm exporting data from oracle form6 into excel sheet using DDE functions.
Is there any DDE functions to format the excel sheet.

Maybe you can use format commands through DDE (if the DDE server suports them) but I personally don't know.
My approach is to record an excel macro which formats your sheet and then invoke the macro through DDE. You can fill cells with control numbers (like number of rows, number of cells) so you can make your macro even smarter by reading these numbers.
