FROM PriceLists;
I have to say this solution is the easiest workaround so far. thanks Alan!!!

Re: Numeric or String??

thanks all. If the Code value is NOT between 48 and 57 (the values for the characters 0 through to 9), 45 (a minus sign), 46 (a decimal point) or (possibly) 44 (a comma), then set the flag to 'F' and increment the counter to the Long value +1 to exit the loop. (This ensures that you loop through the...

Numeric or String??

hi all,

is there a way to identify if a variable is a numeric or a string in a TI process?

I will be using it in a if statement, if the variable is a numeric value then do ABC, if the variable is a string value then do DEF.

Cheers,
Byron

Re: Users not getting the same data.

have a try to use "NUMBR" in your TI process to get rid of the leading Zero. NUMBR converts a string to a number. The string passed to the NUMBR function must use . (period) as the decimal separator and , (comma) as the thousand separator. Any other decimal/thousand separators will cause i...

Re: Perspectives for MS Excel Crashing

Hi guys,

I tried Cognos proposed solution and it didn't work.
All I need to do is to resize the subset editor once and click "cancel", the problem goes away.

thanks a lot Steve Vincent, you are the legend. How did you figure that out?

Cheers,
Byron

It is happening on all subset editors in TM1 Server explorer. I've also discovered one thing, if I select multiple elements and click "OK', Excel doesn't crash. But if I select one of elements and click "OK", it crashes the whole Excel. It seems the issue is not happening on the TM1 s...

Re: Perspectives for MS Excel Crashing

Hi Alan,

the TM1 folder you mentioned was found on our file server under the user profile. Anyway, I deleted and regenerated the file, but it seems the Excel crashing problem's re-appearing. :cry:
