Preserving Formulas When Retrieving Data
In “Retrieving Data into Formatted Worksheets” on page 105, you used the Retain on Retrieval
option to preserve formatting and formulas in an existing worksheet. Collectively, the Formula
Preservation options enable you to retain formulas during data retrievals, keep and remove only
operations, and drill operations. In addition, Essbase can replicate formulas for additional
members retrieved into the worksheet as part of a drilling operation. This topic shows you how
to create a report using all of the Formula Preservation options.
Keep in mind the following guidelines and restrictions when using the Formula Preservation
options:
● On the Mode tab of the Essbase Options dialog box, you must have the Advanced
Interpretation option selected to enable Retain on Retrieval. The Formula Preservation
options do not work with free-form retrieval mode.
● You must enable Retain on Retrieval to enable Retain on Keep and Remove Only and Retain
on Zooms.
● You must enable Retain on Zooms to enable Formula Fill.
● When you select the Retain on Retrieval check box, the Suppress #Missing Rows and Zero
Rows options on the Display tab are not selectable. If you have selected either of the Display
options, the Formula Preservation options become unselectable automatically.
● When you select the Retain on Zooms check box, the Remove Unselected Groups option
on the Zoom tab is not selectable. When you enable the Remove Unrelated Groups option,
Retain on Zooms becomes unselectable automatically.
● When Retain on Retrieval is selected, retrieval time may be slightly delayed.
● As a general rule, insert a blank row as the last row in the formula range. This action ensures
that the cell range in the formula expands properly when you drill down on members when
Retain on Zooms is selected.
● Formula arrays are not supported in Spreadsheet Add-in when the preserve formula option
is on. If formula arrays are in the worksheet, Essbase does not preserve these types of
formulas.
