adding button to pax sheet and publish in paw

Post by manu0521 »

Hi ,
I have an excel uploaded where user can enter some information about lease and I have a button which runs a ti , which in turn stores the results.

For now there are few validations done in excel using excel functions ,but i dont have an option to enable or disable a button based on the user entry .

So I am sending all the values to the TI and checking there and I do a process quit if there is some issues with parameters ,but I dont have an ability to send back the custom error message and tell what was the mistake , There is only an option to specify a static message on the error . In the process option there is show failure message which is static .

Is there any way to show the errror based on user entry .

Thanks,

The messages can be customized by using for example: =M1
whereby cell M1 contains the error message. That could come from a DBR formula or similar solution.

Can you please elaborate on this .

So on the process option for failure instead of static text , you would reference a cell like M5 .

And then this M5 would read value from a look up cube ,where the error is written via ti ?

How or when do we clear this once a error is written

Yes.

In the same TI prolog you clear the value in the lookup cube before anything else is done.

Action buttons created in Perspectives are not compatible with PAX. You either need to create the button in PAX or run the Perspectives to PAX conversion. Read the docs for PAX.

For buttons that are created in PAX; if you want to change them after the fact you will find that the pane on the right (this can be moved but I think it’s right by default) that has your cubes etc in it has a couple of options at the top - if you swap it off the standard view it will give you a list of buttons that are on the page and you can edit their settings through that.

Edit - looked up the proper names - it’s the “task pane” and you want to flip it to the “workbook view”.
