Looking for sample Excel Add-in function XFGetMemberInfo for Account
I tried using this function to pull the account description but keep getting an error. I'm sure because I am using the wrong fields. I looked for samples but can't find any.
XFGetMemberInfo
This function retrieves the description in the system. Each Parameter needs to be defined.
XFGetMemberInfo(MemberInfoType, DimTypeName, MemberName, NameorDesc, NameandDesc)
XFGetMemberInfo only has 3 arguments. If you wanted the description for an account called "Revenue", you would use this syntax.
=XFGetMemberInfo("Description","Account","Revenue")

=XFGetMemberInfo("Description","Account","Revenue")For those who find this looking for the same thing, here is the correct API:
XFGetMemberInfo(string memberInfoType, string dimTypeName, string memberName)Valid options for memberInfoType:
Currency CurrencyId Description DimId DimName Id Name NameAndDescription NameOrDescriptionValid options for dimTypeName :
Note: DimTypeId in parentheses is just for reference, don't include it in XFGetMemberInfo:Entity (0) Consolidation (1) Scenario (2) Time (3) View (4) Account (5) Flow (6) Origin (7) IC (8) UD1 (9) UD2 (10) UD3 (11) UD4 (12) UD5 (13) UD6 (14) UD7 (15) UD8 (16)Hey Robb,
Is there way to pull the "Text" section using XFGetMemberInfo? Like any of the Text 1 to Text 8 fields?
Thanks,
Will
Thank you so much! I couldn't find that example anywhere in the admin guides. And the fact that function template has 5 fields I would never have guessed. Thanks Again!
You're welcome. The easiest way I know of to check what arguments need passed in, is to begin writing the function in excel and clicking on the function arguments (fx) icon.
