Hello,
I have situation in report where I use EPM Insert Member and also EPMSaveComment.
After new members are inserted, existing comments are blanked and Save data after that update exsisting comments with blank values
Detail steps:
Open Excel and log on to BPC-NW Environment / model
Create a report selecting a dimension ACCOUNT on the row axis and TIME dimension on the column axis.
Choose Remove Empty and Zero Values for Rows
Add two local Members on the both following columns as follows:
column x: add local Member 1 and leave formula blank
column y: add Local Member 2 and enter an 'EPMSAVECOMMENT' formula which references the column in 'LocalMember1'
Insert Member and enter some values and also comment.
Save and Refresh data.
Insert Member
The comment will disappear from the LocalMember1 (column x).
Questions:
Is it possible to have Insert Member and EPMSave Comment in same Report?
Fact (documentation EPM Add-in 32.28): EPMSaveComment function is executed (only) when you Refresh the worksheet.
But Insert Member function does not Refresh the report in such way that comments with EPMSaveComment function are displayed? They are blanked instead.
If report is refreshed before Save Data then inserted members are deleted because they dont have values
If data is entered for inserted members than with Save Data also previous comments are changed (with blank), because they are different in input screen that those saved before?
If columns for comments are only added in Excel, so that they do not belong to Report, then comments do not dissapear from "blank" column….
… and function EPMSaveComment in second column still save comments
But in that case after Insert Member function outside Report is not available automatically in inserted row
Also if EPMCopyRange is used instead of LocalMembers the situation - dissapearing existing comments when inserting member - is the same
There is similiar situation with Expand and Insert Member functionality explained in Note 1936111 where SAP states that Refresh is needed?
