Re: Spread % Change add

EvgenyT: Yes, it should come out to -1020 but if you try it (% Change add 2%) you'll see that it comes out as -980. 2% of -1000 is -20. But it doesn't add it to the original (which would/shoud be -1000 + -20 = -1020), it adds the absolute value (so -1000 + abs(-20) = -980 ) DuncanP: Yes I was using ...

Spread % Change add

I think this is a bug. But after searching around a bit, I don't see anybody else complaining about it, so maybe it is by design. But why anybody would want it that way ... My user wanted to increase a future budget by 2% over a range of accounts, cost centres and periods. I had them do a spread, us...

Re: Copy one cell via vb

Well how cool is that! I've never used the DBSS function before. I must have seen it since I've read the reference guide cover to cover umpteen times, but I never realized that that is what it was used for. So I've tried it, it works. Per my example in column E I put: =DBSS( D7, $B$1,$A7 , "Pro...

Copy one cell via vb

Sorry, I haven't done a search of the forum. I wouldn't even know how to compose a search argument. I made a quick slice report that has two adjacent columns. Column C = DBRW($B$1,$A7,"Process Description") Column D = DBRA("ExpenseProd:}Processes",A7,"Description") (Bas...

Word wrap - force new line

I have in an application form a large cell. ie. I have merged 7 columns and 4 lines into a single cell. That single cell has a DBRW in it that points to a string cell in a cube. Voila! It works. (I understand there was a word wrap bug, which I had seen before, that has now been fixed in 9.5.2 FP1). ...

Re: Insert blank lines as separators?

lotsaram ... that's brilliant.

So the row height follows the largest font in the line.
I don't even need the attribute lookup in most cases (but that's a good idea too).
Just a conditional format on a hidden column that sets the font size based on level.

I'm going to start using that.

I have often wanted this. (Well, actually, my management wants this. Formatting to senior management seems to be as important as the numbers themselves, but, I digress.)

I'm being driven to distraction by the difference between the Browser and Excel. In Perspectives Excel, I make an Active Form. It is a thing of beauty. I have the column widths set such that there is plenty of room for the numbers. It looks great in Excel. But when I view it in the browser, large nu...

Re: Issues with EnableBulkLoadMode (9.4.1 FP3)

Well, I wish I had read this thread before I tried using it. EnableBulkLoad is equivalent to having a remote car starter that allows you to start the car while outside the vehicle. It then locks all the doors, and the remote has no stop or unlock button. I just started a process after adding EnableB...
