Looking for sample Excel Add-in function XFGetMemberInfo for Account

[MitPower01]

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")

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.
